Picture this; You are sitting in your office, seeing lots of clients. They come to you from far and wide to seek your advice. You feel good, knowing you can help them. You know that if you tell them they have to come back and see you again, they will readily accept your advice. If you are sick for a week or two, you know they will wait until you are better. You can charge what you like and you are earning a tidy sum of money. You know you will be around in the business world for a long, long, time. You look at the long list of bookings. You reach for the telephone and ring a trusted colleague. “Can you come in for a couple of days,” you ask. “I've got a backlog of clients to get through.” Your colleague wonders how you do it. Your colleague is struggling to make ends meet. If your colleague was to ask: “How did you do it?” what would your response be? Would you be talking about marketing strategies? Perhaps you would be talking about business plans? Or perhaps you had another strategy up your sleeve that works well for you? Take the time to reflect on your own strategies for a while. Then write down your own ideas for later use.

在您自己的咨询实践中，您需要什么？

想象一下；你坐在办公室里，会见很多客户。他们从四面八方来找你寻求你的建议。你感觉很好，知道你可以帮助他们。你知道，如果你告诉他们必须回来见你，他们会很乐意接受你的建议。如果您病了一个星期或两个星期，您知道他们会等到您好转。您可以根据自己的喜好收取费用，并且您正在赚取一笔可观的钱。您知道您将在商业世界中待很长很长时间。您查看一长串预订单。你拿起电话给一位值得信赖的同事打电话。“你能进来几天吗？”你问。“我有积压的客户要处理。” 你的同事想知道你是怎么做到的。你的同事正在努力维持生计。如果你的同事问：“你是怎么做到的？” 你的反应是什么？你会谈论营销策略吗？也许你会谈论商业计划？或者，也许您有另一种适合您的策略？花点时间反思一下自己的策略。然后写下你自己的想法以备后用。
