Do you struggle with this, too?

Listen, one of the hardest things for a business owner to navigate is inconsistency in your business. It’s stressful and keeps us stuck in a cycle of feast or famine.

So while Shailia says she was a “hot mess” (her words) when she joined us, what I know is that what she was experiencing was pretty normal…

Hear how things changed for her so dramatically in this short 2-minute video:

There is so much value and freedom that come when you finally figure out how to have consistency and stability in your business. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

You sleep better.

You dream bigger.

Like Shailia, you begin to work ON the business, instead of IN your business.

But there are some tried-and-true strategies all super-successful business owners have discovered that you need to discover and some puzzle pieces that must be put into place.

Continuing to do things the way that you’ve been doing them creates the same results.

((sorry))

The skills, systems and strategies that we teach here at The Client Attraction Business School have a proven track record of getting entrepreneurs just like you off of the feast-or-famine roller coaster and onto the scale-and-leverage track.

This is what we do. And we do it extraordinarily well.

So if you are ready to join Shailia and hundreds of entrepreneurs like her in creating stability, confidence and sustainable growth in your own business, I invite you to apply to speak to one of my awesome Strategy Coaches here at CABS, today. If you already have a business, they can help you map out what to do in the next 12 months to grow and scale.

Once you complete your application here, we’ll get you scheduled for that call with one of our coaches. It’s time to fully explore how to have the greatest impact with your business.

I am so rooting for you!

Much love,
Fabienne

p.s. Isn’t this concept of “How do I, more and more, take myself out of the business?” one of the best questions ever? It requires that you have a solid foundation before you get to ask it.

Perhaps you’re finally ready to get that handled? If so, reach out today by clicking here and filling out the simple form. We are here, ready to help.

Deep down, you know that…

…every human shares a desire to feel important.

…every person on earth wants to feel significant, like they matter.

…every individual wants to feel special, like they’re more than a number.

And that includes your potential clients and customers.

The problem is many business owners and marketers treat their potential clients like cattle, a herd of faceless people who don’t have a soul.

But you’re different. You actually care about your people.

So when it comes to your marketing and how you communicate with your potential clients, it is vital that you embrace what I have been teaching my own clients for years, which I’m sharing with you in this week’s training.

Watch it now, because although it’s short, it has the potential to dramatically shift the impact of your marketing:


This applies to you whether you have a business where you feel comfortable using words like “love” or whether you work in an industry in which that isn’t quite the accepted norm (at least…not yet).

Ultimately, this week’s 5-minute video training comes down to empathy. How can you make the ONE person you are communicating with feel valued and special, even if you’re writing copy that reaches tens of thousands?

Is it possible to sell by being compassionate? If so, how??

Here are four strategies you can employ to have more empathy in your marketing:

  1. See their world through their eyes.
  2. Understand their feelings.
  3. Communicate understanding.
  4. Appreciate them as human beings. (Heck, even love them.)

There are so many people that are longing to feel appreciated, respected and seen. This is about having compassion for those you serve.

And ultimately when you do this, people want to consume what you offer to them.

When you act this way with your prospects, they want to be with you and invest in your services, products and programs.

It’s human nature to go where you are genuinely loved.

Will you do this? Would you be willing to slip into your heart a little bit more?

Will you start writing your marketing copy as if you are writing to your best friend? Let me know in the comments below.

(I think you’ll be really surprised when you do.)

You Rock!
Fabienne

p.s. From my heart to yours, I so appreciate you for being a part of this incredible community. I respect and admire the path you have chosen and love being on your team. Now go rock some compassionate copy, OK? 😉

 

Sometimes I’m the (loving) bearer of bad news… 🙂

Here’s what I say to many, many of our clients and students who want to turn their yearly revenues into their monthly revenues. Ready?

“Your business cannot grow if you keep doing everything yourself.”

(The response? You choose: Ouch or Duh.)

Listen, I know it can be hard. It’s actually quite an emotional process to learn to let go and delegate. Believe me, I have experienced the “There’s no way anyone else will do it as well as I can” thing.

You see, you had to be a “control enthusiast” to get your business to this level. But now, “letting go” is required. And that can be very difficult because it’s hard to trust that it will be done and done well, to our standards.

There’s another side to this coin, though. Watch this week’s training video to learn how you will know that it’s time to delegate in your business, and more importantly, what to delegate, now:

It is a beautiful thing to learn that there are people who have a zone of excellence in the areas where you are merely competent (or even incompetent)!

Listen, we all have our gifts, strengths and talents.

None of us can be good at everything and none of us (at least those of us who want to grow) can go it alone.

Remember… Your incompetence IS someone else’s Unique Brilliance. And when you let go of needing to do it all yourself (like a control enthusiast) and needing to improve your weaknesses (instead of harnessing your strengths) your business can and will thrive.

It’s a mindset as much as a strategy.

So this week, I invite you to think about the functional areas in your business that fall in your zone of competence or incompetence (rather than excellence or brilliance) that you can hire someone else to do…

Here are some ideas for you:

  • Your email and scheduling appointments
  • Your social media posting and content
  • Bookkeeping
  • Maybe even your Customer Service?

When you do, you have time for more MGAs (Money Generating Activities), which means that you make so much more money and those you hired just paid for themselves.

So, tell me on the blog: what is it in your business that needs to be delegated so you can focus on Money Generating Activities? What will you be brave enough to let go of soon?  

This is the first step in scaling and leveraging your zone of genius. And that, my friend, is the path to entrepreneurial success and exponential growth.

Here’s to your freedom,
Fabienne

p.s. This really is a conversation about freedom. The reward of becoming a successful business owner is that you create independence in your life. When you learn to delegate effectively you become free to create the systems and tools that generate revenue, and then…go to yoga, or for a walk on the beach, or lunch with friends. It’s kinda awesome. 🙂

I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today, because we have BIG changes in the works for 2016 (which also means a big positive direction for our business).

In fact, I am certain that this is a tipping point year for us here at The Client Attraction Business School. We just had hundreds of people enroll in our Mindset Mastery Course, and over 4,000 people were introduced to the importance of this concept.

That being said, it’s quite humbling that our work changes real things for real people. And it all began with the roots that I’m sharing with you in this week’s video. (I’ve pulled this one out of the archives…it’s from 2012.)

If you want more clients, watch this video and more importantly, implement what you learn. Watch it now, and then I’ll tell you why I’m so nostalgic:

You see, what you do today in your business is what will create results six months from now (please don’t let that discourage you, it’s why this video is so important…)

This topic is still the core foundation of what’ll end those middle of the night worries about not having enough clients.

Will you do what I’ve shared in this week’s 5-minute video?

It’s these consistent, planned actions that lead to consistent and stable results.

Time and time again, I notice that those who succeed are the ones who plan the work and work the plan.

It’s how I grew this business to where it is today and why we are ready to embrace our next big evolution as a company (be on the lookout for new tools, expanded learning and really big announcements over the next several months).

So while the recommendations I make in this video may not make you jump up and down with excitement (hey, I get it, you and I are built similarly), I promise that if you are in the elite group of business owners who DO implement this, you are setting yourself up to win.

And I know you’re a winner. 😉
Fabienne

p.s. Think about how you can systematize and operationalize your marketing strategy. What would make this easy for you?

p.p.s. And really do get the wall calendar. If you’re a visual person like me, it totally works.

 

People often tell me how truly inspiring it is to witness the success stories of others who are just a few steps ahead on the path to success. (I do too. It makes me think I too can achieve THAT.)

In fact, our innovative community of business owners has a saying:

“A rising tide lifts all boats.”

It’s the deep gratitude in knowing that when one of us reaches a big goal, it makes it possible for all of us to do the same.

In that spirit, I’d love for you to hear from one of our self-proclaimed “masters” of our Client Attraction Business School

Truth be told, she’s earned the right, because Shelley has been a student here for four years and counting!

And while some may think it’s because her results were less than stellar and she needed more help (ha! wait ’til you see the video below!) what you’ll hear is something completely different…

Take the next 6 minutes to get inspired and dream bigger by watching it now:

(Please watch it ’til the end as the last minute or so is incredibly profound, a valuable teaching moment in itself.)

The ripple effect of success that Shelley talks about is one of the most powerful accomplishments I see our students make. There’s simply nothing better than being able to provide a pathway to happiness and freedom for the people we love.

It can be quite humbling and awe inspiring. Imagine being able to create this for your family.

And what I also love about what Shelley shares (other than the really awesome and very true things she has to say about Derek) is her recognition of the power of bypassing her own ego.

Our ego will always defend its entrenched position, which is the status quo.

As an advancing entrepreneur, you must learn to thank that ego voice for its concern but then make decisions that lead you toward the big vision you have for yourself and your business, NOT away from it.

It is a requisite to your success.

Shelley doesn’t stay connected to The Client Attraction Business School because she’s struggling. Oh no, quite the opposite! She stays because she’s thriving. She’s learned that having this level of support and community is vital to her taking her business to the highest level possible.

This is what we do, and people like Shelley are why we do it.

I invite you to join us. This is a business school like no other. And there’s just no reason for you to work on your business alone anymore. Not when there are people like me and Shelley to cheer you on, give you resources, challenge you to play bigger (lovingly) and believe deeply in you.

We are here, ready to support you with proven training and systems, caring coaches and an aspirational community.

It’s time. It’s your time

Fill out your application to speak to one of our Strategy Coaches here, today.

I look forward to seeing you four years from now and cheering you on, too!

You’ve got this,
Fabienne

p.s. If you’ve been dancing around your decision to explore joining this community, I hope you’ll listen to Shelley’s advice (not mine about the cocktail, I was just kidding!) and take the leap by applying for a chat with one of our Coaches today.

When was the last time you beat yourself up for procrastinating, not getting enough done or lacking discipline in your business?

HA! Was it today?? 😉

An hour ago? 🙂

(No judgement here, but you definitely want to watch today’s video.)

The truth is that in order to be even more successful, we do need to have a higher level of productivity. We need time to work on our business in addition to the time we spend working in our business.

And yet, when you’re self-employed, the self-motivation required to be consistent can be challenging, at best.

The secret to greater productivity and less procrastination is simple, but few ever use it. It’s potent and must be harnessed every day, in every way. I explain how I use it in today’s 4-minute video:

This may be one of the few videos you’ve ever seen where I refer to God or a “higher source” as it relates to business. And as you’ll see in the video, time and time again, the Universe shows me that when I am clear on what I want, it delivers…every time!!

I explain how in today’s 4-minute video.

(Sadly though, we don’t always ACT when the Universe delivers the opportunity we’ve asked – even begged – for. That’s called resistance and I have some great free training coming your way on overcoming resistance. Look out for it soon!)

Over the years, I’ve noticed that the clearer I am about today’s topic, the more productive and on-task I become.

And then I crush it with my results.

Many times, however, I notice that business owners do not have clarity about this. I hope this doesn’t come across too harshly, but sometimes your actions become wishy washy as a result.

Many look outside of themselves for excuses and blame others for their results. But the truth is that you simply were unclear in your intent.

It’s really about clarity.

So if you’re feeling brave (I know you can do it!), I invite you to answer the following question:

“How have you been confusing the Universe around your intentions?”

As always, do share in the comments section. Start your response with “I.”

Own it. That’s how you get a business breakthrough.

I love reading your ah-has and breakthroughs and am always blown away by your vulnerability and authenticity.

Nothing changes until you get real. So will you take this opportunity to do so here?

I’m rooting for you, big time!
Fabienne

p.s. This is coming directly from my personal experience and what I’ve noticed in my own business. After 16 years, I’m pretty sure that this is the most powerful tool I have when it comes to productivity and discipline becoming my allies, instead of “rules” I’m beating myself up about!

p.p.s. Once you discover how you’ve been creating competing intentions, I invite you to get super clear on what you DO want… Then craft your strategy to get it and implement. It can truly be that simple.

Does getting Clarity on where you’re going, Strategy on next steps and best practices and a Community to keep you lovingly accountable get you into big Action to transcend the ordinary?

Uh, yes. Bigtime.

Are you ready to be totally inspired?

Then, meet Victoria.

Victoria is a current student of our Client Attraction Business School (CABS) who quickly progressed from the Growth Track to the Leverage Track.

When she came to us, she was shaken from having to leave her last business (it happens…) and was living off her assets. 15 years of savings were on the line.

But she was smart enough to recognize that you can’t do it alone. No one can.

Here’s her story. It’s about 5 minutes and it is so freakin’ inspirational. Just watch it now:

Victoria went from making $13,000 a year to over $1,000,000 a year, IN JUST ONE YEAR (and has grown leaps and bounds even since then).

Can you imagine??

What if THAT happened to you? How would that make a difference in your life?

CABS is a community that will take you as far as you want to go, when you finally decide to plug in, like Victoria did. It takes courage to say yes, but here’s what happens the minute you do:

  • Our training and systems meet you right where you are, so that whether you’re building to your first 100K or you have to learn to delegate and scale, like Victoria did after her first year in Growth, you have a proven process to follow.
  • Our coaches and daily accountability systems keep you honest and accountable to your goals and focused on doing the right things in the right order so you get bigger results than you ever would on your own. 
  • And our community… Our community is the magic that allows you to know that you never have to go it alone, that you’ve got friends who get it and will pick you up and dust you off when you stumble and will cheer for joy when you reach your goals.

It’s not magic. All it takes is one courageous decision to finally invest in yourself and your future. Just one decision, made in faith. That’s when you change the course of your life for the better.

I invite you to explore joining us here. If you want to hear more of the hundreds upon hundreds of inspirational success stories, spend some time here.

And then, when you’re ready to have the conversation that might change your family’s life, I invite you to apply for a session with one of our incredible coaches by clicking here.

There’s nothing more I’d love than to give you a big-squeezey hug when you walk into your first live meeting with your fellow students. Because I can’t actually describe what it’s like to join us…

…you have to experience it yourself.

To your (infinite) potential,
Fabienne

p.s. When you speak to one of our coaches, make sure to have them walk you through what the specific process would be for you… How can our strategies help your specific business grow and scale? What will be the best way for you to have the fastest results? (‘Cause hey, I’m all about R.O.I.!) Apply here for a Strategy Call today and let’s find out! I believe in you…

 

People always want to know exactly what I did (and continue to do) to achieve the extraordinary results I experience in my business and in my life…

And today, I will tell you.

This is the stuff that virtually NO business mentor or coach will ever admit to.

It’s too vulnerable and transparent.

But here I lay it out, in today’s 5-minute video. Watch it now:

Now, you don’t have to do what I did. You can absolutely discover your own path to changing your beliefs. But it works and our students get great results from this. 

What I know for sure is that if you want different results, the key is to change your beliefs.

I remember the exact moment that I knew something had to change in me…

It was the moment when Derek said to me, “It’s great that you got another new client today, but no more, ok? We never see you.”

I was really confused and conflicted because I thought that, to make the money others did, I had to keep working really, really hard.

I didn’t understand how others who had started at the same time I had were making so much more than me.

I thought something was wrong with me.

That is, until I started doing some serious personal growth and development work, examined my beliefs and got clear on how I saw myself (self image) and how small I was playing, because I was allowing myself to get stopped by my fears.

As I’ve been sharing, we are doing a deep dive into some very important concepts around Mindset this month. This is why.

It’s the key to the castle. Stay tuned, my friend.

To your expansion,
Fabienne

p.s. If you want more information on my upcoming Live Video Event on February 12, I’ve made a video for you where I share all of the details of my free MINDSET training. You can watch the video and sign up for the free training here!  

I’m going to make two bold statements.

After more than 20 years of being a student and teacher of human potential, I am more certain than ever that…

=> your results are a direct and indisputable reflection of your inner beliefs.
=> your income is directly correlated to what you believe will (and expect to) happen.

No joke.

In fact, I’d lay down my reputation (and my life) on it.

I even teach this to my 3 kids.

How do I know this to be true, with such conviction?

I passionately describe how in a new short video I made for you. Watch it now:

Fabienne-Share-Mindset-2

(In the video, I share the big turnaround I experienced that multiplied my income in just 9 months – the magic pill everyone asks me about – and I also eat crow as it relates to what I told my clients in the early days.)

You see, the beliefs that reside in your subconscious mind dictate your income level…more than your hard work has or ever will!

(I’ll share more about why this is true, and what you can do about it, all in an upcoming email.)

For now though, the good news is that:

  1. a) you can determine your beliefs by examining your current results (good or bad)
  2. b) you can change your income/results immediately by changing your beliefs (and how big you play)

THIS is the magic pill I mentioned in my last blog post, the magic pill that helps folks like us multiply our results consistently.

It’s all in your mindset and it happens almost instantly.

>>Watch this video now to discover what changed everything for me and how you can copy it. <<

But here’s a big problem I created in the past…

As much as I believe in the crucial role of your inner game as it relates to creating new breakthrough income results, I’ve recently only taught the actual process of shifting your mindset to my students in The Client Attraction Business School and at exclusive events…

…all behind closed doors.

And if you weren’t willing to travel to Florida on the beach to learn it directly from me, then you couldn’t acquire this knowledge that changes everything.

That is, until now…

(Drumroll please!)

On Friday, February 12th at 11:00 a.m. Eastern (New York Time), I am hosting a 90-minute FREE TRAINING on HOW TO MASTER YOUR MINDSET.

So that you can get out of your own way, play a bigger game and…

…make more money easily (and authentically), be more confident and experience more ease in your business than ever before.

You can grab your seat here. It’s free.

Reaching the success that you want isn’t about working harder, simply gaining more knowledge or discovering the next holy grail of marketing.

Instead, this how to master your mindset training is about permanently shifting how you sabotage yourself on a daily basis and letting things work with ease and grace in your life, with stunningly different results.

It’s about getting out of your own way.

(And it works, every time.)

Whether you’re already making multiple six figures a year but feel somewhat stuck or you’re within your first six months of business and need a quick ramp up, without this level of mindset mastery, nothing new is achieved and you stay stuck.

Just ask my hundreds and hundreds of current students and clients and the other thousands who’ve acquired this knowledge from me. They’ll tell you that THIS part of all that I teach them is what creates the most dramatic results….

…the mindset shifts.  

So let’s get that handled for you too, ok? It’s worth it.

=> Register here for this “How to Master Your Mindset” free training happening Friday, February 12th at 11:00 a.m. Eastern (New York Time) and

  • you’ll discover how to get control of your thoughts (and eliminate procrastination) for good.
  • you’ll receive the proven formula that has authentically catapulted thousands of my students from slow progress to breakthrough results (I’m talking more money in the bank and opportunities for growth…within 30 days).
  • you’ll realize how infinitely predictable it is to get the next level you really want, as soon as you gain the knowledge that shifts your mindset (like countless others).

In the past, I’ve trained people experientially over a period of 3 days, behind closed doors and requiring travel, accommodations and a tuition of up to $3,000.

Not this time.

No travel, no $3,000 tuition. Nada. Zip. Stay in your PJs.

This time around, you get your hands on this transformational process over a period of 90 minutes, without paying anything or leaving the comfort of your home or office. (All you need is a computer and an internet connection and you can join us at no charge.)

>> Your journey starts now. To get into this free training, register now by clicking here. <<

Let’s do this together,

Fabienne

p.s. I’ve also got some extra goodies coming your way BEFORE we come together on the 12th, so make sure to check out the blog so you don’t miss a thing before the live video event!

p.p.s. This is the game changer. And it’s YOUR time. Make sure to watch the video now and grab your spot here.

How to Master Your Mindset

Free Training with Fabienne Fredrickson

Friday, February 12th

11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Eastern (New York Time)

90 minutes

(don’t schedule anything else that could get in the way)

 

I am consistently blown away by the quality of entrepreneurs we attract.

People who build businesses, not just to make lots of money (oh but they do!), but to move the planet forward.

Let’s be honest…we entrepreneurs are the game changers, the peace makers and the world’s catalysts.

We are achievers and we are bold, acting from our hearts. We care. For us, it’s NOT just business, it’s personal.

We at Client Attraction are changing the paradigm of how business gets done, so that people who are feeling called to do something big, and who have the desire to be of deep service through their work, can be greatly rewarded for it, financially.

When Staci, who you’ll meet in this week’s super short video, stood up and began to share her message of how she wants to change the world…the hair on my arms stood up.

Here is a woman who has a message.

And yet, she felt lost. And so I challenged her and asked her a question. I’m going to ask you this question and share a challenge with you too.

But first, watch this 3 minute and 30 second video:

So, who do YOU want to be a hero to? Who do you want to stand up for?

What is the message that you were born to share?

And…

What is the best way for you to get that message to the people you are here to serve? Would you share it with me here in the comments section?

This.

This is how you add BIG passion to your business and stretch beyond your own concept of what is possible for you.

This, dear friend, is my loving challenge for you.

Championing you,
Fabienne

p.s. I would LOVE to know who it is that you are here to be a HERO to and what the message is that you know they need to hear. Post it below in the comments section for me, ok?
