ep 76: Get Your First (or next!) Client Masterclass | Day 1

Beyond the Classroom

This is Part 1 in a 3 part series, Get Your First (or next!) Client Masterclass.

We're going to spend three episodes learning the step by step process to get your first (or next!) client! This process has worked for me, and for dozens of my clients! I encourage you to committ, listen to the episode (and relisten too, if you need to!), and do the accompanying homework below to get the most out of this masterclass! Make sure to reach out and send me a DM on IG and let me know what resonates!

Here’s the homework that accompanies this episode:

PART 1:

Create three broad buckets of people who you’d like to work with. (This might be “moms” “coaches” “teachers” “nurses” “college students”). It’s okay to be broad right now so don’t overthink it. We’re not worrying about niching down today; we’re just gonna move and get this first iteration going.

For each bucket, write a short statement:

What’s their problem? (1 sentence!) (examples- confidence, they want a new job, they want to start a podcast but don’t know how, etc.)

What’s keeping them up at night? (just 1-2 sentences!) (examples- I wish I had more confidence to speak up for myself. I wish I could find a new job that fulfills me. I wish I knew how to start a podcast to share my thoughts.)

PART 2:

On a piece of paper, create four columns.

In the first column, make a list of five people you know IRL that you’d like to work with. (DON’T OVERTHINK THIS and write it BEFORE you start to question anything, girl.) In the first column, also make a list of five people you “know” on socials that you’d like to work with. (Same; don’t overthink.)

Now you should have a list of ten people. (Also, if you ALREADY have a list, ADD ten more to it today!)

Side note: If you have a course or a product, that’s totally fine. Think of ten people who you would like to purchase from you.

In the second column, a short statement about why you want to work with them. (DON’T OVERTHINK this! It can be as simple as “I know in my gut I can help them.” or simply “I would like to go to happy hour with this person.”)

In the third column, a short statement about how you can help them (DON’T OVERTHINK THIS EITHER. It’s okay if it doesn’t align with your “niche.”) Examples: I can help her gain more confidence. I can help her begin to speak up about what she wants. I can help her find more balance and joy in her job. I can help her create more time in her day.

WARNING: You WILL feel resistance doing this homework. It’s okay (that means it’s working!) I’m inviting you to push through, and trust the process here. I’m inviting you to do the work, and know you are fully loved and supported even if you don’t have everything figured out yet.
