Key Takeaways:

Establishing genuine, authentic relationships is essential for building trust and creating opportunities, whether in the military, consulting, or network marketing.
Transitioning from providing free services to charging for your expertise can be a mental hurdle, but it’s necessary for sustainable growth, and developing the confidence to recognize your value and charge accordingly is a key step in evolving your business model.
By guiding clients to overcome their fears and self-limiting beliefs, you can empower them to take action and achieve their goals.
Leveraging outlets, such as music and physical activity, not only refills your own cup but can also serve as a powerful client connection tool.
Providing prospective clients with a complimentary coaching session allows you to demonstrate your expertise, build rapport, and uncover their unique challenges, and it can be an effective way to attract new clients and showcase the transformative power of your services.

“When you show up authentically and genuinely and you’re able to convey the message, and you connect with people, you do a good job, and they go, ‘Hey, this is a real person.’” — John M. Edwards
