What They Don't Tell You When You Strike Out On Your Own

Whos doing your marketing and promotions for you while you are busy with clients?

This has been one of my BIGGEST lessons to learn in having my own business as a consultant. Its been great to work for my clients, getting paid and helping them, to grow their business, until the day arrives that I don't have any clients next to serve. This means I haven't up with my daily activities

Does this sound familiar?

We need to keep the funnel going. Many of us have hidden profits in our business, so where is it? Do we know where to look to find the hidden profits or opportunities to keep the flow going?

Here are some ideas that I have used to help me to keep the flow going.

1. Write down everything you do when a client arrives this will help you to develop your own marketing system.
2. Set-aside extra cash for marketing purposes - even if it is only $20.00 per month
3. Book time off just for you. This way you are making space for more opportunities to come your way.
4. Refrain from panicking looking for clients.
5. Surrender this
6. Spend time with friends, family and activities or hobbies that you have
7. Be flexible with what comes to you
8. Write down what you can do for your current clients in getting referrals from them
9. Write a list of things that you can do to help you attract your clients faster
10. Make a list of things your clients have been asking for that you dont provide and see if somehow you can offer it, even if it means you partner up with someone else to deliver it.
