| The REAL Formula to Work 4 Hours/Day and Make Millions |
|
This client wanted to reach his goals but continually found ways not to do the work he needed to get there. He had a mental block to success. That’s not something a marketing consultant can fix. He kept rescheduling sessions, then another to “get the work done” but it never did. I knew that if he was ever to reach his goals he had two choices: get through his success block that was stopping him from doing the work or outsource those tasks so someone else would get it done. Beyond that, I couldn’t help him much more. He wanted revenue growth. He calculated how many new appointments his website needed to provide his salesman in order to grow. To have a solid lead generating website you need to generate exponential traffic with the help of SEO professionals and a working cross media strategy. Unfortunately, he loved doing the website work himself. I tried to convince him that he was more valuable to his business elsewhere, but he insisted. His website looks nice, but I doubt the conversion ratios are very high. I parted ways with this client.
As I walked up my driveway the correlations between these two clients and others who were similarly success averse came to mind: they all had visions of how their business should be that were not consistent with their intended market or current business model. Many small businesses today are falling prey to seminars, CD programs and wild promises made by “coaches”. I’ve realized that many of my success procrastining clients have been wooed by gurus and really do think they can work 4 hours/week doing only the “fun stuff” and make millions.

About three months ago following a client session, I was completely depressed. It was disheartening. I was always so energized with helping and the excitement my clients had, but this guy was different. So that I wouldn’t carry this feeling around all day I
