Attract Clients: 3 Powerful Secrets that Influence the Types of Clients You Attract
Are you aware of powerful factors in play that determine the types of clients you attract?
It’s not only about how well you market your business that determines how many and the type of clients that eagerly walk into your world. How you are acting, and “being”, all influenced by your mindset, is the most powerful influence of all.
Here are three powerful secrets that influence the types of clients you attract into your business.
Secret #1: Increase awareness of how you speak to yourself
Do you frequently tell yourself that there’s no one on your list, in your space who can become a paying client, much less a high-paying client? Or, that people can’t afford a coach? Or, “Who am I to think I can charge “x” dollars?”
Basically, when you talk to yourself this way you are acting out what you believe…and you get what you say! In other words, what you tell yourself becomes your reality.
To shift into empowering mind-talk (rather than disempowering), be aware of the thoughts that run through your mind over the next three to five days. What will happen is you will become aware of the disempowering thoughts that cycle around in your mind, and influence your reality. Become aware of these thoughts, and consciously shift them into empowering thoughts.
Secret #2: Up level your physical and emotional environments
Your environment includes your physical, as well as your emotional space.
A “dysfunctional” physical work space is one that has stacks of paper piled everywhere, is disorganized, messy, and does not reflect who you are. You can tell if your space is disempowering you if you walk into it, and you feel a noticeable drop in your energy and state of being.
Who are you? What do you love and enjoy? Surround yourself with these items. In my office I have flowers, tasseled lamp shades, pictures of my adult children, beautiful curtains, and vintage art. My space uplifts me, and makes me feel good when I am in it.
Our emotional environment is a powerful positive or negative influence on us, as well. Are you around whiners, complainers, moaners, “never enoughs,” or people with “victim” mentalities? This type of personality is toxic and energetically draining to be around; they suck the life right out of you, leaving you with little mental space to get the work done you need to do.
Surround yourself with positive, uplifting, optimistic, achievement-oriented, wealth-conscious, successful people. They will take you with them where they are going, energetically into a space of higher possibility and being, and influence your the level of success you achieve. (and think you will achieve)
Secret #3: Be willing to receive the flow of money into your life
As women entrepreneurs, it is naturally in our hearts to want to help others. That is why many of us start businesses, so we can help others be successful by offering the knowledge, skills and experience we’ve gained.
Unfortunately, as women, we may have been told while growing up that money isn’t something women talk about, and it is a masculine trait to desire money. This upbringing is part of the money story that many women grew up with, and then subconsciously women push money away, by not allowing it to flow into their life. Examples of how this may show up in our life are by:
1. Not charging enough for our services (or even not charging for them at all)
2. Harboring feelings of lack of self worth
3. Having a fear of alienating someone by earning more money or facing disapproval
By brushing money away, you diminish your power and your ability to help others. An important point to note is you can keep pushing money away, be less successful (or poor) and help a few people. Or, be more successful, richer, and have the power to serve many more people. Which would you like to choose? Helping a few people, or helping many?
You have to earn enough money to take care of yourself, before you can have enough money to begin helping your family, then your community, and then the world.
Money only amplifies who you are; it does not take anything away.
So, you see, having money isn’t being selfish, greedy, or masculine. It is the medium women will use to leverage their feminine power to infuse a loving and graceful spirit into the universe, and help others.
To attract the type of clients you desire you must up level your internal talk, environments, and be willing to receive adequate money for your talents and gifts.
All these things put together have a profound effect on the type of client you attract, as well as what you attract in your life.
My request of you this week is to choose one of the three area above to focus on up leveling in your life so you attract clients who value and respect you, and you can create more income and success in your business!
Well said Bonita!
I love how you connect the money mindset, and how making more money allows you to really BE more, and BRING more of who you are and what you offer to others, and that you have to take the oxygen mask first, and make money to support yourself first, SO THAT you can do all the things (including donating money) for others.
It’s what I teach in my Art of Negotiation for Women programs, because the whole topic of money is so often what blocks many women from asking for (negotiating) what they want, and getting what they’re worth.
Thank you for sharing this,
Carrie
Thanks Carrie! You are so right, so many women have a block toward asking for enough money that represents what they’re worth. And, negotiations is a skill so many have never practiced nor mastered. Your negotiation program is so timely, as more and more women are coming to understand they will have a more positive impact on their lives, their family’s lives, and those they’re meant to serve and help…once they know how to confidently ask for what they’re worth! ~Bonita
