Attracting Ideal Clients

Work on your Goals

 "If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us."

~Jim Rohn

I love quotes. There is so much wisdom contained in them. This quote from Jim Rohn reminds us of the importance of planning and goal-setting. The simple act of making a plan or setting a goal begins a chain reaction of activities that will lead us to greater success.

Action Step: What goals can you set today that will move your business forward? Take 10 minutes to set a goal and then take one action toward that goal.

Success Secrets: Express Gratitude to Attract More Positive Outcomes

One of the qualities you need to possess to build a successful business is gratitude. You will benefit by being grateful for what you have in your life and in your business. It’s easy to focus on the negative. It can be hard to focus on the positive.

Make it a habit each day to express gratitude for what you have. You can do this alone and in silence or however you want. When you acknowledge what you already have that you appreciate, you are more likely to attract similar things into your life.

This practice also works with clients. Express gratitude for the clients you have. It’s also worthwhile to acknowledge your clients with thanks. Send them a thank you card. Send an ecard. Send a gift. Find some special way to say thanks for their business.

Express Gratitude to your Clients!

Take time to express gratitude and you will live a richer life. You will have riches that extend beyond wealth.

Success Secrets: Persistence

Building a successful business takes a lot of effort and it takes persistence. If you want to run a business that you’re passionate about and that generates a profit, you need to be in it for the long haul.

The Challenge:
The challenge is that it’s too easy to give up. Even though you want something, it doesn’t mean you will be able to accomplish it easily. I’m in favor of adopting a positive mindset. At the same time, you need to be realistic.

Jim Collins, in his excellent book, Good to Great, talked about Confronting the Brutal Truths. That means recognizing the problems in your business and doing something about them. You need to make some hard decisions from time to time to keep moving forward.

Failure is part of success. Not everyone succeeds on the first try. The important thing is to stay in the game and keep playing.

Your Opportunity:
If you are willing to persist, you will eventually win. You will experience success along the way. One of the ironic characteristics of success I have noticed is that you can experience success and failure on the same day. You can receive good news and bad news at the same time.

One of my success coaches Andrew Barber-Starkey explained the importance of celebrating your successes. You need to acknowledge and reward yourself for your successes. That will encourage more success in the future. Reward what you want to see more of.

Persistence is one of the keys to success and I encourage you to keep going even if you need to make some adjustments along the way.

Partner with People to Team Up and Increase your Success

One of the strategies that has made me successful is to partner with people. Building a business takes time and effort. As a solopreneur, there's a lot of work to do. You can delegate tasks, but it can be challenging to hand off the right tasks.

If you want to increase your results, look for opportunities to team up. I value people and look for people to partner with. I have been fortunate to find many other entrepreneurs to work with over the last 6 years.

I have gained value from working with coaches and mentors. I have also gotten a lot of value from the relationships I have developed with my fellow business owners.

I recently teamed up and wrote a book with Joy Klepac, Todd Lay, Sonika Tinker, Brian Brunckhorst, Linda Distler and Keith Huggett.

The book is called Seize your Opportunities. It's a collection of tips, strategies and stories to help you identify opportunities to help you succeed in your business.
