Whether you own your own business or work for someone else’s business, the advice I give in the marketing course I teach for the
International Association of Professional Organizers (IAPO), is timely advice that will help you expand your prosperity consciousness. At the same time, this advice may seem extremely radical on the
surface. Bear with me ...
It is my belief that a good marketing plan should be designed to make everything you do obsolete.
When you are in business your goal should be to eliminate a problem that a client is experiencing. Therefore, setting up the right and perfect strategies for your clients means that in the long run those clients
should never have need of your products or services again.
They might have need of different services, such as creating a records retention policy, or doing records management/maintenance
on files each year, or they might need in house training to demonstrate to new employees how to use the systems that have been implemented.
For homes, they might need a home inventory, or they might need an
emergency plan, or they might need a room converted to another purpose after a child goes away to college, or after the client moves to a smaller/larger space, during a transition, after inheriting a bunch
of stuff from relatives, etc.
However, the original activity – the original product or service they came to you for -- should no longer be something they need.
For instance, when I wrote my book Bounce Back From Bankruptcy, I then looked at my marketing plan from the standpoint of 'what can I do to make this product obsolete?' The answer: Create a product or
service that would provide them with information and skills to avoid getting into the position financially where bankruptcy is a necessity.
This then led to the creation of my Break the Debt Cycle For Good workshop. In posing the question again, about how to make BTDC obsolete, I determined that the answer was to create a product or
service that would help them change the way they think and feel about money BEFORE they got into debt.
And so I created my Heal Your Relationship With Money workbook, workshop and booklet (soon to be a book). Then I posed the question again: how to make HYRWM obsolete, and came up with getting
people started on a healthy relationship with money right away. And Giving Thanks: The Art of Tithing was born.
With my coaching, I evolved from coaching that was oriented mostly toward credit counseling and bankruptcy recovery, to coaching that deals more with financial planning, goal setting, clear communication
in relationships and recognizing and releasing self-sabotaging activities.
Evolution is the key if you want your business to succeed or your work
to make a difference. Look at what IBM originally manufactured. If they
hadn't had Research and Development hard at work making their products
obsolete, they would have been out of business by now. Same with Ford
buggies and buggy whips just don't have a big market today.
Change is the only constant in business. Change with it and your business (and your life) will prosper in incredible ways.
