Here are the highlights of this episode:
2:07 Loren’s ideal Client: My ideal clients are service-based entrepreneurs and business owners who charge by the hour, the session or the project. They wanted to be able to earn more money, however, they don't want to make the sacrifice of their lifestyle in order to be able to have more revenue coming in.
2:36Problem Loren helps solve: The primary problem is how to earn more without having to sacrifice other parts of their life in order to be able to bring more revenue. Basically, what they don't know how to do is to separate their fees from time. And when their income is connected to their time, they are having to give up other important parts of their life if they want to earn more money. That's a big problem.
3:19Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Loren: The thing that comes up to them a lot of times is that they want to raise their rates however they are afraid of losing clients. Nobody else maybe charges more than that. They feel that their geography can only handle a certain amount for that rate, and they won't tolerate more.

Therefore, it actually doesn't encourage or incentivize you to become more efficient, and really gain more expertise in what you do.
4:26What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Loren and her solution: What happens is, when they are talking with someone or in any type of networking or marketing, they are focusing on the features, the products, the steps as opposed to the benefits and outcome. That is because the products, the system, the steps, is important to you as the business owner. You invested a lot of time, money, and effort in gaining that level of expertise or that process. However, that's not what your clients is really investing in. Your clients actually invest in your expertise in what you know and not what you do. What you have to show them is that what they have to gain from investing in you is going to be greater than the fees that they actually pay for your service. I just want to say that one more time for emphasize: clients need to believe that the investment that they are going to make in working with you is less than what they hav...
