Clarity on Your Needs and Your Life Purpose

I had the pleasure of Interviewing Beth Davis, The Hand Analyst, in my role as host of Wonderful Web Women. Beth has a unique approach to getting clarity on your life purpose and also your business and marketing message. I'd like to share just a few of the incredible skills she shared with us today on getting clarity in your business and then also how to get clarity on your customers' needs.

Clarity On Your Needs And Your Life Purpose

Beth discovered Hand Analysis when she had tried without success many techniques to get clarity on her passions and life purpose. The changes in her life were so dramatic she devoted herself to learning and mastering the techniques until the results were reliable and predictable. She now teaches others to do the same.

Beth's advice on clarity for yourself:

1. Get a hand analysis. It doesn't have to be from her, just get one!

2. Passion. This is essential for success. Beth's specialty is helping you discover your passion.

3. Day Dream. Give yourself permission to day dream. This is essential to visualising your goals

4. Be patient. Many people give up on their dreams before they eventuate. Keep faith in your dreams

5. Think big. Most people shrink their dreams to fit their income. It must be the other way around!

6. Ask yourself and the universe "What will I do in exchange for money to achieve my dreams and live my purpose?"

Clarity On Your Customer's Needs

It is essential you are clear on your own purpose before you grow your business. Don't assume you know what your customers want and are willing to pay. Here is a fool proof way to get clarity on your client's needs. Beth does this every 3 months.

Ask.

I know, it sounds obvious but what do you ask them?

It is important to not be too limiting in your questions as you will lose the gems. Here are Beth's suggested questions:

1. What is your greatest pain you would do anything to solve? (You can clarify this, such as what is your greatest problem with your niche, such as finances, pets etc)

2. How would your life be different if you solved this problem?

How do you ask them?

1. If you only have a few people, send an email or just ask them in person

2. If you have more than a handful, use a service such as Survey Monkey. (I've used this. It is great and free for less than 100 responses. I also use Ask Database) The information you get simply by asking these specific questions is incredibly powerful and will be the basis for your business. If you solve people's pain, you have guaranteed success.

The Second Life Platform - Greetings! I'm not sure how many of you have heard of or are sensitive to Second Life and its related entities. However, Second Life is a fantastic platform to mimmick real life business operations in a real currency based economy. There are plenty of successful stories for creative individuals, but I'd highly suggest doing your research and appreciating Second Life for what it is, and what it isn't.
Re: Clarity Trumps Persuasion - Jeff, Thanks, great stuff !!! Clarity or "KEEP IT SIMPLE" is probably the best advice anyone can ever give or get when involved in any business or personal situation. Over 30 years of manufacturing ladies apparel has taught me two critical business lessons: 1-You will never get a 100% perfect outcome so In the BEGINNING,take your time, exhaust all your resources and energy and plan, plan, plan. . . If it STARTS off right it you'll get close to the desired outcome. 2-Keep it simple I now will add "Clarity" to my formula for success. CLARITY AND KEEPING IT SIMPLE BREEDS SUCCESS . . . . I know the advice above is simple but isn't that what it's all about. Thanks Ringo, This information not only was great for my website but it reminded me that "keeping it simple and clear" got me and my teams through some wicked situations Best wishes Barry
Re: Clarity Trumps Persuasion - Wow, I would really recommend everyone to go through the presentation. It's not so much that it's new information, but their presentation simply reaffirms in a concise way what we know about marketing and sales conversion. Clarity trumps persuasion indeed!

So are you currently a member? And more importantly, have you tried to open a store front in that virtual world?
Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd] Hi Tami, You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
