If You Schedule it, They'll Come

"If you build it, he'll come."--The Voice, in A Field of Dreams

Recently, while communicating on my Facebook for massage therapists, an LMT in New York State asked me how to get more clients. I asked her how many more sessions she wanted to do each week, and how much time she had for them. She said she wanted 10 more weekly clients. A business coach for massage therapists and alternative healers, I proceeded to teach her a secret for manifesting that I teach in some of my continuing education courses that wasn't mentioned in The Secret, the best-selling video and book. In other words, you heard it here first.

Step one, I told her, was to block off time in her calendar for these 10 new clients. In her case, what made the most sense was to add two more clients at the end of each of her five workdays, say, from 3--4 PM, and from, say, 4:15--5:15 PM. In and of itself, that doesn't automatically cause 10 new clients to ring her up on the phone and ask her for late afternoon appointments--at precisely the time when she wants them. But, I told her, here's the kicker: if no new client shows up on Monday from 3--4 PM, when you're "expecting" him, then work on marketing your business at that time. Since it's already blocked off for a session, it becomes more possible for such a person to learn about you and reach out for you. Ditto from 3--5:15 PM when there's another open slot for such a person.

You can also use part of that blocked-off hour to do some "inner" work to help manifest such clients, such as the affirmation exercise, among others. This I've already explained in previous columns. Build new clients into your consciousness and schedule book, and happy manifesting!
