Awhile ago, I got an email from one of the "gurus" I follow and it shocked me. The gist of it was this person wanted to trade services for a household item.To say it floored me would be an understatement.What was worse was a few days later t Automation technologies represent a fundamental aspect of any modern industry. The major types of industrial automation solutions, such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and MES, are used on a large-scale in process and discrete industries.DCS technologie
What you have to give is enough if you give it with all your heart. -Chieko N. OkazakiHere are some of the things I heard from some clients and workshop participants. Notice the enough theme:I need to learn more to be credible enough.I need to be an expert for clients to want to work with me and since Im not an expert, then I dont believe I can do it.Im not good enough, I dont know enough.I dont have enough experience.I havent studied enough.Im not as good as my competitors, so I need to be more.Some health practitioners were a perfect example of this. They didnt seem to be ready enough to get out there to attract clients, until they learned more about other holistic modalities: Reiki, herbs, yoga, acupressure, aromatherapy, Chinese Medicine, CranioSacral Therapy, Jin Shin Do, etc. Otherwise, they didnt feel ready to go out there and market themselves in a BIG way.I wondered where this was coming from. Was it a sense of not being enough as a person? Was it a fear of really exposing themselves, meaning, if youre not ready to market yourself fully because you dont know enough, then you wont really ever have to expose yourself and be vulnerable. Was it something about having to be a good girl and if you werent perfect, you werent good. Perhaps it was the sense that they werent whole and they needed more to complete them.Whatever it was, I knew this was a bottomless pit. They would never end up feeling whole, just continuing to LEARN instead of DOING. What I was sure about, is that if you wait to know it ALL before you get out there and market, youll never actually get out there in a BIG way. There will always be hesitancy and we all know that He who hesitates is lost. This is a bit like Perfection Paralysis that I sometimes talk about. Except now, its a false sense of needing to BE perfect.You dont need to be the expert to do more marketing and to have clients. Expert is a relative term. I call myself a Client Attraction expert, but Im not the only one who talks about marketing your practice so you can fill your practice. And Im not the one whos been doing it the longest. But I do have a way of doing it that no one else has, not just because of my System, but because of how I deliver the information and WHO I am. My knowledge, my own experiences, my methods, and my energy, all combine to make me different in the marketplace. And its the same for you.You see, you can be an expert simply because you know more than the average person. Stop anybody on the street and ask them something technical about what you do (and take for granted), and the likelihood is, they wont have any clue what youre talking about. But YOU could do it in your sleep. If you are a holistic healer, knowing a couple of modalities or just simply how to make brown rice without burning the pot is enough to have people want to work with you. Heck, most people havent eaten brown rice other than in a Chinese food take-out container, let alone know what its good for! So, in that sense, you ARE an expert and you DO know enough.Dan Kennedy has a great saying: Good enough is good enough. Yes, you can learn MORE and I recommend you do. For example, I read more books, manuals, and home study systems on marketing, manifesting and self-improvement in a year than most people read in a lifetime. But Im not waiting til I know it all, because I never will and neither should you. But you better believe Im still out there attracting clients, and so should you. Forget Perfection Paralysis! Just get out there more than you are now and itll all work itself out.Your Client Attraction Assignment: Dont let the fact that you dont know it ALL stop you from becoming a mini-expert. You know more than the majority of people and these same people NEED you to market yourself so they can find you. They need the solution you provide. Have confidence in what you do and then go for it.Then, as youre working with those clients, continually learn more, build a team of people and resources around you so that you always have someplace to turn for an answer if you dont have it at your fingertips. Clients can wait 24 hours for an answer. They dont care, they just want the answer! Remember, if you know that Good enough is good enough and you give it all youve got, you will always be enough and your clients will get just what they need. Now, go out there and do what it takes to fill your practice, OK?
