The Quest for Three New Clients: Strategies for Business Growth”

In the ever-evolving business landscape, growth and sustainability go hand in hand. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting your journey, the need for new clients is a constant reality. In this article, we explore the significance of acquiring three new clients and share strategies to achieve this crucial milestone.

The Power of Three

Why three new clients? This number represents a balanced approach to growth. It’s significant enough to make a positive impact on your revenue and business stability, yet manageable to nurture meaningful relationships and maintain the quality of your service or product.

Let’s dive into some effective strategies to help you secure those three new clients:

1. Define Your Ideal Client

Before embarking on your quest, clearly define your ideal client. This ensures you invest your efforts in the right direction. Consider factors like industry, company size, geographic location, and specific needs that your product or service can address. Knowing your target audience is the first step toward attracting the right clients.

2. Leverage Your Existing Network

Your existing network can be a goldmine for new opportunities. Reach out to past clients, colleagues, friends, and industry connections. Let them know about your current offerings and ask for referrals. Personal recommendations often carry a lot of weight, making it more likely for potential clients to trust your services.

3. Online Presence and Marketing

A solid online presence is vital in today’s digital age. Ensure your website is up-to-date and optimized for search engines. Create valuable content through blog posts, social media, or email newsletters that resonate with your target audience. Sharing your expertise and providing solutions to common pain points can attract potential clients who are actively seeking your services.

4. Networking and Industry Events

Attend industry-specific events, conferences, and trade shows. These gatherings offer an excellent opportunity to meet potential clients face-to-face and establish a personal connection. Prepare an elevator pitch that clearly communicates the value you can bring to their business.

Find your tribe

One of the ways I choose to do this is through paid network marketing. Recently, I joined Tribe Network Marketing here in Colorado.

5. Offer a Compelling Value Proposition

When approaching potential clients, focus on the unique value your product or service provides. Tailor your pitch to address their specific needs and pain points. Demonstrating how you can solve their problems or help them achieve their goals will make a strong impression.

6. Follow Up and Persistence

The path to acquiring new clients often involves multiple touchpoints. Don’t be discouraged by initial rejections or delays in responses. Follow up politely and persistently, showing your genuine interest in working together. Building relationships takes time, and patience is vital.

7. Measure and Adjust

Track your progress and assess the effectiveness of your strategies. If certain methods aren’t yielding results, be willing to adjust your approach. Continuous improvement is essential for long-term success.

Conclusion

Acquiring three new clients may seem like a modest goal, but it’s a significant step toward business growth and sustainability. By defining your ideal clients, leveraging your network, maintaining a robust online presence, and offering compelling value, you can confidently embark on your quest. Remember that building meaningful relationships and delivering exceptional service are the cornerstones of client acquisition.

Happy Bookaversary to Me

Happy Bookaversary to me!

The number eight

Today marks eight years since I had my first book hit the market. When my book first came out I write a blog post titled  I Wrote A Book. 

Since then its first publication, over twenty books have been sold.  Don’t be sad.  I am just happy that I had book sales. 

Self Publishing

After having gone through the self-publishing experience,  I can honestly tell you I’d never do it again!!  Self-publishing is the publication of media by its author at their own cost, without the involvement of a publisher.

Marketing Plan

Maybe it’s because I didn’t take making a Marketing plan as seriously as I should have.  I didn’t have a “marketing plan” in place. My plan consisted of zero advertising, word of mouth, social media posts, book giveaways, and writing blog articles. Next time a publishing company can do it all. I’d be happy to attend book signings.

Writing The Sequel

Writing the sequel has been a challenge over the last few years. Life has gotten in the way of actually sitting down, and pushing forward to get it done.

My goal is to finish things up by the end of this year. Stay tuned.

The Great American Dream, Is It Gone?

A BETTER LIFE

Have you ever sat down and thought to yourself;  “Where has the great American dream gone”? 

In the past 10 years the U.S. Government reports that more than 3.5 million jobs have been eliminated in the past 10 years! What’s more frightening is that an estimated 55% of jobs created in the next 5-10 years will be at or just slightly above minimum wage. The modern two income family earners are not able to provide and care for themselves or their families like their parents.

At age 50 — 75% of the population has less than $5,000.00 saved up for retirement. Not to mention that if they were to take ill who’s going to take care of them? Medicare, Medicaid is not enough. Once you have worked so hard all of your life to earn your pension unless you’ve made a sustainable amount then you’re stuck with state run care. (I will not get on my soapbox about that issue).

What’s happened to the middle class?

Today if you’re making more than $27,500 a year you are doing better than half of this country. Realistically that’s not enough to buy food, pay the mortgage, car payments and other needs. The fact is that this is one of the reasons why both parents are working in a two parent family. Sometimes both parents are working multiple jobs to just barely make ends meet. Over the last few years the cost of living has risen but not the paychecks!
Once upon a time, most American families could afford a nice home, two cars, a motorcycle, a boat and a nice vacation at least once a year. I remember taking at least two vacations a year with my parents when I was younger. We were middle class and we were happy. But now I ask you; “Where is the American Dream”? Has it dies right in front of our eyes? The middle class is getting screwed at every turn. We work hard for what we have and it’s still not enough! Does every American need to be at the poverty level or below? Does every American need to be at the upper class level or above it?

After World War II the American Middle Class was thriving. Men were returning home from war opening new businesses, employing more people and happy to be alive.  People wanted to work hard to earn what they had and keep it.
One of the biggest reasons that people come to America is to find the “American Dream”. It seems like now the illegal aliens that are coming to America are getting everything handed to them. But at what cost?

Some surprising facts:

According to a new CNN polls, 59 percent of Americans believe that is has become impossible for most people to have the American Dream.
The American Dream is impossible to achieve in this country.
So say nearly 6 in 10 people who responded to CNN Money’s American Dream Poll, conducted by ORC International. They feel the dream — however they define it — is out of reach.
Young adults, age 18 to 34, are most likely to feel the dream is unattainable, with 63% saying it’s impossible. This age group has suffered in the wake of the Great Recession, finding it hard to get good jobs.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 36 percent of Americans under the age of 35 own a home. That is the lowest level that has ever been measured.

Right now, approximately one out of every six men in the United States that are in their prime working years (25 to 54) does not have a job.

25 percent of all American adults do not even have a single penny saved up for their retirement.

The New Truth

We cannot survive alone here in America with a traditional “JOB” (Just Over Broke) or under whatever your case maybe. So what is the answer?

Donald Trump endorses network marketing as a great way to earn an awesome income from home. Now I know what you’re thinking it’s a scam. Really then …….
Why are women the top producers in network marketing? 89% of women are top earners. If network marketing was a scam then why is it so successful?

PLAN B IS NOW!

Have you got a PLAN B? Have you had the OPPORTUNITY? The time is NOW!

The Golden Circle

Networking, Ted Talks, Uncategorized

Have you ever watched the video by Simon Sinek titled, “Starts With Why”?  He makes interesting points to ponder on.

All great leaders think, act and follow the same way.  Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King and the Wright Bother’s for example.  They communicate the exact same way.  It is the complete opposite of everyone else and from what we are taught in sales and marketing techniques.  All Simon Sinek did was “codify” it.    What he did next totally made sense to me.  The light bulb in my head went on and I am approaching my business in the same way.

Draw a target on a piece of paper.  Make three circles,  one big, one smaller inside the big one and then another smaller one inside that one.  Then inside the smallest circle write in “Why”, the middle circle write in “How”, and in the outside larger circle write in “What”.

The Golden Circle

For example, he talks about #Apple and how they’re easy to understand, and everyone gets it.  Most marketing and sales are done by things like, “We make great computers.  They’re beautifully designed, simple to use, and user-friendly.  Want to buy one? “

What’s the difference with Apple?  Here’s how they actually communicate.  “Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quot.  We believe in thinking differently.  The way we challenge the status quot is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use, and user-friendly.  We just happen to make great computers.  Want to buy one?”

     Remember that people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it! 

If you talk about what you believe, you will attract those who believe what you believe! Market from the point of view to find out ‘why” they need your product or services, not “what” they need.  How are you approaching your marketplace niche?  From the inside out or the outside in?  You can watch the entire video at the link below.

The Golden Circle

Leaders inspire us. 

We follow leaders for ourselves, not for them.  Remember to ask yourself, “Why”.  You have the ability to inspire those around you or to find others who inspire them.

As Always,

Lahaina

Human Trafficking, human traffiking, Illuminati, Uncategorized

This work is not mine! I am sharing the work of drue86.

Lahaina is considered one of the most expensive places in the world. TheLahaina Fire is an attack conducted by their police dept & government officials. The more I’ve dug into this, the more sinister the story is becoming.

Hawaiian government officials are controlled puppets by the [DS] cabal — connect to CIA, UN, Gates Foundation, Bilderberg & Davos group. Many know that there’s a media blackout of a 12 mile range around the city. They do not want The People to leak out the truth of what’s happening.

No one is missing. They are dead — burnt alive. Over 1000 are dead. This was 1000% a Direct Energy Weapon (DEW) attack by drones — along with arson.

BA-AL (Barium & Aluminum) chemtrails were sprayed to create intense heat & radiation microwaves — to produce super high heat, activated by 5G towers. Hawaii has dark [DS] puppet officials & they heavily enforced the vaccine agenda. Many Hawaiians were jabbed with nano-particles — connect 5G, chemtrails, DEW, the radiation & heat. This created an active microwave & anything anything metal inside a microwave — explodes. This is how cars, metal & car rims were melted, which need extreme heat to do so. The weaponization of 5G will be coming out. The usage of 5G in Lahaina will be exposed.

Smart cars were used as bombs. Cars with full tanks of gas were strategically placed also explode like bombs. The power was not shut down & transformers exploded. Road were closed down & police added barricades & road blocks to prevent People from leaving. Warning sirens were turned off through the city & island. The water was intentionally shut off by water official Kaleo Manuel — who was ordered not to release water. He just resigned.

All donations to help Lahaina community are being blocked on social media & payment platforms. Instead [DS] donations are being set up to steal the money again — like Obama asking for help. This money will never go towards the residences.

The motive is also a land grab as Maui is a destination for their smart ’15-minute’ city, but the locals have refused to sell their land. They have been using ‘celeb puppets’ like Oprah to purchase massive acres of Maui. The fires only burned in the local & working areas — where they did not want to sell the land, but not where the rich & wealthy lived at.

Maui & Hawaii is also another hub for pedophile rings, human & child trafficking — being an island in the middle of no where is a perfect place as a hub.

Spring, The Season of Renewing and Rejuvenation!

challenges, Daylightsavings, Healthcare, Mental Health, Promptly Written, Uncategorized

Spring Essay Writing Contest response on Medium.com.

Springtime is here. I love the smell of flowers blooming, and the trees are beginning to show new buds and leaves. It’s a time for renewing and rejuvenation. Webster’s Dictionary defines the word renew as a transitive verb meaning to make like new: restore to freshness, vigor, or perfection: to make new spiritually: REGENERATE: to restore to existence: REVIVE.

Nature isn’t the only thing springing into the renewal process, this is the time when we should be evaluating our relationships with others. Reflecting on hurtful relationships can be very painful however, it can also be the perfect way to express those hidden feelings. I’ve found that when I can’t speak to an individual, writing down my thoughts, in turn, aids my soul in breaking free from the pain.

One way I like to free my feelings is through journaling.

Why Should You Keep a Journal?

Using a daily journal is good for one’s mental health. Jeremy Sutton Ph.D. points out some great reasons to journal in his article titled; 5 Benefits of Journaling for Mental Health. Which includes reducing anxiety, encouraging awareness, regulating emotions, and decreasing blood pressure.

A research study performed by Baikie & Wilhelm, 2005, p. 339 Baikie & Wilhelm, 2005, p. 339 showed that by capturing our thoughts and feelings on paper, the “participants often reveal a considerable range and depth of emotional trauma”.

It was reported that a wide range of physical, cognitive, and emotional benefits come from expressive writing. A few examples the study found were that writing down our thoughts:

* Lowers blood pressure

* Enhances a happier mood

* Reduces stress and anxiety

* Decreased loss wages

* Improved Psychological Well Being

These are just a few. I encourage you to read the articles to gain more insight into this topic.

The Journal I Recommend

One of my favorite tools to use is the Self-Care Journal just $13.95, this will take the user on a self-guided way to journal. It’s filled with guided prompts and simple activity logs for the night and daytime to assist you in a 90-day journey of self-awareness.

Music is Good For the Soul

Another way we can improve our mental health and increase the rejuvenating process is through music.

Music plays a huge part in soothing and healing the mind, body, and spirit. The frequency of music has multiple benefits.

During my research, I ran across this interesting article; Healing Frequencies of The Human Body; Full List and Benefits.

Sound frequency has been used to treat many ailments of the body. Such as insomnia, anxiety, stress, depression, and diseases of the nervous system.

Frequencies start at 40Hz and run up to 963Hz. Each sound affects a different part of the body.

What is Sound Frequency Healing?

Sound healing, alternatively known as Sound Therapy or Vibrational Medicine, is the practice of using sound and frequency for relaxation, healing, and personal development.

Frequency, as it relates to sound, is the rate at which something vibrates or repeats. In the context of frequency healing, these vibrations are the waves that are emitted when sound is produced by instruments such as the human voice, drums, tuning forks, and gongs among many others!

Spring is a time for a change. A time for all things to become new.

I live in Colorado and one of the most irritating facts about Springtime in Colorado is changing the clocks for Daylight Savings Time. In the spring we move the clocks forward an hour, and in the fall they get changed back an hour. Gain an hour or lose an hour of sleep. Either way, it makes no sense to me since the reasons it was acted into law are no longer valid.

I won’t get on a rant about that!

Watch For Motorcycles

It’s also a time for drivers to become more aware of motorcyclists out in traffic. The warmer and longer day means it’s perfect for riding.

Some riders are on a single bike, while others are riding in groups.

Please be aware and look twice in your side mirrors because it could mean saving a life.

Wait, Stop, Hold the Presses!

While writing this essay, I had to stop due to a health emergency. My husband had to rush me to the emergency room on Sunday, March 19, 2023, with severe right-sided stomach pain and nausea.

I’d been having some stomach issues for a few weeks and thought it was the stomach flu or that it was just uncomfortable due to something I’d been eating over the past few weeks.

After what seemed to be three very long hours, I was diagnosed with appendicitis. They had me in the operating room by 10:30 pm and in the recovery room around 11:30 am. I was in a room by 2:00 am. After spending the night in the hospital, I was discharged and sent home.

Of course, recovering from surgery isn’t easy for me. I’m always busy doing something. From cleaning the house, watching my youngest grandchildren, working, writing, and whatever else comes my way.

So now, I’m trying to relax and recover. I keep telling myself to slow down, stress less, worry less, relax more, sit back, and smell the newly bloomed flowers. However, my brain is not cooperating with the idea.

While I’m recovering it’s the perfect time to practice frequency healing. One of my favorite after-surgery healing videos is Post Surgery Healing Music. Sometimes I just lay down and listen to it even without anything medical going on. You should give it a try.

In conclusion, spring will always arrive, and time will move forward leaving each one of us to figure out how, where, and when to begin our rejuvenating process.

My special thanks go out to Ravyne Hawke on Medium for doing her Promptly Written Challenges on Medium.com.

I am looking forward to participating in more of these writing prompts and challenges.

Happy 303 Day Colorado

303 Day, Celebrate, Uncategorized

This post may contain affiliate links. In the event of a sale, I get rewarded a small commission, at no extra cost to you. These funds help me keep my blog up and running to provide you with great content so thank you!*

I found out today that this is Denver’s 14th annual 303 Day.

us-images.blogspot.com

I’m a Colorado native.  Born and raised in this beautiful and majestic state.  I never knew celebrating Denver’s first area code was an actual thing.

Celebrations are happening all across Colorado. 

Below, I’ve linked my favorite five articles of celebrations and how Colorado got it’s first area code.

Using the  DuckDuckGo browser, I came across Uncover Colorado .  I never knew that this newsletter, magazine was a great resource for all things Colorado.  Mind Blowing!

Flyer for Channel 93.3’s 303 Day celebration at Mission Ballroom. Photo by: Channel 93.9

Westword Magazine has a whole article on Celebrate the 303 From Crocks to Cannabis.  It’ a very interesting article to read.  I suggest that you take the time to look it over, and see if there’s anything new to learn about Denver, Colorado.

Did you know that Colorado had a 303 Magazine?  No, me either.  I signed up today and will be getting their newsletter of all the great information and things to do in Denver and Colorado. 

One of Colorado’s oldest newspapers The Denver Post, has written an article by their arts and entertainment reporter, John Wenzel titled, How to celebrate Denver’s 303 Day? With live music, food, and drink deals.

As promised, Colorado got it’s 303 area code back in 1947.  The 303 area code is used primarily for Denver and its surrounding suburbs. It was one of the first 86 original numbering plan areas (NPAs) created in 1947 when AT&T introduced direct distance dialing to every major city in America.

Then in 1988 it was split up into two other parts 719 and 970, then again in 1995 the area code 720 was added.

All in all, I think celebrating area code 303 is an awesome thing to celebrate. After all, it was my original area code until 2002, when I got a new cell phone. I was sad like Carrie Bradshaw was in the Sex and The City movie scene where she had to get a new area code.

Please provide feedback in the comment section.
