    172: From 2 Years to ~5 Months: The 'Unsexy' Way I Signed Clients Faster

    If you’ve been grinding for months (or years) and still don’t have the clients you want, I get it. For me, the time it took from 'I first meet you' to 'you become a client' used to be about two years. Now it’s about five months. That’s ~79% faster - with a full-time job, two kids, and 1 hour a day for my business. In this episode, I walk through what actually changed. Spoiler: it wasn’t a shiny tactic. It was my identity and beliefs. When I started becoming the woman who already signs clients - the way I think, feel, show up - everything sped up. Strategies didn’t suddenly start working; I started working, because I was aligned. What I cover: Why strategies 'work for others' but don’t stick for you (yet)How your identity + beliefs → emotions → actions → results (and timelines)The uncomfortable truth behind my first refund (and why it was a gift)Why my latest inbound, no-ads client felt easy and sustainableMy 12-month 'do the scary thing' experiment (and how I gut-check fear vs. truth)The MES Framework I use now: Mindset, Energy, SystemsMentions & resources: My free, First Client Starter Kit for Side-Hustling Moms: https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/startLouis Butterfield — the video guy whose honesty about failures inspired me to share the messy middle (see his posts and video philosophy on LinkedIn): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/louis-the-butterfield_this-week-i-wrote-a-post-about-my-money-activity-7374837794302541824-9P5O?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAB1JVjgBFeq_djFMXzfkbhmmZbdDVTvKl9sDavid Ghiyam — my go-to for learning Kabbalah and the inner work that powers outer results: https://www.instagram.com/davidghiyam
