To set yourself apart from the others who do what you do, you need to be the first or you need to be unique. Unique is easier.

It’s always amazing to me when you get to have a day where your significant other just spoils you with a loving response! Recently on a date night (I have written about date night before, if you have followed along we always ask each other an important question and we both have to answer our own question honestly as well as the other one). My husband asked what he could do more of at home or in our relationship. Funny thing is here? He ALREADY knew the answer, because we have a little bit of a tiff about it the week before, LOL.
I work from home so I take on the primary responsibilities of the home. The laundry, most of the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning…. you know where I’m going. (When did I become a house wife…that isn’t on my vision board!) Sometimes I’ll just ask him to do some little simple thing and he answers in a way where I feel I’m putting him out. And the funny thing is I’m the primary breadwinner in the house, on top of it LOL! I get it I work from home, I don’t have to put up with the corporate bull, I know get the opportunity to run my schedule I’m not stuck in traffic like he is. But when I ask I’d just appreciate a loving response.
So that came up on date night. And he knew the answer as I said! Fast forward to the Sunday following… he’s building my boxes in the garden and he’s also decided to make the soup for us to eat for lunch this week. While he is busting his butt in the garden I say that I’m in a go in and get the chicken roasted for dinner, and he looks up and says: “I’m going to do that.” I’m like shocked!
The chicken!!
Guess what? He roasted the chicken, he made the soup, he finished the boxes in the garden, AND he got me flowers and a massage that night! Now ladies that’s what I call foreplay! Honestly, we have to be willing to tell the person we love what we need, and I think most of us know that, but we also need a place to talk about it so a loving response is the outcome.
Every Thursday I dedicate my time to my personal growth and development and my business development. I avoid all costs scheduling coaching calls on Thursdays so I can focus, stay disciplined and get stuff done.
Honestly I bust my ass on Thursday! LOL I just say that out loud? Yeah, I did. Oh well. You cannot be reading the Warrior-Preneurs blog is you are scared of the word ass!
If you’re like me and dedicate your time to your development and learning, as well as your business growth and development you know how much hard work it is. There just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day.
1- I implement immediately what I am learning. So Thursday isn’t just about learning new things, I am strategically learning and putting it into practice that SAME day.
2- I know the difference between learning skills sets I need to flourish and learning because I find the subject interesting, or I am “curious.”
And like you I feel frustrated that I don’t get it all done. And at the same time, to have a successful thriving business, it will never be done. There is a ways new content, or old content to update. There is always a new process or system to learn. There is always new technology, and outdated technology as soon as I learn it.
Like I am learning about tele-seminars and webinars and how to integrate them to my email auto responder system so it all runs smoothly and effectively. And honestly, when I go through trying to organize that in my head it hurts!
Sometimes business development hurts! Have to face that if we want to be wildly successful entrepreneurs.
I love speaking on the stage! And I’m sure many of you have learned that it’s one of the most brilliant ways to close clients quickly and effectively. At least you have heard that! Often I find that amazing creative, intuitive entrepreneurs just like me don’t realize that they make 5 mistakes when speaking to sell that stop the BUY.
As a matter of matter fact I think if you understand the clear steps and process to selling from the stage it’s easy to close thousands of dollars in one speaking engagement, be it 20 minutes, or two hours, or two days. I find there are five common mistakes when speaking people make onstage so they do not sell their service. They may be told they are SO inspirational and fabulous…it just not so converting to the sales that they want.
1-you do not clearly share steps to a process that you lead your clients through because you think your cuteness, or intuition, or your credentials are enough to convince them to buy. Ok that’s harsh, but what’s my point, your CREATIVITY doesn’t sell unless your a painter.
2- you do not connect to the audience with a compelling, and emotionally connected story that has a specific WHY connected to the audience, what you sell, and more importantly why they care. Storytelling is inspirational, it alone is not a sales strategy without the WHY.
3-your transition to your offer lacks Bad-Assery confidence and energetically turns your audience off. Let’s face it, if you do not confidentially talk about your offer like you do the rest of your presentation THEY feel it.
4-you are not making a clear promise to the buyer if they sign on the line about what they’re going to get and how they will transform. You may think you do, but in 18 years teaching this, most people are not selling the promise.
5-you are constantly creating “new presentations” instead of perfecting one (or maybe two) presentation that is clearly based on the process you sell. With out this you are not know for anything. AND repetition is the key to good marketing anyway.
These five mistakes when speaking give you some ideas about how to grow and excel from the stage and earn what you deserve. I would encourage you to sign up for my five videos on how to improve these five steps and have greater success on the stage.
Don’t you want to receive what you deserve? I do!
The world is truly an amazing place. I 100% believe in the law of attraction and abundance. Of course I have to put in the action to receive correct?
When you finally get clarity about what the “hell you sell”, and you develop it and organize it in a way that makes sense to others the universe floodgates just open up! I like many of my clients, as a creative, idea generating, intuitive entrepreneur have so many ideas and things that I could sell and can do. But that doesn’t mean I should be!
And having the confidence to truly just draw the line and own what it is you do is the first step to receive what you deserve. Last year was that year for me. I had to create the clarity and confidence in what I do. I had to feel the fear of not selling it easily yet. I had to start saying NO to something that I was good at doing but didn’t passionately love and turn down work that would make me some money but not ultimately fill my passion and desire. And this year I’m stepping out with that true clarity, and guess what? The floodgates are open. Actually in a half an hour just a couple days ago I received three emails from people wanting to work with me (coaching, closed 2 in 1 to 1 Consultation Calls) and two emails for speaking engagements that are actually paid (not ones where I have to speak for free and then sell back of room)!
Wouldn’t you LOVE that? To receive what you deserve?
It comes with how clear you are in what you do. And here’s the catch:
Most of you think you are clear but that clarity is only in your mind.
The buyers do not see your clarity.
This was my struggle and I would network and speak and was told how inspiring I am and still the sales weren’t coming. That is because until you get clear you do not create cash.
And it is possible for highly creative intuitive service based entrepreneurs like me who love what they do to be clear and still be creative and intuitive! How? You have to organize your knowledge and the ability and experience, that’s the second step. It’s actually pretty simple to do, what I work with in my Confidence and Content Creation program.
1-Own what you know and sell–GET REALLY CLEAR
2-Organize what you own and sell in a way that makes sense to your buyers.
3-Share what you do in an organized way when you speak, network or market!
