  • Be Willing To Do What Others Aren’t: Take Action, In Spite Of
    This article is about taking ACTION, in spite of. Sometimes, you just KNOW you need to take action to take your business forward. However, if you’re anything like me, you’ll admit you sometimes procrastinate, tidy up your office, get another cup of coffee, ANYTHING to not get it done.
  • Stop “Moving Your Own Piano” (You’ll Then Attract More Clients While Making More)
    At one point or another in your business, you’ve had the opportunity to move up to the next level of success and it required a certain investment: in hiring someone, in creating systems, in yourself. Problem is, you may have stopped yourself by using the excuse of “not having enough mo.ney”, a nasty case of self–sabotage. It’s a mindset that keeps you playing small and limits your growth. Sinatra didn’t move his own pianos. Are you?

  • Make Your Business a Well-Oiled Machine (and You’ll Have More Clients)
    I believe the key to more clients, more in-come, and more time off, is making your business run like a well-oiled machine. If it’s not, then your business is probably running YOU, as opposed to you running your business. And that means lots of stuff is falling through the cracks, which means lost opportunities, fewer clients and less mo-ney coming in. The solution to making things run smoothly is in this article.
  • Get Past Procrastination and Into Client Attraction: My 5 Steps to Getting Things Done
    Sometimes, procrastination gets the best of us solo-entrepreneurs (you too?). It seems that everything is priority and we tend to put some things on the back burner.

  • You Don't Need to Learn MORE to Get Clients
    For years I've noticed how many of my clients stopped themselves from marketing BIG because they needed to learn more. They'd already gone through the required training, and many were certified, but it was like something strange was in the punch bowl and thwy were all drinking it: the "I'm Not Enough Yet" fruit punch. Ever feel that way? If so don't miss this article.
  • Getting Out There In a Bigger Way Means Overcoming Your Fear of Criticism

  • Make Your Initial Offer Irresistible and You'll Be Fighting Off Clients
    PULLING clients in is not only more FUN than pushing hard, it's MUCH easier. Who wouldn't rather have clients call THEM rather than pounding the pavement? Problem is, very few solo-entrepreneurs actually do anything about PULLING clients in. Most just wait for clients to come to them, with little strategy involved. For me, it's all about the Irresistible F.R.E.E. Offer this article will walk you through how to create one.
  • Focus on the "Low Hanging Fruit"

  • To Attract More Clients, Plug Into Your Purpose

This article will help you stop using WILLPOWER and instead, be pulled by your PURPOSE. Enjoy!
  • Think BIGGER About What's Possible For You and Get Out of Your OWN Way!
    Most entreprenuers have very LOW expectations on what can be made in self-employment: between $50,000 and $150,000 is what they tell me. Using SYSTEMS and LEVERAGE techniques, you can create an income that is FAR beyond what you've ever thought attainable for yourself. But first, you've got to BELIEVE it's possible for yourself. See how, in this article.
  • Does Your Voicemail Get You Clients? Time to Change That!
    If you're serious about attracting clients consistently, I believe you should use every single piece of marketing "real estate" you can. We're talkin' systems that PULL in clients without you having to do much. In this article, I show you that it can even be as "little" as using your outgoing voice mail to get new paying clients.
