Celebrating my private coaching client Teri and her 3 new clients!Ā Ā
I have SO much respect for Teri because she was open to seeing things from a fresh perspective.
In our first conversation, Teri admitted she needed clients for her new consulting practice. Still she was worried about spending the money to work together.Ā Ā
You see, being a bold entrepreneur scared the crapola out of Teri. But instead of doing nothing and staying scared, she jumped in anyway.Ā Ā
And within a few weeks of getting clarity around her message and online presence, Teri āØlanded 3 new clientsāØ for her consulting business!!Ā
How did the shift happen?
Teri moved from limiting beliefs to bold when I said: Trust yourself. The Universe respects bold.Ā
I KNOW this is true because I experience it as well. It can be scary to make sizable investments in ourselves and our businesses.Ā Ā
A few months ago, I was a wreck. I was deciding whether to invest $30k in a year-long Mastermind group. Yes, you read that right...
I am LOVING my amazing client who brought in more money in Q4 of 2021 than all 3 previous quarters combined!Ā
Yep, John Woods beat a big competitor in the employee health benefits field.
The contract was worth $61,000.
Ā Here's the kicker: John had his best yearāduring the Pandemic! (Most of my other clients have as well šš)
Ā How did this banner year happen when John's marketing was inconsistent and paid ads didn't convert?Ā Ā
Ā John says the results **finally** showed upā¦WHEN HE SHOWED UP, for himself. He made a commitment to private coaching with me.Ā
Ā And I immediately nailed John's real issue.
Ā It had ZILCH to do with marketing.Ā
Ā John had to clear out the blocks around his internal story and self-worth.
Ā John had never heard this from other coaches or consultants.Ā
He had to love his story --and himself--so decision-makers could appreciate his value and approach--and hire him.Ā
Ā š¢ Bottom line: If you don't love your story and believe in yourself, no one else will.
Ā Like ...
Thereās 1 thing I despise about people in public relations and the online marketing space.Ā
You know, the cutesy 30-somethings who brag about pulling in 7 figures while bopping around in Barcelona.Ā
They can land you bigtime interviews with Oprah, Dr. Phil, and Grant Cardone.
But thereās a catch.
They deliver sound bites and temporary confidence for your 15 minutes of fame.Ā
Temporary doesnāt cut it for experienced, savvy entrepreneurs. š
Look, I started my business as a media relations and PR company in 2000.
I spoon-fed clients pithy soundbites so they'd feel confident and credible during interviews.Ā
ā¶ā¶And hereās what I know 1,000% that you may not realize.Ā
Media attention rarely brings lasting success or self-assuredness.
It doesn't have staying power because it's external.Ā
When entreprene...
I talk A LOT about how to introduce yourself so you are seen and heard --and grow your business.Ā Ā
I am obsessed with my work not because people walk away with a concise introduction.Ā
Something is hiding deep beneath the words. And it has become my mission.Ā Ā
Itās the real reason I do what I do. It has taken me a lifetimeā59 years and torrents of tearsāto understand my fixation on other people's stories.
It began when I was four years old. I didn't speak.
My parents thought I was deaf, but the doctor told them I was fine.
He said I didn't talk because I communicated in a way that didn't require words. When I was hungry, Iād bang on the refrigerator.
No words or voice were necessary.Ā Ā
So, what does a little girl who did not speak until age 4 do with her life?Ā
I went to college and majored in mass communications.š Go figure.Ā
I quickly found the campus radio station, a place filled with microphones and speakers that amplify voices.Ā
After graduation, I started my career as ...
I want to get in front of people who can hire me; I want to grow my business!Ā
Thatās what Iāve been hearing these past few weeks on social media and from my own client calls.Ā
Look, social media gives each of us access to the masses.
So, itās not hard to get in front of peopleāeven the right people who are your dream clients.Ā
Still, thereās a challenge that most entrepreneurs and coaches donāt recognize.
š¤Itās this: What do youĀ SAYĀ when you get in front of your peeps? š¤
If youāre like most of my clients, when we first start working together, they say the same thing.
šYouāre not aloneā¦
Listen closely.
You can practically hear the clock ticking.ā²
As New Yearās Eve approaches, the world is keenly aware of hours, minutes, and seconds.
Look, I love a party, but making resolutions irks me, and here's why.
Have you resolved to quit binge-watching Netflix and volunteer as a mentor in your community? Or finally launch your podcast? Or worseā¦join the gym? (gassssp!)
Let's get real.
You donāt need a split second on Dec. 31st when the ball drops in Times Square to get on track. You have the power right now to do better.
It's not a resolution; it's a decision.š§Ø
You can simply DECIDEālike I have done for many yearsāto stop waiting for the countdown, champagne, and party hats.šš It's called stalling and giving away your power.
I used to put soooo much pressure on myself at the end of each year an...
I am busting at the seams with excitement and pride.
I am now the CEO of my 21-year-old communications company.
On Monday, I woke up as the founder of Get in Front Communications.
By 11 AM, I stopped everything and decided to give myself a long-overdue promotion to CEO.
It took years of me doing the same freakinā thingā¦over and overā¦and expecting different results. (I knowā¦itās called madness.)
And as the hamster wheel began spinning on Monday, I made a decision. I DECIDED that this is not how a successful CEO operates day-to-day.
Iām getting real here so hold onto your hats.
And please, no judgment. āWe teach what we need to learn,ā said Jane Fonda.
You see, Iāve spent the past few months searching for the ārightā Virtual Assistant.
That's fine, but not at the same time as a launch and new group program.
Again.
Itās a pattern I have flat out refus...
Celebrating my INCREDIBLE clientĀ John WoodsĀ who is adding $250,000 in new business over the next 12 months (a 400% ROI) during the Pandemic while using my Story Funnel System!
And thatās only for part of his business!
John and I met when I was the keynote speaker at a Mastermind coaching program he was in.
Even though my presentation was online, John and I were able to connect quickly.
Yes, he was already enrolled in a high-level and high-priced business coaching program.
Still, something was missing around his message and mindset that kept him from reaching his true potential as an entrepreneur.
When the virus hit 18 months ago, John knew it was finally time to clean up his messaging and communication so he could speak confidently with corporate CFOs and close more clients.
John signed up for private...
In elementary school, most of the girls I knew were told they ātalk too much in class.ā
Both of my sisters got those lovely comments on their report cards from time to time.
Not me.
I was a roamer.
I didnāt talk all that much; I wanted out. Out of whatever classroom I was in.
Why?
I have insatiable curiosity.
I saw myself as ālifeās little observer.ā
Ā I always sensed that something interesting was happeningā¦somewhere else.
And I was hell-bent on finding out where it was, who was involved, how things were playing out, and even why.
My modus operandi was simple. Ask for a bathroom pass or volunteer to deliver something to the library, office, or anywhere.
And get the hell out.
I felt like Maya Angelouās ācaged birdā trapped in Mrs. Rosenthalās 3rd-grade classroom.
Of course, the tall people in charge at Woodbrook Elementary School āand my parentsāwerenāt keen on this roaming thing. (Wasn't I a cutey!!?? 5th grade at Woodbrook)Ā
They didnāt see my exploring as a way of learn...
My coaching client, attorney and DEI advocate Diana Patton, beautifully used the ābridge and guideā technique I teach for messaging and introductions.
She seized the opportunity to self-promote during a recent morning TV interview.
