Motivational SuccessL A Personal Note
Don't be a people pleaser, you're not going to please every one all the time, however, they'll be satisfied when it's done well. Don't worry about what other people thinkor say about you, worry about what you're doing and how well you do it. If you love what you do, then, do what you love doing. Your talent will come out, be good at it, success and prosperiety will come.
Work with your clients, find out what their needs are. what they like and dislike also thieir ideas of what they want. Be creative, imagineering, idealistic, a dreamer and a visionary. Give them some sugestion and ideas, show them a vision of what it would look like by invisioning their ideas and being creative.
After all they are the ones you have to make happy and satisfied. When the project is done, sit with them and ask them a few question, in example, "What do you like about the project?" and "Is their anything that could be done differently or are you very satified with the project?" and "would you reffer me to all those you know?" and/or "Do you have any refferals you can reffer to me?" and/or " you have any comments about the project you like?"
Also ask them about any ideas they may have that can help improve your projects. Good or bad constructives sujestions are important, as long as they are possitive. Reguardless of what they're about the project, it's about making the client valuable and making them feel important. It shows you care about what their needs are and in turn, they'll more likely want you back again and again. That there, says, they're quite satisfied and alot to be said
You don't have to say the question exactly the way I say it, put it into your own words. Say it from your own heart and believe in yourself. Throw your heart out there and go after it. Do what you love doing and the blessing will follow.
The clients will see the work you do and how good you are at it and why you love doing it. Thats what make a project go well, but learn from it by making improvements as you get better everytime. What I tell you is what helps me do better by what I love doing by doing what I am good at.
It takes time and hard work. When you're dedicated and comitted to all that you do. YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL at all that you do. Learn from your mistake and do it better next time. So ask them, ask and you shal receive.
However, Majority of the time, when you do a fantastic job, your client will want you back again and usually tell you that they know some people that need projects done and will connect you with them. Before you know it, they'll be bragging about much they love your work.
Automatic refferalls. Some times people will see you doing the project and ask for your contact info that may require your sevices, Now thats pretty sweet.
Nothing is going to be an easy peasy lemon squeazy, but once you work hard at it, you'll get there. Remember what I said, But put it into your own words. Say it from your own heart and believe in yourself. Throw your heart out there and go after it. Do what you love doing and the blessing will follow. Your business is like a baby, You have to feed it, nurish it, care for it and so on. Build it to be a growing heathy successful business
