 Nothing can derail your business faster than a big dip in Self Belief.  It happens to all of us.  It's human nature.  That doesn't mean you have to keep spinning in the dip.  Let's get you out of there...now!

There are 5 main ways that I create Self Belief.  These ways have helped me achieve things for which I had zero evidence that I would be successful.

We know that entrepreneurship involves a lot of experimentation.  We start from a blank slate.  Everything is new.  There is very little evidence to prove that everything is possible.  That's when Mindset Obstacles sneak in.

As you learned in the previous 4 episodes, you can achieve anything with The Clarity Steps.  Part of that is resolving...Mindset Obstacles.

The Month of December is dedicated to helping you with Mindset Obstacles.  It's very fitting.  Everywhere you look in December, you'll see the word "Believe".  You believed in the magic of the holidays.  You can believe in YOU too!

 

In this episode we explore: 

  • Allowing yourself to Believe
  • Imaging the Metaverse YOU
  • Pretty, sparkly Belief Plans
  • Baby stepping your way to Belief
  • The fun of proving yourself wrong

[0:58] Belief without Evidence - Remember when you believed EVERYTHING about the holiday season?  You've believed without evidence before, you can do it again!  

 

[3:35] Allowing Yourself to Believe- Nobody's stopping you from believing, except you.  Let's take a look.  

 

[11:54] How can Multi-Verse YOU Help? - If it worked for Spiderman, it can work for you.  Confused what I mean...take a listen.

 

[17:07] Pretty, Sparkly Belief Plans How can a glitter covered journal help you achieve the impossible?  When you believe it, you'll see it.

 

[25:08] Thought Bridges- Instant Gratification would be great!  But, if that's not possible, what do you do?  Give up?  Or will you take baby steps across the thought bridge to get to the other side?

 

[30:51] Prove Yourself Wrong - It feels great to be right!  So why not have a little fun being Right, as you prove yourself wrong? 

Consultations are a make or break aspect to many businesses. They are the critical moment to learn what a potential customer really needs and how your product/service is the perfect solution. If you don’t have enough consults or you’re not successfully converting the consults into paying clients, your business will suffer.

This episode is for you. 


There are tons of people that need your help. But, if your Connection skills are off, you’ll be tempted to keep yourself occupied with busy work. That doesn’t keep a business afloat. I have a special course to share with you. I’ll show you the exact psychology and authentic approach that will get you fully booked.


As for the consult itself, guess what? It’s just a series of process steps. Which process steps you may ask? Why, the Clarity Steps of course!  Seriously, this Secret Sauce works on everything!


In this episode I’ll reveal how to use The Clarity Steps as your framework for a Consultation call that converts to a paid client.  You’ll learn how to connect with heart, with their exact needs and deliver on what is most valuable to them.  The Clarity Steps gives you a Win - Win.  A win for them and a win for your business, everytime.


In this episode we explore:

  • An off the shelf offer to help you book more consultations
  • What a consultation actually is
  • What to do before a consultation call
  • How to structure the consultation call (using the Clarity Steps!)
  • A good idea vs. a valuable idea
  • The difference between innovative projects and improvement projects

[4:43] Taking a potential client to a paying client- If you are booking consultation calls, it is time to make sure you are converting a high percentage of those to paying clients.

[7:58] Pour on the Secret Sauce- The clarity steps are back! They are the secret sauce to many components of your business, today we’re using them in your consultation calls. 


[9:27] The Work before the Work- Doing some “pre-work” before your call will help you go into the meeting feeling prepared. 


[14:25] The structure of a strong consultation call- The Clarity Steps are going to help you approach each consultation with the same overall structure. This consistency will give you more confidence and lead to higher conversions. 


[16:07] Guide their vision- Ask some questions, step into their dream with your potential client. This is also when you find out what type of project they have in mind for the potential work. 


[20:03] Good ideas aren’t always valuable- If the product or service doesn't sell, that might mean that your idea doesn’t hold value for your business right now. 


[23:31] Measuring success for potential projects- Success will look different for different types of projects, so asking the right questions in this step is important.

[26:27] Hearing ALL the obstacles- Connecting during this part of a consultation could be what really helps you turn a potential client into a paying client.

[32:05] Uncovering requirements for a successful solution- The lessons learned step will guide the conversation to the must haves within a chosen solution 


[33:10] Extending an offer- If you know you can help, and the potential client is a good fit, it’s time to extend an offer to work together! 


[35:17] Celebrating a two-sided YES- Don’t forget to celebrate the WIN! 


[37:52] Things to keep in mind- This is all a process and your own mindset plays a role.


[41:33] A quick recap- If you need help beyond the application of the Clarity Steps to your consultations calls, I would love to support you.


[44:17] Staying authentic- No matter what type of project, what type of offer, or who the potential client is, don’t forget to add your personal touch to all your consultations.
