Today on the show, Strategy + Action = Knowing Your Client's Pain and Charging What You're Worth Robin Waite is on the show today. And we had an absolute blast talking through a couple of really key components to running a coaching and consulting practice. Or heck, even if you're a freelancer offering services per hour. We dig into really finding some solutions around that. And I say solutions because there's a problem if you're simply trading your time for money like that on a per-hour basis. We start off around the power of knowing your clients' pain points. It's such an important aspect of a coaching practice (any business at all, really). We discuss how to do market research to find out what your clients are struggling with. Also, what are they aspiring to and what are they trying to accomplish? When we can dig into what they're really struggling with, and then line that up with how we can bring solutions to those problems, we're going to find that perfect fit in the type of client we want to work with along with the solution that we can provide. We start with the pain points but then we quickly dig into so many different areas that Robin is helping coaches and consultants and even freelancers with his Fearless Business program. Make sure you check out Robin's books, including Take Your Shot, Online Business Startup, and Marketing Machine. And Robin mentions in this episode, if you go to Fearless.biz/tys , he'll send you a signed copy of Take Your Shot! This is a phenomenal and fun interview. So let's jump in!

While books do taket a while to write and publish they are by far and away one of the best marketing assets that a coach and every coach can benefit from writing a book. My books typically take 8-12 months to write and publish, but that's the hard part done as they are then free or very cheap to give away as a lead magnet. Many people ask me, "How much information should you give away in your book?" - What they're forgetting here is that if your core coaching programme is high-ticket i.e. expensive, then a book makes learning your methodology affordable for more people...therefore you can measure your impact based on how many people download your book. Books Increase Engagement Books hugely help with increasing engagement, Google stated in Zero Moments of Truth that you need to engage someone for 7 hours on average before they commit to buying a product or service. With the average book being 30,000 words long that means somewhere between 5-7 hours of reading time so a book is a great way to chalk off the 7 hours of engagement. When I launched Take Your Shot I gave away about eighty copies of the book at an event I was speaking at. About three weeks after the event I received dozens of social media notifications one Sunday morning; and essentially people has the book on their bedside cabinet or desk and remembered to pick it up and read it...at which point they started sharing it on social media and leaving reviews. There's no way I could be with those 30+ people all at the same time...so books are amazing at creating engagement on your behalf. Having a book positions you as an authority A book enables you to get podcast interviews and speaking engagements People will quote your book in their marketing and social media And invite you to write forewords and quotes for their books It leaves a legacy behind after you are gone! Protect your methodology and Intellectual Property In writing your book it helps you to formulate your ideas I didn't write Online Business Startup, it wrote me! In this Episode I also answer the most common questions: How much should I give away in my book? How long should a book be? How salesly should my book be? How important is being a Bestseller? How much money can you earn from writing a book? And...How I hacked the process of writing a book… 10 words of narrated and edited audio equates to about 1,000 words A typical book is about 30-50,000 words long So approximately 5-7 hours of content …how I wrote 30,000 words in a single month To find out more about Fearless Business: Join our amazing community of Coaches, Consultants and Freelancers on Facebook: >> https://facebook.com/groups/ChargeMore And check out the Fearless Business website: >> https://fearless.biz

Building his first website when he was 14-years-old via GeoCities for his skateboarding crew from high school, Vito then started building websites for clients as a freelancer – from the back of a van while touring the world as the leader of a hard rock band.He subsequently grew his London-based digital agency to a team of 12, before creating a small plugin that would change the way the industry collaborates within websites – WP FeedBack. That plugin evolved into Atarim – the first dedicated web agency management platform. Today, he's got over 5,000 agencies using it to build their websites and over 130 clients running on top of it.When he's not helping the great and the good to wizard up highly functioning websites, Vito relaxes by strumming the guitar and making his daughter giggle (not necessarily in that order).

Vandaag het gesprek met Robin Waite. Robin Waite is een succesvolle business coach uit de UK. Met zijn Fearless Business coaching programma helpt hij ondernemers om de omzet te verdubbelen in 6 maanden. Of ten minste op weg naar een aanzienlijke groei in die periode. Robin werkt meer met strategie dan met tactieken. Hij herinnert de ondernemers aan de fundamenten van ondernemen. Hij publiceerde al eerder het boek Online Business Startup. Deze aflevering is in het engels. Veel plezier met de inzichten van Robin.   Episode 134 Show Notes Je hier met Robin verbinden: @RobinMWaite on Twitter Linkedin www.robinwaite.com Facebook Link for the books Transcriptie Erno: I received a message from Robin if I wanted to receive his book. A couple of days later I did receive his book, the paper version and I read it in 2 hours, because it is written as a story. The book learns you lessons. Welcome Robin. Robin: Thank you Erno Erno: This is your second book, your first book is The online business start-up. The story is about a golf teacher who grows his business while teaching golf to a business coach. It's a true story, because it used to be a story of a client of Robin. One of the things you learn in the book is goal setting, over different and longer periods of time. This seems hard because many things can happen in a long period of time that can really affect your business. Robin: The longer the period of time, the clearer the vision needs to be. You need to differentiate between tactical choices and strategical choices. Tactical are the things you do on a daily basis. Think of things such as social media. When you go further in time, the more strategic your choices become. If you set a goal to get a 1000 clients in 10 years, you can reverse engineer your way back to smaller choices to achieve this goal. Erno: The antagonist in the book sets a lot of personal and material choices. Can you explain why? Robin: There is a reason for that. Most people's problems come down to 2 things, time and money. Money is a very common performance indicator, most people value a big house, they believe they're succesfull if they earn a large amount of money. Try and set your goals as specific as possible, as they will be easier to achieve. You can always make more money but never create more time. Time is the most valuable commodity we have. Most people want to get more money, because it will leverage back a bit more time. Erno: You have 2 kids, I learned because we talked before the interview. How does that fit in? Robin: Given that usually both parents in a family work, time spent with your children, needs to be spent well. Erno: An important part of growing your business is knowing what you are selling to your clients. You need to create a product. Robin: Absolutely, you can be an excellent computer programming, but running a business in this is something entirely different. In the book, the  antagonist gives lesssons without a clear vision behind it. There was so specific outcome. He then learns to create products. The antagonist knew he could deliver these products. He then went from an hourly rate to a product package with a price. Erno: Of course, after creating a product, you need to start selling it. Robin: Right, you can have all these fantastic ideas but if you don't sell them, they're pointless. If you have an idea, act upon it. You are being selfish if you have a great idea for a book and you just keep op procastinating it. Erno: I was talking to 2 men the other day, who had been attending a coaching group. The thing that made them different from the other people in the coaching group is the fact that they would actually implement the thing the coach had said. Create a product, increase your price. They were they only one who were quite succesfull. Robin: That is really important. Beware, try not to be a copy cat. Every business is different.

Robin Waite was a web designer who got increasingly frustrated with clients who only thought about websites. He understood, although they didn't, that your website is only part of your online strategy and your personal brand. Online Business Startup was written out of frustration, but the result was the transformation of Rob's own personal brand.  This is also a masterclass in how to write a book at speed: despite having a new baby and a full-time job, Rob managed to dictate, transcribe and edit his bestselling book in just six weeks, and he shares the full details of how he did it in this interview.  'My book's sold several thousand copies, my videos are going into tens of thousands of views across Facebook and Youtube and Vimeo. I've couldn't have had that impact, without having the book and the personal brand and this whole ecosystem set around it.' This is an interview packed with practical ideas: don't listen unless you're ready to be challenged and to take action.
