It Might As Well Be YOU
Someone is getting the business...and it might as well be you. Take a look at my blog to discover the nearly "impossible" things my clients are accomplishing despite the economy.
How do they do it? I remember Wayne Dyer describing an airport scene when his flight was canceled. Everyone around him was angry, cursing, bemoaning the trouble this was causing them. He, on the other hand, was on the phone with his travel agent who immediately got him on another flight to the same destination. It's an attitude thing, which more important now than ever before.
There are opportunities and clients out there. Why shouldn't it be you serving them? I'd love to hear about the action you're taking. Please post a comment on my blog and share what's been working well for you.
The Value of a Show-stopper
One of my Mastermind Group members recently sold a piece of her jewelry for close to $10,000. One of her earliest goals this session was to create a show-stopper-a piece that she creatively and joyfully designed without budget consideration. That was the necklace that sold.
It's always a good idea when pricing your goods and services to have options for your buyers. When I was exhibiting my art I always had a show-stopper to attract attention to my booth. Visit my blog to learn more about why a show-stopper is such a good idea, even in today's economy. Have any show-stoppers of your own?Please share.
What to do About "No-brainers"
We've all heard it - "that's a no-brainer." The implication is that it's money in the bank and all you have to do is wave your magic wand and collect. Not so!
As an example, there was the snap-of-the-fingers suggestion my colleague/client decided to pursue. She's a professional organizer and knew it would be a "no-brainer" to open a store and sell products to her customers. Read my blog about the lesson she discovered.
The reality here is that "no-brainers" are a dime a dozen. The implementation is the unsexy, nitty-gritty hard work that takes TIME. When you get a great idea or no-brainer, create a mind-map and jot down what's entailed. What resources do you need? Whose services are required? What market will you reach and how?
Brains or no brains, following through on any agenda item requires brains, muscle, heart and soul.
