“To Get the Gold Go Bold”
By Ileana Kane

I’ve been reflecting on the hundreds of clients I’ve
personally  helped in growing their business and
accelerating their cash flow. Each client had
such impactful changes in their business and 
there was one thing the most successful client
did that made a big difference.  
   

This one thing is within all of us if we will give
way to our natural brilliance.  Each of these clients
put their stake in the ground to take a BOLD pathway.

Let me give you three tips to taking a BOLD pathway:

Tip 1: Make a bold money goal.   
You want to choose a short time frame such as 30-90 days so you
can stretch your thinking.  Pick a ‘just right amount’ for you. I found
somewhere between 30-50% more than what you are currently
bringing in works well for most.  I’ve actually tripled my business
by using this simple action.  

Tip 2: Make a bold claim.
Your bold claim challenges you to step up while you stand out with
your programs.  This is not something your money is riding on it’s 
something your integrity is riding on.  Your bold claim states the results
you deliver for your clients.  One of my clients, a coach,  who works
with women in transition from divorce state: “You will have a plan that 
you can cheerfully and confidently follow that brings harmony back into 
your life in 90 days or less.“ 

In my new program Charging What You’re Worth and Getting the Fees 
You Deserve: “By the time you complete each of the 7 steps you will 
know what to do so you can charge 20%-50% more than you do right 
now.“  

A bold claim will call forth the best in you and will sweep your client up
in your passion for what you do. 

Tip 3: Take bold action. 
Be open to new approaches for achieving your goal.
The power of  a bold money goal coupled with taking bold action isn’t
to bring home the bucks.  This is to help you take the leap forward to
expand what’s possible for you and your business.  So, look at doing
something in a new way, a whole new approach and a bigger way. 

The power of bold action is for you to step out of the ordinary into the
extraordinary and making ‘what if’ into ‘what is.’  And the rewards?
Your business continues to grow in an authentic and organic way.

If you desire to get more clients and make more sales (and break into your 6-figures) and you’re frustrated and struggling, you might be challenged with fear and self-sabotage that keeps you from propelling yourself into the success you crave.

The good new is once you become aware of the top 3 self sabotaging mistakes, you can make the changes you need to eliminate them and quickly turn your situation around.  Once you take the steps to improve this area, you’ll be amazed at how quickly other areas of your business and your life will transform.

Let me give you three steps to make the ‘turn around.’

Over the years, I’ve coached and helped thousands of people make changes in their business and the biggest thing you can do right now is stop telling yourself selling is hard, getting clients is hard and making money is hard.

The problem is, once you tell yourself ‘it’s hard’, then you turn around and find the evidence that feeds what you’ve told yourself is true.

The golden key to open up to more possibility is to have the willingness to have it be easy.  Once you can be open to possibility, you’ll be able to find the right resources to help advance your passion and achieve your dream.

Step # 2  Make Peace With Your Past

Trying to create from a place of not being at peace with your past only creates more of what you already have. If you take the steps to forgive yourself and others, you’ll clean up your inner world and be able to create the outer world that is fulfilling and feeds you. Now you’re at a place where you can let go of all the old beliefs around money that keep you stuck.

Step # 3  Set A New Stage

Look at what you’re saying yes to.  Take a moment and look at your money goal at the end of the year.  Make decisions from that new place. Only say yes to those clients and opportunities that will match your level of energy and are in alignment with your values.

In order to grow you’ve got to let go. By taking these steps you’re clearing the path to quickly leap forward with your income your six and seven figure success.. 

 

It’s really challenging to offer only one way to work with you because it’s an all or nothing proposition to the prospect.  Prospects want to be able to choose what program(s) fit their needs.  I had Jo Ann offer service packages to her clients.  Then we looked at creating a packaged product for prospects and clients. This gave her passive income.  Next, we looked at offering a full day with her for her high end clients. The next thing I’m having her put into place is to get a bigger presence on the internet.

This was a great start for Jo Ann and it gave her a way to enroll prospects in here services more often And a way to have prospects that didn’t have the money right now to still work with her .  Once we put those systems into place Jo Ann’s business turned around fast!
 
Having more than one income stream will get you to your 6 figure income (and beyond). You’ll have more fun, joy and satisfaction in your business.

If you need to know how to make more money through increased sales in your marketing business, this article is for you. More sales is what everyone wants and needs, but getting them takes making a practice of certain things. We will be covering five of the most important ways to achieve your goal of more sales. 

1. You want people to remember you and your business, so be unique. If your site looks like everyone else’s, you will be lost in the crowd. Have something on your site that will stand out and be remembered. An unusual, eye-catching graphic can do this very well. A good example would be a zebra with rainbow colored stripes. Such a zebra is different from all the other zebras, so it will be remembered. 

2. Give value upfront. That’s right. Give to get is one of the best marketing strategies around. But remember, it has to be something that has value. If it lacks value, it can backfire and cost you sales instead of increasing sales. The reason for giving good value first is that it builds trust in your business. People trust businesses that give them something that is useful to them and they are more likely to buy your products as a result. 

3. Network with others to get new leads.  Networking can be one of the best ways of expanding your sales prospects available to you. Of course, you have to network with the right people. It doesn’t do any good to network with large corporations if you’re targeting the small business owners. Find the right group to network with that targets the same or similar market and your sales prospects can be greatly enlarged. Good marketing is often about having the right connections. 

4. One marketing mistake many people make, is going it alone. When you are in business, even if you are not new to it, having the mentorship of someone who is very successful will help make your business more successful, too. So find someone whose success you would like to emulate, and see if you can arrange for that business owner to be your mentor. Some businesses offer a mentoring program. 

5. Establish yourself as an expert in your field. Just because you offer a certain product for sale doesn’t mean people will see you as an expert. You need to show yourself as one. This can be accomplished by posting in forums relevant to your product, creating a blog, submitting articles to directories, sending out a newsletter with relevant information about the field your product is in. You can also form an alliance with others in your field, especially with those who already are known as experts. If you have an opportunity to speak at an event in your field, try to do so. Good public speaking is an excellent way to show your expertise in your field. 

You can make the most of your business using the ideas above. They are time tested and have worked for businesses of every size and type. They will work for you, too. 

Implement them into your marketing strategies and you will see increased sales putting more money in your pocket.
