I'm a big believe that you can envision something and make it happen.....it's something I've done all my life, in fact. I'm certainly not the only "visionary," though. Most elite athletes use visioning to "see" themselves going through their competition or their games successfully. Musicians envision themselves playing a particular piece of music in their mind - going over and over the musical score, seeing their hands making the correct moves on their instrument.

I’ve just finished three days at a marketing workshop, where I’ve had the chance to talk with many entrepreneurs and solo professionals and hear about their businesses. One of things that hits me hard is that so many people told me they have either a very small database of potential clients (prospects) or, despite years in business, have no list at all. This is a major issue for entrepreneurs, one that will quickly hamper their success and make it a lot tougher to make much money.

Here’s a quick test for you…let’s say I hand you a C-note. Close your eyes and feel that hundred dollar bill in your hand. Now, watch your thoughts and see where you mind goes. Just watch, until you get a thought that comes up about this money in your hands. What is the thought? * A good number of people will have a thought something like “I better put this away, I don’t want to lose this money.” * Fewer people will get a thought that goes “this is a gift, truly found money.

One of the questions I get asked the most frequently is about being a part time solo professional or entrepreneur. I can tell there is a good bit of frustration, exhaustion, and worry going on about this topic. So I decided to pull together some ways to build a business even if you are working. 1. Assess your commitment honestly. You may say you want to build a business, but if you find yourself "never getting around to it" then your commitment isn't high enough for success. Consistent effort is the key.

With apologies to one of my favorite authors, Elizabeth Gilbert, I want to ask you to assess your marketing with a cold eye and an honest look. Tell me.....is your marketing system based on the wish, hope, and pray method?

As a small business coach and entrepreneur, I love to read customer service answers to questions that a business’s customers actually ask. Here’s one that came to my inbox this morning: Question: Do you take orders over the phone? Answer: We can take orders over the phone, but we go through the same account creation process that you would go through yourself over the Internet. If you want to phone in your order, we will be happy to help you, but you can do it all from the comfort of your own pc as well!

There have been many studies that try to answer the question “what makes an entrepreneur?” Sometimes, a client will ask me “do you think I will be a successful entrepreneur?” Here are some of the ways we are “different.” Take a peek and see what you think! * We have a different view about risk, luck, convention, and decision-making. We take risks quickly and easily, because we “get it” that one doesn’t move forward by always playing it safe. We tend not to believe in luck as much as we make our luck by following up consistently.

Years ago, I heard the statement "the fastest way to personal growth is to open your own business." Thirteen years after opening my first business, I can promise that statement is true. Like many people who are self-employed, I came out of the corporate world, where I was used to having support staff, creative people around me to bounce ideas off of, and the big bosses over me to handle the heat. I also had janitorial staff to clean the office and technical support staff to handle an errant computer.

One of of my clients who lives overseas is in the midst of marketing his year-long high level Mastermind group. We’ve been through setting up the sales copy for his website, and he’s pulled together some introductory workshops to give his potential clients a taste of what he does and how he works. Still, he wants to do all he can to maximize enrollment, so he asked if I had more suggestions for him. Sure do! Here are 7 ways to fill your events: 1. Be clear about how many people you want.

Not long ago, I got this question from a frustrated entrepreneur. "I need help in getting with prospects to make a presentation, then being able to close the deal. I do realize that what I sell isn't something that everyone needs everyday. So I need a way to convince them that I am the company they need to work with." As a marketing therapist, I'm always listening to both the questio AND what is coming from inside the person, too. So, my answer is on two levels. It's an answer to what I hear IN the question and what I disce are issues WITHIN the person asking the question.

One of the things that catches up the entrepreneurs I work with is perfectionism. I see this almost every day, an unwillingness to launch a product, produce a video, do a live event, publish a book, launch a website unless it is perfectly done. The fear of failure is often immense. I think there are a lot of reasons for that, and I know that it is a peculiarity of American culture much more than in other cultures. We seek to be entrepreneurs who always shine, don't make mistakes, and look perfectly in control.

I consider LinkedIn to be one of the “big four” of social media (the others are Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube). But after I read a few recent articles about LinkedIn, I realized I was not using my profile in a very business-savvy way. Here are 3 ways to update your LinkedIn profile that will increase your visibility and help build recognition for your expertise. 1. Change what you have in the fields for first and last name. Instead of using Sue Painter, for example, I kept my first name (Sue) but changed the last name field to read Painter, Owner, The Confident Marketer.
