You have wisdom that could change lives, if you turned it into the right kind of coaching package. But is something holding you back from sharing it? Maybe you don’t think you have time to figure out how to create a coaching program. Maybe you aren’t sure you have enough material to create an offer people will buy… Or you have TOO MUCH information, and you don’t know how to choose what to include! Maybe you’re afraid of spending hours upon hours creating something you can’t sell. Have you ever felt that way?... Read More

What do running a business, attracting clients, and moving to a new house have in common? Surprisingly, a lot. In the beginning of June, I moved to a rural area. And it. Was. CHAOS.

And so, because I'm always trying to help you grow your business and help more people, I decided to share those experiences -... Read More

This coach and I were talking about how she helps people recover from being in a toxic relationship with a narcissist. She told me about the things she’s already teaching her clients, and I was impressed. It sounds like she already has an amazingly valuable coaching program! But as always, I was keeping an eye out for ways to get her and her clients bigger and better... Read More

How did she get a REFERRAL… when most people don’t even get a REPLY? I don’t know about you, but I’ve gotten almost as many spammy sales pitches from website designers as I have for products that will supposedly enlarge an appendage I don’t have. It’s gotten so bad that most of the time, if I see “website designer” in a profile, I nope out! And yet, not only did THIS website designer get me on multiple calls… But when I needed to refer a person for website assistance, she was the first person I thought of! ... Read More

“What am I missing in the time I spend on this?” Have you ever asked yourself that question? How many hours have you spent creating your coaching program the long, hard way? And what else could you have accomplished in those hours? How many emails could you have cleared from your inbox in the time it took you to figure out what to write in your program’s first lesson? What precious lifelong memories could you have made with your loved ones, in the time you spent trying to identify and fill gaps in your content? How many... Read More

A friend of mine recently asked me how to connect with more people online. Here are a few strategies I've personally found useful: 1. State what you do concisely and clearly in your profile's "Intro" section. People who are checking out your profile should immediately know who you help and how you help them.

This shows people that you have valuable expertise to share,... Read More
