Seasoned and successful small business owners know the value of showing up in their customers’ lives. Because the more their customers see them, the more they buy.There’s even a term for it – frequency.

Who is your ideal customer?
Who has a problem that you, your product or service can solve?
Who would be most interested in your product or service?
Who is most likely to buy your product or service?
Once you identify who the best customer or ideal client is for your product or service, write a description of that person.
How old are they?
Are they male or female?
Where do they live?
What kind of work do they do?
What do they do for fun?
What is the problem your product or service can help them solve?
Are they affluent or is money tight?
You may not have all the answers to these questions, but do the best you can to write a detailed description.
Once you have completed the description, take it one step further: Create a character.
What exactly do I mean by that?
Picture in your mind, a single person who embodies all of these characteristics. Once you have a picture in your mind, begin to think about who this person is.
Here's an example
Let's say you are a wellness coach or fitness professional and your ideal client is a middle-aged, overweight woman who does not currently take very good care of herself, but wishes to drop a few pounds and get healthier.

The day you begin to think of your job in terms of the security versus the opportunities it provides is the day you start to put the brakes on building your career.Time was when a young person entering the workforce could reasonably assume he was signing a lifetime security covenant with his employer. If he worked hard and kept its nose clean he could expect to be taken care of with a job for as long as he could show up for work. Promotions would come along as openings occurred. There’d be a pension at retirement. It was a womb to tomb deal. Loyalty was a two- way street.The Rules Have ChangedToday’s headlines make it clear that’

Employee screenings use legal, medical, human resource, and other government offices related records to get a good insight into a job applicant’s background. They must have access to these records in various government offices such as the DMV, criminal records bureau, medical institutions, and schools.These offices do not provide confidential reports to each and everyone who enquires. The investigators must have authentic identification before trying to check these records. Educational institutes tend to provide only basic information.Since the pre-employment screening companies make a business out of these reports, they need to be precise, accur

First, we give her a name: Mary Smith
Then we imagine how her typical day goes, as follows:
Mary gets up at 6:00am and fixes breakfast for her two elementary school-aged children. She helps them get dressed and ready for school. She makes their lunches. She kisses her husband goodbye as he leaves for work, and proceeds to get ready for work herself.
Mary loads the kids in the car, drops them off at school, and heads to work. She works in a busy office, and rarely takes time off for lunch. Because she usually doesn't make time to pack her own lunch, she often runs out for fast food or another quick take-out lunch, and returns to the office to eat at her desk while she works.
At about 3:00pm, Mary needs a pick-me-up so she grabs a soda and a sugary snack from the vending machine.
Mary leaves the office at 5:30 and heads to the babysitter to pick up the kids. They arrive home between 6
