Be highly paid for your expertise and make a shift to a transformation business.
The 10 ways to increase your authority are:
1) Master the consultation process start to finish
2) Help the client define the goal
3) Be willing to challenge the client limiting beliefs and assumed limitations
4) Stop trying to convince the client and instead let the client convince you
5) Let clients know up front what will happen in the consultation
6) Be up front about your pricing and how you work with clients
7) Work as a team with the client
8) Make the switch within your mind that you're helping clients to transform (not selling a service or product)
9) Focus and re-focus the client on the goal as many times as necessary
10) Be willing to confirm the next step with the client or make another recommendation
