#quickie - Magnetic Messaging Frameworks to Attract the RIGHT Clients
Has your business ever attracted a "meh" client? Or worse, a complainy, codependent client? Odds are, it wasn't your product or services. It was your messaging that brought the WRONG person into your domain. Good news! You can flip that script with the RIGHT frameworks and start magnetizing the right clients into your realm with these magnetic messaging frameworks.  In this episode, you'll learn 3 specific frameworks to position your messaging on podcast interviews to be a MAGNET for your ideal clients...and a repellent for the boundary-squishing vampire customers every business owner seeks to avoid.  ⚠️The Drama Triangle: Victim, Villain, and Hero You'll discover the disempowering "drama triangle" a psychological paradigm of belief, that, when your messaging is framed within this paradigm you are bound to attract the WRONG clients from podcast interviews. However, I'll also show you how to flip it on it's head, so that you attract only empowered clients, who have agency, personal responsibility, and self-determination. 🤩 Aspirational Leadership: The Key to Empowering Marketing You'll learn how the solution lies in shifting your messaging. Instead of a blamey or victim-oriented narrative, I show you how to advocate for aspirational leadership. This means seeing your clients in their highest and best potential - and speaking to that! 🦄 From Savior Complex to Empowerment And, in this podcast episode, I share from personal experience - THIS is how I know what messaging works. And what really doesn't. I'll show you where to place your ideal client within the "frame" of your story, so that you take yourself off of the pedestal and foster a healthy, growth-oriented relationship with your clients.
