How can you strengthen your leading position and presentation online and attract the attention of your target audience? Without having to unpleasantly "expose" yourself, put everything out on the street and subject yourself to all the perfect strategies that don't suit you at all. Because the possibilities and the must-haves and must-do's for building, scaling and growing your business are dizzying. Not to mention the grandiose revenue promises of 10K in 3 months, 100K launches etc... And then wondering, why can't I succeed?
But what is your way now, your own idiosyncratic way?
For starters, resign yourself to the fact that you are not there for everyone. Be happy. You don't even want that many clients, because that comes at the expense of the value and quality you want to provide.
But what is? Because working harder, that's not what you want and that's not going to achieve what you want to achieve.
It's better to have it quiet so you can spend your time and energy on those things that matter.
So how do you break through the noise and online violence? So that you are seen, noticed and appreciated?
The ideal route to achieve that is not a one-size-fits-all. And just as well because for me that would make life and entrepreneurship boring and monotonous. Instead, I want to do it my way, not be limited by fixed outlines and paths trodden by the mob. Precisely being free to go my own way, both business and personal is one of my core values. Having the freedom to do it my own way. To live my life in which I am meaningful and am seen and appreciated for who I am, what I give and can share that with others. Going together for better and making the world a little more beautiful again.
And then HOW do you show and make clear WHO you are, WHAT you DO and WHAT value you add?
The authority of your market
About claiming authority - both online and offline - numerous strategies in the field of marketing have been published in books and blogs. Mostly a convergence of marketing tips, influence principles and neuromarketing. But what exactly is authority? It sounds so distant.
The encyclopedia describes authority as a state in which people listen to you because of your position and your qualities. And then again, it sounds interesting! The word state implies that it is nothing permanent. You can get into the state and attract it, but you can also detach from it and repel it. And that's also what a good position is going to do for you: attract your top customers and repel the rest.
You want to present yourself in your own, honest and trustworthy way to your top clients.
Your audience must not only know what you have to offer, but also understand why you are the authority - the-to-go-to expert.
Visionary Leadership
Achieving your authority status requires leadership. Your visionary leadership position.
A visionary leader = You as the leader of your life, your professional life, your business and your future. With foresight, standing strong in your position. On your stage where you feel at home, you confidently present your value to your clients. And then they see you, start following you and once they are convinced that YOU are the one they want to work with to solve their problem....
Then you will be the opMARKable leader with a vision that inspires, the incomparable to your top customers, the market leader in your industry.
The unique combination of your geniuses, values, preferences and personality
First, credibility is indispensable. Excellence in your craft, proven results and a portfolio of transformations are your foundation.
And now for the crux: aligning your business foundation and business strategy with your innate and learned strengths. This is not about "fighting" against your nature; it's about fully utilizing and embracing it to enhance your success.
Ultimately, it's about being honest with yourself, identifying where your true talents, geniuses and values lie, and aligning your leadership and business strategy with your personality as well as the conditions on which you want to live and do business. Choose the route that not only promises success, but fulfills you on every level.
So that at the end of your life you can look back - I got everything out and my legacy is valuable and matters.
There are leaders and there are those who lead.
Leaders hold a position of power or influence.
Those who lead inspire us.
Whether individuals or organizations, we follow those
who lead not because we have to, but because we want to.
We follow those who lead not for them, but for ourselves.
- Simon Sinek
Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action
As an audiobook, I have already read this book rambling. With the one-liner that sticks: Because in business it doesn't matter what you do, it matters why you do it.
With that thought, food for thought. Are you standing strong on your leadership position? And if so, why do you want to do this for your top clients? What is that you have to do in life? #legacy
One Life. Lead it. Live it.
Have a great week,
