Are You Struggling to Gain Clarity and Wondering
How to Attract And Identify Your Ideal Client
By Following Your Passion?
Niche Market, Target Market… Whatever You Call It,
Make CERTAIN You Are Treating Your Clients as Clients
NOT Just Customers!
I had no clue about how to “identify my ideal client” when I came online in January of 2007. My first 2 years was spent trying to unravel the overwhelming amount of information I found on this subject online. PHEW!
Like you, I had the same feelings, frustrations and fears, and found it challenging to find my niche market, my target market online. I truly thought (and believed) just being online was the answer to all my prayers.
I began by learning about website creation and product creation; learning everything I could about creating an online business. It seemed every course I took tapped on “how to attract and identify your ideal client”, but I just couldn’t seem to get a REAL handle on it.
Then one day in a coaching program I was taking, I learned a method that aligns your energy around you and your passion, which then flows effortlessly into your business.
It was during this program when I discovered my target market, my niche market, using this mindset for success that helped me gain clarity as to why I wanted to BE in my business and who I am meant to serve. My intention is to shed light for you, and help you gain clarity so that you will easily ATTRACT and identify your ideal client and create an endless stream of paying clients into your online business.
The programs you have followed in the past, and the programs you are following now, have all brought you to where you are today. It’s the story that has gotten you to where you are now… your story as to what brought you into your business. Therefore, the clarity you seek lies within YOU to connect to your story.
Your personal development STORY is what attracted you to your particular business and has lead you here, right now, up to this very moment in your life. Your story will lead others to follow you if you share it from your heart and not your head. Your ideal client is a mirror image of YOU.
Spiritual and Practical Strategies To Help You
Attract and Identify Your Ideal Client
If you want to attract and identify your ideal client into your business, then you NEED to get in touch with a mindset that actually works and connects with those you are meant to serve. You WANT to come from a place of a serving heart to attract like-minded clients to what you have to offer.
Here is Webster’s definition of the difference between a customer and a client…
Customer – one who purchases a commodity or service
Client – one who is under the protection of another
HUGE difference.
If you want to attract and identify your ideal client, then you need to ask yourself how are you feeling about yourself and your business, and what is it that frustrates you about getting to where you want to be in your life and in your business. It is important to get in touch with these feelings so that you can let go of the crippling energy that holds you back and open yourself up to those clients who will resonate with you because they are experiencing these same feelings and frustrations.
As a coach I help others solve their problems, so coming from a coaches point of view…. you want to BE in your CLIENTS shoes. Your Client wants what you wanted when you first started seeking growth for your own personal development and following your passion which, most likely, lead you into the business you have chosen.
Healing you first by expressing yourself to the Universe in a way that is authentic and real, allows the Universe to show you the way to healing and helping others where they need your guidance. You will effortlessly be able to identify your ideal client because you will naturally attract those clients whose needs you can best serve authentically. These are the clients that are aligned with what you have to offer, and you help them move forward JUST LIKE YOU did and continue to do on your journey to a greater sense of freedom, purpose and joy.
It forever blossoms and grows! So will you, your clients, and your business.
It’s a perfect match! Identify your ideal client by being an ideal match.. someone who relates to them on a deep, heart-felt, and spritual level.
Getting in touch with your feelings is what will make your connection to your client’s desires genuine. This will allow you to create a path for your client to connect heart-to-heart with you and visa-versa. This is where the REAL power of attraction lies.
When you share your fears and frustrations with the Universe you allow yourself to step into your true feelings. This creates an opening for you to accept and release this energy that holds you back and by doing so, allows you to move forward to connect with those you are meant to serve in your business.
Too many times we put the cart before the horse and come from a place of self-serving rather than leading by serving others. Serve first, and the rest comes naturally.
BIG difference!
So, next time you are writing about your business, put on your clients shoes and take a walk in them before you start typing away. Remember to think about how you felt when you first started out in your personal growth to healing and acceptance, to letting go and following your passion – the BEing part and not the DOing part – so that you can share with your clients how you were able to unblock the energy that held you captive from achieving your professional dreams and personal goals.
Peeling back the layers of your own beliefs will help you to understand who IS your target market and where you’ll discover your niche market. It is here that an abundance of ideal clients are waiting for you to share your message, your story, your gift to the world
Whatever your passion might be, you can live it to the fullest and achieve REAL success! The beginning foundation to achieving your dreams and goals is right here just waiting for you to put to work in your life.
