Clarity is Magnetic.
I could probably write an entire blog post on every misconception about creating a niche that’s out there… so many business owners are confused about what a niche is and how it should be approached! But one of the biggest misconceptions is that creating a niche is just a “marketing thing.”
First, let me clarify: having a well-defined niche will absolutely draw people to you and your business because it will be clear who you work with .
Clarity is magnetic.
But let’s take this a step deeper.
By narrowing your niche, you can cause deeper transformation with your clients because your energy is not dispersed. Instead of serving a variety of needs – even if it’s just a handful – when you serve one or two exclusively, you can focus on deepening your toolbox for those specific clients and take them to the next level. You simply will have more time and energy to create more value with your clients.
For example, if I worked with executives and had a set of tools to address time and priority management, I could talk about specific challenges I know executives face with these issues rather than just speaking generally on the topics.
Imagine how much more poignant that would be for the clients! It would help them pinpoint things more readily, because there’s someone there to guide them with specificity and niche expertise. By being specific, I can help them overcome these challenges with more ease. See how this works?
Here is a different way to look at it. Imagine you pour a gallon of water in a tray that’s an inch deep. It will have to be a long tray to fit all the water! On the other hand, if you put the water in a cylinder that’s three feet deep, it will only be an inch or two across.
When you disperse your energy, you can only go so deep. When you channel your energy, look how much deeper you can go! You’ll gain a more thorough understanding of your clients and be able to identify exactly how you can best serve them.As a mother, wife, connector, and dream builder, I’m Darlene Hawley, the founder of DarleneHawley.com and an Executive Leadership & Businesss Coach dedicated to empowering leaders like you.
