It's a new year!!! Yup we've officially entered into the year 2025!! 2025?!?! Am I the only one who feels like I'm somehow living in "the future" even though the supposed future is now? LOL That being said, here we are at the forefront of another new beginning ;) In this episode, my first of the new year, I share my thoughts on, yup you got it, NEW BEGINNINGS, and how every second of the day can actually be a new beginning if you choose! I'm personally finding real joy and relief in the concept of new beginnings happening all the time. And although I don't believe there can be a beginning without and ending, I'm all in to embracing both with all the feels that come with each one :) Take a listen, and if your not already hip to the idea of how amazing it can be to constantly be having new beginnings then perhaps you'll be inspired to contemplate the concept, and in turn begin to implement the habit of embracing every new beginning being presented to you during your Earthly experience :) Lifeline (988lifeline.org) Eagle Valley Hope Center: Your Hope Center: YOUR 24/7 SUPPORT LINE: (970) 306-4673 I LOVE Ebay!!

Developing a business referral mindset is about cultivating relationships and a reputation that encourage others to send business your way. Here are some steps to help foster this mindset: 1. Focus on Building Genuine Relationships • Cultivate trust and rapport with customers, peers, and other business owners. • Understand that referrals often come from people who genuinely like and trust you. 2. Deliver Outstanding Service • Exceed expectations in your interactions with clients and partners. • Happy clients are more likely to refer others because they feel confident in the quality of your service. 3. Be Proactive in Asking for Referrals • Make it part of your routine to ask satisfied clients for referrals. • Phrase your request in a way that emphasizes the value you'd provide to the referred person, e.g., "If you know anyone who could benefit from my services, I'd be happy to help them out." 4. Offer Referrals to Others • Give referrals to other businesses or professionals when appropriate. • This demonstrates your willingness to help others succeed and builds reciprocity. 5. Stay Connected • Stay in touch with past clients, prospects, and referral partners. • Regular communication, such as sending updates or checking in, keeps you top of mind. 6. Network Strategically • Join professional organizations or attend industry events where you can build relationships with potential referral partners. • Look for opportunities to form mutually beneficial alliances. 7. Create a Referral Program • Offer incentives or rewards for clients or partners who refer new business to you. • Make the process simple and clear to encourage participation. 8. Be Authentic and Ethical • Ensure your referral system is based on genuine value, not just a transaction. • Maintaining integrity is key for long-term success in generating referrals. 9. Educate Your Network • Make sure people know what you do and who your ideal clients are so they can refer the right people to you. • Share your success stories and case studies to highlight how your work benefits others. 10. Express Gratitude • When someone refers business to you, acknowledge and thank them, whether it's a personalized note, a call, or a small gesture of appreciation.
