Here's a little marketing secret for us small professional service providers and solos: Consistency matters more than perfection. And yet, lots (lots) of individuals and even small firms pause their marketing when things get busy.

Are you telling yourself the story that “clients can't afford my fee”? In this episode of the Private Practice Podcast, I break down the common money stories and mindset blocks that keep women in private practice stuck in undercharging, overworking, and feeling undervalued. If you've ever doubted your pricing, questioned your worth, or worried about raising your fees—this episode is a must-listen. I'll walk you through the evidence-backed truth about affordability using the bell curve principle and explain why 88% of people can afford your fee. The real issue? You're likely not communicating the value of what you offer in a way that resonates. You'll learn how to set your fees using the Mind-Business-Spirit approach, including practical business strategies (hello spreadsheets and projections), how your thoughts shape your income, and how to stay aligned with your soul purpose while running a sustainable practice. I also share the behind-the-scenes thinking that went into creating Practice Momentum—my high-touch program for therapists who want more clients, more income, and more freedom without doing more. If you've barely got clients, feel stuck or invisible, or are on the verge of burnout, this was made for you. Action Step for a Quick Win: Use the simple formula I share to calculate your session fee based on your business expenses and personal income goals. Awareness is the first step toward aligned pricing. Links:

We humans do many things that seemingly serve little practical purpose (insert your own Congress joke here). And yet, since that's a big part of what makes us human in the first place, taking deliberate steps to incorporate this kind of thing into your marketing it not a bad idea.

Referrals are one of the most powerful and trustworthy ways to get new clients. Not only are they easier to close than cold leads, but they often come with built-in credibility and urgency. It's someone saying, “You've got to work with Tracey, she's exactly what you need.” People often ask for referrals at the exact time that they are looking for help, so the urgency comes into play there. And what's even better? You don't need to have been in business for years to benefit from referrals. You can start generating them no matter what stage you're at. In this episode we'll talk about why referrals are gold, what makes a virtual assistant 'referable', 3 referral sources to tap into right now, and creating a simple system to collect referrals. If visibility and getting clients is something you've been struggling with, I can help. It's the only reason I'm here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously VA. Drop me a DM to chat about where you are stuck. I'm on all the social media channels, so find me where you are. Or go to YourVAMentor.com/links to connect with me.

Welcome to a very special episode of The Lindsey Anderson Show. I'm celebrating 100 episodes—100 opportunities to pull back the curtain and share the real, unfiltered truth about what it actually takes to consistently attract high-quality clients and scale a service-based business.I started this podcast because I was tired of watching smart, capable business owners get crushed by false promises, recycled marketing fluff, and outdated advice. The truth is, generating clients isn't magic. It's not guesswork. It's a system. And when you apply the right strategy with consistency, it works.In this solo episode, I'm walking you through what hasn't changed in marketing since day one, the biggest myths that are keeping online entrepreneurs stuck, and what's actually working in 2025 to grow your business online. I'm also sharing my four-step Social Media Sales Machine—the exact process I use for myself and every single client inside The BAM Agency. Plus, you'll hear how I use AI tools like ChatGPT to scale my business, streamline my day-to-day, and yes… even bleach my 12-year-old's hair pink. Let's dive in.The Truth About Getting Clients in 2025 - Key TakeawaysFoundational strategies still drive results—tools evolve, but principles stay the sameDMs are where trust is built and sales happenIn today's noisy digital world, trust is more valuable than trafficGoing viral isn't the goal—getting specific isStrategic visibility is how online coaches attract dream clients without burning outThe more dialed-in your niche, the faster your business growsAI isn't replacing you—it's your creative and strategic advantageWhat Hasn't Changed Since Episode 1People are still people. Whether you're a service-based business owner, business coach, or consultant, your clients crave real connection—not gimmicks. You don't need to show up at every event or constantly chase trends. Consistent, intentional content and real conversations online are still what build a loyal, buying audience.Highlights from Past Guest EpisodesJohn Lee Dumas reminded us that the “Riches are in the Niches.” If you're still afraid to go narrow with your offer, that fear might be the very thing holding you back.Marques Ogden taught us to walk into the storm like a bison—because real growth, especially in business, comes from embracing discomfort.Steve Cadigan gave us a look into the future of work and AI. We both agree: AI is here to amplify, not replace, your brilliance.Big Marketing Myths Keeping You Stuck“I just need to post more.” No—you need to post better. One of my clients posted daily for three years with no growth. Her message was too broad. We clarified her niche, built a clear system, and now she creates content in one hour a month—and is consistently closing clients.“I need to go viral.” Nope. You need to get your message in front of the right people. Visibility without strategy is noise.“I'll wait until things settle down.” The truth? This is the moment. The business owners who take action now are the ones who rise.Real Conversations = Real ClientsIf your content isn't leading to DMs, something's broken. Conversations are where the magic happens. I coach all my clients to use the 25-50-5 method: 25 new friend requests, 50 thoughtful feed interactions, and 5 intentional DMs every day. Be honest—Aunt Sally isn't your ideal client. Engage where it counts.Strategic Visibility Beats Endless PostingYour dream clients don't care how many posts you've scheduled—they care whether you understand their pain and can help transform it. When I appeared on Netflix, I met influencers with massive followings who weren't making money. Why? Because visibility without direction doesn't convert. You're not here for likes—you're here to...

In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I'm delighted to welcome back Leah Neaderthal, a sales coach for women consultants and the founder of Smart Gets Paid. We talked about the shifting landscape of client acquisition in the US, particularly in light of the political and economic climate of 2025, focusing on the importance of resilience and maintaining a positive mindset.  We shared personal anecdotes and strategies for overcoming external challenges, encouraging you to stay focused on your goals while fostering a supportive, growth-oriented environment.   In This Episode:  [00:00:00] Leah shares her journey from corporate marketing to becoming a sales coach for women consultants. [00:03:30] Discussion on narrowing down the niche and discovering a target audience. Leah explains her evolution in focusing on women consultants after initially targeting small businesses. [00:07:12] Leah shares her experience with changing her hair color to grey during the pandemic and its significance, reflecting on the impact of hair color on self-perception and business identity. [00:12:52] Evolving client acquisition strategies in 2025 and how political and economic changes influence client perceptions and business strategies. [00:15:13] The importance of providing a supportive environment for clients amidst uncertainty. [00:16:17] Leah encourages business leaders to maintain a positive outlook and drive forward despite challenges. [00:17:28] Jessica shares her experience of facing a challenging year in 2020 but ultimately growing her business significantly. [00:18:42] Discussion on how negative narratives can hinder business success and the importance of maintaining a positive mindset. [00:20:05] Exploring how entrepreneurs can adapt and respond effectively during crises instead of succumbing to fear. [00:22:04] The need for a relentless approach in achieving business goals, moving beyond mere trust in success. [00:25:10] The importance of positioning services as essential solutions rather than optional benefits during uncertain times. [00:29:08] Tactical advice for consultants to leverage their insights and adjust offerings to meet the immediate needs of clients. [00:33:49] The power of resilience among entrepreneurs to navigate challenges and maintain control over their business outlook. [00:35:23] Insights on how many consultants thrived during the pandemic despite initial fears and the need for proactive women consultants to succeed in changing markets. Key Takeaways: "Be a Painkiller, Not a Vitamin" - Position your services as essential problem-solvers, not just nice-to-haves. Clients still invest in urgent, high-value outcomes, especially during uncertain times. Leah's watchword of this year is ‘relentless' - not just trusting goals will happen, but actively and consistently pursuing them with drive and purpose. Fear-based narratives can hold you back. Instead of waiting or shrinking your goals, move forward with intention. Your mindset shapes your results. When you show up authentically, your business thrives. Clients respond to real, confident leadership. Quotes:  "I think it's a really amazing opportunity this year to play the mindset game of our lifetimes, because that's the opportunity, isn't it? That comes when the world is just a little bit unpredictable." - Jessica Fearnley “On a number of levels, there is some fear, of course. There's some grief. There's some rage. And I think our responsibility and our opportunity as the leaders of the spaces that we hold is to let that come out and create a safe space for that. And yet, I love what your members are saying, which is ‘I want to also hold this space as a space where we don't have to wallow in it', because I think that it can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.” - Leah Neaderthal "We don't always need to make it like an all or nothing where the only options are survival as if nothing's happened or complete catastrophe. Often it's a matter of degrees. We can course correct. If we can't be agile as entrepreneurs and consultants, then honestly, who can? We have this ability to change things." - Jessica Fearnley "A lot of women out there are talking about their work in what we might consider a vitamin, not a painkiller. Everybody knows they need to take their vitamins, but if you go to the store and you forget your vitamins, you'll just pick them up next time. Whereas if you have a real pain, you will go to the store and you will get pain relief, because you're solving a pain in that moment. That's how we need to be thinking about how we position our work, especially right now because clients will solve their pain, but they will not purchase a vitamin." - Leah Neaderthal   Useful Links Leah:  Leah's website - SmartGetsPaid.com Smart Gets Paid Podcast Smart Gets Paid Podcast - Episode 114 - ‘Don't let the economy kill your business – do this instead' Connect with Leah on LinkedIn Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn   Guest Bio Leah Neaderthal is a sales coach for women consultants, and she's the founder of Smart Gets Paid.

Instead, she taught herself everything she could about selling, overcame “selling shyness,” and created a sales approach that feels comfortable, builds strong client relationships, and gets results. Now she shares the secrets she learned along the way, teaching women how to get the right consulting clients and get paid more for every consulting contract in her program, The Academy. She's also the host of The Smart Gets Paid podcast, where listeners go behind the scenes into her actual calls with clients where Leah is tackling their biggest sales challenges, and they can learn sales strategies they can use in their businesses.

This is issue number 593. Seven more and I get a toaster. Today we talk about luck – and why you want to ignore it when building your business.

Most of the time, I offer suggestions about marketing things I think you should do. In today's newsletter, I share two recommendations of things you should not do.

Are you spending countless hours on social media but still struggling to land your ideal clients? You're not alone. Many designers fall into the trap of thinking social media is the key to getting high-paying clients—but is it really?In this episode of Interior Design Business, I'm diving into the reality of social media marketing for interior designers. I'll break down why your ideal clients aren't scrolling Instagram for their next designer, the biggest social media misconceptions, and the real strategy that will bring you high-quality clients—referral partnerships.We'll discuss the importance of building relationships with architects, contractors, realtors, and even unexpected connections like hairdressers and personal trainers to get high-value referrals. Plus, I'll share practical ways to connect with the right people, position yourself as the go-to designer, and stop wasting time on strategies that don't work.In this episode, we cover:

Are you passionate about the work you do? I'm glad. But the thing is, nobody but you really cares. In today's newsletter I explain why what you are especially good at – not what you love to do – is the shortest path to everything you want.

Podcast Notes Episode 455 A Flywheel for Getting Clients Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: March 6, 2025 In this episode, Brian and Chad revisit the concept of the flywheel, a powerful metaphor for building sustained business momentum. They explore how consistent, focused effort over time leads to breakthrough success, rather than short-term, haphazard strategies. Also discussed is how this concept applies to client acquisition and the importance of leading efforts toward meaningful conversations.   Key Highlights: 1. Understanding the Flywheel Concept Businesses that succeed don't rely on stop-and-start tactics; instead, they build momentum through consistent effort in one direction. Initial progress is slow, but once momentum builds, it becomes self-sustaining. The breakthrough moment isn't instant; it results from sustained work over time. 2. The Hedgehog vs. The Fox Approach The fox is always searching for the next quick win, jumping from strategy to strategy. The hedgehog focuses on a single, well-executed strategy over time. Many businesses struggle because they constantly change focus instead of committing to a long-term plan. 3. Applying the Flywheel to Client Acquisition Avoid random, inconsistent tactics: sporadic ads, scattered networking, or reactive branding changes. Instead, align efforts in a clear, consistent direction that builds over time. Overcoming resistance is key—sticking to the plan even when immediate results aren't visible. 4. The Importance of Conversations in Client Acquisition Strategies should ultimately lead to conversations—real interactions that can convert into business. Blogging, podcasting, LinkedIn posts, and networking all work if they facilitate meaningful dialogue. Success isn't always a direct path; it's about creating an ecosystem where conversations naturally happen. Example: A podcast may not directly lead to a client, but it builds credibility that sparks conversations through referrals and networking. Takeaways: Business Growth: It isn't about quick fixes; it's about long-term commitment to effective strategies. Anticipate the Outcome: The flywheel effect requires patience but leads to sustained success. Look Toward the Long-Term: Focus on activities that generate ongoing conversations, not just immediate wins.   Stay Connected: Website: coachapproachministries.org Email: info@coachapproachministries.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/coach-approach-ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coach.approach.ministries Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachapproachministries7538 Follow us on social media for updates and resources!

Recently, I launched a new, second newsletter. I thought it would be easy. I was wrong. If you are likewise at the beginning stages – of a newsletter or anything else that requires putting yourself out there for all to see – today's issue is especially for you.

Why do some business owners succeed while others struggle? In this episode, I reveal the mindset shift that can change everything: Activity equals Opportunity. I share personal insights, practical strategies, and actionable tips to help you break through and start seeing real results in your web design business.

Having conversations with women seeking help, only to have them say NO, is so disappointing.  Especially when you care so deeply and are so committed to supporting her! It's so frustrating when you have hope for her but something gets in the way of her saying yes to herself. I remember feeling the same way.  What was actually getting in the way was my own enrollment skills (or lack thereof).  So I can't wait to answer one of your burning questions in this episode and share how I cracked the code to successful enrollment. If your enrollment rate is below 25%, you won't want to miss this one. Tune in now to discover the relationship skill that will have your prospects saying YES to themselves!  

Today's newsletter is not the least bit funny. So, if that's the only reason you read these each time, I recommend hitting delete now and instead watching this super-cute baby elephant video. Everyone else, read on for some AI-themed insights that may or may not be useful.

Marketing your solo professional business effectively comes with a lot of moving parts ... not unlike a dishwasher. Confused? I don't blame you. Not interested? I don't blame you even more. For everyone else, today's newsletter awaits you below!

Today we're continuing with our "Back to Basics" journey by focusing on something that's often overlooked by freelancers - promotion. Promotion is super important to keep the clients coming in, but a lot of freelancers think they just need to be good at what they do. They admire those who seem to have endless work, thinking it all comes from word-of-mouth alone. But, in the early days of freelancing, just relying on referrals can be risky, leading to the scary "feast or famine" cycle. This situation can force freelancers to scramble, taking any job they can just to pay the bills. These "bill-paying" clients might not always be a good match, and we might not even want to work with them, but bills gotta be paid, right? I've been there, and I can tell you it's a quick way to burn out and start resenting your clients. In our chat today, we're going to help you avoid getting stuck with just bill-paying clients by sharing six ways to promote your freelance work effectively. If you're having trouble finding enough clients, it's probably because people just don't know you're there. That's where knowing how to effectively promote yourself comes in. By trying out one or two of the methods we're going to talk about today, you can bring stability to your work. More clients mean less stress, which lets you cherry-pick the projects you really love. In this episode you'll discover: How to avoid "bill paying work" Six promotion methods for freelancers How client value affects your business' needs Why referral programs work The benefits of paid promotion Why owned assets are so vital to your business Why Clients By Design is for you For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/345

When it comes to solo professional success, finding paying clients is the name of the game. If you can't make that happen, not much else matters. But getting those paying clients – especially the ones who come back again and again – requires more than just being open for business. In today's newsletter, we look at some other things worth doing to start and keep the client ball rolling.

Today's newsletter is a little longer than usual. So, for those of you who are too busy to read it, I dropped it into ChatGPT and asked it to summarize the article: “Bald man wastes your time with dad jokes and tired marketing observations.” A bit harsh for a robot, if you ask me. But I can't much argue with it.

Larry Kriesmer is the Chairman of Measured Risk Portfolios, an RIA based out of San Diego that oversees $350 million in assets under management for a combination of internal retail clients and external financial advisor clients. What's unique about Larry, though, is how he is able to get clients comfortable with taking equity market risk using an approach that actually puts 85% or more of client funds in Treasuries (effectively creating a floor on potential losses) while investing the rest into options on equity indexes to offer potential upside that still can approximate the returns of a conservative, moderate, or even aggressive balanced portfolio that might have otherwise simply allocated directly to the S&P 500.  Listen in as Larry shares how he implements this strategy and introduces its potential benefits and risks to clients, the tax benefits available when using options, the importance of careful management when using options due to potentially rapid pricing changes, and his commitment to reinvesting in his firm to build a lasting business.
