I’m so happy to be here with you today. I have to say, I have the absolute best clients on the planet. Everyone of you are a blessing with unique gifts, amazing hearts full of love and an unshakable desire to be in service.

It pays to not work with everyone because then you get to work with whom you choose to work with.

I haven’t always been so lucky. When I first started my own practice I would work with anyone who would pay me (and yes, I did freebies too). I was basically in “anything for money” mode. Whew, I’m thrilled those days are behind me.

Want to know my turning point?

A huge, life changing shift occurred when I clearly identified my passion; what do I want to do?

This may sound over simplified; I understand. I went through it myself. Getting crystal clear on your passion can be quite a challenge, especially for us entrepreneurs who are talented in so many different areas and have so many interests. It’s easy to be all over the board with what you offer for clients, or potential clients (the goal, of course, is to help them become raving, paying clients).

Getting clear on your passion is crucial because:

• You cannot create a clear and compelling marketing message until you do
• You attract clients that you love spending time with
• You can’t wait to get up in the morning and do more of what you love
• You love what you do so much that you would do it for free – but you don’t have to
• You easily shine at sharing your passion and this attracts more clients to you
• Everything flows easily and effortlessly – it’s fun and rewarding.

Action Step

Sit down in a quiet, uninterrupted space and ask yourself: “If I could do anything I want, how would I choose to spend my day? How would I choose to help others?

What is it that you could do all day and still feel energized at the end of the day?
What would you do for free just because you love it?
What if you knew nobody would judge you for your choice? Would you make the same choice?

Spend time with this and go deeper than the first surface answer that comes to you. If you would like help with this life changing process, contact us. We’re here to help you succeed at what you love.
