how to play a bigger game Archives - Small Business Coach, Women Business Coaching - Client Attraction

At the risk of sounding like a get-rich-quick scheme (yuck!) I am writing you today to let you know that you can indeed afford anything you want.

Meaning, there is money in your life – right now – that you don’t know exists.

Or rather, there is POTENTIAL money in your life right now, in the form of opportunities that haven’t been actioned yet. And lots of it.

What??

Yes, and this week’s video (straight from my recent Mindset Retreat) explains what I mean and how to find that money:

(Note: if you’re spiritual like I am, you’ll love the content starting at 4:04. And just a friendly heads-up that there’s a whispered expletive at around 6:06, just to spice things up a bit, courtesy of one of my dear students!) 🙂

Listen, I hear entrepreneurs (and just regular folks off the street too) tell me, almost daily, how they “can’t afford this” or “don’t have the money for that,” etc.

The reframe I have around this that has proven to be completely life-altering for tens of thousands of people so far is that if you change your beliefs, the money will be there.

Here’s what I mean:

If you stop saying, “I can’t afford it” and instead say, “HOW can I afford it?”, you will begin to activate your brain’s Reticular Activating System (basically, a part of your brain’s function that acts as a filter for what you’ve asked it to look for) and you will begin to FIND the money.

Every year at The Mindset Retreat™ and throughout our programs of The Client Attraction Business School™, I teach our students this powerful focusing strategy for finding at least 50 opportunities for new money waiting for you right now.

This is a practice that my husband Derek and I still use to this day. It’s crazy how it works every time someone uses it as instructed. I’m always (still) blown away.

Intrigued?

Once you’ve watched the video, the question I’m excited for you to answer is:

What are 3 opportunities (out of the 50 you come up with) that you’ll implement this week for making more money right now?

I can’t wait to read your comment on the blog and cheer you on as you begin to implement this. I believe in you.

Sending you so much love,
Fabienne

p.s. Speaking of the Reticular Activating System… a big (personal) dream of mine is happening this week. What happens when you explore what’s possible beyond your limiting beliefs? Do you dare to push beyond what you’ve done before, to break out of your comfort zone and activate your potential for greatness? That’s what I’m talking about during my first TED Talk tomorrow.

My intention (as per my journal entry from this morning) is to “deliver a powerful, loving, life-changing message, beaming love the whole time, causing a shift in consciousness, for the highest good of all… Let my session be dangerous to a person’s sense that they are small and helpless and hopeless; to their feeling that they are alone and invisible; to any belief they have that they are somehow worthless, inadequate or bad; to any belief that they are too much or not enough. AND SO IT IS!” Thank you for your continued, loving support! I love you. 😉

My students in the Client Attraction Business School have a term that they use for the interactions they have with me.

They affectionately call it, “The Fabienne Stretcher”.

It makes me laugh. What they’re referring to is what happens when they come to me with a nice, respectable goal for what they want to accomplish in their business.

For a split second, they feel stretched, slightly beyond their comfort zone, but they also smile…

They smile because, as I’ve learned, everyone actually likes to feel just a little bit challenged. It makes them realize you believe in them and in their ability.

And because of it, they play a bigger game.

And create uncommon results, year after year.

And, in the end, that’s why they stay with us and keep coming back, as is the case with the woman I mention in the video.

An unexpected stick strategy, would you agree?

So my question for you this week is this:

How do you challenge your clients? If you were to challenge your clients to play a bigger game, how would you stretch them a little bit more?

I’d love to read how you use this in your business and how you could do more of this with your own clients. Please leave me a comment, OK?

Thanks so much for reading and watching. I am so happy to have you in my life and in our community.

You’ve got what it takes. I believe in you.

Love,
Fabienne

Mindset—your psychology  of success—is not just thinking positively. It’s about going inside and seeing what’s getting in the way because that’s what drives EVERYTHING.

If you’re experiencing failure or struggle,  it’s based on your mindset.

If you’re experiencing big breakthroughs,  it’s based on your mindset.

Your mindset drives your actions. And your actions dictate your results.

So if all this stuff is under the surface, what do you do to fix it?

You’ve got to look at the internal struggle happening right now underneath your surface. You may not even know its there or how to pinpoint it.

But it’s important to realize that if there’s a struggle on the inside, there will always be a struggle on the outside.

If you want to succeed,  you must look inside—at the fears, the behaviors, your self-image…if you don’t, then you stay stuck. You’ll continue to wonder why it’s not happening for you. It’s like driving with one foot on the gas, while pulling up on the brake. It’s like going nowhere fast.

Are you ready to look inside and finally end the internal struggle that’s holding you back?

Yes? Good because I just launched my BRAND NEW Inner Game Coaching Program which includes my never before released DVD and CD home study program from my sold-out Mindset Retreat as well as 7 Direct Access Coaching Calls with me over a 14-week period.

There’s still a little time left to take advantage of my super low Early Bird tuition (save a cool $500 but offer ends TOMORROW) and my EZ 5-month installment plan.  Get all the details and register here.

I believe you were divinely contracted to be here with me right now. You were meant to be here . You were meant to hear this message now.  Join Me. Now is your time to play big.

There’s a big fat lie about people who make a lot of money and that’s that they’re greedy, inauthentic, that they take money from others…Not only is that not true,  it’s impossible.

Why? Because there is an unlimited supply of abundance in the universe. There is no limit to what can be created.

In fact, by making more you don’t take anything away from anybody. It’s not about that. It’s about adding a lot more value to a lot more people so you can multiply your income dramatically.

Sounds simple, right? But if the formula is so simple, then what’s the problem? Why isn’t every entrepreneur a millionaire?

What’s holding you back is fear of change.  That fear keeps you playing small and to avoid the discomfort, you use excuses—everyday (whether you realize it or not…)

Then feelings of inadequacy come up…I’m not worth it. I don’t deserve it. Do I really need it?

These lead to self sabotaging behaviors—procrastination, negative self talk, fears of what people will think and say…not enough determination, perseverance or faith.

So why does all this matter anyway? Because your mindset—your inner game—drives 90% of your success.

It’s time to transform your inner game to play a BIGGER game.

I invite you to be part of my BRAND NEW Inner Game Coaching Program, which includes my never before released DVD and CD home study program from my sold-out Mindset Retreat as well as 7 Direct Access Coaching Calls with me over a 14-week period.

Imagine that you stand before a placid lake at dusk. You take a rock and you toss it into the lake and create a ripple effect.

That’s what you do every time you work with a client. You create a ripple effect that affects their life in some way as well as the people around them—their friends, family, spouse, children, co-workers. ALL of their lives change—because of you.

Now, imagine for a moment that you’re not working with ONE client, but TEN clients. What happens to that placid lake as you toss 10 rocks into it? What about if you work with 100 clients, or 1,000, or let’s even say—10,000?  Imagine the ripple effects you are creating. Imagine the lives you’re affecting.

And, the more people you serve, the more money you make.

To make a lot more money in your business, you’ve got to add a lot more value in the marketplace. Yes, you’re adding some value now, and that’s fantastic. But it’s time to add even more value and to a lot more people.

You say you know this—but are you living it daily? Would you like to?

Here’s how:

Your gifts—your skills and talents—were divinely given to you NOT to squander. It’s time to play a bigger game. You can do it. I believe in you!

As entrepreneurs we are cut from a different cloth. We’re not like everyone else. We’re not looking to clock in and clock out everyday from 9 to 5. Instead we put our hearts and souls into all that we do.

It comes down to this. You were given very special skills and talents—innate abilities and unique experiences that make you who you are today. It’s your duty to take those abilities and experiences and be of service to those who need you most—regardless of what you do. I call this sharing your brownies. And it’s time you stop being so stingy with what you’re cooking up and instead share your brownies with the world. It’s all about playing a bigger game.

Are you ready to play a bigger game in your life and in your business?

Yes? Good because I just launched my BRAND NEW Inner Game Coaching Program with direct access to me as I walk you through my mindset formula, with experiential exercises and daily accountability and direct coaching from me. Right now you can take me up on my Early Bird $500 off discount AND ez pay installment plan, but only until midnight THIS Friday. Oh, and we still have some incredible bonuses left (including a free ticket to my next LIVE Mindset Retreat in 2012, worth $3,000.) The bonuses won’t last long so go check it out here. Let this be a defining moment in your life.

If you made the time to clear your schedule and join me for last night’s 4th and final module of my How to Play a Bigger Game training program, I want to say a huge and sincere thank you. I’m truly honored and humbled that you chose to spend your time with me on what was one of the most amazing training calls I’ve ever held. We’ve already heard from so many who said they were moved—at some points to tears. And as you can probably guess, so was I.

If you were there, then you know I revealed the last key to unlocking the door of playing a bigger game in your business and your life. If you missed it, it’s ok because my team recorded the whole call so you can listen to the playback (and watch the videos from modules 1-3 too) by clicking here. (But don’t wait too long because it won’t be available for much longer.)

The first three steps in my How to Play a Bigger Game training program covered Daring to Dream a Bigger Dream, Clearing the Gunk, and Taking Massive Action. In Module 4, I covered how to Be Unwavering and Act with Faith.

It’s time for you to lock into your vision—the bigger dream you created for being of service—and don’t let go no matter what! From here you’ll need to watch for signs and opportunities. This is how the HOW shows up once you’ve made the commitment to multiply your client base (and therefore your income) so you can be of service in a much, much bigger way.

And through it all, here’s what you must remember. You are always being guided. And yes, once in awhile resistance will show up. In fact, the more important the goal or vision is to you for your soul’s evolution, the more resistance you will encounter as you pursue it.

And when you encounter resistance, it ignites the ego and the ego’s sword is fear. So how do you overcome fear—fear of change, fear of failure, fear of success?!

Fear is the most destructive, paralyzing thing that keeps you from playing big and succeeding. But it is a false panic point. It’s up to you to cross that panic point.

Let me show you how.

So, are you ready? Come spend some time with me. I’m going to reveal it all to you: How to be Unwavering and Act with Faith. I’m going to show you why you are never presented with an opportunity for growth without also being given the way to accomplish it and the means to afford it. Listen to the whole training call here.

Here I go getting vulnerable with you again…Module 3 in my How to Play a Bigger Game training program covers one of my favorite themes: Personal Responsibility.

I want to be completely transparent with you and tell you that there was a time that I used to be someone who didn’t take personal responsibility in my life. I put up with unhealthy relationships, was in a terrible financial state, wasn’t taking care of things they way I should have been—but yet I felt it was OK to complain about all it all.

I wasn’t willing to take personal responsibility; therefore I wasn’t taking any action on the opportunities for change that showed up in my life. Instead, I complained. I blamed. I stayed stuck.

Here’s the thing—each and every one of us creates every result that we have in our lives, including the results we experience in our business, our income, our relationships—everything in our lives. You create your reality by the actions you take OR by the actions you DON’T take each and every time an opportunity shows up.

So, what does personal responsibility have to do with playing a bigger game?

Everything. Personal Responsibility is all about being in control of the results you create in your life. If you’re not taking personal responsibility, you’re not in control, you can’t take action and you have no choice but to play small.

I explain it all in detail in Take Massive Action, my 3rd training module in the series (and the last video before my big training call tonight!) Here’s the thing—if you don’t find a way to take massive action you create your life by default. Today, I want you to decide to take a different course of action. Each moment of your life is an opportunity to go one way—or go the way you’ve always gone. It’s all within your own control. Let me show you how. Watch my training video here.

The feedback on my “Play a Bigger Game” training program has been amazing. I’ve received and read all your comments (on email and on my video training page).  So many of them really moved me. Your big vision for your future is coming into focus and so now the question on your mind may be—what’s the next step?

If you’re currently working with 20 or 200 clients, how do you step up your game to start reaching 2000 or 20,000 or 200,000 and beyond? What have you got to do to make it happen?

Let’s start by looking at what you say you want (your conscious thoughts) vs. what you really believe (your subconscious beliefs).  What I know from personal experience and from coaching so many entrepreneurs just like you – is that oftentimes there’s a struggle between the two—and when there’s a struggle on the inside (your mindset), there will always be a struggle on the outside (your marketing).

Let’s suppose for a moment that you say you want to grow your business this year so that you’re working with 2,000 clients. But, if on the sub-conscious level you have beliefs and expectations that don’t support your conscious thoughts, you’ll really struggle to reach that goal—if you’re able to at all. That’s because in the battle between what we think and what we believe, the subconscious always trumps the conscious.

So, you may say that you “want a million dollar business” and think it will happen. But, if deep down you hold perhaps resentment and anger towards people with money – it will never happen. Those resentments may be deep-rooted beliefs about money and the type of people who have it – perhaps from your upbringing as a child and from your parents. If those beliefs still exist today – you’ll never truly believe that you can have a million dollar business. The thought (conscious) and belief (subconscious) have to be in alignment and congruent for this to be true.

The good news is that once you resolve the struggle on the inside, the results you dream about become reality—and quickly too! Come watch my newest video in my How to Play a Bigger Game training program and let me show you how to clear the gunk! Watch the video here.

Last week I released my first video for my  brand-new 4-part “How to Play a Bigger Game” training program for entrepreneurs and small business owners. In it, I  addressed a statement made by the Dalai Lama at the Vancouver Peace Summit in 2009. He said, “The world will be saved by the Western woman.” (You can view the official press release here.)

I do agree but I feel that the Dalai Lama was off just a little bit in his statement about the future, as I explain in the first video of the series, entitled Dream a Bigger Dream. My announcement was met with some controversy however my intent was not to offend but rather to challenge women entrepreneurs to start playing a much bigger game in their businesses.

I know from personal experience that self-imposed limits and internal struggles hold people back from achieving their full potential. But several years ago I made the decision to step up and step out and committed herself to reaching as many as I could in order to share my unique talents and abilities with other entrepreneurs who needed these solutions. I ended up crossing the million dollar mark in my own business at the age of 38 and has subsequently doubled my business nearly every year to the multi-million dollar level and more importantly works with thousands of clients, helping to change their businesses and lives—and the lives of those around them.

Now I am sharing my proven step-by-step women business coaching system in my brand new, never-before-seen high content, high value free training program, teaching entrepreneurs and small business owners around the globe my insider secrets to playing a bigger game in business, serving many more clients and making more money.

This training program will culminate on my one-time-only free training call where I’ll reveal additional content and tie each training video together for a step-by-step process guaranteed to result in more clients, more income and a bigger purpose for each viewer’s business and life.

My first video training, where I teach my Abundance Formula (the very same one that I use with  clients and students) was just released to hundreds of rave reviews from participants.(See comments on the video page.)

So, what does Playing a Bigger Game have to do with the Dalai Lama’s statement? We entrepreneurs have the ability to change people’s lives through the work we do. It’s our divine duty to get out there and reach as many people as possible. With each client we help, we create a ripple effect that contributes to everlasting change in the world.

Register for my mportant, in-depth training program, at absolutely no charge at http://www.HowToPlayABiggerGame.com. Video #1 is live and you can access it immediately—and yes, you’ll also get my full explanation on why I think the Dalai Lama was off just a little bit in his statement. Hear me out, ok?
