Tonight I had my first meeting with new clients. They are also the first clients of my new venture of marriage education/preparations/enhancement. The Marriage Academy has students! I had so much fun working with them and giving them my plan for making their future marriage a proactive marriage. They were excited about it, listened to my every word, felt comfortable sharing and THANKED ME as they were leaving. That 'thank you' meant a lot. It exhibited trust in my skills and that they like me. Then I came home and conducted a phone consultation with another potential couple-client. I'll be following up with them tomorrow as they needed to discuss it.This is was what I needed at this time, as I was beginning to doubt the viability of my business. Trust that I never doubted my ability to do the work (and do it well). But I did doubt my ability to sell myself effectively enough to get clients - consistently. I still have some tweaking to do on the structure of my consultation, but I've learned and that's what's important.So today was a good day. My batteries have been recharged and I'm ready to make a positive impact in the lives of more and more NYC couples, as soon as they find me. I love my "job".www.NatashaCrawford.com
How exciting. You have found a niche service that is certainly needed. Black folks have struggled w/out seeking outside help for so long (to our own detriment) that I am so glad that people are beginning to seek help.....especially with you! Congrats!
