1.)    Get clear on your big picture. Why do you want to make money?  What do you VALUE?  How will money help you live your values? (For me, I value sending my kids to college, traveling the world with my family, having the freedom to have fun with my family and friends, taking great care of myself, giving money to disadvantaged children- especially in third world countries.  That is why I make 6-figures and work for myself.

How about YOU?  What do you value most and how will a bigger income help you live your values?

2)    How much money do you want to make next year? Stretch yourself. The money goal you set should make you a little uncomfortable.  The amount needs to be at least 50% above your prior income.  (And yes, you can get there in this economy).

3) To reach your money goals, offer a variety of services and programs that you know your ideal clients want.  If you aren’t 100% certain of what they want (not just what you think they want), survey them now.  And remember, people don’t pay a lot of money for information, they pay a lot of money for transformation.

4)    Offer two or three payment options. I’ve recently allowed longer payment plans and I know some of my platinum clients have really appreciated it.  Offer a reduced full-pay option and two or three payment plans.

5)    Invest in a Platinum Coaching Program that includes:

• high-level masterminding
• savvy list building and up-to-date marketing strategies
• customized business development that highlights your unique offerings.

Nothing will pull you forward faster and hold you more accountable than a masterful Platinum coaching program. Find a mentor that you resonate with, whose values you share, and who is where you want to be.  And then invest in yourself – this will be the single best business decision you’ve ever made.
