Hi Friend
“Who cares what I have to say?”
“Other people are much better at it than me”
“I simply can’t afford to put together a flashy business like I see other people do”
“There’s not enough time to accomplish the things I want”
Those are only a few of the excuses, masked as “explanations” that I get every single day.
I get them from students.
…from visitors to my blog
…from mastermind partipants
…from people inquiring about one of my coaching programs
…and yes, from people on this very email list who reply to my messages
Well, it’s very simple, my friend.
The answer is all wrapped up in one word.
I feel a bit like Sesame Street, here, but let’s do it ==>
Today’s Word is… “indispensable”
That’s what you MUST become to your readers, your followers, your social media crowd.
If you want to get customers, clients, even email subscribers…
They must FIRST be convinced that you have some skill, information or business that they need.
When they are convinced of that, there’s nothing they won’t do to…
join
buy
subscribe
That means that they’ll gladly become a
member
buyer
subscriber
… to WHATEVER you offer.
And they’ll pay virtually anything to work with you on some level.
That’s how you can so easily develop a “high-end ticket” in your business or practice.
You see, people want to be part of you and your energy and your enthusiasm.
But first, they need to be convinced that what you’ve got is “indispensable” to them.
That doesn’t mean it’s
bigger
better
cheaper
than what your competition has to offer.
It just means that they are convinced that YOU can deliver something that they really want, really need, and really will gladly pay just about anything for.
If you’ve ever worked on a job, you know the deal.
The person who works overtime without pay,
or who always has a great idea,
or who always helps out no matter what…
That person becomes indispensable.
At least, in the eyes of the boss, or the company, or the supervisor etc.
It’s not because nobody else can do what they do…
it’s because they stand up and do it.
They make it clear that they are always ready, able and willing to make their boss’ life easier, better, faster, or whatever.
People cannot fathom letting that kind of thing slip away.
It becomes “indispensable” to them.
I’m sure you can become indispensable as a blogger, a mentor, an affiliate marketer, a writer, a graphic designer, or whatever it is that you offer to people.
So what’s been holding you back so far?
Is it really
time
cash
skills
knowledge.
Probably not, even though you may have blamed those kinds of things.
It’s probably because of
fear
wrong mindset
procrastination…
thing like that.
AND of course, you need to know HOW to become indispensable, don’t you?
Not knowing “how” to do something is actually what causes all the fears and procrastination.
Chances are, if you can’t figure out “how to” become indispensable in your business, you’ll probably just keep being stuck in doing little things that keep you busy,
but NEVER achieving your dreams.
Busy, busy, busy.
It feels good.
It feel right.
But it’s all wrong.
It’s what keeps you having to work a job you don’t really love, that doesn’t pay enough or give you the challenge and possiblities you want.
You don’t need to “keep busy.”
You need to ...get noticed.
You need to …be appreciate.
You need to become …indispensable.
That’s when everything changes.
So stop doing more and more.
Do less.
Far less.
But do things that will make YOU more valuable to people.
Figure out a way that YOU can actually help them in some very real, very concrete way.
Help people lose a few pounds, or make a few bucks, or have a happier marriage.
Help them reach their potential or fulfill their dreams.
Get it?
Learn ways to help your prospects, your audience, your crowd…
Then YOU will become indispensable to them.
Focus, not on your “blog” or other “online business”…
Focus on raising your core value to the people who are wiling and able to buy your products and services.
Focus on becoming indispensable.
So now, it’s your turn.
How can YOU become indispensable?
