When you engage with a 1-1 business coach or mentor:
  • You meet with them 2-4 times per month.
  • You can email them questions.
  • They might have additional learning materials for you.
 
Essentially you’re spending a lot of time getting input from one person. And it usually costs between $300 - $1,000 per month.
 
This is the service I used to provide. In the past 3 years, however, I’ve designed what I believe is a better alternative.

Online Course: How To Get More Clients with Authentic Marketing

Picture

I’m excited to be launching an updated course about Authentic Client Enrollment.
 
Why is it that so many solopreneurs struggle to get enough clients? Some of the reasons, which this course helps to solve, are: (1) Not having a clear plan for client attraction and enrollment, or (2) Not feeling alignment with a plan you’ve learned elsewhere, and therefore (3) Not being consistent in working an effective plan.

I’ll reveal it in this blog post, finally!

First of all, here are my biggest lessons learned…

10 Month Update on my Spiritual Side Business

I have to get real with myself (and with you) -- it’s not really a business until it starts to make money. 

For now, it’s a hobby, and a potential business. 

A few months ago, I made an initial offer to my new (spiritual side project) audience: Would they be interested in hiring me as a spiritual counselor, even for just $35 an hour? This is far lower than my business coaching fees, but I wanted to experiment, knowing I can eventually raise it up to a rate that is sustainable.
