On my social media <laugh>
blog, I received a question,
Speaker:obviously from a coach. How
do I attract higher quality,
Speaker:higher standard clients
in my coaching business?
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:I believe that the world on the outside
is a reflection of what's going on on
Speaker:the inside.
Speaker:So if you become what
you want as a client,
Speaker:you increase that odd.
Speaker:So I tell people there's seven
areas of life that you can empower
Speaker:in life. You can have intellectual
empowerment by coming up with ingenious,
Speaker:creative, innovative ideas
and original thinking.
Speaker:And you can be empowered in
business and make business savvy and
Speaker:learn how to prioritize your business
and delegate more and prioritize things
Speaker:and become a specialist and gain your
core competence and excel in an area that
Speaker:you become a specialist in that
people want, which raises the value.
Speaker:You can master wealth building and save
a portion of whatever you earn and start
Speaker:having buying assets and accumulate,
Speaker:appreciating assets so you become more
valuable and more selective in the
Speaker:clients that you have.
Speaker:You can make sure you have a stable
family dynamic and relationship dynamic so
Speaker:you're not debas and out partying
and hanging out with people
Speaker:that are basically, what's the say,
Speaker:not inspired by their life possibly.
Speaker:You can actually start social networking
and interact with people and make a
Speaker:commitment to interact with people that
do extraordinary things and hang out
Speaker:with those people and pay
the associations to do that.
Speaker:Or you can make sure you're physically
fit and stamina and strong and
Speaker:endurant, and well built and well
functioning as a physical body,
Speaker:which automatically makes you look like
you're mastered your life there too.
Speaker:And you can also be inspired. So any
area of your life that you don't empower,
Speaker:people overpower you. And any area
of your life you get to empower,
Speaker:draws and magnetizes more
opportunity, because people,
Speaker:if you look very carefully and ask what
men and women are looking for in a mate,
Speaker:they're looking for people who are
empowered in as many areas as possible.
Speaker:They want somebody fit, they
want somebody intelligent,
Speaker:they want somebody that's ambitious,
they want somebody with resources,
Speaker:they want somebody that's loyal to them,
Speaker:they want somebody that's socially
savvy, somebody who's inspired.
Speaker:So any of those things will
automatically draw you and
Speaker:magnetize higher quality
people in your life.
Speaker:And in that process you will increase
the probability of getting higher quality
Speaker:clients, because you're
demonstrating that yourself.
Speaker:And if you're demonstrating
the mastery of your life,
Speaker:people are going to notice it and they're
going to be more likely to do that.
Speaker:I also found in my life that
as I saved and invested money
Speaker:and built my wealth, my
client levels went up.
Speaker:I get to hang out with people that are
very wealthy today and who have a lot
Speaker:more influence and that are higher
standards and they're more intelligent.
Speaker:If I keep educating myself,
Speaker:I get in my more intelligent and I
speak more intelligently and I get more
Speaker:intelligent clients. If I've got
wealth, I get more wealthy clients.
Speaker:If I've got business savvy and
I've got a growing business,
Speaker:I got more business savvy clients.
Speaker:So the world reflects
what's going on inside.
Speaker:So make a commitment to find your
niche that's really inspiring,
Speaker:that your core competent,
prioritize your daily actions on it,
Speaker:become expert in that,
delegate lower priority things,
Speaker:and don't do low priority things that
devalue you because people will devalue
Speaker:you and they won't value your
time. Put a fee on it that's fair,
Speaker:so it's sustainable. And don't
exaggerate or minimize yourself.
Speaker:It's hard to sell something that's an
exaggeration or minimization of you.
Speaker:You don't want to sell it if it's too
low and you can't sell if it's too high,
Speaker:because you don't own it. And
find out what's true for you.
Speaker:Keep a record of all the different
people that you've served and get all the
Speaker:testimonials from that so you have real
cases so you feel certain and review
Speaker:those cases and have them available for
people when you run into people that
Speaker:have certain issues.
Establish needs in people.
Speaker:Don't just presume you have some solution
to them until you establish a need.
Speaker:Never offer a solution till
you've established a need.
Speaker:Find out what people really
need and meet those needs.
Speaker:And if you're not the one for them,
Speaker:find somebody that can help them and
they'll respect you and they'll refer
Speaker:people to you. But give more
than what people expect.
Speaker:If you give more than what they expect,
my dad taught me that when I was young,
Speaker:give people more than they
ever expect. You know,
Speaker:when people come to my Breakthrough
Experience program, I ask them,
Speaker:how many have you got something this
weekend they didn't anticipate and it was
Speaker:more than they expect, and they
all put their hands up, I deliver.
Speaker:I don't want to be on the other side
where they don't feel like I've got
Speaker:something. I want to make sure
they got more than they expect.
Speaker:And if you do that, you'll do it.
Speaker:And if you define exactly what it is
that you have as a client and not accept
Speaker:something less than that, because
birds of a feather flock together,
Speaker:people see that you're
with lower quality clients,
Speaker:they're going to probably think, well,
that's not where I belong. You know,
Speaker:if you wanted to go and invest money
with somebody, with an investor,
Speaker:for instance, and they have clients
that are only saving, you know,
Speaker:a hundred thousand dollars and
you want to be a multimillionaire,
Speaker:you're probably going to go I don't
think that's the investor for me.
Speaker:I want somebody that's used to
managing people in the multimillions.
Speaker:So if you're not, you know,
Speaker:not in the resonation and not playing
it, they're not going to come to you.
Speaker:That's why you want to empower
all areas of your life.
Speaker:That's why I teach people that because
it gives them a competitive advantage and
Speaker:draws in more business
to them. And of course,
Speaker:when you actually have your investments
building up and you've got cash reserves
Speaker:and you're building assets,
you are more selective.
Speaker:So that's my advice is to go
and empower all those areas,
Speaker:invest and build your own wealth.
Target the area that you want to do,
Speaker:delegate lower priority things.
Speaker:Start associating with people that are
amazing people that are out there doing
Speaker:it and network, build a social network.
Speaker:Hang out with the people
that are going places.
Speaker:And define what it is you're doing and
make sure you look at honestly at what
Speaker:you can deliver and only sell what you're
certain about and first establish a
Speaker:need and make sure it's really a need.
Speaker:A lot of entrepreneurs project assumptions
on what the market wants instead of
Speaker:finding out what the market's ready
to buy and getting a demand for it.
Speaker:As you get a demand, your
your fees will go up,
Speaker:your value will go up and
you'll select your clients.
Speaker:So those are just some of the things you
can do to increase the quality of the
Speaker:clients you do. And just,
just a few things anyway.
Speaker:But just know that you gotta give
yourself permission to do something
Speaker:extraordinary in the world. If
you do, people will notice it.
Speaker:And the higher quality
clients are coming your way.
Speaker:Become a higher quality person,
a higher standard person,
Speaker:and a higher quality client will
come to you. That's my experience.
