And you have a choice:

1. Let her take the journey alone or

2. Create the path, take her hand and lead her on her journey

Successful business owners are creating the path.

Ultrasuccessful business owners are creating the path AND leading customers on the journey.

First, you should know that every business includes several different journeys:

1. There's the journey of simply doing business with you - from that first awareness to eventual completion

2. There's the journey of each product or program - from awareness to purchase then consumption and completion

The steps to each journey are relatively simple - provided they're done in the right order and the right way. No worries though...the steps are intuitive and chances are you're already doing most of them in your business.

10 Steps of the Client Journey:

1. Attract and Connect
2. Ideal Client match?
3. Interest in solving problem?
4. Do you have THE solution?
5. ROI on solving the problem
6. Make an offer
7. Eliminate risk
8. Why now?
9. Actual purchase
10. Nurturing the relationship
