Did you know that your thoughts literally make or break
your ability to attract local or global clients in large
numbers? The frustrating thing is that many independent
consultants and self-employed people are clutched by an
unseen enemy, which is their thoughts, and their confusion
is endless because they are not sure what has happened or
what is happening. Their world seems to be turning upside
down, because their thoughts are focused on lack and
limitation.
You need to have serious confidence and authority about
what you offer. If you are intimidated by clients, then a
prospect is simply not going to have confidence that
working with you is the answer to their problems. They'll
ignore, mock, or even question whether you're really good
at what you do and then decide they'll keep looking. When
that happens it often leads to your anger or resentment -
sometimes both. This negative energy is then quite
frequently misdirected, possibly at your clients and loved
ones, which then causes an entirely new set of problems.
Here's what I've discovered in virtually every country of
the world you can find individuals, thousands of them,
walking the streets with degrees in their hands...degrees
from prestigious universities. They cannot find work or
clients. Why? These individuals view the conditions and
circumstances that surround them as very frightening. In
the past, individuals were recognized and rewarded for what
they knew and who they knew. Corporations waited on the
sidelines dangling monetary rewards attempting to attract
the graduates from the big name universities of the world.
The rules have changed; you are now rewarded for how you
are known.
So, how are you known by your clients? Are you known as
confident? Are you known as being open to working with
other cultures? Our clients are continually preparing
themselves to adapt to changes. Rather than reacting they
are responding to these changes and they are responding in
an appropriate manner. They are becoming leaders, and they
are learning that:
1.Local prospects want to work with people who are certain
about their abilities.
2.Ethnic prospects want to work and learn from an authority
on a subject.
3.Global prospects are looking for someone confident about
the results they offer.
4.All prospects are silently begging to be led!
From this moment forward, you cannot afford to be timid
about what you offer. You've got to have total confidence
about what you do. Not only that, you've got to express
that confidence in a way that makes the prospect feel
confident about your abilities.
Your job is not to sell. Your job is to create high-trust
and low-tension relationships that will help prospects with
deep pockets get out of their own way to achieving whatever
it is that they want and could use your help with. The way
you do that is by showing authority on your product or
service, and expressing your capability about the results
they'll get with you. And it's all in your way of thinking.
So, be yourself, be a leader, and start speaking with
authority from this moment forward. Realize the world has
changed. We live in the new era. This is a spiritual world
governed by exact laws. Everyone who studies these laws and
incorporates them into every aspect of their life will be
richly rewarded. It doesn't take much, and yet I guarantee
you'll start attracting more clients than you are now. It
works!
