	I have a written business plan that includes my mission, vision, goals, and the specific action steps to achieve those goals.
	I’m totally committed to my business. I’ve closed the “back door.” I’m in it for keeps.
	I don’t have any fear of selling. I’m comfortable asking for the business.
	Given the effort I’m putting in, my net income is not high enough.
	I employ specific, targeted follow-up strategies to regularly stay in touch with potential clients who haven’t yet purchased my products or services.

	I have a well thought-out and effective referral strategy in place.
	I can explicitly state what I do, who I do it for, and what the benefits are for them.
	I’m confident and believe I will be successful. I have no significant doubts or reservations.
	I can concisely articulate how I get the results my clients are looking for.
	I know how to “attract” what I want. I don’t commonly “push” or try to force things.

	Strategic alliances and joint ventures represent critical aspects of my marketing efforts.

	I’m well-organized. I have detailed systems and structures in place for all aspects of business operations.
	I routinely offer potential clients a complimentary consultation or a sampling of my services as a marketing tool.
	I know the seven major objections people offer and I’m comfortable responding to each of them.
