Over the course of a day, luck can account for 99% of someones success.
It comes down to a shift that you can make TODAY and FOUR things that any coach or consultant can do to attract better prospects and constantly convert them into premium paying clients.
Of course if it's stylish and if their friends like it, that's great but that's not really what influences their buying decision.
This is a prospect with cash to spend. He/she knows it ain't going to be cheap. He/she knows that he's dealing with the best. In fact, he'll probably be delighted just to get on the waiting list for one of these cars as this dealership doesn't sell to just anyone.
If you're a consultan and that's business owners, then you need to understand what keeps them awake at night? What hurts their income and their lifestyle? What's their PAIN?
Similarly, if you're a life coach and you're looking to strengthen your clients relationships, careers and health then don't be afraid to help your clients understand the problem they're facing by showing them where they're at now and what will continue to happen if they continue down the road they're on without your help.
And as far as I'm concerned you need to do it.
If you have a service that can genuinely change peoples lives for the better then you're not doing your prospects or yourself any favors by shying away from crafting a great offer a premium price as your prospects will happily pay you to help them overcome the problems that are a constant thorn in their side.
You're a coach/consultant. You transform lives! You are morally obligated to get the word out there and command the fee you deserve so you can work with the people that will see the best results.
What's the BIG problem you can solve for people? Who are those people specifically? Understand that and stop trying to be all things to all people and you'll see a quick, dramatic increase in business.
You shouldn't even need to "sell" them!
They should be a good fit for you. They'll need to be able to afford you (none of this "well, I'm not really sure I need/can afford a consultant/coach right now hassle) and they need to be ready to do the work.
The prospects that drain your time and energy for far less than you're worth and expect you to perform miracles need to be kicked to the curb. NOW.
With your new found authority you'll find better ones. They won't care what you've done before. Your track record is irrelevant to them as in their eyes you're someone who can remove their biggest concerns in life/business and guide them to where they want to be.
Remember: You build a massive reputation by talking about how you help people move forward, your past has nothing to do with it.
Nearly every coach/consultant that wants to grow their income wants more leads.
They're either struggling to consistently pull in the money they want every month and think more leads is the answer or they're overwhelmed with work from lower-level clients and think better leads will suddenly give them the life they want.
There's an element of truth to this but the reality is if most coaches/consultants started getting plenty of GREAT prospects coming in every month they wouldn't actually be much better off.
Ultimately, you either accept the fact that your business has reached it's "ceiling" in terms of income as you can't find any more hours in the week or you overwhelm yourself and get burnt out trying to service your new clients and your old ones.
I want you to tell me a little bit about your business and who you are so I can make sure that no matter what you have the same clear, exciting vision for your business as when you started.
That's it. Sales pitch over.


Who Mourns For Dobby? Not Me.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 looks likely to push the HP films past the Star Wars series as the most lucrative movie franchise of all time. It topped the box office again, earning over $600 million in worldwide grosses. Part 1 is on pace to surpass the $933 million gross of its predecessor (The Half-Blood Prince) and earn a cool billion. Not too shabby for some movies based on a bunch of "kids books."
The series has come a long way since the painful first couple films, where we dutifully sat and gaped along with the young protagonists at all the wizardly hoopty-hoo (in between surreptitious glances at our watches). Times have grown dark for Harry and friends, with danger lurking at every turn and beloved characters dying at the hands of Voldemort and his minions. Deathly Hallows continues the last few movies' trend of killing off beloved characters.
Dobby, like other house elves, possesses magical powers different than/beyond the ability of human wizards. For this reason, he can do things like apparate in and out of Hogwarts and other shielded areas as well as put a sorcerous beat-down on Lucius Malfoy. Fine. And it was only thanks to Dobby's intervention that Harry, Ron, and Hermione (and Luna and Ollivander) were freed from the Death Eaters. Great. He's still a cross between Gollum and Vladimir Putin and has a voice that makes Joe Lieberman sound like James Earl Jones.
I can think of two other deaths in Deathly Hallows that should have packed more of an emotional wallop than Dobby's, and both occurred during the initial flight from Privet Drive. The first was Harry's owl, Hedwig. Appearing in all the films, and a trusted and loyal companion to Harry, Hedwig deserved a little more commemoration than a "there, there" from Hagrid after taking a Killing Curse for his her master.
Audiences are easily manipulated by cute characters in peril. And the sniffling in the theater following Dobby's perforation reminded me of nothing so much as the Ewok dying in Return of the Jedi. Hundreds of thousands of humans are getting vaporized in the skies over Endor, and we're expected to burst into tears over one dead Monchhichi.
But at least with Dobby out of the way, we'll be free to mourn the real victim of Part 2 — Bellatrix Lestrange — properly.

Distribution updates on our OS (Debian) are generally very reliable, although this one includes some major changes to one particular very important bit of software in the background that may slow things down a bit. We run a custom build of nginx (the web server) that means we'll have to manually install a new version post-update. This may result in some website downtime. Plus whenever you update the OS, you have to restart the system, so there will be at least a few minutes of downtime while that happens.
Basically, expect things to be a bit slow and stupid every so often while we're working on it.
@Inkling Cooper Will there be any design changes in this software update?
Will be starting update shortly.
Just a question, was the immense slow down on the forums a result of the update being prepared, or something?
Yes. On Debian, there are a number of online repositories that hold the recommended version of most of the software, applications etc. There's the old stable repo, which we're currently on (being on the previous version of the OS), the stable repo which we're in the process of moving to, and testing/unstable repos which are for the next version of the OS and cutting edge versions of the software respectively.
Debian has a philosophy that stability is more important than anything else, so the repos are actually surprisingly different - oldstable tends to hold much older versions than stable, which in turn has older versions than testing and unstable. As a result, if we're updating to the current stable, we have to update most of the software on the system - that's a lot of installation. That's what the slowdown when it appears tends to be.
So, yes, a few hours of downtime wasn't the intention. Firstly we had some problems with updated programs conflicting with each other, making it necessary (among other things) to uninstall PHP during the software update. That meant that all the sites were down during a time we were intending to keep them up. Then, that "one particular very important bit of software in the background that may slow things down a bit" ended up stopping the entire system from working when we tried to reboot. But it's working now.

If you knew arrest situations were the leading circumstances for felonious killings of police officers in 2012 (25 percent), would you review the way your agency handles arrests? What if you also knew arrest situations constituted the number one circumstances leading to felonious killings for the last 10 years (23 percent)? Would you consider policy changes and possibly modify training practices to incorporate safer, more up-to-date techniques? Finally, what would you do if you learned that the FBI's Law Enforcement Officers Killed & Assaulted (LEOKA) data revealed that arrest situations were the number one circumstances for felonious killings of police officers for the last 20 years (27 percent)? As related to accidental deaths in 2012, would you consider changes to policy or to your vehicle skills curriculum if you knew the leading cause of accidental death for police officers (81 percent) involved motor vehicle crashes and traffic enforcement? If not, you are missing a valuable training opportunity. The intrinsic value of the LEOKA data is captured in a quote attributed to Winston Churchill, "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
The FBI began collecting line-of-duty death statistics in 1937 and has continued every year since. If we study how officers died in the past, we can put preventative measures in place in the present that will minimize risk in the future. Law enforcement must become more proactive in its analysis of training needs and safety policies. Widely known as a risk management expert with more than 33 years of law enforcement experience, Gordon Graham coined the phrase, "If it's predictable, it's preventable." Why wait until an officer is critically injured or killed before we identify deficiencies and minimize high risk factors?
The following is an example of data available on the FBI's website, http://www.fbi.gov. Users can click on "Stats and Services" in the top banner, choose "Crime Statistics/UCR" from the drop-down menu, scroll to the "Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted" collection, and open the publication for calendar year 2012. The data tables include the current numbers for officer deaths. The same information is available for every year back to 1996. Knowledge is power, and the following statistics arm administrators and trainers with the power to understand the most frequent dangers that officers face.
Mr. McAllister, formerly with the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department, serves as a training instructor with the FBI's Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted Officer Safety Awareness Training Program.
In 2012, 49 officers were feloniously killed in the line of duty: 12 in arrest situations, 9 while investigating suspicious persons/circumstances, 8 in traffic pursuits/stops, 6 in an ambush, 5 in tactical operations, 4 while responding to disturbance calls, 3 while handling or transporting prisoners, 1 while involved in investigative activity, and 1 while handling a person suffering from mental illness. Of these 49 feloniously killed, 44 were shot and killed with firearms, and 33 of these were with handguns. Of these 44 officers shot and killed, 28 were killed within 10 feet of their attackers. Of these 28 officers, 24 were killed within 5 feet of their attackers. Even more startling, of the officers killed by firearms, 73 percent died with their service weapons in their holsters or without firing a single shot.
In 2012 law enforcement agencies reported 52,901 officers assaulted in the line of duty. This number is low because only 64 percent of the agencies providing UCR data to the FBI actually submit assault data for law enforcement officers. However, from the data the FBI received, 10 percent of law enforcement officers were assaulted in the line of duty, and 28 percent of these assaults resulted in injuries.
Of these assaults, 33 percent involved disturbance calls, 15 percent occurred while attempting to arrest, and 14 percent happened while handling or transporting prisoners. Further, 80 percent of the weapons used in the assaults were personal weapons (fists, elbows, knees), 14 percent dangerous weapons, 4 percent firearms, and 2 percent knives or other cutting instruments.
Of the 48 accidental deaths reported in 2012, 39 involved motor vehicle accidents or traffic enforcement (just over 81 percent). Here is the breakdown of those numbers: 23 were involved in motor vehicle accidents, 6 were involved in motorcycle accidents, 8 were struck while directing traffic, 2 were struck while executing traffic stops or road blocks, 3 were killed in aircraft crashes, 3 died in falls, 2 were shot and killed by other officers in cases of mistaken identity, and 1 died in an ATV accident. These statistics show that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of accidental deaths to law enforcement officers, and excessive speed and failure to wear seatbelts played a significant role in these numbers.
Although annual LEOKA data is a reliable source of information regarding issues facing law enforcement officers, the numbers become more valuable and useful to agencies when a comparative analysis over time identifies dangerous trends and patterns. Looking at all of the LEOKA data gathered over a 10- or 20-year period provides law enforcement agencies with a clearer picture as to where they can better direct training needs and available resources. While one year of data could be an anomaly, longitudinal analysis provides statistical validity and reliability.
Leaders should review LEOKA data, study the numbers, and identify dangerous trends and patterns. By proactively addressing these high risk areas, officer safety will increase. The LEOKA Program is all about the numbers—increasing the number of officers going home after every shift and reducing the number of officers added, year after year, to the National Law Enforcement Officers' Memorial.
