FAQ: Client Interview with Loren Fogelman
Please take a moment to read this before hiring Loren.
How long have you been doing what you do and how did you get to be a Mindset for Success Expert?
In order to best answer this question I would like to share a defining moment in my life where the only choice was to do what I am doing today, showing people like you how to overcome the obstacles preventing you from growing your business with confidence.
I was at a point in my practice where I knew I needed more. I wanted to learn, but not sure which direction to take. I considered returning to school for my doctorate degree and applying for licensure as a mental health therapist. I was ready to do something to stimulate me. When I sat down and considered the amount of time, money and work I would have to commit to pursue either of these avenues, I realized my current practice would not change significantly and there would not be a significant financial return on my investment.
This process eventually let me to become aware of energy psychology. I began reading books about auras, chakras and meridian systems. This was a whole new path and it fascinated me. I read as much as I could and began to incorporate this into my private practice. In 2006, I went to an energy psychology workshop and learned about the Emotional Freedom Techniques. The approach was foreign to me and I was skeptical. I was not convinced all of that tapping 
really had any benefit to it. My curiosity got the best of me and I began to experiment with the technique on myself. I was amazed at the results I experienced and I wasn’t even sure I knew whether I was doing it right or not.
In 2006, I had begun using the Emotional Freedom Techniques in my private practice. My clients were receiving excellent results in a shorter period of time compared to traditional talk therapy. My desire to help clients transform the barriers which prevented them from reaching their potential fueled me to learn as much as I could about energy work.
The defining moment of change in my life was in May 2008. There was an upcoming energy psychology conference and I knew I had to attend. It was one of those moments where I was driven to do this. The desire was so strong it was as if I didn’t have a choice. This was what I wanted. Without knowing how, intuitively I realized by attending this conference my life would never be the same.
As I expected, the event was dynamic and transformative. I realized the impact of sharing knowledge on a large scale. At the conference I made the decision to begin a transition to step out of the office. I was doing a disservice by not sharing my knowledge with the global community.
Upon returning home I made a commitment to immerse myself in doing whatever was necessary to play BIG. Immediately, I began formulating a plan. There was so much I would have to do and so much I didn’t know how to do yet. Where do you begin when making a significant career change?
My first step was to address my fear of public speaking. Using EFT helped to transform my fear. I signed up for Toastmasters, attended every meeting and took advantage of each opportunity to speak. I would have an aerobic heartbeat anticipating my turn. Quietly I would be doing meridian tapping under the table. I also used tapping while practicing my speech and visualizing what it would be like to speak in front of an audience. One by one I was able to transform my barriers to speaking in front of an audience.
I was determined to get past my own comfort zone and break limiting self imposed barriers. The motto I embraced was that “if it is uncomfortable, then I ought to be doing it.”
All of my free time was spent taking the next step to start a new business. The impact was significant on the entire family. Before work, after work and on weekends, I was spending all my time learning everything necessary to transform my dream into a reality. Literally, I was working two full-time jobs. My role with Steve, my husband, began to reverse as I worked more and he managed the family and home responsibilities.
The effort was paying off. My practice began to quickly fill with clients from all over the world.
What I realized I loved the most was working cooperatively with others, clients as well as peers. There is a synergistic effect when two or more people collaborate and something new is created from this process.
Soon after I read “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. The concept of a mastermind group resonated strongly within me. This was the key and I decided to incorporate this process into my work and my life.
I have made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to sharing the importance of mindset with my clients. This approach has changed my entire perspective about being, living and doing. Sharing this approach with my clients helps them develop the mindset to reach their goals without an inner struggle.
Since that time, I have worked with thousands of private clients, spoken in front of groups and have created the Mindset for Marketing Success System, a series of 7 important steps to create the mindset for growing your business with confidence. You deserve to step into your greatness.
Who are your clients exactly?
My clients are people just like you, solopreneurs and small business owners, who are excellent at what you do, but uncomfortable with marketing. The thought of marketing your business does not feel genuine and authentic. As a result, you might be wondering why you are not busy and not as successful as you thought you would be. You know what to do, but for some reason, have never been consistent with following through with those steps.
My clients also recognize they have more to offer and are willing to do whatever is necessary to take their business to the next level. They have tried to make changes on their own and understand additional support is needed to grow their business. My clients have reached a point where they are not satisfied with remaining at their current level of success and have a strong desire to grow their business.
What happens if you haven’t yet worked with people in my field?
I have worked with a wide range of professionals. When working with clients, I create an individualized plan that is suited for your specific needs. This approach allows me to step out of the box of a one-size fits all format. When focusing on mindset, each client’s needs are unique based upon who you are and your circumstances. I am results based and can quickly assess the stage of change you are at and tailor a plan that will work specifically for you.
How are you different from other “business coaches?”
I approach my life and my work with a sincere and direct style. My entire career has been devoted to helping people develop the mindset to reach their peak potential. I have been a therapist since 1985. As a result, I know how to identify hidden obstacles with a laser approach.
Basically, I am a therapist turned business success expert and consultant. Using a combination of Law of Attraction, the Emotional Freedom Techniques and my professional experience of helping thousands of clients reframe their thoughts to transform their fears. I know how to get quick results to develop the mindset, or inner game, for growing your business plus the marketing strategies you need for business growth.
The goal is to inspire, strategize and develop the action plan for implementation. My primary loyalty is to you and being flexible to support you where you might need it most for success.
I only work with motivated people that are sole business or small business owners. My area is very specific. This is why my clients, groups and consultants can be ensured quick results. I am direct and to the point, but realize having fun is important too and will use humor, when appropriate.
What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?
The Mindset for Marketing Success products and programs were created for people who are ready to take a “no-excuses” approach for taking their business to the next level of success. The purpose is to give you all the tools you need to feel confident with growing your business. The more effort you put into using this system, the quicker the results you will be expected to get.
I realize we each have different styles of learning and approaching new things. My style is to develop the best strategy to move forward and then begin to take action.
The people who experience the best results when working with me are willing to be open-minded and do whatever is necessary for positive change.
I understand sometimes you are faced with things which are not comfortable. We can work through those obstacles together in order for you continue taking the next step toward reaching your peak potential. The Emotional Freedom Techniques combined with Law of Attraction is an ideal combination to reach your goals. People serious about doing the best they can and who recognize they are ready for change are my ideal clients. My loyalty is to you, my client, to help you quickly get the best results possible. Full support is provided as you begin to make decisive, positive change. The end result is stepping into your greatness to grow your business.
For what type of professional is this program NOT going to work?
My clients are looking for results. They are willing to put in the time and effort necessary for positive change to occur. For this to be a win-win situation, I select clients that are best suited for my programs. I will be gentle, but honest, when someone does not appear to be a good fit for my services.
The Mindset for Marketing Success programs are best suited for people that have steady income and want to see their business grow. Having no income creates a financial crisis. As a result, those people are less likely to follow through with the recommendations for success because they are focusing on survival needs, i.e. rent and meeting monthly financial obligations.
I can understand being in this category. I have had similar struggles. The priorities at this point are to focus on financial stability and get out of crisis. I support that choice.
If that is where you are then sign up for my Mindset for Marketing Ezine, receive my free Step Into Your Greatness CD and sign up for my free teleseminars. All of these offers provide a lot of content for you to get started on your own.
As you see yourself preparing to take the next step and are ready to work with me, we can establish which program is best suited for your needs. Following through with the free offers will help you be better prepared for us to work together. You will know when the time is right to call for us to begin working together.
One other type of person I do not want to work with is the person that is constantly blaming others for problems and not willing to follow through with assignments. If you feel that you need to constantly challenge me when I am trying to help you, then you are not ready to do the work. I will let you know in a gentle and respectful way that we are not best suited to work together. This would not be a good match and it is not fair to waste your time and money when you are not as likely to see results.

Can I contact some of your former clients to see what it’s like to work with you?
Since the nature of my work with clients is very personal, I maintain a high standard of confidentiality. My training as a therapist has contributed to me being extremely protective of all client information. Unless I have permission to disclose information, I maintain an extremely high level of confidentially with all my clients.
How quickly can I expect results?
This depends on you and how motivated you are to follow through with the steps. The Mindset for Marketing Success System is designed to provide results with each step. The system is successive and each section builds upon the work done on the previous section. The results are directly related to the amount of effort you are willing to put into the system.
How can I guarantee myself that I will be able to take the steps necessary to reach my peak potential in order to grow my business?
Make a commitment to do each step of the Mindset for Marketing Success System. I recognize life gets busy and there are many distractions. Be prepared to follow through with each activity. You deserve to make the necessary changes in order to grow your business.
Recognize you have had your present frame of mind for many years and have done things a specific way for a long time. Having a strong desire to change is necessary for change to happen. Persistence with consistently exploring your beliefs about success is necessary to avoid repeating familiar patterns. Be willing to recognize what happens when you are faced with something uncomfortable and have the willingness to do whatever is necessary to break limiting self imposed barriers.
Be gentle with yourself. Understand you have been doing things a certain way for a long time. Change can happen. You will be able to make progress even though it might be uncomfortable. When faced with several stressors at one time, people tend to revert back to what is familiar. It is okay. That is not failure. When working together we can view this as an opportunity to explore what occurred and what can be done differently the next time you are in a similar situation. Although you might want results to happen quickly, recognize slow and steady progress contributes to long lasting change.
What is the benefit of choosing this program?
Not only do I expect you to feel more empowered as you transform barriers to your success, I expect you to also have increased revenue as you take steps to market and build your business. Consider the value of adding one new client to your practice. That alone will pay for this program. My goal is to create a plan where you feel genuine, comfortable and confident to take the steps necessary to growing your business.
My laser approach to working with clients provides insights to barriers that have kept you from taking action and marketing your business. As we work together using EFT to transform those barriers you will begin to experience a positive change in your mindset. This contributes to increased confidence in your ability to take decisive action and to do whatever is necessary to grow your business. The benefit is not only your business growing, but having personal growth as well. Making the investment in yourself contributes to growth in your business.

Since 1985, I have been working with clients and have seen amazing results. In 1997, I created programs which were developed for long term success.
