If you’re like most smart, hard-working professionals I meet—dentists, attorneys, consultants, coaches, advisors, specialists—you’ve spent years mastering your craft. You care about results. You serve your clients well.
But when it comes to marketing?
Too many of you are doing it backwards. You’re trying to make people want what you offer. Trying to educate them into buying. Trying to convince them that they need what you do.
And it’s exhausting, isn’t it?
You’re working harder than ever… but getting less traction. Less response. Fewer ideal clients. Margins squeezed. Opportunities missed. Stress rising.
Here’s the fix:
You must get into the River of Money.
This is a concept I learned years ago from Dan Kennedy, and I’ve used it ever since to help business owners reposition themselves for faster growth, easier sales, and more predictable income.
Let me explain.
What Is the River of Money?
The River of Money is the natural flow of spending already happening in your market.
It’s where people are already:
- Looking for solutions
- Feeling emotional urgency
- Willing to spend to fix or fulfill something
They’re not reluctant. They’re not price-shopping. They’re in motion—searching, comparing, and buying.
If you try to create demand where none exists, you’ll go broke. But if you position yourself in front of that flow—you win. The river doesn’t care how hard you work. It rewards those who step into it.
Real-World Example: Dentists
I’ve worked with dentists who spent years advertising cleanings and checkups.
Important services? Sure.
But do they drive demand? Not really.
Now let’s shift that offer:
- “We help adults with missing teeth eat and smile again—without dentures.”
- “Same-day emergency care when your toothache can’t wait.”
- “Fear-free dentistry for patients who’ve put it off for years.”
Boom. Now we’re in the river. Because people are already spending money to fix pain, restore confidence, and solve problems they’ve been avoiding. All we had to do was change the positioning—not the service.
Another Example: Estate Planning Attorneys
Wills and trusts are crucial. But telling people to “get their affairs in order” rarely creates urgency.
Now, let’s talk about:
- “How to protect your mother’s home from Medicaid when she needs long-term care.”
- “What every new parent needs to do right now to protect their child.”
- “Avoiding a probate nightmare when a loved one dies without a plan.”
Suddenly… people are listening. Because those messages tap into emotional urgency and connect to real money already being spent—on nursing homes, legal battles, or emergency planning.
That’s the river.
This Isn’t Just About Dentists or Lawyers
I’ve seen this apply across the board:
- Coaches who go from “life coaching” to “helping burned-out executives reclaim their energy and sanity”
- Consultants who shift from “marketing strategy” to “turning your overwhelmed business into a well-oiled profit machine”
- Contractors who move from “roof repair” to “protecting your home from insurance nightmares and storm damage”
You don’t need to change your business. You need to change how your business enters the conversation already happening in your client’s mind.
You need to stop trying to manufacture demand… and instead, step into the demand that’s already there.
The River Is Emotional
Here’s what fuels that river:
- Fear (What will happen if I don’t fix this?)
- Frustration (Why can’t anyone solve this?)
- Desire (I want more time, more energy, more freedom)
- Vanity (I want to look good)
- Security (I want to protect what I’ve built)
Every dollar spent in your industry is driven by one or more of those emotions. That’s why the best marketing is emotional first, logical second.
You meet your clients where they are emotionally—and show them how you solve the problem they’re ready to spend money to fix.
So... Where’s Your River?
If you don’t know what your River of Money is…
If your marketing feels dry, difficult, or disconnected from what’s really happening in your market…
If you’re tired of spinning your wheels, lowering your prices, or wondering why “less talented” competitors seem to be growing faster…
It’s time to fix that. And I can help.
