CONNECTING WITH MY PURPOSE
Today's Prompt
'What is the change I want to create in the world and why?'
Today is an invitation to look at what you are currently offering in your business, to explore the reasons why based on your own life's journey and to deeply connect with your own personal sense of purpose (the contribution you wish to make that serves something bigger than yourself).
TODAY'S SOCIAL POST
Consider the prompt and create a post for the group, sharing the change you want to create in the world through your business and why. Fill it with all the emotion and passion that inspired you to create said change!
CLARITY EXERCISE: A Deeper Understanding of You
Write down anything you can think of using these three prompts;
- What drives me / what fills my cup?
- What are my Values?
- What contribution do I want to make?
FURTHER EXPLORATION
If you want to take this further, at your own pace. I'd recommend this activity as you'll make connection you may not have made previously and it will bring added depth to your story.
Write three columns;
- Your values. Everything you stand for, what's most important to you and things you absolutely will NOT stand for.
- The change you want to create. Big or small, direct (you to client) or indirect (further reaching beyond your client), jot it down here.
- Your life experiences. All that's contributed to you starting this business and committing to this purpose, big or small, good or bad.
FINDING MY PEOPLE
Today's Prompt
'What's my soulmate clients narrative?'
We're not getting hung up on demographics like age and education. Today is all about really getting to know the person you want to serve and understanding their inner narrative will enable to you focus your language, content and underpinning message so it's less of a scattergun approach and instead lands directly with the ones you want to attract over and over again.
TODAY'S SOCIAL POST
Think of a problem that you've had, that your soulmate client still struggles with. Talk about your own personal experience of the problem. Consider the following; how it made you feel about yourself, what it prevented you from doing/achieving, the emotions that arose around it, the knock on effect/further problems it caused etc. And then talk about how you resolved it.
You can use the clarity exercise to tie your experience in with theirs and use more of their language to describe your experience and learnings.
CLARITY EXERCISE: Explore their narrative.
Step into the mind of your soulmate client and see the world from their perspective. Consider conversations with previous or current clients - things they mention over again, frequently asked questions and even perhaps your own experience of the problem before you found the answer.
Then note down the common phrases they use both internally and externally, when sppeaking to others.
Consider;
the stories they tell themselves
the thoughts that wake them at 5am
the narrative they’re running about their problem
any fears they have
things they believe about themselves etc.
To help you really 'step in', write each phrase down in the first person i.e. 'I don't believe I'm....', 'I'm afraid that....', 'What if....', 'It'll be better when....', 'I can't....' etc..
A couple of others ways to reveal your ideal clients narrative;
What do I notice my clients often saying to me? What comes up in conversation (in person and online)?
What are my frequently asked questions?
FURTHER EXPLORATION
Here's where you really start to see the world from your soulmate clients perspective. Consider they worldview.
Create a dream cloud diagram of your soulmate client with their name at the centre (give them a name) and these categories surrounding it;
- Personality. List a few key personality markers so you know who you're speaking to and how to communicate with them
- Values. What is most important to them, what do they stand for?
- Beliefs. As above, note down the phrases they use internally and externally, the stories they tell themselves, the thoughts that wake them at 5am, the narrative they’re running about their problems, fears, things they believe about themselves etc.
- Problems. Focus on the ones you can help them with. What is their 'Point A'? Where are they now? What are the effects fof the problem?
- Desired Outcomes. What is their 'point B' destination? Where do they want to be?
- Needs. Do they have any needs that you can specifically cater to, when working with them (but also before they sign up to work with you?) i.e. neurodiversity, physical challenges, learning styles, communication methdos etc.
DEEPLY UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
Today's Prompt
'What is the #1 problem I solve for my soulmate client?'
Most of us solve a number of problems for our clients but today we're focusing in on the biggest, most obvious one.
This activity is designed to help you understand the problem in greater depth by seeing the differentiation between the problem and its symptoms so you can talk about it fluidly and convey it with explicit clarity so when your soulmate client sees your content they see themselves immediately.
TODAY'S SOCIAL POST
Write a post listing the symptoms that your ideal client experiences in relation to the problem you solve. These will be the day to day frustrations, hinderances, annoyances, experiences, barriers, beliefs, emotions etc that they are painfully aware of.
And I’d love to know, in your post, if this activity has shifted the way you think about your ideal client's problem? Are you going to let your content evolve to speak more to the symptoms going forward?
CLARITY EXERCISE
Create a spreadsheet with two columns and explore each individual problem you solve for your client;
Problem. This is what we offer a solution to with our offer
Symptom. This is what our soulmate client thinks is the problem (it may be the same, depending on their level of awareness)
FURTHER EXPLORATION
Head back to your spreadsheet and add an additional three columns;
Outcome. This is what their life looks like after working with us
Benefits. These are the further reaching benefits of the outcome
Objections. These are the things that hold them back from committing to work with us
Now you can explore each aspect of each problem and this will give you TONS of great (and most importantly, relevant) content!

'What is my Soulmate Client's first port of call?'
