Have you ever wondered how to find more clients?

Or maybe you are happy with your leads right now but also ready to think about new ways to grow your audience and your leads?

Oftentimes, when I’m speaking with clients they are looking to work with people like themselves. So my teacherpreneur clients are looking for other teachers, my business coaches are looking for other coaches, etc.

This can be one of the key reasons why they don’t sign clients as quickly as they should.

Here’s why: When I started my online coaching business I wanted to work with other full time teachers.

I thought for sure it would be an easy yes for teachers because after all, I was just like them. So I showed up where teachers showed up…and instead of hearing an easy yes, I found resistance.

That is the amount of time it takes a prospective follower and possible future client to read your instagram bio, and sometimes it can be as little as three seconds. That’s how long you have to get their attention, and tell them why they should follow you.
