Business Coaching with Daniel Fox

Who is your "ALIGNED" client?Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach. And today we're talking about clientsIt seems like every time I start a business, it takes me a long time to really figure out who my ideal or "aligned" client is.I have wasted so much time because I was afraid to "restrict" people from doing business with me.What did I end up with? 
- People who were working with me for the wrong reasons. 
- People who didn't take our process seriously. 
- People who looked for ways out of taking responsibility
- People who would NOT likely give me a good review if they were asked.NO ONE WANTS THAT! It's a bad situation all around. Why did it happen?Because I was more interested in getting a client or their money than I was really using my intuition and values to see if they were ACTUALLY a good fit for coaching.Here's a list of restrictions that are too vague and you need to rethink if they represent most of your client requirements:- Anyone with money
- Anyone who eats food
- All men / All women / All non-gender conforming people
- Anyone who likes music
- Anyone who needs help with ____ (where the blank is a pretty general thing like "business" or "parenting"What constitutes someone who is aligned with you? How specific do you get?If you provide a personal service, you want someone who is going to be excited to work with you. Someone with the resources to invest in themselves.If you'd like support figuring out who your ALIGNED client is, don't waste any more time and risk upset, misaligned clients that are. You're not helping the world by working with people who aren't a good match for you. Send me a message if you want some support, let's talk. I'm here to see you win.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?

When checking your intuition, there are 2 types of feelings to look for. Expansion and contraction, and also comfort and discomfort.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach. And today I want to talk a little bit about how to work with our intuition.Expansion and contraction are feelings in your body that will help you align with guidance. Comfort and discomfort are feelings that will let you know how comfortable something feels (which might mean, how used to doing it you are, how much it threatens your ego, how afraid you are that you won't be able to pull it off)Feel both things, but develop in such a way that you don't mistake one for the other. They're both in the mix.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?

I am the curator of at least one human being's attention. It doesn't sound like much, perhaps, but it's MY ENTIRE WORLD.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach. And today I want to talk a little bit about attention.To focus my attention, in a very concrete sense, changes my experience of life.I can turn my head toward a giggle. I can relax my body into my chair, it can notice tense muscles and soften them.I can deliberately choose to entertain the thought about how cool it is to be a person in a body.I can choose to stop thinking about whatever issue is causing frustration or suffering and instead marvel at the expression of other people's worlds as they speak and describe the world through their eyes.I can literally change my entire world, triggering an upward spiral of a world where love constitutes more and more of what I'm aware of.This isn't just a writing exercise. It's a curation of attention devoted to changing our entire experience of the world and moving it toward love.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?

You know how we have to put on shoes to go outside your house?Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach. And today I want to talk a little bit about commitment.Take a second and think back to the last few times you've put on shoes to leave and tell me, How have you felt about it?If the answer is - “I didn't think or feel much about putting my shoes on” then you're exactly on point with what I wanted to share.Now, Take a snapshot of that feeling (or rather, lack of feeling).This AUTOMATIC EXECUTION is exactly what we need when we're stuck.Let me say it a different way, and a little louder.STOP FEELINGJust stop it. 

This is the glory and value of Yang / Masculine energy.DO NOT CONSULT YOUR EMOTIONS when carrying out a task you have already committed to.Opening the question of “does this feel right?” “Are my motives pure?” and “what is my intuition telling me?” are all the questions that begin the spinning wheels which take you off your commitment.Are you seriously misaligned with your vision? Then, by all means, stop and reflect.But if your ailment is lack of action on something you believe in, the medicine today is top STOP FEELING and EXECUTE.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?

It's an arbitrary number, sure, but, if you're not there, it would probably feel pretty good to scale your business to $100k/year.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker, and coach. And today I want to talk a little bit about money.It's a psychological milestone that, for some, means that they can breathe easier knowing that their financial future is in their control.IT'S NOT that they're SET FOR LIFE with money, but that they're set for life knowing they KNOW HOW TO MAKE MONEY.If it's time for you to do it, you'll know.Hit me up and let's put a plan together.It's become a specialty of mine :)Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?

Doing what you hate sucks. Doing what you love is training wheels. Doing EVERYTHING with love is mastery.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach. And today I want to talk about bringing love to everything you doIt's NOT a secret of the universe that there are just some things that we don't like doing. It could be certain tasks around the house, making calls, paying taxes.There's a popular approach to work and life and It's “doing what you love”There's NOTHING wrong with doing what you love. I mean, it's better than doing what you hate!But there's something hidden in plain sight here that can change the ENTIRE game.When you look at the phrase Doing what you love, it occurs to most people that they can change what they do and thus get a better experience out of life.But not many people really take on changing what they love - and it's COMEPLTLY possible.It's not easy, and not many people may take it on, but it's the next level of growth that's available to people who want it.Doing what you love is training wheels.Bringing love to everything you do, is mastery.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?

I act weird when I get out of movies.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach. And today I want to talk a little bit about the influences we surround ourselves with.There's this thing that happens inevitably when I'm walking back to the car with the kids or whomever I'm out with, and I'll start mimicking one of the characters in the movie.My whole affect changes. My body language, my actual language, my gait, my tone of voice, even my accent.Sometimes I can't get out of it. I get stuck in character!So listen, I know that's weird and I don't expect that everyone is as susceptible to that as me, but it's something that I've decided to consciously use to my advantage.But maybe you've heard this idea? "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." It's a Jim Rohn quote.The culmination of these two ideas inspired me to engage in an old practice of consciously curating what I take in.The conscious part comes when I start asking questions:
What are my goals? 
Do I want a life similar to the person I'm listening to (and not just money, or influence, but heart and relationships and social impact and joy)?This goes for media as well as personal relationships. I want my peers to be the most successful, biggest hearted, most joyful, smart and kind people that I can find - and that has become my standard.I absolutely will hang out with people who don't have their shit together in all those ways, and that's because I value teaching and mentoring other people, (just like I have teachers and mentors).So I keep looking at the lives of the people closest to me and the media I consume because if I'm not careful, I'll end up walking around in a diaper with a dog best friend talking in a pseudo-British accent about taking over the world and no one wants that.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?

Do you know how much it costs you to get a new customer?Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, A business growth speaker and coach.I'll speak to a lot of people who are just getting started - you may not have any monetary investment in getting customers at this point.A lot of times, early customers come from friends and family and natural connections. (Which by the way, took a lifetime to build and are really hard to try to quantify).It's completely possible that you may also be benefiting from organic search engine traffic or an active social media presence.It's a little easier to quantify these things in terms of customer acquisition than it is a lifetime of relationships, but it can still be hard to pin down.What businesses who advertise understand is that there is a direct cost associated with running and advertisement and getting the right people to take action and become a customer.It may not be important data for you to have when you're just starting out, but sooner or later, if you intend to grow beyond word-of-mouth - mastering the math of customer acquisition is imperative.Thanks for listening.If you are ready to take your business to the next level, head over to speakwithdaniel.com now to see how I can help you build your business today.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?

It's so important to be committed to something larger than money.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach.Let's talk about money for a minute. In maybe the most physical sense, when it's not numbers on a screen, money is actually paper, that we can pull out of an ATM and see and touch.Now, it's a very odd person who loves money only for the sake of actually enjoying the object and aesthetic of the bills.For most of us, money isn't actually about the money itself but what it means about us and what we can do with it.Consider that you're not actually motivated in your business by money, but either what you can do with the money, or what the money means about you.I think what people do with money can be fairly obvious. You can buy a boat and travel, you can pay rent, donate it to an important cause, anything. What you DO with money is really why you want money.There's also what having money means about us - and fewer people take the time to examine. Does it mean you've made it? Does it mean you're safe or that you can let your guard down? Maybe it means that you're more likely to have the approval of a parent or important family member.These motivations are all in the mix, and the more clearly we can see them, the more we can motivate ourselves in direct and efficient ways to build our success in ways that are important to us.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?

There are a lot of ways to contextualize business.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, A business growth speaker and coach.One one hand, it's just trade - a very basic social construct. But there's another way I like to look at it.I like to see starting a business as a path to personal growth.The amount of risk that entrepreneurs take, the amount of exposure that innovators face by doing things that not many have tried to do, all while being in the public eye can feel enormously risky.Add to that your family and people who are counting on you for paychecks, and the pressure can be tremendous.Some people buckle - and there's actually nothing wrong with failed attempts and expansion. But some people are so convinced of the power of their vision that they find a way to change themselves in the face of the pressure.For me, this personal transformation is one of the most beautiful parts of owning a business.

If you're working a job, or ever have. You're probably familiar with blaming the boss when things go wrong.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach.If a project wasn't managed right, or the wrong people are on the team or they just ended up not using your work - the frustration has an outlet - THE BOSS.But you know this twist is coming.When YOU are the boss, there's no one to blame. . . and that can definitely be uncomfortable at first.Some people master it. They learn to thrive off of taking massive responsibility even when things go horribly wrong.Successful and emotionally mature business owners have learned to shift the way they view failure into an opportunity for growth.There's no one to blame when you're at the top, and that can really put some uncomfortable pressure on you to figure out how to avoid falling short next time.Growth upon growth my friends.

One of the biggest upsides of being an entrepreneur? There's virtually no ceiling on the amount of money you can make. Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, A business growth speaker, and coach. Today we're going to talk about being in control of a blue-sky financial future. Entrepreneurship has virtually no limits to the amount of wealth that you can create for yourself. Compare that to the job market. Trading the limited amount of hours that you have in week money has never been a great way to either make money OR live life! Being an entrepreneur rests on the idea of leveraging systems to make the world a better place in a scalable way. The more scalable you can make your problem solving, the more you have an opportunity to reap the benefit of it. Today is the day for you to take on the limitless possibility of making a difference in a world that just might pay you handsomely for it.

One of the best things about being an entrepreneur is that you are in control of your time. At least. . . To SOME degree.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, A business growth speaker and coach.People love the idea of sitting on a beach or traveling the world and working for themselves. It's true. As long as you don't have to be on location to serve your clients or ship your product or babysit your team, you can do it all.But there's something deeper that people miss. It's the fact that when you're really doing something that you love - something that is meaningful to you, the beach isn't all that spectacularly different from giving your best effort to serving people.But by all means if serving people from the beach is possible - get it!Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?
