Can I quote you on that:
- You can’t find out who your ideal client is just thinking about them on a piece of paper, you have to connect with them.
- You can’t help every body. It’s not possible. Drill down, or you’ll help nobody.
- Your ideal client needs to be someone who that loves you and what you’re doing, but you have to also love them back.
- The most important thing about discovering who your ideal client is mindset. How do they feel? What are their triggers? What are their happy spots?
- The best thing you can do is create a guided experience to generate feedback.
- All of the answers you’re looking for about your ideal client are in the stories they tell.
