Entrepreneurs, why is it you may have not learned to develop yourself to stop you building your customer clan? As The New Rich are effective Entrepreneurs they knew they were missing skills and learned to develop themselves for experiencing optimal lifestyles.
Developing Yourself is Entrepreneurial Success Skill #6.
Small Business Success Step-2: Know your CLAN and build them up.
Today we are aligning our Success Skill #6 with Small Business Success Step-2: Know your CLAN and build them up.
The 5 Steps so you can build your small/side business to the next level and experience your optimal income.

| Step-3: Automate and outsource to streamline processes to reduce wasted activity and space. | (Think Disney or McDonalds.) |
| Step-4: Scale your business. | (E.g. A local bakery can sell an online eBook with recipes and Ideas for Entertaining.) |
| Step-5: Enjoy your small business optimal freedom lifestyle. | (Your goal is a 4-Hour Work Week.) |
You ever see this in different areas in your life?
Just like losing weight…
The Steps:
- Eat healthier: Avoid foods that make you feel bad.
- Exercise more: Exercise a little bit each day. Even a light walk in the park works!
However, how many weight loss books and courses are out there?!
- Thousands?
- Hundreds of thousands?
How confusing is it these days to know what the heck we should be eating and doing with our health? When it’s mostly simple for all of us with basic health issues. Yet the media clouds us with confusion.
So.
Listen.
The reasons Entrepreneurs don’t develop themselves are often quite the same as my losing weight example. There is too much information out there and we build fear of missing out or wasting time on the wrong activities.
That’s why I mentor/coach my clients to focus on knowing their customer clan. For example, my client CICI told me she used to love her clients and that’s why she started her own business. In one of our coaching sessions she shared how she had gotten lost in all the media and developed fear of missing out and doing something wrong.
Often that’s a fear I help potential mentor/coaching clients recognize when they have their free consultation with me. In that session, they see how they are not changing their minds about fear of coaching, they are just making new decisions to embrace a new point of view focusing on the most important for them.
This GIG Economy business and creating your optimal lifestyle isn’t complicated and is far from impossible.
Don’t fear developing yourself to know your clan. Which isn’t hard to do… Then everything else will be made simple.
Do this:
- Just speak to ONE audience, your customer clan.
- Speak THEIR language, you know it already.
- Help solve their PROBLEMS, you see, hear, and feel their solutions every day.
And boom you have the simple key so you can build your business and live your optimal lifestyle.
==> Here’s a great OFFER to start…
If this system is a good fit for you, it works very well!
Because, people from ALL walks of life are successful by leveraging their own experiences.
Play up what you’ve got and don’t waste time worrying about what you don’t. Barbara Corcoran
You pick out who you want to talk to; speak to them as you already know them.
And you’ll be off to the races with this.
Got to run.
All the Best,
Personal Coach Doc Warren
Developing yourself. Exercise #5:
As an Entrepreneur, how am I creating fears of missing out or wasting time holding me back from building my optimal lifestyle?
Look at these examples of ways Entrepreneurs say they feel worried and don’t develop themselves to know their customer clan.
- I conflicting views and ’m worried I will waste time on the wrong things
- I see all of these different ideas and feel so confused
- My friends tell me so many different ways and it just causes stress
Write 3 ideas you tell yourself so when you see yourself in the mirror, you say I don’t know what to do?
1.
2.
3.
Look at your list and attack 1 (only one at a time) fear to overcome this week:
- Write your fear.
- List steps how you see progress you will say you feel good overcoming that fear.
- Give yourself a metric to measure progress. (Ex: I will contact 3 clients to learn more about their needs.)
- Reward yourself for achieving your goal.
Debrief: The point here is to get over your own “NO, I can’t,” response and develop yourself so you can have your business success and your optimal lifestyle.
If you are looking at this exercise and saying, “this feels awkward,” that is good. The important part is you will get used to it, as your life, family, and business depend on it.
Play up what you’ve got and don’t waste time worrying about what you don’t. Barbara Corcoran
NOTE: If you don’t overcome the fear of developing yourself for your clan, you may soon join the 80% of small businesses that fail within the first 5 years!

Engagement background of Optimal Engagement Lifestyle
As a trainer and university lecturer in the USA, I had great success in my coaching, training, and classrooms by engaging my learners in ways I had learned from my Dale Carnegie Instructor Training. (optimal engagement)
After earning my Doctoral Degree researching engaging instruction in adult education and training and development, I started a training business in Hong Kong.
But something was wrong, I was struggling in this new culture (I’m a cattle rancher’s son from Colorado, USA) to find ways to inspire and motivate my coachees and students in Hong Kong.
With my coachees and in the classroom, I preferred having clients engage in learning activities instead of just talking. This is especially effective to keep clients engaged between coaching calls.
I struggled through trying several paper worksheets and workbooks to guide students, but I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. (junk engagement)
When the smart phone with the ability to search the internet came along, I could see my clients were curating (i.e. searching, finding, collecting, commenting, changing, remixing, and sharing.)
I thought, “Why not do that for learning?”, so I started asking them to answer questions, interact with information and colleagues, and go find examples of the learning content using their mobile devices.
eWorkbook development and success
I began searching for possibilities and I struggled testing several apps, until we created best practices using eWorkbooks, and after testing them, began to use eWorkbooks as my clients always had their devices with them.
Then we used eWorkbooks (Google Forms with the training slides as well as interactive questions, curating links and tasks, example images and videos, etc.) This became powerful for my coaching clients as they were able to share ideas and get the benefits of social learning even though they were not in the training course or classroom.
My clients [Engaging Screenagers] completed eWorkbooks using their mobile devices as they were learning interactively while, at the same time, they were developing habits of learning with their devices (optimal engagement) instead of killing time with them. (junk engagement)
Students used eWorkbooks to while I lead the discussion and guided them, and after they submitted their answers, they would get their responses sent to their inbox so they could review their learning Moments of Growth. (optimal engagement)
Because the students’ responses from eWorkbooks go right into a spreadsheet in real-time, as the teacher I can monitor what students are doing to give them guidance in the moment, as well as track their learning develop over time.
Since those early days, I’ve had great luck supporting my coaching clients and entrepreneur friends use Google forms for 360° reviews for evaluations as well as use eBrochures and eMenus to test new ideas and actively engage and actively interact with customers.
