Coaches: 5-Step Love-Works Discovery Session Sign-up System

ATL-5-STEP The real reason you do Discovery Sessions….

I was asked to help someone who was having trouble with the money part of signing people up after her Discovery Sessions. I bet no one has ever taught you these things.

You go into Discovery Sessions thinking you’ll help the client, show her how good you are, give your best…but that’s not what a Discovery Session is all about!

I hear coaches say, “I get to the end of delivering a great Discovery Session and my clients-to-be ask about working more with me … and I don’t know what to say, and they don’t sign up!”

This will help you.

I’m going to show you how to do the Discovery Session correctly – I bet NO one taught you these 5 Steps the way I do! Yep, you probably already have your own style.

But if it ends up with people not signing up, I guess there’s still something to find out, isn’t there!

An unusual training

1. Go HERE for the unusual Discovery Session training that will change everything for you.

If you truly want to make more money helping people and making a difference, you need more clients! This will help you attract and sign them up.

Every person I’ve taught this to has told me it works like a dream! Good!

In the 60-minute audio (with accompanying 3-Part Cheat Sheet that includes my Exclusive Client Signup Script), I reveal to you the 5 highly critical elements you absolutely must include when you do a new-client inquiry, a strategy session or discovery session.

Do you think you do good Discovery Sessions … but at the end you don’t know what you’re doing? And you flub the money conversation? Go HERE for the unusual Discovery Session training that will change everything for you.

How to set your fees

2. Here’s where to learn how to set up your services and your fees so your Discovery people will ask YOU about your programs and packages, and you will feel totally comfortable talking about them.

What would it be like to feel really great about your fees – so great you don’t mind talking about them?!?

Wendy Lipton-Dibner: The Big Important Question

dibner

Wendy Lipton-Dibner, extraordinary educator and speaker-trainer, sent out a newsletter today with the following question and remarks in it, and I thought it was so profound I wanted to share it with you.

So stop what you’re doing right now and pay 100% attention, because the answer you give may change your entire business from now on. She says:

“I’m going to ask you an important question.

The answer to this question could define significant choices you’ll make from this point forward – in your business and even in your life.

Once you have the answer, your world will change.

It could actually be the missing link to your success.

Sound dramatic? You decide.

Here’s the question:

If you had the chance to speak for 10 seconds and your voice would be heard by every human being in the world…

But then after you spoke you would never be able to speak to another human being again as long as you lived…

What would you say?

Your answer to this question is your unique message.

Your message is your gift to the world.

Use it effectively and you could make a significant impact on others…not to mention dramatically increase your success.

Once you find your message, strategically position your business around it.

Use it in your marketing. Teach it to your team. Share it with your customers. Bring it home to your family.

Let it be the Guiding Rule that drives your decisions.

When your business is aligned to your message, your workday will flow more smoothly and your results will be profound.

Your message will bring you the energy you need to do the hard stuff and the grace you need to move people to action.

What’s your message?

It’s the most important question I could ever ask you.

Find your message and use it to make an impact on every life you touch.

Because life is far too short to settle for less.

Carol Tuttle: Energy Expert Millionaire

Carol Tuttle started out with an EFT practice, marketing her services, books and products online. Now she helps people dress according to and aligned with their essential energy – it’s pretty cool.

I have to admit that when I first called her to see if she’d do an interview with me for my EFT-Biz-Success program I was really nervous.

I honestly thought she’d have the brusk, impatient manner of the typical corporate jerk who has made a lot of money and ‘who the hell are you.’

Shows you what I believed about people who were self-made millionaires! Had to tap on that one – ! I had wanted to interview her because I knew she had been highly financially successful as an EFT practitioner and wanted to hear how she did that.

I was so surprised to hear her casual, very sincere manner come radiating through the phone lines – when we hung up, I actually felt lifted up by her ability to embrace and radiate simplicity and sweetness!

Perhaps you’ll be as surprised as I was to hear how she places her number one value: connection with her spiritual beliefs – absolutely first, over everything else – and how she works with that to simplify and make her life and business richly rewarding. If you are an energy practitioner, this interview is especially for you.

I wanted to specifically find out how she made so much money with her EFT practice – and she lays it out clearly as to what made her so successful.

If you’ve wondered how to hold onto your spiritual values while you operate in the mundane world, listen carefully to how Carol does it – every day – aligning her business and activities with those values, adamantly sticking to her connection. You can do this, too!

Pattie Simone: Founder of WomenCentric.net

Entrepreneur Pattie Simone is one of those people who just won’t stop. She sees a need, decided to fill it, and that’s IT – watch out!

Have you ever felt like the 9 to 5 world just isn’t for you? That working for someone else and building their fortune just doesn’t get it for you? And that there are literally hundreds of talented, gifted, smart, skilled women out there who could sure use a talent-pool of like-minded folks?

Then you’ll enjoy hearing how WomenCentric Founder Pattie Simone saw a need, stepped in and filled it – and keeps on filling it. She started Women Centric, a place where awesome women gather and list their capabilities, connections and contacts, after a brief meeting one day – you’ll hear how – and so far hasn’t looked back.

Listen in as daring Pattie tells us how she got started as an entrepreneur – how hard it was, with 2 little babies and a demanding retail store – and what she ultimately decided to do instead!

If you’ve been looking for awesome women to meet, work, JV and connect with, you’ll want to check out WomenCentric.net.

What Cool Thing Can YOU Teach at Your Local SBA?

Having thought of myself as a renegade artist for so long, I never thought I’d be teaching anything – much less the subject of business or marketing – at any government agency.

So it was a real surprise when a friend of mine who is the course director at our local Honolulu Small Business Administration, called me and asked me if I’d like to give some classes there.

I thought, why the heck not?

There are people who really could use what I know! So I put together four possible classes they might want to run.

So you can see the various possibilities, here’s what I proposed:

How to Reduce or Eliminate Stress
How to Give Successful Teleclasses
Play with Your Money for More Money to Play With
Internet Marketing Made Easy: Are You Missing These 8 Essential Elements of Marketing?

They wanted the internet marketing one.

That was a surprise, but I didn’t mind.

Then I had to think, “who is my audience? Who will be coming, and how do I prepare my class for that group?”

Who’s the best niche to market your class to?

In your local SBA, I can almost guarantee you there will be at least one person who knows that women comprise 52+% of today’s business owners.

Women are the hot market to target.

Women are sick and tired of the push marketing model, and are naturals for pull, or attractor, marketing, AND not only know how to do it, but have had a major presence in the bazaars and marketplaces of the world for hundreds of years.

What will teaching at the SBA get you?

If you offer a course at the SBA, you won’t even believe what that will get you. They have hundreds of members who are in biz who read the monthly press release that goes out announcing the classes.

That exposure alone can increase your readership considerably if you give a website address that has an opt-in box on it with an attractive offer for people to go sign up on your list.

What do you know?

Do you know something most people do not?

Do you have a skill or talent you can share?

The credibility from having taught just one class there would be all you’d need to catapult you into a whole new sphere of influence!

What to do next

I suggest that you go down to your local SBA, if you have one, or a town near you, and see what’s up. If they have classes you can register for, take one and get to know the admin people, and make friends.

Then call them and mention that you have something they can use – and if they take it, you’re in!

All you need to do is put a five steps class together:

5 Steps to creating a domain name, 5 Steps to building a website,
5 Steps to writing compelling copy,
5 Steps to selling on Ebay,
5 Steps to marketing online,
5 Steps to marketing offline

…. or whatever your skills, knowledge or expertise is in.

Give your class a compelling name, propose it and then teach it.

Offer something that has to do with whatever you know how to do, and whatever you would feel comfortable showing a complete newbie how to do it.

Once you teach there for a few months, your name will get around as the one to go to for whatever you’re known as the expert at. People will start calling you and asking for services. So in addition to what you do online, you’ll also have a good local clientele.
Why would you want a local clientele?

Because you want to connect with and stay in touch with your local community; you don’t want your face in front of your computer screen all day anymore; and because it ain’t good for your bod to be sitting all day long.

If you like to share info, consider teaching at your local SBA.

I guarantee you that you know more about your subject than the “normal” person out there – and that makes you an expert to them! Try it!

Doing local classes strengthens your internet marketing expertise by improving your communication skills and self-confidence. You go!

Milana Leshinsky: Musician Turned Millionaire Marketing Expert

Last week I had the honor of interviewing Marketing Expert Milana Leshinsky (Milana.com).

I was particularly pleased because I have gone through three or four of her online courses, and got great results with them. So I wanted you to meet her, find out all about her and her online marketing secrets.

After a childhood intensely focused on musical training, Milana emmigrated from the Ukraine in the late ’90s, expecting to continue her musiccal career. You’ll find out why that didn’t pan out, and how she jumped from music to enormous online marketing success – scared to death, not having known anything about computers or even what a mouse was!

You’ll also find out how Milana creates compelling marketing messages; why she doesn’t blink an eye over refunds; and how she discovered the secrets to membership site profits.

I was fascinated to find out why Milana insists on avoiding cleverness; how she finds out what her audience really wants (and why); and why it makes sense to sell your product before you even create it!

And, for those of you who shy away from charging high fees, listen up! Milana discusses why people will, indeed, pay your high-ticket fees; the value of specific packaging; and how to introduce yourself and your plan for instant recognition and sales.

Tara Reed, Artist and Art Licensing Expert

This week’s Daring Dreamer: Artist and Art Licensing Expert Tara Reed.

I invite you to pay close attention to this Daring Dreamers Showcase, because in a time when more people – especially artists! – are complaining about how hard it is, Tara has only seen more and more success. (Find her at ArtLicensingInfo.com)

Listen to this – it will surprise you and blow you away!

At a particularly powerful time in her life, she was smart enough to ask herself the right questions and listen to the answers and take action on them. She has given herself the gift of a powerful marketing seminar, which allowed her to learn how to do what her dreams came up with.

In this interview, you’ll hear how to ask the same kinds of educational questions so you, too, can fly through this trying time with freedom, fun and financial gain.

Artist Tara Reed is a mom and an artist whose business is licensing her art: making it available to compaines who place it on various merchandise. She calls herself an artist “by passion, not education,” because she has no formal art training, yet has made her work work for her.

During her 2004 divorce, she realized she had to make a decision: take the safer route and get a traditional job with a boss and benefits, or continue with her desire to build her own business on her terms. As a Daring Dreamer, you can guess which she chose!

Only four years later, Tara created ArtLicensingInfo.com – the go-to site for artists to learn from a variety of experts in the art licensing industry. She’s passionate about teaching other artists what licensing is all about, why do it, and how to take the steps to do it.

Click on the logo to the left or HERE to listen to our interview.

AND: This is fantastic – wait until you see this! If you are a creative professional, looking for a better way to work and grow your business, you’re going to love it!

Tara created The Goal Wheel for Artists™ (I use it, myself and love it – it’s easy to use because it’s designed for us right-brainers!). It is created specifically for artists and creative professionals who want to set & achieve goals while still working from a place of inspiration. Click HERE or on the logo below to get it!

Is Your Audience Primarily Women? If Not, Why Not?

Maybe you didn’t know that women control:

52% of businesses in the US!
70% of the spendable income!

Might want to update your thinking about women! Check out this article: Women in History, for more info and a good laugh of enjoyment at the amazing things we women have done!

Here are just a few:

In 1845, Sarah Mather received a patent for the invention of a submarine telescope and lamp. This was a remarkable device that permitted sea-going vessels to survey the depths of the ocean.

Silver Screen superstar Hedy Lamarr (Hedwig Kiesler Markey) with the help of composer George Antheil invented a secret communication system in an effort to help the allies defeat the Germans in World War II.

The invention, patented in 1941, manipulated radio frequencies between transmission and reception to develop an unbreakable code so that top-secret messages could not be intercepted.

A unique safety elevator was invented by multi-patent holder Harriet Tracy; and an important device for the lifting and transporting of non-ambulant invalids was invented by Sarah Sands.

Margaret Knight was born in 1838. She received her first patent at the age of 30, eventually received some 26 patents. Her machine that made flat-bottomed paper bags is still used to this day!

If you are a coach, healer, energy practitioner or therapist, a teacher, speaker, author or artist, or work in some way to inspire and encourage people to live and do their best, I want to invite and encourage YOU to sign up to be a Luminary on the site right away. It’s run by an amazingly dynamic woman named Gail Goodwin.

She’s a shining example of a Daring Dreamer.

She literally awoke one morning with a song in her head. She and her daughter, who is a singer, and who arranged the song for her band to perform, have taken that song–and themselves and the band–across the world to entertain our troops.

The stories she heard about how those guys survive the tough time out in the warzones inspired her so much that she set up InspireMeToday.com so they could have an inspiring story, a video they can watch, and a short and a long MP3 they can listen to on their iPods or MP3 players every day. Anyone can listen to and get inspiration from these stories and inspirational messages.

I was so fortunate to be one of the first Luminaries on her site. I highly encourage you to go to InspireMeToday.com, sign up, create your audios and even a video if you want, and submit them. You get to be a Good Guy and inspire people, and you get free exposure for yourself and your biz. What more could you want?!?

Oh yes–please do tell Gail I sent you–I like her to know I’m still out here rooting for her. Thanks! You’ll find the inspiring interview I did with her here.

Membership Sites: Beware of the Hazards of Free Trials

You’ve probably seen many membership sites and one-month ‘free’ trial on websites. They’re a great idea – but I invite you to please be careful.

Some one-month ‘free’ trials don’t have end-of-trial notifications, and if you’ve forgotten you signed up, it can be a big surprise to get their charge on your card at the end of the trial time.

Here’s what I’ve learned to do:

I’m really choosy now as to what I sign up for! If I do decide to do the trial, I write on a sticky note the site name, my info (username and password), and the date I signed up for the trial membership.

If I have doubts as to whether I’m going to stay, I make a reminder to check with myself by a certain date so I can unsubscribe if I want to before I get charged.

If I know I’m going to stay, I add the site to my list of monthly payments that I make so it won’t be a surprise when my card gets charged.

Another thing.

If it’s a site where you could possibly enter all kinds of info and data, you may not want to put time and data into it so you don’t want to leave when the time the trial month is up.

Just wait! You’ve lived without the site until now–it’s OK to live without it until you make a final decision. Don’t put your data and info on it yet until you’re sure.

I’m talking about shopping cart sites, autoresponder sites, affiliate sites, web 2.0 sites–they know darn well if you start populating all the info fields with your data you’re not likely to leave.

Do your research first.

Avoid entering your email address or any of your personal info before you see if it’s the one you feel best about sticking with on a permanent basis.

If it’s a site where you get a lot for your money, and you feel good about the people who run it, and the integrity and quality of what you get, then don’t hesitate!

p.s. THE RIGHT SIGN: Maybe you’ve seen this video already, but I think it’s lovely. (And it’s a great example of what happens when you have the right marketing message!)

How to Write Thousands Without Feeling Nervous

It’s an amazing thing to have thousands of people read your emails weekly.

It used to frighten me at first, because my mailing list grew so fast, and I had never written to more than one person at a time before. I was so afraid I’d put people off.

But as I went along, I got more and more comfortable, because I shifted from, “Oh no, what if I blow it, what will they think about what I say,” and a whole slew of other fears. I was afraid of what you, the people on my list, thought of me, my work and what I had to say.

How do you sit down and write thousands of people?

People ask me all the time:

Isn’t it hard?
How do you keep from feeling overwhelmed?
How do you know what to write?

I was speaking about this the other day with a friend who also has a large mailing list. We were laughing about how hard it was at first to write these newsletters until we started thinking about it differently.

I told her how I think about my readers and carry them all around with me wherever I go, and she laughed and said, yeah, I do that, too.

Do you care? Really care?

After a couple months of writing my list, I realized how much I really do care about my readers, and how passionate I am about what I do and believe in, and about wanting you to have the very best of anything I can create or make available to you.

I started seeing that, if I didn’t believe in myself
or my work, my readers certainly wouldn’t!

So I asked myself this: if I was Jack Canfield or Oprah or one of those “out-there” people who are so passionate about what they do, what would I write and say?

What results would I want my readers to have?

How could I write about it all so my readers would really get what I was saying and get the Goods from my products and services?

Ahhhh, relief!

As soon as I started writing from that frame of mind, I felt such relief, because I understood that you wouldn’t have signed up for the newsletter if you weren’t attracted to *something* about what you see on my sites.

And I saw that the ones who unsubscribe are not criticizing or mad, they’re just not interested anymore, or feel overwhelmed, and my stuff is low on their priority lists. It’s OK. I stopped taking it personally, and started to get really excited about writing every week about what is important to me with people to who appreciate and get great benefits from it, too.

Cruising…

I take about an hour every day to cruise online, looking for things that tweak my oh-this-is-cool buttons. Stuff from TED.com, funny stuff, stuff from folks who have great programs or ingenious or innovative energy therapies or consciousness-raising ideas and solutions.

And I take the best of those and share them with you. It used to feel like work, long ago. But now it’s fun and I look forward to writing you, because I’m passionate about what I do.

The results I see people get from using the info I share is well worth the time it takes, and I get tremendous pleasure from carrying you around in my heart!

Are you just starting up?

So if you are writing or starting up a newsletter and you don’t know where to begin, start with what you love, what you are passionate about.

Tell your readers a little story like I just did–doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out thing–and let them know who YOU are. We all crave connection, so give it to us who read you–don’t just tell us you have this or that to sell, week after week, because then it feels like all we are to you is a possible income source.

We want to know about you, what you think, and how your heart feels. Write from there, and your aligned readers will love you and your products and services. Anyone else will unsubscribe, and that’s OK!

Write from your heart!

Share yourself and your best offers!

Show us that you really understand and care about your readers!

We will then feel that, and respond accordingly.

Spirit in Business?

Have you ever felt there was a Divine Presence in your life?
