Let me get right to the point! “Consistently inconsistent” is NOT a great place to be in your business, but an EASY place to find yourself stuck if you don’t do something about it!

If you are one of the women out there with a GREAT business OR business idea and a passion for helping others through your expertise, then ask yourself these questions…

1. Am I REALLY doing all I can to reach my market and spread my message? Or am I playing it safe, too paralyzed by fear to move forward?
2. Am I frustrated every day because I can’t seem to acquire new clients and customers?
3. Do I see other people doing what I do and making a lot of money doing it, but I can’t seem to do the same? What do they have over me?
4. Am I too bogged down with LIFE and can never seem to give my business the time and attention it needs to grow….plain old burnt out?
5. Are people constantly trying to barter services with me and asking me to lower my rates?
6. Do people always tell me they LOVE my stuff, but they never actually buy?
7. Am I devaluing my own services and worth?
8. Am I stuck in the same place year after year with little to no growth at all?
9. Every year I say it’s going to be my year, but nothing is happening, why?
10. I start off full force but always seem to lose steam, why?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then…

Good News! Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event information is being officially released to the public within the next couple of weeks. I know many women are anxious for the details and ready to plan for the event, so it won’t be long now! I talked to James Malinchak and he is going to be doing something VERY special for the women at my event July 9th-11th, and I can’t wait!

Have you joined over 1,200 other women in our membership forum yet? Make sure you do:

http://www.Superwomanlifestyle.ning.com

How do you plan to build and/or expand your business? Are you the brand and face of your business? Or does something else represent your business brand? That is a decision that you must make carefully and one that you should stick to once you do decide and something we will discuss in July. But regardless if you yourself will be the brand, every woman entrepreneur should own her own name! It is a HUGE mistake to be in business and not own your name domain. Being the Superwoman coach that I am, I took the liberty of typing in the URL of several women who are on my list! VERY few own their own name! NOT GOOD! If I wanted to, I could go and buy your domain name right now and there isn’t anything that you can do about it.

See it doesn’t matter if you don’t feel like you are established enough yet, one day, one day very soon (like right now), you are going to need to own the domain of your name for your business purposes, regardless of you already have a website for your business using your business name or another concept. See having Superwomanlifestyle.com is one thing, but I also own Vickiirvin.com. When people hear about me, read about me, see me on TV, see me at an event, they are going to go and search Vicki Irvin and I would be remiss if I did not have more information on myself someplace. You and I both know that people Google EVERYTHING these days and that will include you and your business.

When your business gets really big, you will have competitors out there who will go and buy your name themselves just to keep you from owning it. Trust me, I know several people who have had this done to them and it’s a major problem you won’t want to deal with. In fact, just this week I had someone call me to complain someone did this to them, and it turned out to be a competitor who bought their name from under them and then redirected their name domain to THEIR website! Yes, it gets just that ugly! Can you imagine McDonalds buying burgerking.com and when people type it in, it goes to the McDonalds website? Happens all the time! There are many other reasons that owning your name in business is beneficial as well, but you get the point by now.

It costs about $7-9 bucks per year to own your name, you should go and lock it up for several years at a time until you are ready to use it. Treat your business like a business and protect your name! For less than the cost of a cup of coffee you can avoid a BIG mistake in your entrepreneurial endeavors! While I don’t endorse any particular domain service, go to www.godaddy.com and check out how simple it is to grab your name and protect your business, takes about 3 minutes! HOP TO IT!!!

Are you taking big leaps in your business or small baby steps? Baby steps are great….IF that is genuinely all that you can do. But the fact of the matter is that you are capable of taking big leaps. I know that you are passionate about succeeding in your business. I know that you often can’t sleep at night because you are thinking about ways to enhance your business. How do I know? Because I do the same thing all the time, and many of my sleepless nights are spent thinking about how I can help YOU leap to success. When I was featured in the movie The Phenomenon it was all about entrepreneurs who accomplished more in the last 12 months than they had in the last 12 years. Long gone is the philosophy that you have to slave away hours and hours and work as hard as possible to enjoy the fruits of your labor. That was the old way of thinking from generations and generations ago. Today with the proven success systems and technology, you can leap to mega-success in record time…IF you do things the right way and take the time to study a blueprint that works.

What may seem commonplace to you for your business is often mind blowing to other people. You need someone to look at your business with “fresh” eyes and show you additional ways to profit and other angles to go. So, ask yourself a few questions…Have you invested in a proven system from someone who has achieved success? Are you busy working IN your business but not ON your business doing the things to bring you more clients? Do you have four ways of profiting from your business? Do you have four marketing strategies for your business? Do you have more clients than you can handle? If you don’t like your answers to any of these questions, then you need to be on my next call on March 15th.

If your marketing is not ticking some people off, then you aren’t doing your job! Sounds crazy right? Well, here is the truth of the matter. As an entrepreneur it is your job to deliver content the people on your list have signed up for. Your market will appreciate your information (if it is good) and will even be able to use some of the things you show them. How often you choose to communicate with your list is up to you, but it should be often enough that you are able to build a rapport with them. Anyone who chooses to “opt out� of your list is not interested in what you are doing for whatever reason. And that is okay. I remember when I was first starting out, I would get so upset if someone opted out of my list, I really took it personal…Until my coaches and mentors told me that was normal and they aren’t my target client anyway. What is the point in having someone on your list, who isn’t interested in what you do? NONE!

So what about this “ticking people off� stuff I mentioned? Well, just last week my ezine had a headline that read “You Are So Cheap.� I received notification from someone who opted out of my list and provided the reason why. Here is what she said:

“Your emails are not cute. You are breeding negativity and negativity spreads disease.� She sounds pretty ticked off right? Well the fact of the matter is that I use compelling headlines to get you to read the darn great information I write for you each week! Every time I write, I think about what subject line I can use to get you to even open my email up. And if my headlines weren’t ticking some people off, then I am NOT doing my job! See the fact of the matter is, the women who wrote that I was being negative, never bothered to read my email. If she had read it, she would see that my ezine was all about pricing your products accordingly and knowing your worth. But she was someone who signed up on my list for probably not the right reasons at all, and in turn is not my target client.

No matter how great your ezine, newsletter or blog is, nobody will ever get to see it if YOU do not write compelling subject lines and headlines that spark their curiosity enough to even open the darn thing! At my Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event in July, we will talk about copy writing and how to have your clients anxiously waiting for you to deliver! In the meantime…go tick some people off!

Our Tele-coaching call is scheduled for March 15th at 8pm EST.

Are you passionate about your product or service? Do you KNOW that people can benefit from what you have to offer? I’m sure the answer is yes. And if the answer is yes, then why are you short-changing yourself? So many women entrepreneurs are afraid to even charge for their services. And if they do charge, they are devaluing their services by charging nominal fees out of fear of thinking their prices are too high and nobody would ever buy. If this is you, then I can tell you right now that your business is probably not profitable or anywhere near where it should be considering the worth of your product. You are in business to make money, not to run a hobby…at least I hope!

Having a successful and profitable business starts with you believing in what you do and being able to look people square in the eye with confidence when you quote your prices. The worst position to be in when you have competitors is the “cheapest� in town. The best position is to be the highest priced, a concept many have a hard time wrapping their mind around. Many businesses have gone right OUT of business by trying to undercut their competitors prices thinking customers will flock to them because they are cheaper. While that may work for a minute, the success is short-lived and they quickly realize they cannot sustain running a business at cheap prices. I have seen it happen time and time again.

If people cannot afford you at the price point that you have set based on what you are delivering, the quality of your product or service and what makes you profitable, then they are NOT your target client or customer. Don’t adjust your price, adjust the target market you are marketing to. It’s just like anything else in life. If you go to a shoe store and cannot afford the Jimmy Choo shoes then what do you do? You settle for the Kenneth Coles. But you can best believe that Jimmy Choo is not going to lower his prices because you could not afford them, he is going to let them sit right there in the store until his target customer comes and buys them. He doesn’t care that you could not afford them, you are NOT his ideal client. And you have got to start thinking of your business in the same way.

And for those of you who have been giving your stuff away for nothing and “helping� people, it is time to stop. While we all like to give back and help out, rarely do people value anything you just give them because they have not invested their good hard earned resources and it is easy to blow off. But when people have “skin in the game� and make an investment, they are more apt to actually work so they can see a return on their investment. So giving it all away is really not helping anyone at all, now is it?

Value yourself. Value your skills, value what you have that can change someone’s life. If YOU don’t value your business, you can’t expect anyone else to.

If you choose to make email marketing your primary source of communicating with your prospects and clients, then you have got to learn how to write copy. Copy writing is a skill that every serious marketer has got dive into. See it’s one thing to have a message that you want to get out, but if nobody bothers to open up your email, your message will never get read. So why do some emails get opened with anticipation and others just get deleted or skipped over? Because of the email subject line and how it is written. Writing compelling, cliff hanger subject lines get your emails opened at a much higher rate than drab hum drum ones. What would you be more apt to open:

Valentines Day Special Offer For Him

or

Love, You, Him…Tonight?

I think we can all agree the second subject line is the more compelling of the two. In a world where people are constantly inundated with emails and spam, what are you going to do to stand out from the rest? Thought has to go into this every time you send communication to your list or your sales will not be where they should be. The same goes for writing copy that is intended to introduce your product or service for sale. Just explaining in detail what your product or service does is not enough to get anyone to buy from you. It is your job to explain the benefits and features of your business and how you can solve a problem for them. There is a clear and concise formula for writing copy the right way, and it is the difference between people who are able to make sales, versus those who are not. If we were to take two different companies selling the same product equally as great, who would convert the most sales? The one who writes the best copy will be the winner every time.

As you know I frequently invest in myself and my education and copywriting was one of those investments that has paid off for me 100 times over! In the Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event, I will break down copywriting in detail and show you a simple formula for getting it right and most of all increasing your sales conversion! Trust me, you CANNOT live without this skill!

Not being where you want to be right now today, does not mean you have lost as long as you still work as hard as you can each day.

Superwoman Lifestyle is all about having balance in your life, or at least something that resembles it! Women in business, striving to fulfill their dreams and missions while taking care of their children and families and THEMSELVES has been a huge struggle for a long time. Perhaps you don’t get the support you need in these areas, I know how that can be. It’s hard to push forward every day when you feel like you are alone and nobody understands. That is why your success in each aspect of your life greatly depends on who you surround yourself with and the environment you draw your strength from. Many, many women don’t have a community or environment of like-minded people who “get it.� Do you? Do you have someone who says, I understand your business, I understand your drive of being an entrepreneur…or how about, I understand you want to get healthier and find more time for yourself and your family. It’s hard to accomplish these goals when you often stand alone. No matter how great someone’s life looks from the outside, no matter how successful you think they are, as women we all have stories of struggle. But I do know that together, side by side we can push each other to rise above to even greater heights. Nobody can do it all alone! So together in 2010, The Extreme Women Entrepreneurs’ Retreat in June is going to be the time and place many, many women start realizing their businesses can and will go to a whole new level with a step by step proven formula for success, the same one I use over and over again! I cannot wait to transform so many lives!

Saturday is my birthday and I am heading to Vegas! Part fun, but mostly business. Stay tuned for exciting updates! As promised, I gave out business critiques/enhancements to the first ten ladies who submitted their information to me. I was hit with boatloads of requests, so thanks for your submissions, but I could only do ten. But make sure you read all my ezines, I often do this and your business could be next! Are you registered for the next coaching call yet? If not, don’t miss out, act now:

http://vickiirvin.com/events/Superwomanlifestylepreviewcall.html

The purpose of the critique was to show how often women entrepreneurs are off the mark on who their target market is. Just about 100% of the submissions were off the mark. Most women entrepreneurs have not been taught the secrets to market research or are unaware how important and crucial and this step is. But that is okay and something we are going to change. I also promised to pick one submission and use it as a case study so that everyone could benefit. Here is the one I chose to share so you can see how the trained eye can see other opportunities that most would not be aware existed. I asked for three things: website, who you think your ideal client/customer is and an explanation of your product or service.
Her explanation as to what she does:

“I am a Life & Career Empowerment Coach. My ultimate goal is to help each client change their life to change their legacy by empowering them to create more fulfillment in their personal and professional lives through creating a Success Model that will help each client take control over their lives and purposefully navigate their way to success, no matter the arena in life. My ideal client is small business owners.�

I explained that her explanation, had I asked her at a networking event, would have left me confused and unclear and you only have a few seconds to capture a potential client’s interest. I suggested something more like this:

“I am a life and empowerment coach who customizes a plan of success and action for my clients based on their lifestyle and personal/professional aspirations and goals.�

After looking at her website and getting a feel for what she does, I felt she could help a lot more people than just small business owners which she indicated was her target market. I felt she could open up a whole new stream of income by reaching out to others and here is what I told her:

“Too narrow. I am sure there are employees who are burnt out from their 9-5 jobs and looking for a career change or to go into business for themselves. With your help, you could assist them in developing a transition plan to reach these goals as well as help them figure out what their true desires are. That opens up a whole new target market for you, EVERYBODY has a passion inside of them they want to release and many need direction from someone like you to actually do it! Not just small business owners.�

This woman entrepreneur seems very powerful and passionate to me and I know so many others could benefit from what she has to offer. By going after more than just small business owners she opens up her business to a major increase in revenue stream.
Keep in mind these are just quick examples and they can and should be properly researched and honed.

See how this works? On the Call February 8th, I will give EVERYONE a formula for actually doing this the proper way, so make sure you are registered, this one step is sure to get you clear and on track to a bigger bank account! Register here:

If you were one of the hundreds of ladies on the Monday night Superwoman coaching call, then thanks for tuning in, I appreciate the overwhelming amount of testimonials I received about the call and I look forward to our next one on February 8th, so mark your calendar. I will send you the registration form shortly. I’m excited because I am heading to Vegas next week and it is my birthday. Watch how I work this business trip into a party too! Stay tuned for something else I will show you live from Vegas as well!

Okay so are you SURE you know what it is that you do? I find that many women entrepreneurs have a hard time explaining what their product or service is all about in a clear, concise, confident and succinct way. Sounds basic and simple, but few people have this down to a science. You must carve out and design your marketing message so that when someone walks up to you and says FIRST NAME what is it that you do?….you are able to rattle it off easily and quickly leaving the person knowing exactly what you have to offer rather than confused.

Now we have work to do if you are unsure of what to say, but that is okay. That is an indication that you aren’t quite clear yourself in what direction you want to go with your business. Perhaps you have more than one idea or concept that you are trying to merge together that doesn’t quite fit into the same business model. Maybe you are holding onto something that you need to let go of. I know how it can be when you think you have a great idea, but it just doesn’t work out. You need someone to help you let it go so you can move on and progress. The reason having a clear message is so important is because you have to know who your target market is. You can’t hone in on your target market if you aren’t clear on your own services. And trust me when I say people will know the difference between someone who has it together and someone who does not, just based on how you communicate what you do. Here are some questions to ask yourself about your business that you must be able to answer:

1. I am in the business of_____________________
2. My target market is comprised of the following demographic___________________
3. The results you will attain as a result of my product/service are__________________
4. My business is unique from my competitors because___________________________
5. My product/service is valuable because______________________________________

There are of course many more questions about your business you should be able to easily answer, but these are a great start. Go ahead and see what you come up with. If you struggle or hesitate to answer of them, then you have to do some work on getting clear on your direction. You won’t be able to sell yourself to other people until you are confident and clear on what you do and that means selling yourself first! So take a shot at it and let me know how you did. If you need help, don’t worry, I will cover this topic on one of our coaching calls.

Good luck!

So you think that “getting your mind right� is a bunch of mumbo jumbo nonsense huh? Well I used to think the same thing when I was starting out as an entrepreneur. I wanted to skip all the talks about belief systems and surrounding myself with the “right� people..blah, blah, blah. But I quickly learned that I could have all the technical knowledge I needed, if I didn’t have my mind right, surround myself with positive people who pushed me and I didn’t believe in my full potential, I would get absolutely NO WHERE. See, being an entrepreneur means you are entering a lonely world where few talk your language. How many times have you tried talking about your business to family or friends who just looked at you like you had two heads? Or how many times, did people tell you that you were nuts and that you need to stick to your day job? THAT is the reality of the world of entrepreneurship. Tip number one…YOU MUST BECOME IMMUNE TO CRITICISM to survive! If you take every negative comment or rejection personal, you will crumble. Tough skin is in order and not allowing anyone to take you off of your path is a must.
Tip number two…thinking you can learn and do it all on your own is a myth. I don’t care how focused you are, when you do not invest in your own education, you will never get off the ground or you will stall and never realize your full potential or level of success. Every single successful person you know and admire has coaches and mentors to guide them to the next level. They all invest in themselves to continue to learn and grow their business, there are no exceptions to the rule. When you see me traveling, I am typically on a business trip investing in my education with one of my mentors and I have several. And yes my investments pay off 100 times over with the skills and knowledge I am able to learn and apply that in turn increase my business profits. And I have become a master at finding ways to turn business trips into fun as well, nothing wrong with killing two birds with one stone!

I have had to show clients how they CAN afford to invest in themselves. Money is tight for everyone, but there is always a way to invest in you. It is amazing how many women entrepreneurs will skimp on education to increase their bank accounts for elaborate vacations, designer clothes and shoes and useless spending on non-income generating items. You can’t have it both ways. Either you are serious about your business, or you wish to just bask in the meaningless fly by night pleasures of life that do nothing more than drain your bank account and put you further in debt. The serious woman entrepreneur knows the difference and makes the sacrifice. Once you are making the money, THEN you can justify treating and rewarding yourself.

So if you are TRULY serious about your business, you have got to dedicate yourself to following a serious model and blueprint for success. Skipping steps does not work and it is another reason so few women entrepreneurs are realizing their full potential. Ready to learn more about how to get your biz on track?
