Clients, customers, patients, etc. are the core of any business or work that we do. You already know many tried and true ways of generating new business and retaining existing customers. In this blog I want to add to the discussion and offer an intuitive approach. As always the intuitive perspective is not a logical one. It is the other side of our brain.
Our own thoughts and beliefs or even fears define our success.
Ted
One of my clients, Ted, owns an event planning company. He has been quite successful in the past; work just seemed to come his way. Last year that was the case. For the first time he has to generate new business and find new clients. He was great at creating an event but in complete fear about generating new clients.
Sara
Sara called me recently. She is an interior designer who has also been quite successful. One client referred another and her company had as many clients as they could handle. Sara took off last year to travel and to buy furniture and artifacts for her clients. It was, in a way, a time of renewal for her. When she returned her clients seem to have disappeared. For the first time she finds herself needing clients. Sara was uncertain about how to begin.
Create A Vision of Your ideal Client
Whether you are just starting your business or profession or have been at it for years generating new business is part of the game. As a business intuitive I begin by looking at your vision of your clients/customers. How clear is this vision? Ted and Sara, never really looked at that because work just came to them. Having a clear vision (in your mind’s eye) is the first step. If you can’t see it, it won’t happen.
Stop Thinking
When creating your vision you want to be out of your mind! By that I mean, don’t think. Imagine. Thinking is not creative. Imagining is. This is a basic intuitive principle and you will read this in each of my blogs. The only way I know to get out of my mind and focus on clear seeing is through meditation, which is why I recommend it so strongly.
Take the time to meditate
Take the time to create a clear vision of your customers. Imagine new business coming your way. Be specific. How many new clients do you imagine? Can you imagine or see this vision in your mind’s eye? Keep looking until you see your vision clearly.
Finally, notice your thoughts and fears about your vision manifesting. Clear the thoughts and release the fears that invalidate your vision. Whatever you believe creates your experience. This is not logical yet very intuitive. Your vision is 50 new clients this week BUT your belief is “It’s not possible!” That is precisely what will manifest – wanting.
Do this exercise for as long or as often as necessary until you see your vision and can imagine it happening. Be aware and notice as your vision manifests.
Best wishes on your success!

Most see success as something that will happen in the future. “I will be successful.” Or we believe that when this or that happens then “I will be successful!” We create in our mind ideas that limit our success. We get in our own way. Whatever we believe or imagine is exactly what happens thus success is always in the future or our success depends on one thing or another happening first.
As an intuitive I pay attention to how we use our energy and if we are achieving our goals. Those who are most successful are those who have the greatest ability to focus.
For the most part we have our attention in the future, our plans for today, this week, this year, our vision of success and more. Having a clear vision is a very important aspect of creating. We cannot manifest without this.
Ego was the driving force behind businesses in the last century. That is all changing as the culture of business changes. Success today comes from a more value based and socially conscious model, providing a good product or service to the benefit of customers and clients.
As business owners we work hard to create good impressions and cannot afford a bad one. We pay attention to our branding, our marketing materials, office space, physical appearance, cars and more. Image and impressions are everything!
What are gut feelings?
Yesterday I was mentoring the owner of an interior design firm. She was ready to take her business to the next level. Issues she wanted to address were the addition of new staff, new office space, implementing a new marketing plan, etc. I saw intuitively that she was smart, had clear goals and understood the importance of having a clear vision. I also saw that her business plan was ready to move forward.
I just have to tell you Susan’s story because it is so familiar and I see it so often. Susan is an amazingly capable professional working for a large national organization. In recent years she began to feel dissatisfied with her work not because there was anything wrong with it but more that she was ready for new challenges and to move closer to her next dream job.
Yes, I mean fix the door. When your business is slowing down you can look for all the logical reasons why that is. Sometimes the cause has nothing to do with your business but with another aspect of your life. From an intuitive perspective our business is not separate from us. It is part of who we are and what we are creating. Intuitively I see that every aspect of our lives, our relationships, health, home, family, etc. affects the other.
Times are a changin! We are in the tenth year of the new millennium, the millennium of the “2”. That may not mean much to you at first but from an intuitive perspective it represents a significant change that everyone is experiencing. Concepts that drove the last millennium (1 –1999), the millennium of the “1”, were the importance of being first, on top, the best, faster, bigger, more, etc. This last millennium was dominated by male concepts that brought us tremendous growth, expansion, advancement, competition and success.
One of the best times to use your intuition is when you cannot decide, the answers you are looking for are not obvious or your find yourself successfully defending both sides of your own argument! You have been thinking, discussing it with others and still you cannot tell the right way to go or which decision to make. This is the time to stop thinking! Sometimes logic cannot provide our answers either because we are not neutral to the issue, our own thoughts and emotions cloud our thinking. Sometimes we cannot decide because of the pressures from other people or competing interests.
Do you find your time taken with responding to one thing after another? Do you feel that stuff keeps happening to you and you wonder what is next? Who is creating all of this? Successful business owners and professionals know this well.
When I was growing up I loved the idea of a miracle. My favorite saying was, “Its a miracle!” I sought out opportunities to find a miracle big or small. Now I don’t subscribe to the idea very much. So what happened between then and now? I learned that those so-called miracles were actually created by us. A miracle used to be a magical idea because I believed that something outside of all of us created it – something God like. Well I have no argument with God but I am fully aware that we have the free will to create or not create at our choosing.
We have all heard about the power of visualization. This is not a new concept and can be a speedy way to achieve the goals you have for yourself and for your company. As a business intuitive I am aware that my most successful clients are those who have a strong vision of what they want to create. They are clear and certain. I have other clients that have an equally clear vision though they are not as successful. There are many factors I see intuitively that contribute to this but there is one that is true of all of them.
You know the feeling. You decide to take a big step or take a risk in order to move forward. You have a clear vision. Intuitively you know it is the best step. You make the decision. All of a sudden you break into a cold sweat and a world of doubt washes over you. Were you wrong? Was your decision too impulsive? Why do you feel like you just made a big mistake?
There are many ways to create a sale. Some people rev-up their energy and run an intense sales pitch through your space. In the onslaught of the energy many may, in fact, buy what is being sold. Once the client gets out of the energy of the sale they will do one or both of these. They will return or cancel the contract because they felt pushed into something or they will simply never use the produce or service again for the same reason. Customers are very sensitive to energy. Salespersons or business owners who are aware set the energy of their contacts with an intuitive eye to the customer. Knowing your customer and what they are in need of then will develop long-term relationships with their clients/customers.
The recent Monday Meditation was very enlightening. We focused on enjoying our business and enjoying our life. What is not to like about this? Everyone was excited by the possibilities. In reality meditating with this in mind was not as easy as everyone imagined.
