Mindset Issues

Mindset is your attitudes, beliefs, and habits of thinking that make reality for you.

The mindset issues are:

The belief that you cannot sell
Scarcity

Consulting is someone who is an external resource to an organization that gets paid to provide a service.

I Can’t Sell

Bad experiences with bad sellers lead many to think they cannot sell. You have to believe that the service you provide is really valuable.

What can I do to help the client I want to serve in the market I want to serve to reach their goals? Distill this into a value proposition in enough detail that you believe it.

Knowing the difference between need and demand is important.

You need to talk to people who can tell that there is a demand that you can fulfill.
