I Wish I Could Share This Client Attraction Secret With You PersonallyI Wish I Could Share This Client Attraction Secret With You Personally Many adults would love to quit their jobs and work for themselves: to be our own boss, to set our own schedule, to succeed on our own terms. Keep in mind that anything you need from a practical standpoint in order to start a business and consistently attract local and global clients is available out there somewhere. You can pick up all the guidance, and the wisdom you need from the internet, from millionaire mentors, or a library. So, if money isn't necessary to attract clients, and knowledge isn't necessary, then what is? What's absolutely necessary is to develop the thinking pattern of the entrepreneur, which is the individual who looks at life and asks how he or she can improve things for others. Even in a down economy, there are major cash-flow increases being made using technology as the backbone of our systems, and also in the world of providing services to people. In fact, as the world becomes increasingly dependent on technology, the human is becoming lonelier. The attention you give your client is even more important, and even more highly prized. The failure to create a consistent stream of cash-flow and client attractive business while holding a corporate job comes, therefore, not in terms of the time or money resources necessary to start a business, but the mindset necessary in order to make it succeed. So, here are the secrets to building a entrepreneur mindset: Look at everything and ask, "Where's the opportunity in this?" You must constantly look for hidden assets and opportunities, both tangible and intangible, in every area of your life. Ask yourself, your friends, your family, "How will this product/service solve a problem?" Flexibility is the foundation of an entrepreneur's mindset. It means you realize there are always many ways to get where you're going, so you remain to discovering the ones that fit you best, that you'll enjoy the most, and the ones you don't mind handing off to a team member to take over. The entrepreneur's concept is "Ready, fire, aim, FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!" Once you understand your ideal client and how only you can solve their problems in a unique way, go out and apply it. Too many adults, who work a corporate job, are just sitting there on top of a gold-mine of ideas to increase their revenue. Why don't they implement their ideas you ask? Because I have found that the corporate adult mindset is "Ready, ready, aim, ready, ready, aim, ready, ready, and so on." Many adults contemplate action, but never actually do anything for fear of making a mistake and losing money. Entrepreneurs realize that Client Attraction Marketing is the life force of all business achievement. You must make attracting clients a priority. Stop wasting time on picking out graphics for your business cards. Stop creating a website that your friends like, but doesn't generate consistent revenue. Your focus should be to continually demonstrate the benefits people get from working with you. Now, the final element of becoming a client attractive entrepreneur without quitting your job is that there's a logical order to things. Attracting a full practice of clients is not coincidence. Making $10,000 a month is not random. There's an immutable order in nature, and in business. All you have to do is find the system that brings you the most high-paying clients. Once that's done in sequence, it becomes relatively simple to achieve what you want in your small business. Remember, you don't want to recreate the wheel. You want to ride a turbo charged Jet Ski that someone else built.
