Are you resisting the idea of choosing a NICHE to focus on in your business?

Are you tired of feeling like a wallflower in your area of expertise?

Would you like to attract new clients and make more money?

Cari Vollmer, the Passions into Profit mentor and founder of LifeOnTrack.com, will teach you how to choose a NICHE that fits YOU like a glove.

Cari comes to her path of passion and profit naturally. Her parents were successful restaurateurs for more than 20 years. She helped her husband launch his own successful small business over a decade ago, and her grandmother wrote children’s books back in the day when women were more apt to be in the kitchen cooking than honoring their passions. Yes, she’s comes to this path of passion naturally, but if you don’t, that’s OK, that’s what she’s here for!

She knows from first-hand, in-the-trenches experience what you must know and do to launch, and then run, a successful small business that’s also a reflection of your passions and divine life’s purpose. It’s not rocket science, and you can do it!

Choosing a niche (target market) is a major stumbling block for most solopreneurs and small business owners. In this high-content, high-value teleclass, Cari will demystify the niche-choosing process by sharing with you:

• Obstacles to Choosing Your Niche
• An Empowering New Way of Defining What a Niche Is
• 3 Ways to Discover Which Niche is Best For YOU
• Why Choosing Your Niche MAY NOT Be the Best Thing for Your Business Right Now
• What Needs to Come BEFORE Choosing Your Niche

Cari states, “If you’re a small business owner you have a divine purpose to share what you know — your gifts — with others. THAT’S why it’s important to know which niche you serve. Your gift is best suited to a certain group of people and finding them will transform you business.”

As you probably know, there are tons of interesting, effective and proven marketing techniques and strategies. But for men, there’s an easy one that’s often overlooked: Dare to talk as much as women do.

Why do I say this?

Because women really care about relationships. They are naturally inclined to talk about anything and everything, and readily share knowledge and contacts with their friends, colleagues and clients. They are born networkers, and this natural disposition is definitely a marketing asset.

Once you understand the importance of relationships, of creating true bonds, establishing trust and rapport with your prospective clients will come much more easily. When relationships are established with people who have come to know and like you, more word-of-mouth referrals (often the prime source for new clients) will come your way.

Effective networking is about the relationships you create. There are many ways to network online and offline, but remember–none of the marketing techniques or strategies will be as effective unless you are out there talking to people.

Dare to talk as much as women do!

RESOURCE: LinkedIn Answers is a great place to network. You can ask and answer questions, and recommend links on topics being discussed. You get to know people by their opnions and expertise, and, of course, increase your LinkedIn contacts at the same time.

“The mindset is everything; if an entrepreneur thinks wrong, the business won’t succeed,” says Suzanne Mulvehill, founder of the Emotional Endurance® Institute and author of “Employee to Entrepreneur: A Mind, Body and Spirit Transition.”

If you find yourself still thinking and acting like an employee, even though you are running your own business, you don’t want to miss this event. “Thoughts like ‘Am I going to make it?’ and ‘I don’t think I can do this anymore,’ have to go,” says Mulvehill.
New thoughts like “I’m giving it my all, no matter what,” and “If I’m making mistakes, I’m making progress” need to become automatic and be programmed into the entrepreneurial mind so success can flow.

Break out of your employee mindset, and increase your business success rate immediately! This will teleseminar will help you:

• Learn the secrets to change your employee thoughts into entrepreneurial thoughts; 
• Learn strategies for having your thoughts work for you vs. against you; 
• Understand the 7 employee mindset shifts that must take place in order to embrace entrepreneurial success.

And much more!
