Yesterday we were talking about accountability for results. And how ultimately, results are the ONLY thing your clients care about. It was this realisation that lead me to figure out how to consistently create offers that convert.
In my experience, most consultants shy away from results. (This experience has been echoed back to me from many clients I've worked with as well.) They want to get paid the big bucks but don't want to be held accountable for the bottom line.
On the webinar last week I talked about one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself... "Which market segment would get the MOST value from working with you?" Because there are many people who can get value from your services.
The more experience you get at online marketing, the easier it is to kill a deal by giving your prospect too many options. A potential client comes to you for help, and instead of showing them THE way to solve their problem, the temptation is to tell them about all the different ways you could …

Back in 2012 I ran a training called "Email Marketing Strategies for Consultants -- How to quickly become an authority, sell under the radar, and make BIG profits from tiny lists." It covered things like:
In my experience, many people aren't where they want to be in life simply because they haven't taken enough action to learn from the feedback they've been given to build sufficient momentum of the right actions. It's often useful to think of your business as a system. And within that system are various sub-systems for …
Here in Aus we had a TV quiz show called "Who wants to be a millionaire?". Answer 15 multiple-choice questions in a row and you win a million bucks. Of course, the questions increase in difficulty each round so it's not as easy at it might seem. Often two or three of the options sound …
Every failure I've had in business can be traced back to focusing on the money. For a long time my focus was on creating a six-figure business. That was my idea of success. My thought process in those days was along the lines of, "the X market is a Y billion industry, if I can …
Do you understand the real value you provide to your clients? I'm not talking about surface level things like "I build websites" or "I save them time". I mean the deeper stuff -- how your positioning fits with their self-image, the confidence they get because of your system, the stress relief of finally finding someone …
When I first started in business I spent a few years farting around without much success. Partly because I thought if I just hung out my shingle announcing my consulting business that somehow I'd be flooded with work. And partly because I didn't have a clue what I was doing.
ASAP. How did four letters get so much power? People hear "I need this ASAP" and right on cue they rearrange their lives, cancel date night with the wife, put other projects on hold, and stay up all night to accomodate the request. We generally believe people mean "fast" when they say ASAP. But what …
Ever drive home and have no memory of the trip? Mean to stop at the grocery store but end up at home anyway? Lock your car only to check it 12 seconds later because you can't remember if you did or not. I've done these things countless times.
From the perspective of someone who needs to put food on the table, the idea of telling a prospect "no I can't do that" is scary as hell. Especially when the request is something you can figure out how to deliver. Why would any sane person turn down work?
The Internet is a breeding ground for gear heads. Everywhere you look, in every corner of every niche, there are people obsessed with the tools of the trade. Entrepreneurs who spend $1,200 per month on software and tech to automate every part of their business... but don't yet have a single client.
One of the most powerful breakthroughs you will have as a consultant is going from vendor to adviser. This change is mostly one of perception. You don't actually do much different. But the impact it has on the fees you can charge and the respect you get is enormous.
Watched a great documentary on Netflix the other day called Valley Uprising. It's about the 50 year history of rock climbing in Yosemite... and... the larger-than-life characters spanning three generations who have made their name climbing it's massive walls. Now, I'm not a climber. But it's fascinating watching people at the top of their game …
You might have seen the east coast of Australia getting belted by severe storms this past week. An intense low-pressure system combined with king tides combined to create gale-force winds and huge surf conditions. Entire beaches eroded, homes along the coast are falling into the sea, and the surf came to life. Breaks that would …
In the dating advice world there's a concept called "oneitis". It's when a guy (or girl) gets obsessed with one single person. You become infatuated and obsessed... thinking about them day and night... constantly wondering where they are and what they're up to... doing anything you can to be around them... dreaming about the life …
