What is your vision? How do you see your clients?
Speaker:If you were to ask yourself if all of a sudden my clients were to double,
Speaker:would I be able to handle it? What's my weak link?
Speaker:Where's my block in the growth process? And be prepared for it.
Speaker:Your business capacity
Speaker:is based on the number of new clients. You have
Speaker:x the case visit average or the client visit average.
Speaker:So that means that the number of clients x
Speaker:what is the general service, net service that you provide,
Speaker:will determine the practice capacity, the business capacity.
Speaker:So how big is that business is gonna be based on the number of clients you have
Speaker:and the number of services you provide that client,
Speaker:what's the average per client.
Speaker:So you can either do things that can enhance the number of new clients,
Speaker:or you can do things to enhance the upsells on the
Speaker:there's a higher dollar value per client.
Speaker:Either of those can be expanded and I encourage both to be expanded.
Speaker:So you need both an internal and external marketing system for building the
Speaker:client numbers,
Speaker:but you also need to be able to provide services and up services for
Speaker:continued coaching services because once you have one package,
Speaker:if you don't have an additional package,
Speaker:then they're gone and they're done and it's over with.
Speaker:So you wanna be able to continue to expand and to help the coaching
Speaker:client to go to new levels and continue to grow, so keep offering more value.
Speaker:Now,
Speaker:there is a number of responsible as a coach that is essential.
Speaker:Number one, you need to have specialized knowledge,
Speaker:and obviously you need to target what that is because you're probably not gonna
Speaker:be great at everything, but you can be great at certain things.
Speaker:And you wanna start with what you know.
Speaker:Whenever you're doing your coaching business,
Speaker:you wanna start with what you know and what you're absolutely certain you can
Speaker:deliver. Many times people find out what people are, you know,
Speaker:needing out there and they just kind of put that on their shingle and say, okay,
Speaker:well, I can do that, but it's wise to start with what you know,
Speaker:what you're absolutely certain you can deliver and where you
Speaker:feel confident, you can look 'em straight in the eye and 'I can deliver that.'
Speaker:So here's what I ask people to do, write down,
Speaker:start with what you know and let what you know grow.
Speaker:And target your knowledge on the topic that you really wanna master,
Speaker:you wanna run skill on. There is generic coaching,
Speaker:but there's also targeted coaching and you may,
Speaker:if you have a love for a targeted coaching focus then great,
Speaker:but you wanna become the greatest in the knowledge in the field in that
Speaker:particular area of what you want to do.
Speaker:Mine was in personal development and human behavior,
Speaker:so I've been devouring that for 49 years. But
Speaker:you wanna make sure that you target that area and become more knowledgeable
Speaker:about that area than anybody else, and more aware,
Speaker:or you have access to resources and sub coaches that have those specialties,
Speaker:that you can bring those in as teams to be able to offer that service.
Speaker:But you wanna make sure that you are delivering the highest quality information
Speaker:that you possibly do,
Speaker:something you're certain about and something you really
Speaker:producing results. If you're not certain about the results,
Speaker:then you're gonna have a hard time selling it.
Speaker:You sell most easily the thing you feel certain about and you've delivered and
Speaker:you've got track record and you know you can do it.
Speaker:There's some things that I know absolutely I can deliver on and those things I
Speaker:can deliver without question and other areas that I just tell people,
Speaker:that I'm not certain about, let's go down the alley, let's find out,
Speaker:that's not my area of expertise.
Speaker:And I can either bring in a specialist or I can say,
Speaker:well I'm on a learning curve with this too, let's go work and join on that.
Speaker:You don't wanna mislead them. But at the same time,
Speaker:you wanna make sure you have something that you're specialized in knowledge on.
Speaker:You wanna also define what it is that you have as a client, who is your client?
Speaker:You want a high quality client,
Speaker:you wanna define what it is that you're looking for. You know,
Speaker:is it an entrepreneur, is a certain age, is a certain type of business,
Speaker:is it because you've had a certain type of business, you know that business?
Speaker:My coaching really started in the health field,
Speaker:I started out in the profession that I was in.
Speaker:I did coaching and consulting in that area.
Speaker:And I did about a thousand clinics in the eighties,
Speaker:about thousand offices I consulted and coached on and assisted them in.
Speaker:And then that went into podiatry, it went into dentistry,
Speaker:it went into other fields of healthcare. And then from there,
Speaker:because I knew how to grow a practice.
Speaker:I could take a practice from something from zero to millions of dollars,
Speaker:I knew how to do that, so I could help them do that.
Speaker:And in the process of doing it,
Speaker:expanded into other businesses because there was a lot of overlap.
Speaker:So I started in what I knew and let what I knew grow as I did and the variations
Speaker:that went along with it. But I basically knew I, I had that information.
Speaker:I knew from my own track record, in my own experience,
Speaker:I knew I could deliver on that. So start with what you know,
Speaker:let what you know grow,
Speaker:continuously educate yourself on the topic that you're actually gonna do,
Speaker:make sure you're a master of that.
Speaker:And whatever you do put together a package and pay close attention to the needs
Speaker:of the audience.
Speaker:Some people go out there and look at what's being sold out there and look at
Speaker:key, you know language that seems to hook people and that that's fine,
Speaker:but the reality is you wanna make sure that you are delivering what people need.
Speaker:Otherwise, people aren't gonna do it. If there's no demand for your supply,
Speaker:you're gonna be working uphill and you're gonna be trying to sell something that
Speaker:people aren't interested in. Don't make presumptions about what people need.
Speaker:Find out what they need.
Speaker:And the way you know that you're hitting what they need is because there's now
Speaker:demand, they're wanting your services,
Speaker:which will drive your prices up and drive your services up.
Speaker:But you wanna make sure that you're basically hitting those needs and the only
Speaker:way you know it is by, there's a demand. There's no demand,
Speaker:you're not meeting people's needs.
Speaker:The way you're articulating the language online,
Speaker:or the language when you're meeting people, is not meeting what their,
Speaker:they're not biting.
Speaker:They only bite when they see something that's meeting their values.
Speaker:Every human being has a set of priorities.
Speaker:Every client you'll ever have has a set of priorities and they have a set of
Speaker:values that they're wanting to fulfill, and if you don't know what they are,
Speaker:you know on my website, there's a Demartini Value Determination process.
Speaker:If you haven't gone through that and learned those questions
Speaker:and possibly even come and learn that skill at a training or whatever,
Speaker:you may wanna find that,
Speaker:cuz I know a lot of coaches when they incorporate that into their game,
Speaker:it definitely upgrades their outcome.
Speaker:They grow more clients because they're now knowing how to determine what the
Speaker:people are actually looking for,
Speaker:and then you can provide the services accordingly.
Speaker:But you first need to go and find out, you know, when you're selling you,
Speaker:you going to meet and greet people, then you gotta gain some rapport with 'em,
Speaker:then you establish some needs, you need to confirm those needs,
Speaker:you need to then offer a solution that matches that need, not presuming,
Speaker:but matches that need. Then you need to handle the obstacles,
Speaker:which are usually inversely proportionate to how well you meet that need.
Speaker:And then you end up closing the deal and then providing the services and
Speaker:simulating referrals.
Speaker:So you wanna make sure that you have your website that has the information on
Speaker:there that is presenting and greeting them,
Speaker:making sure you're asking question to establish, cuz to sell is not to tell,
Speaker:it's to ask questions.
Speaker:Almost every day I get people trying to offer me services online and tell me
Speaker:what I need. I just delete 'em.
Speaker:Unless you're asking questions and establishing a need, you're wasting time.
Speaker:Don't ever try to offer a service until you establish a need.
Speaker:Don't try to offer service that you don't know you're skilled at just to get a
Speaker:client,
Speaker:cuz then your brand will be affected when it's something you're not masterful at
Speaker:and you're not gonna actually deliver on. So don't don't be desperate,
Speaker:be targeted. And then put together an amazing package that's irresistible,
Speaker:a package that somebody is definitely gonna want.
Speaker:And maybe you have to start out at a rare fair fee and then work your way up and
Speaker:grow your brand. You know,
Speaker:I've many times delivered on a little deliverable on something and on
Speaker:a plane I've been on a plane,
Speaker:somebody flying with somebody and I start talking to 'em and I start helping 'em
Speaker:on something and establish some needs and establish some things and help them
Speaker:right on the spot, I didn't, don't even charge 'em for it,
Speaker:just help them and show that I'm caring and working with them.
Speaker:And then when they turn around and ask, well,
Speaker:do you have a card or do you have information,
Speaker:and then I can tell 'em about a service,
Speaker:but I usually kind of wet their appetite and give 'em some wow factor that's
Speaker:mind blowing to them and then they go, wow, I could use more of this.
Speaker:And then they're interested,
Speaker:but don't ever try to close a deal until you've established a need and confirmed
Speaker:a need and made sure that you have something that
Speaker:that's important.
Speaker:But making sure that you actually target that and qualify the client.
Speaker:I had qualifiers, you know, before I can accept you as a client,
Speaker:there are certain qualities and certain criteria that successful clients meet.
Speaker:And write out the criteria. You know,
Speaker:they need to make sure that they're they're on schedule when they come in and
Speaker:you do your meetings,
Speaker:make sure that they're paying and keeping current with the financial
Speaker:responsibilities,
Speaker:making sure that they're applying the principles or not doing it or otherwise we
Speaker:won't continue.
Speaker:You need to qualify the client so you're not sitting babysitting people and
Speaker:pushing people uphill. That's why, again,
Speaker:you wanna make sure you know the value system,
Speaker:because the only thing you can expect your clients to do is gonna be what they
Speaker:value most, what fulfills their values most.
Speaker:If you don't know what their value structure is, you're
Speaker:That's why I train people and coaches on that process because that's a crucial
Speaker:component cuz in the area of your highest values, you excel,
Speaker:in the areas in your lower values, you don't,
Speaker:and many people don't know what their values structure is,
Speaker:the hierarchy of values that they live by.
Speaker:And that's what determines their perception, decisions, and actions.
Speaker:And then as a result of it,
Speaker:they're trying to get 'em to do something that's low on their values and they
Speaker:procrastinate, hesitate and frustrate, they're not acting on it.
Speaker:And then you're frustrated because you're not getting the results with them.
Speaker:And they're frustrated cuz they had a fantasy that they were wanting to get a
Speaker:result that was outside what they valued.
Speaker:That's a component that's really crucial if you wanna get results.
Speaker:Another thing you wanna make sure you're doing is when you're qualifying a
Speaker:client you have some sort of metrics and some sort of KPIs that you're following
Speaker:on them in addition to following on yourself,
Speaker:in addition for them following on themselves. You know,
Speaker:what exactly are you measuring?
Speaker:You wanna make sure you have measurables in there and accountables so you can
Speaker:actually measure things. You want objective data and
Speaker:Sometimes they'll tweak what they're saying to match so they don't get
Speaker:scolded or whatever,
Speaker:but let's get some objective data so you can measure things by it. You know,
Speaker:when I was working with clients,
Speaker:we used to have a number of new clients and the number of visits and the number,
Speaker:the dollars per visit and we had a bunch of KPIs on there,
Speaker:the overall case visit average, the collections ratio,
Speaker:I mean everything in their business,
Speaker:you need to be able to have those monitoring metrics to be able to know what
Speaker:you're doing with the business and you or somebody that's working underneath you
Speaker:is monitoring those metrics and keeping current with it.
Speaker:Because otherwise you don't know what you're really accomplishing other than
Speaker:they might tell you something,
Speaker:and then they might all of a sudden drop out if they're not really being honest.
Speaker:So make sure you have a metric, make sure you care.
Speaker:They're not interested in working with you unless you are really interested in
Speaker:getting a result for them. And you need to have that as your mission.
Speaker:And you wanna be clear on your mission. What exactly is your mission?
Speaker:Who are you wanting to serve and what is the outcome you want and what is really
Speaker:deeply meaningful? And don't put something just for fun,
Speaker:put something that's truly inspiring. You know,
Speaker:I've been involved in personal development and human behavior for 49 years in
Speaker:teaching, you know, I have a track record. I don't,
Speaker:this is not something I just do for a weekend here and there, I mean,
Speaker:I do it every day, seven days a week. Target what it is you work on.
Speaker:So you can't wait to go and serve them. When you do that enthusiasm,
Speaker:that inspiration,
Speaker:that gratitude for getting a result and that love for doing it,
Speaker:and the certainty because you know something about it and the presence when
Speaker:you're really doing something you're engaged in,
Speaker:is definitely gonna be a marketing mechanism. You know,
Speaker:Peter Lynch in his One Up on Wall Street many years ago said that, you know,
Speaker:when he's is deciding to buy stock in his
Speaker:you know, investments he's looking for,
Speaker:he goes to the actual company after he does his technical and quantitative
Speaker:analysis,
Speaker:he goes to the company and actually looks for people in the company and looks
Speaker:and see if they're grateful for their job, loving what they're doing,
Speaker:inspired by the vision, enthusiastically working,
Speaker:certain in their skills and present with their clients. If they do,
Speaker:that company's going up.
Speaker:And so you wanna make sure you're doing that cuz if you want your company to go
Speaker:up, you're gonna exemplify that.
Speaker:Another thing is to make sure that you save a portion of whatever your profits
Speaker:are. You know, I learned a long time ago when I was 27, I'm 67 now,
Speaker:40 years ago that take a portion of whatever you make and make sure you put it
Speaker:into savings until you have a cushion and then put it into investments.
Speaker:If you're not saving and investing on every client,
Speaker:you're gonna stop your growth, I promise you. Until you invest in you,
Speaker:don't expect others to. Until you value you, don't expect others to.
Speaker:Until you invest and put money away where you get passive income coming in and
Speaker:have a cushions for stability, don't expect a consistent stable business.
Speaker:You wanna make sure that you do it. I started out at a little $200 a month,
Speaker:$300 a month, $500 a month, 750 a month, a thousand a month, 1,100.
Speaker:I kept increasing at 10%.
Speaker:And my margins kept getting more profound ever every time I did it.
Speaker:When you manage money wisely,
Speaker:you receive more business and more money to manage.
Speaker:So you wanna make sure you're saving and investing no matter what,
Speaker:don't wait until you see well, when I get some extra, then I'll save. No, no,
Speaker:no, no. You save and invest upfront.
Speaker:Because entropy is going to take away your potential profits and unexpected
Speaker:bills are gonna come in if you don't automatically pay yourself first.
Speaker:The wealthy have always known that.
Speaker:There's basically a law that if you don't fill your day with high priority
Speaker:actions that inspire you,
Speaker:your day's gonna fill up with low priority distractions that don't.
Speaker:If you don't put your money into asset accumulation,
Speaker:it's gonna end up with depreciable consumables that are unexpected bills.
Speaker:And once I learned that and I forced my say savings and kept increasing it,
Speaker:automating it, no emotion just automated electronically,
Speaker:my business just started growing.
Speaker:It started growing locally and then eventually globally.
Speaker:And now I'm financially independent because I did that.
Speaker:And the more wealth you have, the more people wanna do business with you.
Speaker:Believe it or not, nobility and power and influence and wealth,
Speaker:those are all things that magnetize and draw people to you.
Speaker:So if you're struggling, don't expect but struggling clients.
Speaker:But if you're valuable and you've empowered yourself,
Speaker:then you end up with more powerful clients. You know,
Speaker:I always say that if you have a thousand dollars saved you get thousandaires,
Speaker:you get a million dollar saved, you get millionaire clients,
Speaker:If you get a 10 million, a decamillion, you got $10 million clients,
Speaker:you got a hundred million, you get a centimillion dollar clients.
Speaker:You're going to resonate and draw in people that you've mastered. You know,
Speaker:you also aren't gonna grow a business on a global level,
Speaker:unless you have an astronomical vision.
Speaker:I've said for years that if you want to be number one in your community,
Speaker:you need to have a big vision as big as your city.
Speaker:If you wanna be number one in the city,
Speaker:you need a vision as big as your state province.
Speaker:If you wanna be number one in the state,
Speaker:you need a vision as big as your nation. You wanna be number one in the nation,
Speaker:you need a vision as big as your world.
Speaker:And if you wanna be number one in the world,
Speaker:you need to have an astronomical vision. What is your vision?
Speaker:How do you see your clients?
Speaker:If you were to ask yourself if all of a sudden my clients were to double,
Speaker:would I be able to handle it? What's my weak link,
Speaker:where's my block in the growth process? And be prepared for it.
Speaker:People that are really great coaches are basically people foresighting and
Speaker:they're thinking advance and not just reacting and hindsight,
Speaker:they're foresighting. If all of a sudden I doubled my business,
Speaker:where would I break down,
Speaker:where would my bottle necks be and how do I solve them in advance and making
Speaker:sure that you're delegating things. You know,
Speaker:if you're doing a one-on-one client, you're probably gonna,
Speaker:if you don't have any staff members or anybody that you're delegating things,
Speaker:you're probably gonna be trapped doing things,
Speaker:and you're gonna be scheduling and you're gonna be doing administrative work.
Speaker:Frankly, I, I stopped that when I was 27, I gave that up 27, 28.
Speaker:You know, you wanna make sure that you do what you do best,
Speaker:which is doing the deals and doing the service and delegate the rest away.
Speaker:You're not gonna grow your business unless you delegate.
Speaker:And don't do desperate things. Anytime you do lower priority things,
Speaker:you're gonna have clients that're gonna do the same thing and they're not gonna
Speaker:get results, cuz you're not gonna get results.
Speaker:Make sure you prioritize what you do, you know,
Speaker:go through and make a list of everything you do.
Speaker:Look at how much it produces per hour and prioritize it.
Speaker:Make sure you look at how much meaning it has.
Speaker:Make sure it's doing something that's inspiring to you that produces the most on
Speaker:the services. Make sure you then find out what it costs to delegate it.
Speaker:Look at the spreads on what it produces versus what it costs and hire people to
Speaker:do the lower priority things so you're not doing, you know,
Speaker:the trivial administrative things. It's important for the business,
Speaker:but not for you.
Speaker:You have an area of expertise that can charge thousands of dollars per hour,
Speaker:possibly, or hundreds at least, and so in the process of doing that,
Speaker:you don't wanna be doing something that's a $50 an hour job,
Speaker:or you're gonna be devaluing yourself. And once you do, they do.
Speaker:They're not gonna value you if you don't value. And so that starts with you,
Speaker:when you know how to manage your own time and manage your own business
Speaker:effectively,
Speaker:you're gonna be able to draw more people to you cuz they're gonna see that
Speaker:result. Also when you meet people, you know,
Speaker:you want to ask 'em questions and establish needs,
Speaker:as I've said and interact with them. You know,
Speaker:I'm a firm believer that wherever I go and whoever I meet and greet,
Speaker:the more I treat as I say.
Speaker:And so you wanna expose yourself and the greatest way to leverage yourself is
Speaker:speaking. Without a doubt,
Speaker:my life is where it is because I learned how to be a public speaker.
Speaker:If you're not taking advantage of public speaking,
Speaker:I think you're gonna make it harder on yourself to grow your business.
Speaker:So if you're not used to being on YouTube and doing, you know,
Speaker:the social media games and doing podcasts and doing messages and exposing
Speaker:yourself to thousands, if not millions of people,
Speaker:then you're probably gonna limit the outreach.
Speaker:And it's nothing wrong with growing organically, that's fantastic,
Speaker:the best clients are still referrals. But you might as well expose yourself.
Speaker:I go on podcasts every day. I go on on keynote speeches.
Speaker:I expose myself to literally millions of people every year,
Speaker:millions of people every year, we've done nearly 200 million this year.
Speaker:So if you look out and go reach out,
Speaker:reach to thousands of people and you have a website that's got some traction and
Speaker:it's got something of value on people,
Speaker:then you're gonna have people calling in and communicating and trying to get
Speaker:information. But if you're not exposing yourself,
Speaker:then you've got a linear growth instead of an exponential growth.
Speaker:And you wanna take advantage of that. If you have a book published,
Speaker:that helps also cuz then now you're perceived a little
Speaker:expert. I've had many books on my thing. I'm in the process of doing 10 more.
Speaker:In the process of doing that, that helps target, it helps marketing.
Speaker:I don't make big money on those books. That's not where my focus is,
Speaker:but it's good marketing areas on it. I sell thousands of books around the world.
Speaker:I think we're in 39 languages, but at the same time that also helps.
Speaker:And I put out articles,
Speaker:I've written for 1500 plus magazines around the world and newspapers.
Speaker:So constantly getting out there and exposing messages out there to get your
Speaker:brand recognition out there is part of the game. And I don't know, you know,
Speaker:there's no shortcuts on that as far as I know, you're not gonna do it,
Speaker:I've seen people go out and grow their business from clubhouse and social
Speaker:medias, but it's delivering it. It's all boiled down to delivery.
Speaker:If you're not actually making the delivery on the products, services and ideas,
Speaker:then you know, you're not going to keep clients.
Speaker:And also you wanna make sure you have at least three upsells.
Speaker:That's been my observation. Whatever package you offer them,
Speaker:have a more advanced package and have another more advanced package so that you
Speaker:keep delivering more value to them, and make sure it's real value.
Speaker:Make sure you have something. You know,
Speaker:I know a friend that did coaching business and he brought in other expertise and
Speaker:they kept coming,
Speaker:the clients kept coming through him cuz he kept bringing in other expertise and
Speaker:he wasn't afraid of having another expertise because
Speaker:he grew thousands of clients that way and had big conferences periodically from
Speaker:coaching,
Speaker:because he kept bringing in extra special consulting services and
Speaker:then had discussions.
Speaker:So he'd bring in a specialist and then they'd have a discussion and he knew the
Speaker:information and they knew the information and they all just kept growing
Speaker:together.
Speaker:If you're not growing and adding to your knowledge base on a daily basis and
Speaker:researching and studying and learning and growing,
Speaker:you're probably not gonna keep current and fresh and you're not gonna be
Speaker:enthused. I found many,
Speaker:many years ago that if I'm constantly researching and filling gaps in the giant
Speaker:cosmic puzzle of life and have something that's new and inspiring to deliver,
Speaker:I can't wait to deliver it, people can't wait to get it.
Speaker:So I'm constantly putting that energy in there.
Speaker:And also you want to ask yourself,
Speaker:what is the highest priority action I can do today that can serve my clients the
Speaker:most? What is the number one thing that they need,
Speaker:and where do I get the knowledge to go and deliver that and make sure I get you
Speaker:know, expertise that's solid. Don't give fluffy stuff,
Speaker:give something that stands the test of time. I like studying the classics.
Speaker:I don't wanna be a fad. I don't wanna be just a temporary trend.
Speaker:I wanna be a classic, something.
Speaker:So I stand on the shoulders of the greatest people,
Speaker:greatest in the field and devour their literature and study the things and go
Speaker:attend classes and go and make sure I'm getting feedback and metrics.
Speaker:I wanna make sure I've got knowledge that when I say it, I'm certain about it.
Speaker:I know that I can deliver on that. If you do that,
Speaker:you're likely to grow the business.
Speaker:So in a summary here I'm gonna say that you want to target the clients that you
Speaker:know you can deliver most, start with what you, what you know, let it grow.
Speaker:Make sure you gain specialized knowledge in it,
Speaker:make sure you know what your mission is and what you're real committed to,
Speaker:what you're really commit to, not what you just think it is,
Speaker:but what is your life demonstrate you're really committed to, target that.
Speaker:Something that you're working on in yourself is usually the common thing that
Speaker:you wanna specialize on, that's part of the game.
Speaker:Make sure that you're saving and investing a portion of it,
Speaker:the more cushion you have in your business, the more stable it will be.
Speaker:And the more you're increasing your savings and investments,
Speaker:the more business you're gonna get, I guarantee it.
Speaker:If I could come into your business and force you to do that and structure it for
Speaker:you, I guarantee you, I could grow your business very rapidly. I've done this,
Speaker:I've done it for thousands of people and I'm absolutely certain it will work for
Speaker:you. So make sure you're saving and investing a portion of your business.
Speaker:And make sure also, if you haven't learned about the Demartini Method,
Speaker:the method I have on how to resolve emotional baggage
Speaker:stopping people from, you know,
Speaker:distractions are things they get infatuated with or resent,
Speaker:that they get emotional about, cuz until they can manage emotions,
Speaker:they're not gonna go and excel in their business and coaching business.
Speaker:Make sure you go and do the Value Determination process on my website,
Speaker:it's free, it's complimentary, it'll be a tool that will be very helpful,
Speaker:because people are only gonna live according to their values, not yours.
Speaker:And don't project onto them assumptions.
Speaker:And don't make assumptions about what they need. Find out, get metrics,
Speaker:follow through on the metrics and care enough about 'em. You know,
Speaker:if your inner most dominant thought is to go out and help them grow their life
Speaker:and their business and do and help them master their life.
Speaker:That's been my dream since I was 17 years old,
Speaker:to help people do something extraordinary with their life and master their life.
Speaker:Whatever that area of coaching is, makes sure it's legit from you,
Speaker:make sure it's your heart, it's soul.
Speaker:If it doesn't bring you tears of inspiration doing
Speaker:you're not documenting the feedback you get,
Speaker:every time you get a thank you from a client, document it.
Speaker:Put it into categories so you have a list of all the different testimonials and
Speaker:documents that you have. Some of the most inspiring thing.
Speaker:I have a daily gratitude journal that I have all the thank you's on and all the
Speaker:clients that come in every single day and those inspire me and those are stories
Speaker:I can use and that's information I can pass on and it's anecdotes that you can
Speaker:help other clients with.
Speaker:So keep records of all the results you get with people and just keep growing
Speaker:that base. So that way you're being fueled by the contribution, you know,
Speaker:when we may make a difference in people's lives,
Speaker:that's the thing that makes us most inspired to get up and wanna go do more of
Speaker:it. And that's something that when you're enthused about doing it,
Speaker:then people they come around to watch you burn when you're enthused.
Speaker:I found a long time ago when I'm in really inspired and my innermost dominant
Speaker:thought is my clients,
Speaker:the innermost dominant thought for them is getting my service.
Speaker:So make sure you do it , write down all the names of the people you wanna serve.
Speaker:I found that if you're outta sight outta mind.
Speaker:I remember going to a doctor's office one time and I said to him,
Speaker:I want you to list all the client names you have and start doing it and the
Speaker:second you have a one second pause or two second pause between the client's
Speaker:names, we'll stop.
Speaker:And they started rattling off the names and they got to 68 names. And I said,
Speaker:all right, that's, you're running out of names now all of a sudden,
Speaker:and then we looked and we found out that his practice capacity,
Speaker:his business capacity was exactly 68.
Speaker:That's what he was averaging in his client base per day.
Speaker:And it was really interesting, cuz if they're not in your mind,
Speaker:they're not in your life.
Speaker:So you keep a record of those people and keep monitoring and see what they're
Speaker:doing and look and monitor the progress and keep a master sheet on the thing and
Speaker:make sure you're doing that. And then stimulate referrals,
Speaker:have a goal to be able to have for every client you have that you generate five
Speaker:or 10 new clients out of it. Make that as a goal.
Speaker:I used to have what I call the enchanted forest in my office. We had,
Speaker:for every patient we had, we had a name for them.
Speaker:And then we had a place for them to write 1, which I call grass people,
Speaker:a few, three to five, which was herb people,
Speaker:up to 10 was bush people and anything over 10 was forest people.
Speaker:And we kept records of all the referrals that did and we used to ask 'em, says,
Speaker:have we done something that's not fulfilling to you
Speaker:only referred one person here, and most of our clients refer about eight.
Speaker:And ask what are we doing that's not fulfilling your things.
Speaker:And then make sure you fill in that need and make sure you do it so they have an
Speaker:inspiration to do it. And then they know that they're expected to refer.
Speaker:And because people that really are inspired,
Speaker:that's a sign that they're wanting to refer people,
Speaker:they're inspired by the results. And if you're not getting the results,
Speaker:then you're not gonna get referrals so, make it a point that that's the,
Speaker:your inner most dominant thoughts gotta be about the results of their life.
Speaker:When they can see that you're about making a difference in their life,
Speaker:they're gonna wanna refer because they have people,
Speaker:they wanna look good in front of people. So look the part, dress the part,
Speaker:be the part and go the extra mile. You know, it's the sizzle, as they say,
Speaker:and it's the person that goes the extra, the effort.
Speaker:Be willing to do whatever it takes, travel whatever distance, you know,
Speaker:deliver whatever it takes to get the results and watch what happens.
Speaker:And I know that that will help on the coaching business.
Speaker:I just hit a few highlights of things that I've found in my own business,
Speaker:but yeah,
Speaker:value yourself because if you do they'll value you and make sure you do what you
Speaker:can to make a difference in their life
Speaker:then it's really specific and find out what their real needs are,
Speaker:not what you assume their needs are.
