Was Dorothy looking for success somewhere over the rainbow? And how about Nemo’s father? Is that what he was doing? Or think about the Avengers.
Were superheros looking for success or something else?
I’m sure you can tell, by the way I framed my questions, they were all looking for something else. And it seems simple to say. But when you start pursuing your dreams, you certainly wanna have success. It’s only natural.
So, you need AND want clients or customers.
Yeah, it really comes down to this. If you’re not selling anything to anybody, you don’t really have a business. Right? An interesting hobby, maybe. But not a business. Because businesses stay businesses by selling stuff. And Henry David Thoreau put it something like this “Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for success.”
So, you gotta stay busy IN your business till you get clients and sell more stuff.
And you gotta sell stuff to keep getting more clients. Sounds like a vicious circle. But it’s really an exciting spinning wheel when you Get Ready for it and keep it spinning. In fact, eventually, you can get to the point where the wheel will keep spinning without your constant hands-on-the-wheel involvement.
I’ve always told my clients how important it is to get to the point where they’re working ON their business. But before you get to that point, you’ve really gotta work IN your business. And that’s where highly organized CEO’s shine. Because they know the value of putting together a repeatable, measurable system.
The kind of system they can depend on day in and day out.
Before you start spending time, effort, and money on getting clients, it’s crucial to Get Ready and Be Ready for them. Do you have a system for contacts? I’m talking about a proven method for calling, emailing, and even mailing them. And how about a system for collecting and storing their information? Do you know what information to collect? And how you’ll use that data?
There’s a lot more valuable information you should consider when it comes to setting things up.
Good news.
I’ve already developed a system (used successfully by scores of business owners) to help take a lot of the pain and worry of setting up your contacts. And it can help you lay out your time in blocks. Because schedule control and planning is key. My RondaReady business coach CRM system includes sections for…
