Christine is an energetic, no-nonsense business advisor, mentor, consultant, speaker, and a three-time international best-selling author. She has supported over 400 companies, leading to a combined revenue of over $1 billion. Christine believes that business growth can be elegantly simple when you focus on three non-negotiable business foundations. Get ready to take notes as she shares her insights!

Christine’s Journey to Business Success Christine shares how she never initially set out to run a global consultancy. However, after numerous conversations over coffee and wine with struggling business owners, she realized a common theme—many entrepreneurs had no clear client acquisition strategy. She observed that most were "doing the Hokey Pokey," wavering between commitment and hesitation in their business ventures. Moreover, they lacked an understanding of how business elements like sales, marketing, operations, and financial planning integrate for success.

Dr. Lycka’s Business Evolution Dr. Lycka recounts his own journey from a dermatologist to a renowned cosmetic doctor. Facing drastic healthcare changes in the 1990s, he pivoted to cosmetic procedures but quickly realized he lacked marketing and business knowledge. A pivotal moment came when he discovered Dan Kennedy’s mastermind group, which helped him transform his business, leading to his recognition as a top cosmetic dermatologist for 16 consecutive years.

The Importance of Business Fundamentals Christine emphasizes that while business skills may not come naturally to entrepreneurs, they must be acquired for long-term success. She warns against outsourcing critical aspects of business too soon, advocating instead for mentorship and hands-on learning. Dr. Lycka echoes this sentiment, highlighting that while delegation is important, business owners must understand and oversee their own marketing strategies.

Three Non-Negotiable Business Foundations Christine introduces the three non-negotiable business foundations essential for sustainable growth:

1. Knowing Your Next Client
2. Your next client is not merely a demographic profile; they must be a decision-maker standing at a pivotal point in their journey. Entrepreneurs must understand what drives their decisions, their past attempts, and their expectations. Many business owners mistakenly assume that their next client is just like their current one, but sustainable success depends on continuously attracting new clients.
3. Creating a Multi-Step Strategy
4. Business success requires a strategic approach to guide potential clients from curiosity to conversion. Christine notes that most buyers research multiple touchpoints before making a decision. A well-planned strategy should cater to their journey, offering education, engagement, and clear next steps.
5. Crafting a Compelling Offer
6. A strong offer positions you as a “must-have” rather than just a knowledgeable expert. Entrepreneurs must clarify their value proposition, focusing on what their clients need to feel, see, and experience to make a confident purchasing decision.
