I know it’s cushy in your comfort zone…

…but what I know from 16 years of leading boldly with my heart, and reaping all the benefits of this, is that ALL of the magic you seek actually happens outside of what is familiar to you.

(Let that sink in.)

Everything you want, and I mean everything, is right beyond what you consider “comfortable.”

In this week’s short 3-minute video, I share with you my secrets to playing boldly (like moving to Paris with my family next week or writing a book in 6 months) without losing my sanity.

Watch it now (and try not to laugh when I demonstrate my “trick,” in heels no less, OK?):

Whether you have a decision to make about hiring a new team member, investing in yourself or creating a new revenue stream in your business, to have it, you simply have to get a bit uncomfortable.

Successful people make these decisions strategically, intuitively and quickly. They ask the question: “Will this move me toward what I want?”

They don’t keep doing the same exact thing and expecting different results. They create new circumstances.

But this doesn’t need to be scary. It can be as simple as taking one small step in faith…

It’s the quote we all know and love: “A journey of 1000 miles begins with one step.”

IN. FAITH.

Too many people believe that they have to leap, that the way to the results they want is to take a running jump, see if they can skip all the individual steps and make a perfect landing at the top of the staircase.

That, my friend, IS scary!

And totally unnecessary.

As I said in today’s training video, all it takes is ONE step, in the direction of your desire. Just outside of your comfort zone… And then do it again. And do it again.

And before you know it, there you are. Goal accomplished.

Be brave. You already have what it takes,

P.S. How did you like my dramatic acting skills in the video? 😉 If I can do THAT on stage in front of 400+ people, you can definitely get out of your comfort zone too.

 

We all face fears. Everyone.

In fact, they never go away. (Sorry, but it’s the truth.)

Something I’m teaching our students of my Business School today is that at every new level, there’s a new devil.

Every time you go for something bigger, in business or in life, you will experience a certain level of fear.

Expect it.

But what do you do with that fear? Today’s new 4-minute video will show you what to do when you experience fear so you get out of it.

I think you’ll really like the simple process that’s required to move out of fear. It’s so simple, but few people actually do it.

Only those who are truly successful do.

In fact, it’s because they do this that they become successful.

Um, coincidence? No, it’s a mind-set. 😉

At the end of today’s new video, I give you two short questions to answer. Will you answer them in the comments?

I’d love to connect with you there.

Thanks for reading this today and walking this entrepreneurial path with me. I’m here for you, with love.

Big squeezey hugs,
Fabienne

p.s. Hey, speaking of mind-set, do you know I’m going on tour to teach the mindset secrets of millionaire entrepreneurs? It’s free and it starts next week. Do you know someone who would benefit from new results? Invite them to come with you to my free Mindset Tour by clicking here or sending them this blog, OK?

One of my biggest marketing strategies for people who are new in business is to send a “Warm Letter.” This is a letter that lets your contacts, family and friends know what you are up to. In this letter you explain:

• The service or products you offer
• Who your ideal client is
• Examples of customer successes with your offering
• How they can send you referrals

In the Warm Letter, you can also share testimonials for happy customers and clients, announce new offerings and share news with your list of contacts. The idea is to stay top-of-mind. Warm Letter campaigns can help you drum up business and increase your client base. These are people who already know and like you, so they feel safe referring others who could benefit from what you do.

Number one reason people don’t send Warm Letters
Surprisingly, you might think business owners don’t use this powerful referral tool for these reasons:
• They don’t feel comfortable with their writing skills
• They don’t know what to write about
• They don’t get to it on their list of to-dos
• They can’t afford the postage
• They feel the list of contacts is too small to bother with

However, these fears can be, not one is the main reason business owners don’t send a Warm Letter. The main reason business owners don’t send the letter is a fear of criticism, pushback, humiliation or rejection.

What is the opportunity cost of not sending the letters?
This fear of what other people will think and the risk of feeling humiliated can be almost crippling. It can keep you from building your business and hold you back from putting yourself out there. When you let the fear take over, you might not offer your amazing products or service to those who could really benefit.

The good news? You can get past this fear and move forward. Here are two empowering suggestions to overcome your concerns.

1. More people will like you than dislike you. Yes, a few people might not like what you have to say. I say, “So what?” Not everyone will approve of everything you do 100 percent of the time. Don’t hold back while worrying about a few naysayers who don’t get you.

2. Keep the people you can help in mind. Think about the people who will really grow and improve their situations based on what you have to offer. Don’t hold back due to fear, because you will be letting people down. They need your solution, so push yourself to share openly.

It‘s your duty to send your Warm Letter and share your brilliance with others. The more people who know about what you do, the more who will benefit. There is a point in life when you have to face the fear and do it anyway.

Your Client Attraction Assignment
It’s time to get over the fear of self-promotion. Ask yourself, “What is the worst thing that can happen?” Your feelings might be hurt? Yes, that is possible. But, if you’re speaking the truth in your letter and it can help a handful of people, then you must do it.

This is just one of the many best practices we dive deep into with the students of The Client Attraction Business School, the premier training school for growth-minded entrepreneurs looking to quickly attract more clients and make more money.
