BONUS: The Mirror Effect — Become Your Ideal Client & You Will Attract Them
As consultants, we want to not only achieve our potential but to exceed it. We want to create great results, success, wealth, and have a real impact and serve at the highest levels. However, there is often a disconnect between our thoughts and actions. We want greater wealth and higher levels of success, yet act from a place of scarcity, and that’s one of the things that really hold us back from achieving all that we want. In today’s episode, Michael Zipursky shares how you can become aware of this happening in your life so you can take steps to remedy it. He calls this the mirror effect – looking deep inside yourself and seeing if you’re exhibiting your ideal clients' characteristics. At the end of the day, if you’re creating value for your clients, then they’re going to bring great levels of value to you, too. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!
