For Consult Monday we discuss:
First thing I suggest is to get great support:
- friends
- family
- other practice owners (they get it more)
We talk about narrowing your niche & getting clear on your ideal client’s pain points.
I implore you all to write awesome website copy
Next make a list of people who see ideal clients before you do
Send networking emails to those people (template provided)
The first and most important step in managing money
And any first month list would be severely lacking if it didn’t include Impostor Syndrome Management Techniques
