Most of us know what we DON’T want in a customer, but wouldn’t it be more effective to know what we DO want? Also, how much we are willing to give to the people who we love and to who help us pay our bills…and even the sales people we associate with.
Well, whatever you think about is what you create. Here’s my personal list. I mentor many other healers and people who want healing practices so I hope my list triggers some processing for you and ideas as to what you want to accomplish for YOUR business.
