Money comes from other people

Money comes from other people...
For the most part, money doesn't come into your business because you deserve it: it comes when you sell something people want.
Being a good person -- one who deserves good things to happen -- is very important, and a part of Life's purpose.
But that's beside the point: being a good person doesn't automatically translate into clients and money.
Neither does your passion, nor your good ideas... except in the long term (sometimes, very long term).
Money comes from other people who understand that your service is what they want to buy.
So whenever you are wanting more clients, focus on other people and what they want.
Especially, focus on what they are buying that is similar to your service.
How is your service a better fit for them, compared to what they are already spending money on?
If they're *not* already spending money on something similar to your service, you have a choice:
Choice 1: Educate them enough that they will eventually decide to start spending money on something they never bought before. (This is the long path, but one where you get to focus primarily on developing and sharing your content / passionate message. Do this if you don't need money anytime soon.)
Choice 2: Find people who already spend money on your type of service, and find what groups they are in, or where else to talk to people like them. The sooner you need money, the more you will need to focus on doing this, and enrollment.
(Or, you could do both of the above, but it requires good time management!)
And all along the way, continue to practice virtue and be the most caring person you can be!
