Are you starting a new business? Ever wonder how you can attract customers to your new business? First of all if you are going to be in businesses for yourself do something you really, really enjoy. Be passionate about whatever business or work you are in. Keep yourself rested and try to have some fun every day of your life. Other people which include customers to your business are not attracted to people who stressed out, worried all the time, tired all the time or does not seem to be having too much fun at what they are working at.
When it comes to doing things you enjoy, it really shows to others. If you love what you are doing you will become very good at it. You will learn more about it quicker than a subject you are not the least bit interested in but just have to do in order to earn a paycheck. You will talk about what you love and are passionate about. You will connect with other people and they will “catch” that same joy you experience and communicate. Things will happen.
Be bold, choose your own path and proceed with that path unstoppable. Even in business, people are attracted to individuals who choose their own path and pursue it with a vibrant passion.
Be meticulous about details. Pay attention to your presentations, the packaging and the delivery of your services or goods.
Arrange your business and your life so you can take advantage of creativity at the moment it happens. This might be a hard one for people who have to be on a particular schedule. I personally despise schedules. They tear me up. I cannot function on a set schedule. When I do I feel like someone else’s robot. The most wonderful thing about my lifestyle now is this freedom to sleep, eat and work when my mind and body says to do those things.
Take care of yourself extremely well. Become extremely and incredibly selfish; manage your time, your space and your life well. You will end up having more to give and more to share. After all if you don’t take care of yourself first and extremely well how can you expect to serve the needs of others?
Respond immediately to phone calls and e-mails. Answer all questions to the fullest of your ability. Go the extra mile. This really does work more often than not.
Do more than you are asked to do, provide more, go further with people than you are paid for. I was this type of person even when I worked for someone else.
I once worked as a clerk-typist and was called upon to do the work of the account clerk while she was out on maternity leave. Before she left she was to give me training. Well….training was not enough for me. I took extensive notes and ended up writing an entire procedure manual for her particular position, which helped me tremendously while she was out on her maternity leave. My supervisor at the time was quite impressed. He ended up utilizing that job procedure manual for other staff members.
I, of course, was like the working 9 to 5 girl who did all the work and received none of the credit. It was truly all taking and no giving. Oh I got a Thank-you and an extra pat on the back from my supervisor. My peers were not so happy with me, however. I stayed there only about a year needless to say. I had a lot of fun in that job! And….I did go the extra mile just for the internal joy of it. All I needed to do was a few simple chores for this girl while she was out on maternity leave, but that streak of creativity hit me and I ended up writing an entire procedure job manual for that particular job! I enjoyed writing the manual more than the boring chores of the actual job. So…..add value just for the joy of it! I did not get extra money in my paycheck for all that extra work.
Decide what your personal values are in life. Spend your days living in harmony with your values. You will become energized, at peace with yourself, focused and attractive to others. Work on becoming YOU as a unique, gifted, and unforgettable individual. I know I have been pretty unforgettable in some of my jobs, not always in positive ways however. I certainly try, and keep on trying, always never giving up those things in life that are most valuable to me.
These are just a few tips that may help you get started attracting others to you and your new business.
