Making the coming year a success

Posted by: Deborah Talalay Posted on: 20/12/2011 , , , ,

So, how do you expect the coming year to turn out?
Are you expecting your clients to tighten their belts and to no longer need you?
If so – what are you planning to do about it?

If you are self employed – remember that you are providing goods or a service which adds value to your clients’ lives. Even though you may consider that what you do is frivolous and probably dispensable, you might be astonished to discover that especially in times of economic depression, these are the things that keep your clients spirits up, and to them your service or product is not a luxury but a necessity.

It’s easy to listen to the news and to be affected by the terrible economic predictions. It’s easy to assume that your business will be affected and that people will not have the money for your services. It is very easy to feel anxious and discouraged, and that will be the message that you give your clients.

But your clients aren’t there to cheer you up, and if they sense your discouragement many of them will look elsewhere – because the last thing they need right now is to catch your depression.

If you keep yourself positive, stay cheerful and make it your business to cheer them up they will feel better for being around you. What everyone loves is to hear about success and to be associated with success. It attracts like a magnet.

When someone presents themselves as being completely confident that they can give you what you need and want – then even though it might be expensive for you – you start to think of ways of finding that money.

So how do we go about being that confident in ourselves and convincing others that they need our services and products?
First – don’t buy into the depression.
Don’t think for your clients – don’t turn them away with your belief that you know how they’re thinking and that they are about to abandon you.
Allow them to want you.

If you provide a service, think how you might help clients to feel better during these difficult times.
What can you add to the service you provide?
Just offering a cup of tea adds value and gives the client a feeling of being looked after and cared for.
Do you need to be more flexible in your hours?
Do you need to lay on transport so people can reach you easily?

There are all sorts of ways that take the difficulties out of people using your services.

If you are selling a product
Do you need to offer a better money back guarantee to make it safer for someone to make the decision to buy?
Do you need to research and define your niche market and then go all out to explain to them why they need what you can provide?

Success so often depends on sitting down and taking the time to think about where your real market is – and then devising a strategy to target that market.

Then take a good hard look at yourself.
Are you presenting yourself in a way that will attract people to you?
How is your posture – it speaks volumes!!!!!!!!!
Are you positive about yourself?
Remember it is quite difficult to fake it. If you feel that you aren’t up to scratch – others will understand that even though you might not say a word. It will be apparent in your body language.

Here are a few ideas
• Take the time to improve on your skills. This will give you fresh energy and motivation.
• Perhaps think of presenting yourself differently – change your hairstyle or dress in different colours and styles. This will wake people up to you – so you’re no longer just part of the landscape.
• Make an honest evaluation of your state of mind – your expectations and your fears – then do something about it.
The best investment you can make is in yourself.
If you have just been getting by – make an effort to improve yourself. If you are anxious or fearful, get someone to help you understand why and to help you change it.
The time and effort you invest in yourself will make you into the person who is confident and able to attract business and success.

How to overcome fears about your financial future and expect and achieve success in today’s economic climate

Posted by: Deborah Talalay Posted on: 07/12/2011

I’ve noticed an undercurrent of fear among clients who are wondering whether their business and jobs will survive the coming months. Despite the doom and gloom in the press I believe that it is possible to thrive in this economy and know that the surge in negativity can be overcome by a change in perception

The negativity surrounding the economy is high, and the expectation that we can pull ourselves out of trouble in the near future becomes lower with every fresh statement from the treasury and the economists. The general atmosphere of fear and despair in the air is almost tangible – it doesn’t have to be this way.

Because the constant stream of bad news has made us fearful and depressed – we are no longer able to envision growth, success and a good outcome. The more we expect the ceiling to come crashing in – the more we modify our behaviour and strategy to ensure that it does.
When we expect an event to happen – it often does, precisely because we have invited it on an energy level.

Our reality is the outcome of our expectations.

I have had several clients say they were expecting a thin time of it. That they were expecting that their regulars would choose to go to the cheapest rival and that no-one would really want their particular skill right now. Other clients who work on a contract basis have been very fearful that contracts would not be renewed and that if nothing happened soon they would not pick up further work till after the New Year. There has been a strong fear that employers would not wish to pay the asking price for their services and that they would have to make substantial discounts to even stay in the running.

Things haven’t changed that much in recent weeks. What has changed has been the perception. Yes, it is true that many people have lost their jobs and many more will continue to do so. But that is not only a reflection of the current state of the economy – but also a reflection of the loss of heart and the expectation of a massive downturn. We are witnessing a contraction in the market due to the fear of recession which results in the downturn in investment and spending. It’s like everyone has taken a back seat and will not commit to growth or expansion until they see how things are developing. And of course – so many people opting out of growth all at once results in the very contraction that has been feared and brings the economy to a standstill.

I have spent a lot of time recently talking with clients who have lost heart and who are expecting to be laid off or underemployed. I have given Theta Healing to remove the belief that
• their worst expectations are guaranteed to happen
• for the belief that they are too old and younger people will be given the contracts they were expecting
• That they are no longer needed
• That their skills were no longer relevant
• That they needed to heavily discount their fees
• That if they don’t have a contract now – there won’t be anything for months.

If a prospective job candidate believes some or all of the above, they are going to present themselves in an entirely different light to one who feels assured that he or she is the right person for the opening. The upbeat candidate will convince his interviewers that if they employ him, the company will gain such benefit from his expertise that the asking fee is really moderate and is very good value.

Several of my clients have won contracts and been given jobs that they were originally convinced they had very little hope of getting. One man told me that far from abandoning him, his clients had given him so many commissions that he had employed someone to help him.

When confident and motivated, we can attract work and success to ourselves even in times of recession, and we can inspire others to become more optimistic.

When we have the expectation of success it is far more likely that we will convince others to help and support us in achieving that.

When we have the expectation of meltdown then however hard we try to disguise it, we show our despair and fear and contribute to the general malaise.

I would like to see us all change our negative expectations into positivity and excitement.
The recession won’t stand a chance!
