Your Success and Fear of Being Alone

Before I made any serious money, my biggest recurring fear was this: If I really go for it in my business, and become the success I know I can be, and truly allow myself to become fully self-expressed, I'll be all alone. 

As the saying goes, it's lonely at the top, right?

Oh, how wrong I was.

When I realized kept using this fear from growing my business, I decided to use the following mantra every time it reared it's ugly little head.

My success brings me and my loved ones closer together.

My success brings me and my loved ones closer together.

My success brings me and my loved ones closer together.

Today, I write this while my son naps from the private, lake front cabin I rented.

The rest of my family - my husband, my brother, my mom and stepdad play by the water's edge and relax in cozy Adirondack chairs overlooking the amazing view. Renting a lake house has always been a dream of mine.

Drew's brother Matt and two of his children just arrived. And hopefully, we'll see Drew's NYC sister Mary and her family, later this week when they make the drive up.

And we even met some really cool people who live next door.

I promise you, being successful is not at all lonely.

Your success can bring the people you love and treasure closer to together.

Here's to creating your version of success,

Summer Biz Tip: "Back to School" Clothing Idea for Wellness Pros

Part 2 in a series of inspiring food-for-thought posts for when you’re focused on enjoying summer AND having a successful practice.

Most wellness pros take the time to figure out what colors they will use in their branding, website and print marketing materials.

Yet it’s also important to reflect on the best clothing colors that will represent you in the best possible light and, what colors will be an authentic expression of who you are and what you do.

Even if you wear only t-shirts and dress casually, the colors you wear have a profound influence on whether people say YES to your services and to working with you.

When you wear the right color for your skin tone, it draws people to you. It helps people relax and feel good around you. It also helps people understand you and your working style.

It's really a unique expression of who you are.

And let's face it: we live in a physical world and your clothing and the colors that you wear express a powerful message about you. We may not like that, but it's the way it is.

And so it is, when you wear the wrong colors, it can feel abrasive and a little off-putting. It can essentially feel "off-message".

This isn’t about fashion. It’s an energy thing.

The first place to start is to decipher if your color palette falls mostly within the Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer colors.

You only have to look at nature to see what colors express each season. You may be a bright Spring, or a light Spring. Or a end of Summer palette or look best in the colors of early Summer. Or a bold Autumn or quiet Winter. (I'm a Soulfully Rich Winter! Having a name like this helps me make good choices when I go shopping. You can make one up for yourself too.)

Where most people make a mistake is wearing colors they like, rather than what looks best on them.

And the color ends up wearing them, rather then enhancing the person behind the outfit.

So when it comes time to reflect on your branding and messaging this fall, consider spending a little time thinking about the colors you wear.

It really helps.

Listen to me interview Kailash Sozzani, the woman who taught me the importance of color and wearing your own “feathers”, for The Wellness Professional Network. You'll learn how not everyone should wear "basic black", the four color seasons, each season's personality and much more. Take this call to the beach and let it inspire you to invest in clothing in colors that helps you feel and look your best.

Summer Biz Tip: Facing the Fear of Being Seen

Part 1 in a series of inspiring food-for-thought posts for when you're focused on enjoying summer AND having a successful practice.

After a long week, my husband Drew and I decided to visit family for a little nurturing R&R.

Our first stop, visiting "Da Nuns." Drew's Aunts, two wildly independent nuns who started their own ministry helping children of migrant farm workers, truly walk their talk of living a life of faith.

They provide a safe haven for children who would otherwise not have a childhood, offering summer camps, day trips, education, and endless low-no fee services to hard working families. Suffice it to say it's an amazing place. You can't be in their presence without feeling loved up, cared for, and reconnected to your own faith in this thing called life.

Another reason we came to visit them was to share our ideas about expanding their impact and income stream by creating a website, blog, and offering online donation options to their charitable donors. You see, we get their twice annual print newsletters and attend their annual picnic. Each time we visit, either by newsletter update or in person, we hear amazing stories of real people trying to make it in this country. It's inspiring, humbling, and calls you to action. By creating a medium to share their work and success stories via a simple website and blog, we knew that others would be called to support their work too.

When we presented our ideas to their financial board for taking their stories online and automating their donation system, there came a moment in the conversation that I feel every wellness or "change your life" practitioner faces.

"What if we get negative feedback? What if people lash out at us? We've been underground for years, and not everyone is going to like what we do here, helping migrant familes. What if the world at large isn't ready for what we're doing? We're not familiar with the technology of the internet, how will ever make this work for us?"

Translation: The fear of being seen.

This is where many wellness practitioners stumble in this phase of business growth. The fear of "what ifs." And sadly, many freeze up, consciously or not, and decide the risks are too high to be truly seen.

Drew, a superb coach, shared this bit of wisdom with the group. "There comes a time in your work, when you must make a decision whether to open up and share your heart and message with the world or not. But here's the catch. You can't just open up a little. You have to open completely and be willing to be seen. In this willingness, you open yourself up to receiving the gifts the universe has to offer you in return for your good works."

In response, it took one phrase to bring the heart of the matter back on the table. My Aunt-in-Law, Sister Pam, followed with this.

"You either live your life in faith or in fear."

There's no middle ground. You may momentarily forget, after all, we are human. But you've gotta choose one or the other.

They quickly reconnected with their faith and purpose of their work and made the decision to follow their faith rather than let their fear lead the way.

So they didn't let the unknown factors of world wide web stop them. They asked questions, clarified any confusing points, and immediately (and wisely) outsourced this project to someone who loved the idea of taking it on.

The question naturally arises….

Are you leading your business in faith or in fear?

It's an edge. It can be scary. You may take some criticism.

Oh, but what a ride it will be.

To your continuous professionale expansion,

Karin

Weekend Sale! New Home Study Course

Okay, okay, I'm sorry! I've been getting emails asking why I only released my home study course yesterday to a select group of people.

Let me explain...

I only meant to treat my close clients and their friends a little extra special.

But I guess it kinda back fired.

Now I have a bunch of wellness pros breathing down my neck, sending me notes on facebook and writing my assistant.

Even one from the Ukraine!

So to make up for any misunderstanding, not only am I opening the doors right NOW, I'm also giving you the client and friends coupons to save BIG.

Below is the pre-sale invitation I sent to my clients yesterday, including the $100 off coupon that ends this Sunday, August 7th, at Midnight.

Check it out... (and now you can stop emailing me already.) :)

---

I feel so neked. ;)

If you read my email from earlier this week, then

you know what I’m referring to. (I hope the ninja

mindset secrets were helpful. I received quite a

few funny emails from that!)

Now I’m finally ready to pull back the curtains.

Introducing my new home study course…

The Fast Start to Clients Program:

8 Weeks to Jumpstart Your Practice Success in

Holistic Health and Wellness

I created it to help you re-design and re-launch

your business around what really works in the

wellness field (or show you the ropes if you’re a

newbie) WITHOUT a fancy pants website, WITHOUT a

brand and WITHOUT needing an amazing social media

presence.

Things like how to charge, creating programs that

sell, what to say in your first session to have

people say YES, how to invite people to that first

session in a variety of different and effective

ways and lots of mindset stuff to help your inner

game too.

It’s my “keep it simple and get your practice off

the ground” program.

You can go here now to check it out:

http://www.FastStartToClients.com

And because you’re one of my special “advance

notice” friends, I want to give you first dibs on

a few bonuses…

1)       The Weekend Sale - Only for you and your friends!

If you want a copy for yourself or perhaps you

would like to share your “in the know” good

fortune with a friend, I’m offering $100 off the

program for this weekend only Aug 5-7 (full-pay option

only).

This weekend sale will expire this Sunday, August 7th at

Midnight.

You can use it yourself and/or share with a friend

or two or three or more.

When you check out, just enter the word “friend”

in the coupon box -and the online shopping cart

will calculate your savings.

Please note, this is for the full-pay option only.

2)       Free Shipping!

Until this Sunday, August 7th, Midnight I’m

offering free shipping on the full pay AND 3-pay

option.

That’s an additional savings of $16 - $32,

depending where you live.

Enter the coupon code: "shipfree" when you check out

(I love free shipping, don’t you?)

3)       The First 30 People…

The first 30 people who take action and grab a

copy will be invited to a small group coaching

call in September to ask me ANYTHING about their

business and this program.

I love these intimate coaching calls with plenty

of time for in-depth Q&A.

I think they’re fun and my clients find them very

rich in practical step-by-step support and biz

wisdom from my 10+ years of self-employment and 5+

years as a wellness pro.

My assistant Heidi will notify you next week if

you’re one of the first 30.

I wanted to give you a head start before I open

this up to my entire email list next week.

4)       And just for fun…

When you grab your copy, you’ll start receiving a

few of my “get the most out of this program” email

tips to keep you focused on results while you wait

for the mail carrier to hand deliver your materials.

I’ll share my nerdy little secrets that I turn to,

time and time again, to ensure I get results from

the many home study courses I invest in each year.

My clients love it when I share this stuff.

Alright, get to it!

Here’s the link again:

http://www.FastStartToClients.com

And don’t forget the coupon codes above!

(You'll need to type them in, one at a time)

They expire this Sunday night.

Got questions? Email my assistant Heidi at

Members@WellProNet.com and she’ll help you out.

To your success,

Karin

P.S. Make sure you check out the quirky video I

did from my observation deck on our property.

How to Follow-Up After Your Initial Consultation

My first business coach, Fabienne Fredrickson, shared this simple, yet powerful strategy with me many years ago and now I’ll share it with you. When you follow-up with a potential client (or opportunity), it needs to be all about them. Not you. Wellness professionals unknowingly make the mistake of following-up with an email message that is all about their experience, their program and the process of working with them. This doesn’t create connection or action for your client.

In my “drafts” folder of Outlook, I keep a very simple follow-up email that I tailor to each client situation for authenticity, warmth and taking a stand for what I know is possible for them. And I send this email immediately after having an initial consultation.

I use this type of email script in two different situations:

1) Clients who have just signed up for one of my packages.

I like to “re-enroll” my new clients and reassure them that the big chunk of money they just put down will bring them the results they desire.

I do this by sending a “welcome” message, (and this is the really important part) reiterating the top 5-10 things they can look forward to in our work together. This list is gleaned from listening to them in my preliminary consultation.

This will help them review what they signed up for, give their brains something to chew on (and thus help them relax) and soothe their nerves around taking a big step forward in their business (or in the case of your business, their wellness).

This is also something they can easily print out and show their partner/husband who’s wondering what they just spent money on. It’s written in “results oriented language” so their partner can see what they’re going to get, too.

Here’s an example of this:

Hi Jenny,

I’m thrilled that you’re in my schedule for March and can’t wait to get started on creating your unique message and materials.

I love doing this work – I admit it, I’m a total marketing geek and find this work FUN.  :)

Based on our preliminary conversation, here are some things you can look forward to: (I’ll write this part with words and concerns they expressed in our conversation)

-   All the marketing materials you need to launch your business big time including

-    Identifying a profitable, enjoyable niche for you to serve and finally getting clear what you do and for whom

-   Organizing your ideas into programs and products that not only  help others, but make you money

-   Pricing your services so it's easier to hire you and understanding how to charge what you're services are worth

-   Designing a clear focus and direction in your business that speaks to who you are and what you’re about

- Understanding how to use your new materials to give you a new level of confidence in how you present yourself (giving that fraud factor a swift kick out the door)

-   Simple, practical strategies for using your new materials that creates ease in how you work and attracts new clients and business growing opportunities

-     and a lot more for sure!

Jenny, I’m ready and can’t wait to talk with you in the Spring! (What a nice way to go through the holidays, knowing you got this handled!)

If questions pop up before then, just contact me.

Until then,

Karin

PS – Attached are two forms outlining the program you chose and the details of working together.

(By the way, I'd also send a little welcome card in the mail too, to make them feel extra special.)

2) Clients who need a few days to think about it.

About half of these clients will sign up and the other half are simply not ready to invest in themselves for one reason or another. In any case, I do the same thing with these potential clients.

I send them an “it was nice to chat with you today” and “here’s what I understand you’re looking to achieve” and then I list a 5 -10 specific goals they shared with me in their first consultation that I can solve for them and, (and here’s the really important part) the benefits they can expect to experience as a result of achieving these goals.

The only time I do not send this is when I don’t want to work with a client after speaking with them or I didn’t get a strong sense that they were ready to move forward (I don’t like to convince people).

Hi again Jane!

I’m glad we had an opportunity to talk today. I enjoyed getting to know you and about your business vision.

Based on our conversation, here’s what I understand you’d like to accomplish: (I’ll write this part with words and concerns they expressed in our conversation)

-   outline a super clear idea of what you do, who you do it for and for how much

-   create content on your website that reflects this clearly, powerfully and in your own style

-   relax knowing you also have content to put into a media kit to begin presenting yourself as the expert you are

-   feel ready to go by having clear, profitable programs & packages that sell themselves

-  create a clear approach or "signature system" to your work that you can stand behind that helps you distinguish your services from others

-   design a clear message and business identity that expresses your work effectively  and authentically

-   and quite a few more perks!

I’m ready when you are Jane. I love creating a unique message for my clients. It's a fascinating process of gaining clarity, renewed confidence and a whole new level of prestige.

Let me know if you have any further questions or need any clarifications. If you’d like to move forward, then we can start on the 20^th. Otherwise, I look forward to connecting next Wednesday. (Set a follow-up date where they call YOU back in the following week)

Talk with you soon!

Karin

In both cases, my clients feel understood and know that I have a grasp of what’s going on for them and what they want to achieve. By the way, you can also use this format for following-up with potential speaking engagements.

I hope this is helpful! Consider taking these two scripts and adapting them to your practice.

It's such a simple thing but it really works! It's just one of the super, simple systems I use, again and again, right after my initial consultation.

5 books to transform your wellness biz and your life

I received a Kindle for Christmas. It comes empty and ready for you to add books (my favorite thing in the world!).

The ability to instantly download a book is incredibly alluring for this voracious reader.

I’m curious to see how reading from this little computer will be, as I do love everything about the printed page.

So, if you’re like me; and wondering what to add to your new Kindle (or simply what to order from the bookstore or your library) then consider these five transformational books that are good for your practice and your personal life.

It’s Hard to Make a Difference When You Can’t Find Your Keys by Marylyn Paul

I never used to be organized until I started my private practice. I realized that if I didn’t get my paper clutter under control, I was never going to get to the business of helping others for a living. Ten years later, I still use what I learned from working with a professional organizer. I couldn’t help but to pick this book up with such a compelling title. This book is designed to help you heal what is at the root of those piles of papers on your desk, your disorganized car, or even if you just find yourself wasting time trying to find your wallet or your keys each day. It’s beautifully written in a loving, gentle tone and has great questions that helped me, someone who thinks they’re pretty organized, truly see every single environment as a reflection of my deepest values. I believe that being organized “enough” (you get to decide what that is!) is one of the essential skill sets for being successful in private practice.

Making Ideas Happen: Overcoming Obstacles Between Vision and Reality by Scott Belsky

I’ve come to realize that every single person has great ideas. However, I am no longer impressed with people’s ideas. What’s really impressive to me is someone who is able to get those ideas out into the world and into the hands of their tribe. This book about getting things done is specifically written for creative professionals (like wellness pros!). It’s the first book of this genre that I’ve seen treat projects holistically, and with respect for how the creative person thinks, feels, and engages their work. Brilliant!

The Practitioner’s Journey: The Path to Success for Alternative, Holistic and Integrative Health Professionals by Dan Clements and Tara Gignac, ND

My colleague, Dan Clements and his wife Tara Gignac, not only understand the business of wellness, they also run a successful naturopathic clinic in Canada. This book explains how to become profitable in private practice through an interesting story line that is designed to make all the business stuff palatable to the wellness pro new to marketing, strategizing, and making time to grow your practice. I highly recommend that you read this book if you want to “get” the importance of leading your practice without feeling like you’re reading a dry business book. The authors also feature a few of my clients so that’s kinda cool too. (Dan also wrote another exceptional book on how to take regular sabbaticals from your work without killing your business.)

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? by Seth Godin

Seth Godin is hands-down my favorite guru of marketing wisdom. There hasn’t been one single book or blog post that he’s written where I haven’t totally agreed with him and wished I had thought of it first. This was my favorite book of 2010. Just get it. Especially look for the part about dealing with your inner resistance. But mostly for the timely advice on what it takes to succeed in today’s economy, whether you’re in private practice or working for the man.

The One-Life Solution: Reclaim Your Personal Life While Achieving Greater Professional Success by Dr. Henry Cloud

I used to be a workaholic, and proud of it. I thought since I was doing meaningful work, it was okay. Then I decided to make other people in my life a priority. What a shocker it was to realize you can’t work at all hours of the day and night and still have good quality of life with your friends and family. Five years later, I’m proud to say I’m over that B.S. story that I bought into. This book, while written for the corporate type, is about learning to set up healthy boundaries in and out of the office. This is incredibly relevant because 99.9% of wellness pros are of the “love to give” and “need to help others” sort. That means you give and give and give, often at the cost of your financial and personal well-being. If you want to prevent the typical cycle of burn out, resulting in client resentment, and succeed in the wellness field for years to come, you must develop the ability to set empowering boundaries that are good for you, good for your business, and good for your clients. This book will show you how.

WellProNet Tele-Training: How to Talk About What You Do, Nov 4

Do you really have to create the PERFECT 30-second one-liner to explain your wellness services? Maybe, if you spend most of your time going to professional networking events and cocktail parties as a marketing strategy.

For those of you who cringe at that idea, I have a better approach.

I would like to show you how to HAVE A MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION about your work, that will naturally guide the person you're connecting with to decide if continuing a professional relationship with you makes sense for them.

I have found that these types of authentic conversations between two people (be it at a party, in a one-on-one networking situation, telephone chat, coffee date or meeting) follow a series of questions that if you know how to answer, in a relaxed and confident manner, will be infinitely more client attractive than some elevator speech.

In this month's WellProNet training I'm going to share with you what these questions are and how to answer them effectively and authentically.

In fact, once you start using this approach to talking about what you do, you'll be amazed how often these conversations flow using THE EXACT SAME QUESTIONS. So in no time you'll become really good at answering them.

I'll also show you how to elegantly end this conversation when you sense someone is just trying to pick your brain for free info (and never plans on doing anything with it) or when someone wants to debate you on the merits of your modality. (Both have happened to me countless times as a wellness pro until I learned a few empowering tricks!)

It's all happening in the next Wellness Professional Network tele-training...

Heather comes from a long line of entrepreneurs in family business and has turned that insider knowledge into helping other entrepreneurial folks get healthy.

She joined WellProNet in Spring 2010 and here’s what she has to say about what she enjoys most from her membership:

"All of the WellProNet tele-trainings are really helpful and I am continuously blown away at how many fantastic, useful tips are shared and how Karin really breaks it down into a foolproof method to apply to my own business.

For example, in the training call on “What to Say to Decision Makers to Land Speaking Engagements” I loved the tip on how to talk about their budget in a classy way, how to ask for testimonials from your presentations, how to make the event coordinator look good (and get asked back!), and the checklist of questions to refer to (so I won't forget a thing)."

I really feel like the WellProNet membership is undervalued!

So thank you, I’m extremely happy that I joined.”

About the Author and WellProNet.com: Karin Witzig Rozell has been teaching health and wellness professionals how to grow their business since 2003. She started as a nutrition counselor who knew a lot about nutrition, but not a whole lot about business and marketing. After learning some tough lessons she cracked the code and now her passion is transforming practitioners into profitable business owners.

In 2009, she expanded her private practice and launched The Wellness Professional Network as the go-to place for practitioners to learn about making more money doing what they love.

WellProNet Featured Member: Ellie Ballentine, Mindset Mentor

Meet Ellie Ballentine.

She’s a Canadian therapist turned Mindset Mentor with a knack for helping her clients transform their setbacks and challenges into breakthroughs.

Ellie’s been a member of WellProNet since December 2009 and here’s what she has to say about being part of this professional community of wellness pros:

“I've been inspired with new ideas, refined my own ideas for my growing practice, and developed new strategies and confidence.”

Being a member of WellProNet has brought me a community of like-minded people and resources that support the marketing of my business.

What I love the most is the Topic of the Month where Karin presents an idea, challenge or marketing tool that is always pertinent to my business, and also a "Hot Topic" at the time.

She seems to keep her finger on the pulse of our growing business needs and creates the monthly “How To” topics that informs, covers the advantages and disadvantages of what she’s presenting and offers simple, actionable steps that we can take right away.

Being a part of the WellProNet community, I've been inspired with new ideas, refined my own ideas for my growing practice, and developed new strategies and confidence.

And best of all, there is a great response rate to questions within the group and the network’s resources are phenomenal!

Thanks Karin, for creating such a rich, resourceful community!”
