1. important goal I want to achieve this year – Lose weight to 83 kg – Sales goal of 97000 euros with my company Fodmap Foodies 2. Why haven’t I achieved it yet? – In terms of weight: I’m not strict enough with myself. I’m too easy. I ′′ like ′′ too much of myself. – In terms of turnover: I haven’t had the opportunities and time to achieve this yet. And I … Read More

Day 2 What do I appreciate about the other participants? – That they are open to feedback – I felt that some of the participants had really thought through an assignment which helped me understand them better in who they were and what they were doing – I appreciated the useful tips I read in between – I’ve provided some comments from participants below Day 3 What… Read More

Dear Maru, You are one of the sweetest persons I know. And I love how you asked beautiful and relevant questions to Nisandeh. What I also love about you is that you radiate peace and love. It is obvious that you love your husband and your baby very much. Love from me

Hi Lucie I don’t know you well but you indeed come across as an authentic and, above all, wise person.

Ah Marcel you are sure one of the beste WOMB participants! I felt involvement with some of the participants and you are one of them! Nice that you felt the same, love it <3.

Hi Marie-Louise, I love that in the WOMB you were always here to support everybody.

Hi Bas I loved your honesty.

Hi Marcel I saw your comments a lot and I love your enthusiasm and energy. I sure believe that you are a great coach!

Day 1 – That I’m a good listener – That I can focus – That I’m willing to help set up something new – That I actually do something when I have planned it – That I like to give presents to others – That I make time every month for me and my husband and that we go away for a weekend together – That I am there for my children when they need me and that I stand up for… Read More

Day 4 What were my values ​​and goals? – Complete task of my to do – Start and finish big project – Lose weight in a healthy way – Follow up prospects – “Little action I want to do” – Want to learn about a specific subject – More turnover – More fitness and muscle strength – Become successful in my business My new strategic plan: – Put ideas I have for th… Read More

Day 2 My triggers are mainly: I don’t do something or do it too late (postpone) because it takes time, I have no idea that it makes much sense or is useful. And because I think I like to be alone. As reward. Because I don’t feel well anyway and I think it’s no use now. Not clear what I want and just keep going. Don’t think it’s important enough at the moment. Priori… Read More

Day 1 Which sabotage patterns do I have? – Intend to do something but don’t feel like it that makes me play a game, or do some Googling – Going to bed too late because I want to finish something or because I want to watch another Netflix series – Snacking in between when I’ve planned to really leave it now – Only exercise 1 x a week while I exercise 3-4 x a week a w… Read More

Last assignments this week: What will I offer in the new year: – Giving workshop via Instagram (planned) – Live day for VIP members (I want to do in June) – Masterclass SIBO (I want to do in Oct/Nov) Which new marketing strategy will I try in 2023: – The price allows people to sign up for a live day so I already have some participants to cover the cost (start… Read More

Day 2 New ideas for marketing/strategies for 2023: 1. Use advertisements via fb / insta / LI 2. Post more videos, short ones for insta. 3. Post videos on YouTube channel 4. Generate more leads so that the mailing list grows and I can offer my new product(s). 5. Generate new giveaway to attract new leads. This may be something about bowel complaints themselves. And … Read More

Day 1 New ideas for my company’s products or services in 2023 1. Coaching through a group using an app 2. Workshop in instagram (recently done as a pilot and I will definitely do it in the new year) 3. Live event abroad 4. Live training as a masterclass for my ideal clients 5. New ebook fo… Read More

Hi Nisandeh, I was hard thinking about my last questions for you… 1)I have dietitians (my ‘ideal’ clients) who paid yearly a fee, for membership. This membership includes: listing on the website with their company details, monthly Q&A sessions and discounts for masterclasses. My question: I want to give these members the option to purchase a membership +. Thi… Read More

I haven’t taken the last 2 days to really think about this. I do have some ideas how I can optimize it better. Tomorrow I am going on vacation for 2 weeks. From the first week of December I will be ready again here in the WOMB .

Day 2 (and part of 3,4, 5) Easy to optimize – Request a free giveaway: weekly menu FODMAP -> advertising via Facebook, Google. Making more free giveaways. Cooperate with business people in the same area so she/he can send my free giveaway to their audience and I can send their free giveaway to my audience – Write on social media, blogs, emails that a new webinar/t… Read More

Day 1 What kinda works: – Posting on social media like Facebook page, Facebook stories, instagram page, instagram stories, Pinterest boards, you tube video – Request a free giveaway: weekly menu low FODMAP diet – Mails in the funnel with low product offerings – End of funnel offer online program – CTA in emails to leads and clients – Post reviews in blogs, in emai… Read More

Hope the finger of your wife will be soon oke!

Day 5 How can I double the items that are hard to double? – Double selling ebooks by bringing even more attention through social media, mails, affiliate, advertisements – My online program: more sales through a better funnel. Perhaps a new funnel. Or first a smaller offer and then an online program. Or first online program and then downgrade to a smaller program. By o… Read More

Day 4 Which requires some effort but I could double: – Leads coming in through free giveaway: running ads through Facebook, Instagram, Google. I could make multiple giveaways. – Give webinars-> give and schedule more!!!! I ‘must’ do this. I don’t plan it, but I “should” do it. If I’m asked to give a presentation, I give it. So I’m planning a reintroduction webinar … Read More

Day 3: Plan how I can easily double these items: – Deals / offers -> schedule more often on special days that there is a deal, so upcoming offers for Black Friday, Sinterklaas, Christmas. Now I have an ongoing deal in which I can make an offer to the participants for a next program. – Make an offer and email about it regularly -> now I haven’t done it enough. I am… Read More

WOW applause

Day 2 Easy to double: – Deals / offers – Make an offer and email about it regularly – A CTA in every email – Giving an offer immediately after a webinar = discount for the next webinar Takes some effort to double: – Giving webinars – Best-selling product (FODMAP shopping book) – Order bump for all products and offer more products – Sell ‘checklists’ in my funne… Read More

Day 1 Which tactics, strategies, products, actions, people produce the most in my business: – Giving webinars – Deals / offers – Most sold product is FODMAP shopping book – Best sales total products are all ebooks together – Highest turnover is from my Online Program and my Summer Deal – Most new customers at the beginning of the year – Best paid customers are a… Read More

What have I learned this week? That it is good to occasionally reflect on things in my business that do not work or do not work well, and that do not yield or yield bad results. Especially compared to the ‘effort’ I give. This also makes me understand more that it is important to spend more time on both the nice customers/clients, actions and strategies that matter. Whi… Read More

Day 5 Difficult to Eliminate: – Part of my funnel, I don’t think eliminate but optimize. My plan is in january to take a better look at the funnel for higher response and opening rate. And maybe I will take the funnel-leads in another list. And I think about to hire someone who is an expert in creating higher conversion in a funnel with active campaign

Day 4 Plan for what will require effort to eliminate: – No more posting on Facebook including stories and lives. I’m going to talk to a potential new VA tomorrow. Also listen to her ideas. And then decide whether to stop posting. Or only if it leads to a paid or free product for possible future advertisements. And not just about customer loyalty. – Affiliate for certa… Read More

WOW this makes clear how you come to your descicions and your next steps. Love it! Thanks for sharing

+1 . I am also very grateful Nisandeh! And so glad to see you in January. Still I will be curious about your new path and hope to see you some day in the future again. — but this is not the end—-

This helps me also. I do that in my ‘Penny’ for my prospects of networkmarketing, but nog for my prospects and clients of my own FODMAP business. Something to think about and to do. Thanks

Ah that is a good one! And most of all, the masterclass on demand about intermittent fasting with IBS is a very good masterclass I believe… but did not sell this one…. so I will make it another price! And indeed as a bonus it will look more valuable. Last summer I give it also as a bonus on my ‘summerdeal’ where I sold some trainings/webinars as a package.

Day 3 – Sell via instagram so including posting and creating stories -> my instagram business page has almost 6000 followers so I think I’ll move it to the ‘not so easy to eliminate- list – No more lives on my business Instagram and Facebook -> I have no problems with it, but it yields almost nothing. So I’m not going to do that anymore… even though it is advis… Read More

Day 2,…. gives me more questions… Easy to eliminate: – Sell via instagram so including posting and making stories – No more lives on Instagram and Facebook – Blogs without a CTA – Collaborate with bloggers and dietians who would help me. I have already removed this from my website as being ‘collaboration’ – 1 ebook only 1 sold last year so almost 0 – so I can… Read More

Not giving any results (or almost none): – Some FB posts in terms of likes and comments – Some Insta posts in terms of likes and comments – If I look at how many people/potential customers buy via FB or Insta, that is low. Especially via insta that is minimal, but not zero. – Part of my funnel doesn’t deliver a final result. And then that is the further down the funn… Read More

What did I learn last week? By rethinking my vision and putting it down well. I can use my vision in various places. And by looking closely at what works and does not work or works less well in my company, that I can choose more.

Day 5 What can be improved? – Go to network meetings – Sale of other digital products (ebooks) in addition to my 2 best running products – Better on social media (stories and posts) – The funnel in AC: Ask the reader more often a question – End of the funnel offer my online program – the opening rate kan be higher and the number of people who buy can be much hi… Read More

Day 4 What works best? – A CTA in email – Make an offer and email about it regularly – Giving an offer immediately after a webinar = discount for the next webinar – 1 specific product ‘low FODMAP grocery book’ always automatically sells well = best-selling product (digital and paperback) – Order Bump works well, allowing consumers to purchase more than 1 product du… Read More

Dank je wel!

Oh thanks a lot! I I put my cell phone in a tripod. I attached 2 lights to it. And in terms of editing I use iMovie and veed.io That’s all

Day 3 – Sometimes giving a free webinar – Webinar on demand for consumers – Many blogs without action/reaction or viewers – Lots of instagram posts – Some Facebook posts – Some Linkedin posts – 1 on demand webinar for healthcare professional – A one-time offer after prospects register for a webinar – Not finishing projects – To late making an offer or a disco… Read More

Most important: Trustworthy Healthy Happy

Dank je Lucie! Ik gebruik zowel iMovie als veed.io

My vision is that everybody with gut health issues live a better, happier and joyful life (is this better Vered?)

WOW great video and you have many subscribers!

you have a nice voice to listen to? (PS your profile picture and you in real does not look the same, I thought I was looking at someone else….)

Top Alma Tip: If you record a video, don’t forget to look in the camera instead of looking at yourself 😉

My videolink:

Day 1 My vision for my company is to show people that by adjusting your diet you can lead everyone a much better and happier life

Thanks a lot

Got to hear, thanks a lot

Hi Paul I think it will come to you of you give it a change. Listen to your heart. Listen to your gut. Listen to what people say about you. And what they ask you. And most of all, listen to yourself. Who do you wanna be? What do you wanna do / have done in your life? What makes you happy? And with whom? I believe that living a nice life that you love and besides t… Read More

Hi Marcel I think you are doing great on this WOMB program so love to follow you (if I can). About LinkedIn, I guess you can write a sentence in your bio who you are now and who you help and why. I changed my bio and my ‘welcome mail’ to my ideal clients in a way that we are thougth last… Read More

What do I want to focus on in the coming weeks? 1. Create a calendar for my website – Figuring out how I’m going to do that – On which (sub)page – Have planning Q4 and Q1 2023 ready 2. Money mindset – Follow Money club course – Look at numbers more often (turnover, profit, costs, conversion, funnel AC, etc) – In the coming months unt… Read More

Hi Nisandeh Thanks for your ideas. I immediately went into action yesterday by making a post with a question and that works! (only now I wonder what to do with the questions they have for me because I asked ‘If you could just ask me 1 question, what would it be?”. And I already make an optin for a ‘action-list’. So now I have to make it public I have this list 🙂 . … Read More

Day 4 What are my business weaknesses? I don’t always ask the right questions to prospects as a follow-up. I still don’t have my finances in order. Sometimes I have so much in my head that I rather do nothing and procrastinate than get to work I tend to do nicer ‘things’ first and put off what ‘needs’ to be done I can be impatient sometimes I can sometimes be di… Read More

oh wrong page

Day 3 What are my business strengths? I am good at creating ideas. I am good at social media. Create new followers. I generally have a positive mindset. If an order or taks is given, I make it and do it when I can (often quick). I am good at internet marketing. I am good at social media contacts. I clearly have a schedule per quarter, per week and per day I am… Read More

On November 1, I will be an entrepreneur for 12.5 years and I would like to do something fun, something surprising. My idea is to make 3 nice secret offers of €12.50, €125,- and €1250. I already have ideas what I will give for these amounts, such as an Instagram course and a 1:1 trajectory. I just don’t want to reveal that just yet. The value of these ‘secret offer… Read More

Day 2 What did I do right? I implemented the actions quite quickly. For example: – I immediately made a thank you email after the free giveaway. – My emails to the mailing lists now contain 1 x CTA (instead of 0 or more than 1) – I made a summer deal and marketed it in various ways and sold more than expected. – I interviewed my ideal client (the healthcare professional) knows exactly how best to give her ideal customer/client (someone with sensitive intestines and various complaints) the right advice and know-how so that this person can have a better life again… Read More

Day 3 Why am I qualified? I myself was born with sensitive intestines: as a child I always suffered from annoying intestinal complaints such as abdominal pain, abdominal cramps, constipation and flatulence. I have always found that very annoying and have also experienced situations in the well-being of others that I was ashamed of. My doctor told me that I had to eat… Read More

Day 2 Why… I like to help dietitians, lifestyle coaches and other healthcare professionals because I believe that the right nutrition have a major impact on the well-being of people with sensitive guts. I want to train and guide these passionate healthcare professionals so they will help many people to a better quality of life.

Love it! But Manny you are a millenial coach? Now I am a bit confused …..

I help dieticians and lifestyle coaches

Are this alle the people in the world who have problems with cycling or their bike? Or are they people who love biking in the Netherlands? (or ….)

Ah thanks. Honestly, I could have known this but did not come up in my mind. I will do some of your suggestions.

Maybe I misunderstood…. was the assignment to do a Q&A where viewers/customers answer my questions (because that doesn’t have to be live) or that the viewers/customers ask me questions that I answer? I assumed the latter. And I have a question about that. I do have experience with Q&As both live via ZOOM and live via social media. The downside of social me… Read More

Day 5 Ah I did not mention my blog! So I can immediately write a blog about the Q&A. This is the blog: https://www.fodmapfoodies.nl/fodmap-3/qa-live-vraag-me-alles/ And the post is published already on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fodmapfoodies?locale=nl_NL

Day 4 As I mentioned I scheduled my 2 Q&A as announcement posts on the same social media plaform on the same day. And I have 2 mailings ready (to subscribers and customers) in which these Q&As with dates and times are mentioned. What I also can do, is make some stories for the coming week about these Q&A’s. And I know myself, I will already make them…… Read More

Day 3 I immediately scheduled 2 moments: October 13 on Instagram and October 14 on Facebook. Both days at 12 noon I scheduled this on these social media channels as a post that is scheduled around 8 o’clock the same day. And I have 2 mailings ready planned (to subscribers and clients) in which these Q&As are mentioned with dates and time and where it is.

Day 2 The formats in which a Q&A can do – Via ZOOM – Via Webinar software system – Via social media platform such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube etc – Offline on a location – Zoom – Whatsapp or Telegram groups – On a congress/seminar – Phone How can I best attract the prospects/clients? I Think quite anonymously, so my prospect/customers via social medi… Read More

When are you giving your Q&A’s? Love to attend these 🙂

Why not Marcel, just go for it. By brainstorming you can tell what you are doing now and the rest of the attendees can tell how they are growing their lists. If you do, I will participate

Because why would I do Q&A? – Engagement followers and potential clients and current customers – Due to online visibility live, my follow-up posts will be better seen and read – I learn from the questions – I can use (some) of the questions again as content for my book, for videos and for blogs – After a live Q&A I can make a call to action such as referrin… Read More

Oke! Good to know

Day 5 I make a public commitment saying that I will 100% read, do and implement all upcoming lessons/assignments. I feel the time is right. I also want to make a WOMB program like that, and I’m going to do that. I’ve already brought it out on social media and mail, even though I don’t have anything on paper yet. I believe that I will (Nisandeh i wrote ‘If i c… Read More

Day 4 How can I be supported? I think I’m doing well. I am happy with my buddy Maru. I have the feeling that on Wednesday all the questions are about that week’s topic, while I have not yet started that week or just did. So I feel the Q&A is too early. I would like to be supported that if I have a question (for me it usually comes at the end of an assignment) … Read More

I cannot wait to see you live after all these years! Ahhh the worlds needs me… nice affirmation 🙂 Oke and other affirmation: I will do this I am succesfull I will make video’s I am an expert in the field of digestion complaints and food intolerance I will help the best idea… Read More

Day 3 What walls could hold me back in the coming days and what can I do about it myself? – I have some important presentations to give, and a team member of mine wants to step up in her career, so I can imagine that I mainly want to give my time and energy to that – I sign up quickly for free challenges and webinars to follow – I have something in my head, then I go… Read More

Day 2 What do I want to have achieved by the end of the WOMB program? I’m going to finish the program anyway. And what do I want to achieve? In any case, even more clarity and separation in the number of hours and the ways in which I work aimed at my new ideal clients. I want to partial… Read More

WOW 500! Congrats!

I have the same feeling. I was almost 3 weeks behind and want to do all the assignments but now I have the feeling of ‘must do’ in a running way. And not in a way as it was in the beginning.

I also agree with you Marcel! I want to know the WOMB people better and now the implementation is during the process all by yourself. That is ok, but I also learn a lot from others. Love also the ‘brainstormsessies’ – hope there will be more of that

What a great list Logan! Now I realize I also want a certificate for my ideal clients when they finished a course. For my to do list 😉

I am behind, so for sure catching in and go on to finish what I have started! What have I learned so far from this WOMB ? And what are my insights? – It is good to really look at yourself and your business in a new and calm way – Insight: I knew that I have many (potential) customers, but I thought not ideal customers. Through this program I found out who really co… Read More

Ofcourse I will be there on januari the 13th! I can not wait to see you live Nisandeh! And for sure I believe this course will be a breakthrough. My biggest insight from yesterday: I can write a new book in a simple way AND just by searching on a way (thanks for the magic links Nisandeh) I can make video’s about the most questions for my target audience / ideal clients and my biggest insight is that by doing that, I will get nice things in return 😀. I am now in the car to a hotel where I am celebrating 🥳 this with my husband. Going to relax in a wellness garden 😍. I loved the hot … Read More

👏🏻King Marcel

Great for your insight! I know it will bring you new ideal clients. I can relate to that. I had several businesses and recently sold one in may. I have a business with a lot of customers and I also realized a few weeks ago that they are not my ideal clients? 1. Suddenly calling them 2. Spontaneously drop by 3. Send flowers because I’m just happy with them 4. Post a nice post about them 5. Share their story on social media 6. Just send a present 7. Birthday Wishes 8. Refer someone 9. Ratin… Read More

Nice ones! I ‘steal’ nr 10 from you 🙂

yeah… I read it somewhere and on my (long) list “someday I will do this” is “make and send personal video’s”. I still haven’t done it yet, but def will do it. In my life I think I only get one personal video from a money businesscoach. Before this video I said to myself “I will never buy a program from her because I don’t like her voice” (stupid reason, but stil ha… Read More

Hi Marcel, that is a good one. More thinking about the custom experience. Thanks

Something to think about…

Thanks a lot Rudolph

As a ‘representative’ of my own company, I am approached by various companies to promote their website or their products (think of supplements or products from the supermarket). Or to work together in a certain way (like if I would place a banner on my website or if I will give trainings to their employees or if I will check a piece of text that specifically has to do with… Read More

Day 3 How can I get more personal? 1. Send a personal email in between and ask how they are doing 2. Call the person her name during a live webinar/ZOOM 3. Write a blog / post about the one ideal customer and mention her name 4. Give extra attention to the ideal customer on social media by responding more to her messages 5. If the (almost) ideal customer is intereste… Read More

Day 2 How can I give my ideal customers more than they expect? 1. Give away something for free, such as a tip, a checklist, or anything else they find useful 2. By giving away not 1 but 2 things 3. By sending a handy item after a training/webinar that they don’t expect 4. Or by giving them a present during a live training 5. Sending a present unexpectedly 6. If th… Read More

You have great ideas! I will steal number 1 and 12 of yours. 🙂

Oh nr 31 is a nice one! How do you do that?

Day 1 How can I make it easy for my ideal clients? – Send them my book – Shared tips about mnemonic (from my book) and emailing these/posting on social media – Collect the questions they can ask that are important for a good consultation and send this question to them – Make a step-by-step… Read More

Great list! I also use 2 of your items 🙂

Ah Machiel I was thinking in a very different way to make it easier for my clients. I was thinking about tips and how I can help them. This is another perspective but also valuable. Thanks

Hi Manny I can relate to that. So often I get in my inbox if I want to rate the supplier that I do it very little. But it is nice to do it on my own initiative or because I am satisfied. That feels good.

Great Maru! I am curious about your next step… Talk to you soon

That is quite a lovely story. And indeed, read between the lines. A story to think about. Thanks

Day 2 Which providers am I happy with but I am probably not the ideal customer…. I am happy with many providers. From gym, to various suppliers, printers, business coaches, etc. So I don’t write a list of providers, but only the reasons why I think I stop to becoming an ideal client. I think wha… Read More

I realized that I am not an ideal client for a provider. I think. Maybe I am only an ideal client for providers who only want their ideal client… Read More

Hi Marcel, I also as an ideal client I am sensitive to how I am treated. So I’d like to tag the others, refer, be active and get started with what I’ve bought. But if I don’t hear anything back or if there’s nothing extra unexpected with it, I won’t buy something from that person again. This ma… Read More

Ok, that is clear that you know how old your ideal client is. Do you already interviewed some of them yet?

Have a nice Pride weekend! Bas, can I ask what kind of clients do you have? (because you wrote they are on holidays?)

Hi Maru, thanks! I bought 2 pairs of silver earrings :-)….

Have a message. Always. Show your clients the next step what is possible

As an expert let them see the benefits. People with the right mind will buy

What have I learned this week? That my real ideal client doesn’t exist yet, or I don’t know she’s already a customer of mine. I think a few percent of my total customers/clients (I’m guessing between 1-5%) is now my near-ideal customer. I have learned by focusing on the people I want to wor… Read More

Enjoy skydiving!!!

That’s the goal! 🙂

Ah that’s nice! Thank you Maru!!

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Implementation is everything 🙂

I hardly give my listeners a thing to do or a call to action. Something to change in my presentations

Day 4 I juist had a ZOOM call with my allmost ideal clients. Anyway, I said thank you to the participants. Wat more can I give as incentive? I think of – Digital overview of supplements that are suitable for their clients – Digital overview kind of mini step-by-step plan or checklist wh… Read More

WOW I just had a planned ZOOM meeting with 4 of my not-almost-ideal clients and I asked them the 3 questions. And their answers were so valuable! Super grateful for this program. And thankful for the answers. I am happy!

No! I have a lot of clients but none or maybe less than 1% of my current clients is my ideal client how I described her this week.

Hi Nisandeh, Thanks for your replay. I know these non ideal clients won’t be ‘ideal’. Maybe some but I never found them, so I don’t trust that it will be the case, even if I tell them what I want or expect. I do pass them to dietitians whom I trained. So about frustration.. it is in me I… Read More

Hoi Marcel, I honestly not sure why they still give me some satisfaction. Maybe only because I know I really can help them in a good way and that makes me feel good. But because most of these customers are not ideal in all these years (12) I worked with them and helped them. Maybe someday I will only help such a customer if they want to give me good money for my time and … Read More

Introduction: I focus on both consumers (people with IBS) and healthcare professionals (who guide people with IBS). My future ideal clients are in the group of healthcare professionals (such as dieticians, therapists and lifestyle coaches). Lately I have been receiving specific questions from co… Read More

Day 3 – WHAT are the questions I am going to ask my almost ideal clients My almost ideal client is a paramedic like a dietitian or nutrition or lifestylecoach who wants to be trained by me about the best way and the… Read More

Hi Manny, First I looked what kind of coaching you do and then I remember you the first time we meet through Zoom where you told us about coaching millenials. My daughter is from 2000 so I can crawl into her head. I think your questions are good but maybe still to general. Will the answer helps you or the millenial more? Question 12 is a great question. Maybe a questi… Read More

So I can give a lot more trainings about subtopics! Enough inspiration and to do next few years 😀

Do I really want to work with people who want to hear my message and be helped or do I want to work with people I WANT to work with

Day 2 How am I going to contact them? – First send an email to the members as a newsletter – I have a zoom meeting planned on thursday, then I can ask questions – I can ask them questions through the facebook group I manage – I have contact via LinkedIn with several almost ideal clients and… Read More

To have one sentence that gives a thrill of I enjoy very much. I do not have it yet I want to train others so they can also become an expert in their nice. But that does not exists me …. Something to think about What I truly want to let others see that if you choose your ideal clientRead More

Know clearly how my working life will look. And I have to choose what I want

What I want to know from my ideal clients. I would ask for example the following questions: – How about a monthly Q&A? – What do you need? – Do you want to discuss articles? – Do you want to discuss cases? – Do you want to discuss and delve into a certain topic? – Would you like a 1… Read More

That is a great discovery Claudia. I think that we all know that we must put ourselves first but actually do so…. I know from myself in years I put my business first, and myself later….. But now I am also shifting in put myself first. Not everyday, but I am working on it also.

Yes I have seen this movie a few years ago… Enjoy your holiday

I prepared now 2 mails. The first will be send tomorrow and the second about 2 weeks. In the mail I describe in a way with whom I prefer to work with. And in the mail I wrote the changes that will come in my company that will start january 2023. I will start a half-year-traject only with my ideal clie… Read More

What did I get out of this week’s assignment? That it is really important for myself to mainly work with ideal customers. Untill now I have focused on the customers I have from my FODMAP Foodies company. My clients are consumers and healthcare professionals. I thought both groups are not ideal. But by making a list of ideal characters, I know that my Read More

oh WOW what a decision you make!! And sailing on a yacht <3 WOW I wish I could there be also… Have a nice trip on the waters next week!

You are doing great Maru! What kind of movie are you going to see? Hope to speak with you on wednesday 🙂

Hahaha I almost see it… you in a bubble bath with a pizza,….. what a great combination, it makes me smile :-). I have the same as you, I realize more and more that I don’t want to work with people that don’t really want my help. Insight is one thing, doing something with it is another thing. I had a practice for 12 years and 3 years ago I decide to stop working and h… Read More

WOW Claudia! You have won some hours, congrats! And what a great commitment that you will invest now in yourself, my compliments! Have a nice weekend.

Nice to hear Paul that it was valuable. Hope you enjoyed the icecream 🙂

Day 5 How will you “get rid” of those flops?
E.g. say “goodbye” by the end of the year, say “goodbye” now, refer them to someone else, give them an “ultimatum” to change/take a certain action and if they don’t – say “goodbye”… How will I get red of the ‘flop’ clients? 1. I will spent less time for these clients. 2. I will spent less t… Read More

day 4: What can YOU do to “push” those who are not yet ideal clients – to become more ideal…? 1. To let them see the value that I deliver 2. Keep them more in picture, I mean I pay more attention to them so it will be the other way around 3. Let them know with whom I prefer to work w… Read More

He Paul, just another question. Do you know Eelco de Boer? He also talks about this topic a lot. I don’t know if you know him or like his trainings, but otherwise I can recommend him.. and his trainings. … if so.. .I hear from you…. And besides that, I always can also brainstorm about this topic :-).

When you are an expert you will get paid for your value and not your time.

Day 3… commit… I thought about it earlier. Hard to think about it… I think now a part of my business is for my better clients (better paid). But for my ideal clients.. I don’t know if I have a service or product yet. I think I have a fantastic online program but now I think this is not … Read More

WOW Gerdy, that would be great! I see it in front of me: you are giving your first copy of your new book to the CEO of Vattenfall. Unfortunately I don’t know people there. But I am sure it will happen… How far is your book? Is it almost ready to be published?

I honestly think Paul, that it is not the amount of work that you don’t have, and also not the money that is coming in….. Maybe you can ask yourself how do you want to live your ideal life? How many hours do you wanna work? What do you wanna do then? And with who? If money is not an issue…. what is then most important? For everybody else it is different. I think o… Read More

Hi Rens, what a beautiful and heart braking story this is. And indeed, you can tell a good story…. What I think? Maybe you can ask them what education did they do or have done. And if they are wanna have a job in the NL. I know that many company’s are looking for hard working people. Also with a driving lesson for example to be a taxi driver. Or to work in the horeca… Read More

Hire people that are better than you in doing certain things

Who’s my ideal client? 1. Someone who is curious about new things in health care 2. Prefer a woman between 40-60 years old 3. She is independant 4. She likes to work 5. She chooses her own path 6. She likes to work every day 7. She likes to go out, have fun 8. She is interested in hea… Read More

Oh I did not write about my decision IF ideal clients is what I want to go for.. I thought about it lately. So this block I will more think about it. Until now I think I focussed about 80% of my time into not-ideal-clients. But I noticed that my highest profits come from Read More

What an exciting step Rudolph! I know you can do that. When I looked back (I do a few times a year) I worked for about 50-50 % with ideal clients. So thats why I sold my own practice after 12 (!) years. Now I have other clients, but still 50-50 and in my head (and certainly about what Nisandeh… Read More

1. My turnover and profits will be more than before 2. My working life will be better because I wil enjoying working more each day 3. I can focus more on my ideal client in every thing I do, from my teaching., my programs to my website and social media 4. My work will be less but smarter 5… Read More

Hi Lucie! I recently was at a workshop with the 2 ladies from ‘persoonlijkekracht’ so I recognized immediately them in the first sentences! I also love these 2 and what you say, they are over delivering. Are you planning to do an education by them? Are you also an color-expert? What is it what you do exactly?

Hi Max Exciting news! When is the baby expected?

hi Marcel I agree with you. Time is scarce and we all know that but some how when somebody else like Nisandeh says, it looks like it’s coming in more. Of reading your insights I realize more that we not only have to celebrate to completion of the task of last week, but celebrate that we are in this group, that we have a great community and we have Nisandeh and Vered … Read More

Thansk Vered! Yes, celebrating for me is not that easy. I know other people have the same. And every week ask myself ‘How do I celebrate?’. So because of your tips I did the Idea Generator and now I have a list of what makes me happy, brings me joy and allows me to feel free. And one thing is ‘do nothing’ hahaha I think that is a challenge for itself. So yesterday… Read More

Biggest insight : The contact page must be simple and it is the second important page. And people must easy find to contact you through mail

My biggest insight – make a website about my as an expert and make a give away and say ‘Where can I send it to?’ Actions: sending more valuable mails

Ah thats great you are supporting your son in Nijmegen!!

Have a nice holiday! By reading your post I also realize that our success does not always depends on what we did but what we are going to do. And indeed we are growing and learning by doing and by doing new things. I also realize that what Nisandeh says: doing new things and write about it, you have experience and you can help people with it. So on to new things, … Read More

What I get out of this week is that I planned and can plan time for WOMB but my weak spots were that I let other things come in the way. Because of this, I often prosponed my WOMB -planned time or did not do it at all. I did other things first like meeting with people, reading mails, Google etc. I now realize how important thinking about my business is. I am good at do… Read More

Eh Marcel something to think about indeed. I don’t know if I am missing something, I think till now I choose for the easiest way because I was used to do so in my years with 2 other companies. Maybe it is time for a change…

Hi Nisandeh, First of all I love to be part of this program :-). My questions: I struggle with my ideal customer. Because I know that most of the customers who visit my website (for ibs and fodmap diet) and buy my stuff are the ones with IBS. But honestly, I don’t want to work with most of them (they often are complainers). My best profit comes from providing trai… Read More

I agree! I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ if I am ready to do so because I see in the analytics that still many people find us through Facebook but indeed it takes a few hours every week to create, make and post comment. And interact. To make one clear post is like a landing page. Magic!

Because I planned the 15 minutes each day in my agenda, I do the task. I almost did not do the task today because I did first other tasks and after that I was in the beach till late in the evening. So tomorrow it wil be a great challenge for me to work 2,5 hour at least in my business.

O I noticed I did not cross anything out. So I think my weak spot still will be…. oh I can do something else and do the WOMB later… or not.. What is that? And I am not that busy, I can plan my own hours. I just must make this a priority. So…. I think when I scheduled this time in my agenda and somebody wants to meet me, I must say ‘sorry’ in 9 of the 10 times. Beca… Read More

How I am going to plan every day 10-15 minutes in my agenda and how do I make free time so I can weekly work for 2-3 hours on my business? I already planned 15 minutes every working day in my agenda. So when it is the planned time, I will work on the task from WOMB . When something came up, or I work longer on something else I planned before this task, I will do this lat… Read More

What I learned this week.. is that it is a good excercise to think about my business in this way. It is easy to think what I can do new or do more. But stopping things or do less of some stuff is not so easy. But I believe that it can be more powerful to make some right decisions. I think I am in a good direction in my business. I already do less of things I did all… Read More
