The other day I had my first client through our new Coaching Cognition platform that we are soon going to introduce you to officially.

I had a little communication back and forth through email with my client who was really eager to make progress with his business online.

He already had a few pieces of content out there, professionally projected videos and even an online community.

However, one thing that I could sense after talking to him on our first 15-minute free consultation and after looking over his content was that he was not completely clear on some of the main fundamentals. This was putting him in a risky position to really get bogged down with moving forward in the wrong direction.

One of the first things I wanted him to get clear on was “who is his target market”, then identify “what he is actually selling to his target market” so that he can start correctly on the path of monetization (i.e making money).

I referred him to the free amazingly valuable “The 7 Lessons to Attract Prospects to You” by Mike Klingler the founder of Renegade Professional.

Before our first session together my client was able to focus on these two fundamental questions with the help of Mike’s 7 Lessons and that had a huge impact on the progress we made and the confidence that started to exude from my client.

He felt as if a huge weight has been lifted from his shoulders. It felt as if he had just found his identity in his online business and he was now able to confidently continue moving forward with establishing his presence online because he had clear idea on the type of efforts he should put forth with very defined and sharp focus.

Why are these questions so important to be answered in detail?

This is exactly what Mike Klingler will share with you and much more in the “The 7 Lessons To Attract Prospects to You.” These are basic fundamentals that can help you get started properly with online attraction marketing. Without them it’s almost certain you will get lost, feel confused and overwhelmed. This is absolutely true and I feel the need to emphasize it here so that you realize that the next thing you should do before continuing forward with your day of building your business is reviewing the 7 lessons right away.

If you’ve been at the free attraction marketing system Renegade University you might have received the 7 lessons in your email box.

But if you haven’t you have access to the 7 lessons in your Renegade Professional back office at the very top when you login to your account.

Why is it important that you review these 7 lessons even if you have done so in the past?

Because when you started your business, or when you reviewed the 7 lessons you most likely were on a completely different state of mind that the state of mind you are now. You are either progressing or you are stuck. Either way reading the 7 Lessons again can help you gain even more clarity and either confirm that you are on the right track and help you gain new ideas, or put you back on the right track.

Go to your Renegade Professional back office by logging in at MarketingMerge.com and once you login click on the link at the very top of the page that says: The 7 Lessons To Attract Prospects to You

Enjoy!

  1. Didi,
    You make a very good point in steering us back to the basics.

    It is so easy to be energetic in moving forward in the strategies of Attraction Marketing without reviewing the central focus of our marketing. We tend to not revisit tutorials that are so foundational to our success.

    I was just thinking today, how differently I would approach setting up a new blog with the knowledge I have now.

    Going back to the tutorials in Renegade Professional now, has great value to me, viewing them with “different eyes”. I know I am going to benefit hugely, taking your advice and acting on it.

    Congratulations to the first student of Coaching Cognition and his work to put some puzzle pieces in place with a little guidance.

    How cool that free tutorials available in Renegade University makes that kind of impact. This reflects the incredible value of Renegade University and Renegade Professional

    Thanks & apologize for all inconveniences caused.

  3. DiDi,

    Thanks for keeping us focused and organized!

    Some say knowledge is power, but if it isn’t organized, focused and put into action, nothing will become of it!

    I couldn’t find a better group of people to keep myself surrounded by.

    Thanks for the update!

  4. Thanks for this Didi, I have a coaching client that I’m going to be with in a few days. I’ll make sure and check that this client has done these fundamental things.

  5. Didi,
    What a great article.
    I ask myself why did it appear this morning when I had already planned my day?
    Because this was just what I needed.

    It is appropriate just as I am re-thinking again “Who is my Target Market” and shall I begin a new blog with the knowledge I have now.
    and look from a different perspective.

    The value that Renegade University continues to give, much of it for free, is really quite remarkable..

    When I first began it was like a sprint to get through all the trainings as quickly as possible. How wrong can you be? Now I am re-visiting and understanding the messages and information that is being delivered.

    Thank you for this today.

  7. DiDi -

    You remind me a little of the great coach Vince Lombardi.

    At the beginning every training camp, he would assemble all of the players for a meeting. In this meeting, he would walk in, hold up a football and say, “This is a football.” Now, that may sound ridiculous, since he was coaching some of the greatest professional football players of their time, but it was just his way of getting his players to focus on the basics. He was adamant that his players were proficient in the fundamentals before they moved on to anything else, which is probably why his teams were so successful.

    Many times we find some new tool, or discover a hot new social media site, and we lose focus of the fundamentals of how to succeed. We get distracted with trying to implement our plan, and often forget what the plan actually is.

    Thanks for reminding us.

  8. We think that once we’ve read it or viewed that we know it.

    Unfortunately, that is not so. Thanks Didi, for steering us back to the basics. Of course knowing your target market is key or else, one is just putting up wallpaper that has no glue.

  9. Hi Didi,
    Thanks for the great reminder!
    I recently went through a very similar situation where I had not clearly defined my target market and what I was offering.
    With the help of a coach, Steve Anderson, I was able to get that clarity and now I feel like I’m off and running again.
    I agree that without that clarity there is lots of overwhelm.
    But with the help of Renegade Professional, reviewing the basics and even a coach it doesn’t have to be that way!

  10. Didi, what a great point you make.
    I remember clearly the day I started getting the 7 Lessons and I was blown away by the valuable information provided in these lessons all for free.

    It is the major reason I joined Renegade Professional.

    You have motivated me to go back and re-read the lessons to not only help myself but anyone else I can along the way.

  11. Thank you so much for that advice, DiDi! I will definitely go through the lessons again.

    It is all about programing. De-program and Re-program. It would require us to get rid of the old ways of thinking… the ways which are not working, and learn new skills by participating and taking action. Practice doing something over and over again. For example, do not just read a book once… read it 7 times, and eventually it will be burned into our minds and souls, thus programing ourselves.

    Going over the 7 Lessons To Attract Prospects To You, will likely give me so much more clarity, taking me to other levels of achievement and then allowing me to move forward that much further.
    Thanks again, Diyana!

  12. Didi,
    You make such a good point by bringing those of us who have been doing this for awhile to keep the basics we learned in the beginning as our foundation.

    Sometimes we all need to be reminded and to check ourselves by revisiting the beginning! Even though we may know better there are still many times where we can feel quite overwhelmed. Going back and reading the 7 Lessons again helps us all take a deep breath and realize that the path we are on is a good one.

    Comment by LeeAnn McVey — October 20, 2009 @ 7:40 pm

  13. Didi,
    Good reminder. Focusing on the fundamentals never gets old or goes out of style. So often, it’s just what we need when our progress slows down or we start to get confused.

    Hey, if it’s good enough for Vince Lombardi, it’s good enough for me!
    Thanks for that comparison, Patrick. It’s a good perspective.

  14. Thanks, for the solid reminder, Didi.

    Sometimes, in an effort to ‘get as much as we can’ in gathering information, we can simply overlook some simple basics; like the 7 Lessions.

    Thanks, again for the reminder

  15. Thanks for the reminder, Didi

    I had gotten off track and really wasn’t sure what direction to take. But now i will go back and then try to get back on track thanks a lot.

    Comment by Jerry — October 22, 2009 @ 11:23 pm

  16. Hi Didi,
    Thanks for reminding the basics of network.This is what is required when we are not getting the results.

What People Are Saying...

I just wanted to send you a note to finally acknowledge and thank you so very much for all of the help and support you’ve so freely given me over the past 5 weeks since I first became aware of and got involved with Renegade University and Marketing Merge.

I recently upgraded to the Professional level and am both impressed and in awe of all the training you provide.

You truly live up to your credo of actually delivering content-rich value. I’m completely “buying” into your philosophy & taking to heart all the advice you offer.

I just finished going thru the Professional Level Tutorials and am mixing that with rereading a few chapters from Ann’s book every day.

Today I’m planning on delving into the 1st of the Social Network Training with Squidoo. By the way, I already printed out the ‘Prepare Yourself To Win’ section.

You’re absolutely right when you say that it can be overwhelming and I fully appreciate your advice on taking the training slowly – in digestible, bite-sized pieces.

Thank you for all you’re providing, and am looking forward to a long & very successful relationship with you as my mentor.

David Erstein
