Sin #1 – Taking Rejection Personally

Taking rejection personally completely derails your career and it’s the sin women are most guilty of. To overcome this pitfall, you need to gain clarity of WHY you chose your business and how it serves you and your family so you’ll have the strength to walk away from the naysayers unscathed.

Sin #2 – Confusing Being Busy with Being Productive

From a CEO’s business perspective (which is what you are as a business owner) if you’re not focusing on revenue-generating activities you’re wasting your time (as far as your business is concerned). Learn techniques that will help you intentionally set aside dedicated time and focus on activities that directly impact your bottom line while maintaining a healthy balance in your life.

Sin #3 – Not Having a Clear Vision About Your Ideal Client

You have a choice of who you work with. Gain the clarity of who that is by defining what you’re looking for in your ideal customer or joint venture partner in such great detail that you can actually visualize that person.

Sin #4 – Not Having Your Antennae Up at All Times

The next person you meet may be your new customer or business partner. Find out how to develop the positive attitude that everyone you meet has something to offer, and learn how to engage them in high-quality rich conversations.

Sin #5 - Not Having a Compelling Elevator Speech

Discover how to open a conversation with a well-prepared 20-30 second “speech” explaining how you solve the problems of your ideal client. Learn how to personalize your message to the different people you meet – capturing their attention and causing them to want to know more.

Sin #6 – Not Acknowledging that You’re Selling Something

Keep people engaged in conversation by overcoming your fear of selling and mastering the Question-Based Conversation. Learn what topics people are passionate about and how to truly listen to their concerns and wants.   

Sin #7 – Not Asking for the Business   

Become skilled at asking for the business in a more feminine way by shifting the focus off yourself to how you can be of service to others. Applying these tips will make you more comfortable doing that.
