		<description>I&#039;m not there yet, but it&#039;s only been just over a year for my little business. 

Great post, though.  Lots to think about.

		<description>*nudges Todd further*

Okay, seekers... or as I said of your work the other day, &quot;How can photos of nature capture so much &lt;em&gt;human&lt;/em&gt; emotion?&quot;

So yes, you&#039;re speaking to someone who appreciates this aspect of your art, your ability to make them think and feel, not just see, what you capture with your lens... to me there&#039;s no doubt that you&#039;re defining you better, which means getting closer to one in a million...

But where are those needs you&#039;re speaking to? Who needs this and wants to pay for it? 

Or, put another way, how can you get in front of the person who wants to be moved in this way, at the moment when her dollars are about to fly out of her pocket toward somebody? Where is she looking for you?

Make sure it&#039;s you who&#039;s standing there, ready to catch the flying dollars.

It&#039;s time to take this further. See you at tomorrow&#039;s post!

Until later,

		<description>I&#039;ve been searching myself for months on this topic (at your suggestion, Kelly)... and this morning it came together for me.  I&#039;m not a photographer anymore, I&#039;m &quot;The Seeker&#039;s Photographer,&quot; or some such phrasing of that idea.  

Once I saw it, it was actually easy to commit to this ideal customer because it&#039;s simply who I am.  I&#039;m a seeker.  I love truth.  I&#039;m a sucker for wisdom.  It pervades everything I do, and everything I photograph. And I can get specific.

My business now is going to revolve around this love of mine because I know my ideal customer loves it too.  It&#039;s going to be easy to find out everything about my customer.  

You can have those other customers now.  I&#039;m taken! :)

		<description>Melinda,

I can not tell a lie:

This was written for someone else.

;)

As always, I hope it&#039;s not too obvious, so it helps anywhere it can. Glad you liked it!

		<description>You wrote this for me, yes?  I know you did...  LOL.  And for everyone like me.

I love what you answered to Alex, that&#039;s a real change from the normal way of looking at it - it&#039;s not us looking for them, it&#039;s about them looking for us.

Thanks.  :-)

		<description>Alex,

It&#039;s not who *you&#039;re* looking for. The buyer is Ideal, if *they&#039;re* looking for you. (And I don&#039;t mean looking for Alex, but looking for what Alex has to offer.) Otherwise they&#039;re just wouldn&#039;t-that-be-nice, not ideal. See what I mean?

Wendi,

&quot;The only very best most special.&quot; I love that phrasing.  :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the post.

Until later,

Kelly</description>

		<description>the greatest businesses always make their clients feel like they are the only very best most special one. Its a knack.
Exceptional service and a narrow target market. you need both.

Beautiful post Kelly, a delight to read!</description>
