Are you telling yourself that you can’t do it?  Do you find yourself getting excited about your business, but then you stop because something happens to steer you off your course?  If this is your situation, then you are not alone. I have come up with three easy steps that will help you to get back on track and into creating more prosperity and joy for your business.

Self-sabotage shows up in many ways. Trust me when I say that I have been through it so I know how challenging it can be.  If you are like many passionate and driven women entrepreneurs,you might feel stuck and want to throw in the towel when things don’t work out as planned. It’s easy to give up, but this is the wrong mindset to have, and if you give up, then you just become like everyone else.  You are here to fulfill your life’s purpose;  in order to do that you have to realize and be OK with things not always working out 100% of time.  The good news is that you can turn around any situation and actually have it work out better than you ever imagined.   Self-sabotage is the number one all-time dream crusher that will disempower you and your business.  I want you to be successful, so here are three ways to help you overcome your inner saboteur.

1.Delete your old ways of seeing yourself. When you see yourself as not being able to attract your first client or first six figures in your business, you recreate that pattern of self-sabotage.  When you deletethe old images of failing, it will help you to create the space to hold new images of success. Imagine if you were to go shopping for a new wardrobe and your closet is so full with old clothes that don’t fit or are so outdated that you can’t possibly put your new clothes in there until you do some cleaning up.  It’s important to go through all the old images and stories,and then address them as they come up.If you really want to immerse yourself and be open for more prosperity,then write down all of your negative images that you see about yourself that are not serving you, and create new visions of success.

2. Stop comparing your success to other people in your industry. If you are one of those people who are checking out other people’s websites and feeling overwhelmed because you feel that are not there yet, then you immediately need to stop.  Comparing yourself to others in your industry is an energy drain.  In fact, it takes you out of your focus and flow, especially if you are a sensitive person.  I remember my coach telling me to stop looking at other people’s stuff and thinking that I was less than.  She made me realize that I had a gift and that people would seek me out because of this gift. Additionally, if I just focused on my success, then I would start shifting my situation around and I found that she was right.  Spend time focusing on what is working right now. This could be that you took the first step in your business and hired a mentor or coach.

3 Create a positive self-talk with yourself every day.  How you talk to yourself is everything. If you tell yourself it’s impossible, then you will create beliefs that reaffirm this, and you will attract exactly that belief.  When you talk to yourself in ways that are more loving and nurturing, you can start to shift out of the negative emotions that cause stress and the inability to take action.  Self-talk can be used to powerfully release your old self-sabotaging ways.

For example, if you are not making money right now in your business, then shift from telling yourself from the belief that it will never happen and that you have to struggle to the belief that I can do this and somehow, some way it will all work out.

Many passionate driven women coaches, consultants, holistic practitioners, and entrepreneurs have issues around money. They might have a lot of debt or they find it hard to make and keep more money in their business.  I have helped clients heal their issues with money so fast that some in less than 24 hours are attracting new clients and doubling their revenues in record time.  I am so passionate that I can help anyone heal their money issue as long as they are willing to follow my exact step-by-step system.

1. Surface up your negative beliefs around money. If you are having issues with money then you need to look at the beliefs that are negatively impacting you. These beliefs can be things like:

I don’t deserve to be spiritual and make good money
I fear success
I fear failure
Money is evil
People that are rich with money are bad
If I have money my friends/family won’t like me
It’s hard to have a success business in this economy
Why would someone want to hire or buy my products/services since
I don’t have that much experience

Once you surface up these negative beliefs around money, then you can really start to free yourself from having it be a taskmaster.  One of the most powerful full processes that I teach in my Money and Miracles Breakthrough program is getting to the root of someone’s money issues.  First, we look at the beliefs, and then we go back to moments in their lives when it first was created, this is called Reprogramming Your Inner Child.

Unfortunately, affirmations alone don’t work to heal your money issues because they fail to address the root cause.  I have worked with clients all over the world and have taken them through this powerful and freeing process.  As they progress through it, they feel
a huge sense of relief.

2.  Have a debt forgiveness attitude. If you find that you are beating yourself up around debt, then understand that you can’t create more when you are focused on lack. Step three in my 7- step Money and Miracles Breakthrough Program, I have clients focus on making money instead of debt because it helps them to shift from lack consciousness into prosperity consciousness.  *I paid off a $20,000 debt using this exact same process!

3. Move forward and be uncomfortable.  You have to take the next step in order to attract a new client, or your very first one and this can make you feel uncomfortable.  When you stay in your old routines of playing it safe, it’s hard to attract more money to you.  By playing it safe, you might be telling yourself or doing the following:

I can’t invest in one more thing because I already did another program that didn’t work and I am in debt.

I don’t like getting on the phone and talking to people they will just think I am trying to sell them something

I don’t know what the first step I need to take so I won’t do anything.

You have to push through this thinking, and stand firm in your own power that by taking the next step that sometimes  might be uncomfortable to open up more opportunities than you can ever imagine.

If you are not moving forward, then how do you expect your prospective clients to do the same?

Are you struggling with enrolling clients?
How do you feel when you can’t sign up a client?
Or if you are BRAND new to your business and have no idea where to start?

This can be extremely frustrating because you live by the spiritual principles of I loving to help others. However, when it comes to money and clients that’s becomes a huge block for you…right?

I have written a checklist that will help you to get clear on what you need to do in order to change this around in the next 30 days.

Interested?
Then read on….

Client attraction strategies made simple:

Set an intention to attract three new clients in 30 days. For some of you, that might be a huge trigger if you are new to your business, or if you have fear or block around selling.

(And hey, if you are feeling a little ambitious, then put it out there to attract more than three!)

The next step is to get clear on the kind of clients you want to attract. The problem I see is that coaches, consultants, and practitioners don’t know who they want to work with, so they just blindly market to everyone.

MYTH: When you market to everyone, you actually make it harder to attract clients.
The secret is to get CRYSTAL CLEAR about your ideal clients. When you do, then you will see them appear out of blue.

Fill in the blank below

My ideal client is ____________________________.

Now that you are clear, you need to focus on what you are offering.
This is what I call your offer or packages.

If you are a coach, then you can offer coaching packages.
For example, you have a One-year Diamond package; that program is your highest level of a client working with you 1-1.

Then you also have a lower end package that would provide a client less contact time and would not offer all of the things in the highest program.

Apply this same model to consultants and practitioners too!

From there, you want to know how to price your services, programs,  and packages. It’s important to charge what you are worth. Otherwise, you will be giving away your power and devaluing yourself.  I know coaches that keep giving away their services for free, and as a result, they never make any money. This is due to fear and not knowing how to charge.  I have a formula that walks you through step by step on how to charge what you are worth in my Money and Miracles Breakthrough Program.

One tip is to stop charging hourly.  This doesn’t serve you or the client. Come up with a package where the client sees the value, and not the hourly price.

Now on to one of my favorite points: how to have a conversation that sells.
For example, let’s say you have prospective clients that are asking you about what you charge and offer.

Do you tell them your prices and fees right there on the spot?

That answer should be no.  Instead, what you want to do is to create a simple selling template to walk  prospective clients through.

Here are the key points to have in your client attraction selling guide:

Talk about their issues and challenges
Understand what they want
Explain your offer with your signature system (This is your own step-by-step process
that will get them the results they desire)
Offer them incentives and bonuses for signing up

The last step is your marketing plan, so here’s what you need:

Create lead generation strategies that attract people to this discovery session.
You can do this online or even at networking meetings.

Focus on meeting as many people as you can in the next two weeks. Then you can schedule your time to meet with them either on the phone or in person.

If you get 10 appointments and have all these systems in place, then you should be able to attract three new paying clients!

How cool is that?

Many spirit-driven coaches, consultants, healers, therapists, and practitioners will stuck at some point in their business. From just getting started, attracting their first client or next, even breakthrough their first six figures in their business or beyond.  Blocks can feel huge because they negatively impact your business along with the other areas in your life and if you don’t learn how to remove them then you’ll find yourself stuck and want to give up.

There’s good news because I am here to tell you it doesn’t have to be that way.  I have 3 tips that can help you to remove these blocks once and for all.

The first step is you need to figure out where you are the most blocked. This might sound simple yet many spirit-driven women entrepreneurs (and bold men) will be in denial that they are blocked because they want to appear that they have it all together or they feel ashamed and don’t want to share it with anyone.  It’s ok because I have been there myself and I know how heavy it can feel.

The second step is to DECIDE that you want to remove this block.  There is a difference is saying that you want to resolve the issue and you actually take action rather than wishing things would change and keep doing what you have always done.  In order to shift this
block you must be willing to go out of your comfort zone.  Nothing will change if you stay stagnate so you must take the action necessary.

Here are some examples:

Hire a coach or get into a program (you must invest in yourself in order to go to the next level. Trying to figure things out on your own or signing up for a bunch of free program isn’t going to cut it)

Change your niche or redefine it (if you are staying in a broke niche this is costing you or not knowing how to tell people what it is that you do)

Work on your beliefs around worthiness (feeling good enough will affect your money flow)

Be bold and ask for the sale (if you have issues signing up prospective clients chances are you are not asking for the sale)

If something isn’t working then affirm that you will find a way.  Many times you become so focused on what is not working it leaves no room for your subconscious mind and the Universe to help solve it.  (When you release this issue you will find the right people and resources appear).

Let go of any unnecessary energy drains that are affecting your well being. If a client owes you money make it a point to be first and take action, let go of clients that are not serving you, or personal relationships.

BONUS TIP: Look around your home and clean out the clutter. (This can create a huge energy shift in how you can focus more along with allowing more money to flow to you!)

Thirdly, is to remain positive no matter how things look on the outside. This can be challenging however not impossible. When I take my clients through the first step in the Money and Miracles Breakthrough program it shows them how to shift instantly around the worry, doubt, and stress about money. As a result they can instantly attract clients out of the blue along with miracles to problems they have been facing in their business or even in other areas of their lives.

The best way to generate income, or even double and triple it is to attract high-end clients. No matter what kind of business you have, you can create packages andservices to attract these ideal clients. Here are my three tips in attracting high-end paying clients.

1.Customize it: Whether you are a coach, consultant, or even have a brick and mortar type of business, you can create your high-end offers with customization.  For example, if you are a web design consultant, then you might want to include customized marketing materials.

2. Create a high-end enrollment guide: When asking for higher fees, it’s important that you create an enrollment guide that shows your potential clients the value when working with you.

If you don’t have this, then you’ll find it very hard asking for your higher fees.  Creating this guide is critical to attracting high-end clients because it allows you to be clear on what you are offering along with creating confidence.   This is something that I help my Diamond clients create and once they are able to master this process they are able to charge what they are worth which means doubling and tripling their income in record time.

3. Create packages with high-end bonuses: I recommend giving bonuses that are irresistible to potential high-end clients.  Here are some must haves to keep in mind when designing your offers.

• Must have high value (you wouldn’t just give away something that is a $25 value)
  For example I give a copywriting critique to those that pay in full as a Diamond Client.

• Create time sensitive bonuses (this encourages them to start working with you and they win because they receive want the want)

P.S. If you are looking to finally breakthrough your issues around charging what you are worth so that you can have a successful business and attract great paying clients, then check out the Money and Miracles Breakthrough program. Starts May 23rd.

Are you brand new to your business or do you lack the confidence in asking people to pay what you want for your services and as a result you undercharge but over deliver?  Whether you are a coach, consultant, or practitioner charging what you are worth, you can feel uneasy if you don’t have the beliefs that support you.   Additionally, it can be a huge energy drain if you are giving away too much.  As a result you will attract the same kinds of clients that don’t value what you do.  Here are three ways to help you confidently stand in your power when charging what you are worth.

1. Invest in trainings and on going education. In order to command your fees, you need to invest in trainings that can help you increase your fees anywhere from hundreds to thousands. Imagine having a new skill set that would help your clients. This is what will make you more in demand.  For example, if you are a web designer and now you learned how to market websites taking a course or training, then you now have a value added service you can provide to your clients.The fastest way to excel is hiring a private mentor because you are getting their knowledge and passing it down to your clients.

2. Create visibility. The more people see your name, the easier it is to establish credibility in your industry. Go out and publish online articles or write for local newspapers or magazines.

Once you get the ball rolling, you will find that your name is everywhere!

Here are some other ideas:

Write press releases
Radio and TV interviews
Telesummita guest or host your own
Write a book
Speaking

This is exactly what I did to get my business going and I call it the Rinse, Lather and Repeat marketing technique.

3. Create a belief that you are worth it. One of the things that I teach my mentoring clients and in my Money and Miracle Breakthrough program is how to create beliefs that supports what they want to charge. First, surface up the negative belief around charging what you are worth. It might be something like this:

No one in my industry is charging that much
No one will pay what I feel I deserve
I am brand new and have to pay my dues in order to charge what I want
I don’t feel confident
What happens if I can’t deliver what I promised to my clients
I feel like a fraud

Simply create beliefs that support where you want to be and not where you are right now.
If you are a new in your business, then you have to think as if you are already a seasoned pro. This means believing in yourself and that you have what it takes.  The key is to focus on attracting clients that see and feel your value.  I have created an entire system that shows women entrepreneurs how to stand in their own power. Once they do, then they find that they are doubling their fees in just a few short months.

Do you want to know the fastest way to grow your business in the shortest amount of time? If you are committed to your success, then I have a checklist for you.

1. Know Your Niche: First you need to know who your ideal clients are. This might mean redefining your niche. You can’t be all things to all people, so it’s important that you are clear on this and that your niche is lucrative.

2. Create Your Offers After you have defined your niche you need to create your offers. This applies to coaches, consultants, therapists, speakers, and practitioners.  The key to creating these offers is showing your prospective clients the value so you can charge what you are worth.  Take some time to create a word-for-word enrollment guide. I have all my Diamond clients do this step and as a result, they are able to convert more clients.

3. Client Attraction Marketing: You also want to create a marketing message that attracts your ideal clients. This means getting inside of their heads and heart to identify what it is they need and how you can help them. You can create content by doing this step and use it in the form of articles, blog posts, brochures, business cards, presentations and more.

4. Create leverage: How would you like to multiply your efforts and get in front of more of your ideal clients? You can by gettingthe help from others. Creating joint venture partnerships are great to build your list and increase your sales. I have done many of these campaigns and have a step-by-step formula that shows you how to easily attract the right partners. It’s important that you get clear on the kind of partners you would like to work with and that you also create a win-win situation.

5. Marketing plan: Having a marketing plan is key to being clear with how people will get to know about you and your work. You can create a monthly, quarterly, or six month plan.

You can use social media, video, networking, articles, networking, and speaking to attract your ideal clients. The key is to remember that marketing is a one-time event. You need to consistently market yourself so that you ensure a steady stream of clients and revenues. I know for most women they want to feel financially secure and not have to worry about bills or debt.

6. Create a money mindset: This is one of the most critical pieces that you need in your business. If you desire is to create your first six figures or beyond, then you need to be able to see yourself from the end result no matter what.  This means when things don’t appear on the outside as planned, you need to be able to shift into “I can do this” mode.  This is how I set myself apart from traditional business coaches because I address this piece first. I have had clients attract money within 24 hours or less by just shifting their beliefs around money. This is something that I am so passionate about and teach anyone to instantly shift their money set point. Remember you need to work on this everyday. Don’t get caught up in the details and how it will happen. Your mind is so powerful that it will find a way once you allow yourself to be in the space of receiving.

7. Invest in yourself: When I hired a mentor, my entire business and life changed. I was able to make more money in one month then I did in an entire year.  The investment was high but the pay off made up for it.  If you are not willing to invest in yourself, then how can you expect to ask others to invest in you?  The more you invest in yourself the more you business will expand and you’ll be able to hire a team which means more free time for you.  The best part of investing in yourself is that it will come back to you multiplied.
