I’m so glad I did two teleseminars of this powerful subject last week – each teleseminar was very different, yet power-packed for all the participants.

The audios are ready for those who bought them, the transcripts will come soon, and if you’d like to catch up and listen to them you can get them here:

Last week, I held a FREEbie Teleclass for the folks at globalteleclass.com (and no, you do not have to be a coach – the information I’m going to give you will still be important for your biz):

The 7 Critical Components You Must Have in Place to Create Your 6 Figure Coaching Business

If you’d like to listen to the audio now, here’s where to get it – free: http://7CrticalKeys.com

You get a quick (a few surprise secrets revealed) overview of the usual 7 components others tell you, like:
•   niches (marketers hate me when I tell this one)
•   how you set up your biz
•   charging higher fees
•   mindset…

…PLUS I included some important extras like:
•   what about Heart relative to business
•   what does value have to do with anything
•   hating selling and how it stops you in your tracks
•   some simple steps you can take right away to get going or to raise your level of success.

Enjoy!

STATE of the THE ART, too INTIMIDATING, or JUST PLAIN too MUCH WORK?

Have you noticed how many people are getting into the video-squeeze page and multiple freebies thing to sell their coaching services?

I think the level of technology and excellence is pretty amazing and inspiring. I love seeing how people are taking the use of available tool all the way with so much gusto.

AND…I’m wondering how you feel about what you do to get your own stuff out there when you see others doing that level of work?

Possibly inadequate or frustrated because you don’t know how to do it?

Or maybe overwhelmed with the amount of work it seems to take to do that level of marketing?

I’d like to know. Because if you feel upset, and like the marketing in the coaching world has grown past your ability to participate…like it’s becoming too-too, you’re not alone.

I feel that whether you want to create a multi-million-dollar coaching empire or a small, cozy, informal nest of help for a few people, or anything in between, it’s all good.

BUT – I don’t want you to give up on getting your work out there just because you feel intimidated, or that you have to do your marketing like the people who are creating sooper-dooper sites, squeeze pages and videos.

Just do what it takes for you with your talents, gifts and skills to do your marketing in a way that pleases YOU.

Any way you do it, it’s essential to claim your space in the marketplace, even if Read the rest of this entry »

For EFTers & ENERGY COACHES, and Anyone committed to Inner Growth

Yesterday I wrote you about the 10 Power Breakthrough Questions that I use both on myself and with my clients.

If you’re an EFT/energy practitioner, you’ll want to know these questions, because after the thrill of being able to really help people simmers down a bit and you’ve sat there on the phone or in your office all day listening to long, sad tales and doing a lot of tapping, you’re going to want to speed things up a bit.

Yes – even while you get your people moving faster, you still can give them the full value of your excellent attention, knowledge, expertise, listening skills and compassion.

Fast does not always mean less quality!

I want you to discover how you can give your ear and your heart to your clients…as well as getting them on the road to recovery, renewal and re-inspiration…in half the time – or less.

It’ll help you save lots of precious time and energy, and will help you make you more money so you ca do more of what you love to do. Who wouldn’t want that?

DO YOU MAKE THIS 1 BIG ENERGY MISTAKE?
I’m also going to let you in on one of the biggest mistakes I see coaches and energy practitioners making and how you can resolve it easily. http://bit.ly/10-BTQs

Once you stop making this one big mistake, your coaching or use of your energy or self-help tools will improve dramatically.

Because you’ll: Read the rest of this entry »

Just yesterday I had a 26-minute business breakthrough session with one of my mentors.

It enabled me to get past something I’ve been struggling with that caused me to leave about $30K on the table just since March. Ouch.

How did he do it? He asked me one question. That’s it. One.

With that one question, he totally popped me out of where I was at and into a completely shifted reality where I felt empowered and the so-called problem was no longer even a relevant thought.

And…double benefits…the question is one that now I can use myself in my own coaching.

Maybe you love to be with your clients – going over what’s going on with them, and helping them out. Yes! That’s great!

And…you probably already know that you can only work with so many people a week without feeling drained or burned out.

Well, what if you had specific ways to speed up the process so you can get them into action faster and more powerfully, getting the results they want to get…in less time than it takes you now?

That’s why I use my Power Questions.

Instead of going over and over what’s happened in the past, dwelling on the pain, the stories, the endless analyzation and shoulda-couldas…what if you could get them turned around and sprinting on the just-right-for-them path NOW?

Let’s say you have ten people a week who come to you for an hour each. Ten hours.

What would it be like if you could handle all ten in 5 hours? Or less?

I can hear you saying, “Ohhh, but…you can’t charge your usual rate for ‘only’ half an hour!”

Wrong. See, it isn’t about you spending an hour with them that’s important! If they want someone to talk to for an hour, they need a loving friend, spouse, counsellor or therapist, not a coach! You are a coach because you help your clients get specific results. So whether it takes you 10 or 30 minutes is irrelevant!

Do you think I cared that my call yesterday lasted 26 minutes instead of 60? Not a whit – because I got what I needed, and was hot to trot – I didn’t WANT to stay on the line for one second more!

I was paying for value, not minutes. I got way more than 26 minutes!

I got a future-filled bank account, clients I want to work with asking me if I would work with them, and ease in getting them going. What coach wouldn’t want that?

Want to discover how you can add more value to your clients’lives in less time – with less work – even as you raise your rates?

Well, so what?

Here’s what:

• you’ll have more of the kind of confidence that comes from that deep space of “I know I can do that”
• you can have as many 1-1 calls as you want in the week without burning out
• you’ll feel utterly comfortable and competant – espcially in your group programs
• your clients get the  breakthrough or new perspective they want in 10 to 20 minutes – or less…
• and they run out the door or get off the phone hot to trot and ready to go full blast
• you can get fast breakthroughs without sacrificing the energetic importance of the emotions and feelings that your client is experiencing – this is not about denial but redirection of creative energy!
• and – you can use these same questions on YOU!

I use these same questions on myself all the time! Because they keep me focused, sharp, inspired, creative and moving powerfully forward in my life and my business.

This is beyond getting unstuck.

This is about helping people pop rapidly through whatever they are struggling with.

It’s about helping them easily and smoothly take that next step.

They stay committed, on track through thick and thin, calmly empowered and in the light.

I want to show you how to do this so you can help more people in less time with less effort. Think that might make your day a little lighter? It sure does mine!

I invite you to join me on THURSDAY, JUNE 30 from 8 to 9pm NY time for The 10 Power Breakthrough QS Teleseminar.

• If you are the powerful coach I think you are, you’ll see the value of questions like these and take full advantage of this call.
• If you’re not a coach, but are committed to your growth and evolution, and you know the value of empowering questions, this is for you.

In Thursday’s 10 Power Breakthrough Qs Teleseminar, I walk you through what the questions are, where to ask them and how to do it so you get the best results – whether you’re using them with your clients or on yourself.

I’m keeping the live attendance at 12 people to preserve the integrity of the live interaction.

Use this link if you want to be on the call live:

You can come on the call without interaction, or only get the audios, that’s fine, too.

Yup. $97. These questions are part of my secret toolbox. I use the same Qs to get the dynamic results I’m used to getting. I want you to have them, too – they will super-charge your coaching forever.

What if I told you that…

• by using these questions you could double your income easily – with less work. Would that make a difference to you? Sure has for me!
• your clients shift radically into action-inspired go-getters who adore their work and lives
• the majority of people who I ask these questions love them to bits (and some have even asked me why I never used them before!) because they get results so fast

It’s all true. So if you are as dedicated to helping as many people as you can in your coaching, what are you waiting for?

Remember I love you -

Yes, it’s $97. Because this is advanced information you need to know now, and I don’t just give it away!

Get used to stuff online costing money. The days of “everything on the internet is free” are looooong gone!

The reality is that whatever freebie video or ebook you see on someone’s site is going to be a promotion for their further teaching or products.

Think about it like this: it’s just like those people who have tables with freebie cookies or chips at the grocery store – they want you to have a taste so you can choose to buy more.

Each person who puts out freebies knows there are a certain group of people who will really like and trust his or her materials. So they put out the freebies as little tastes, so ‘their’ people will find them and sign on.

People who either don’t want what they have to offer, or can’t make the payments, or who are simply freebie cruisers will all drop away. The marketer ends up with just the right people.

And there’s not one thing wrong with doing that.

Now that you know that, you can ask yourself some of these questions:

• Do I like the taste I got from this person?
• Do I like the way he or she speaks to me?
• Do I like the stuff being offered?
• Will I get good results if I invest in more?
• Am I OK with what is being charged according to the results I’m going to get from it?

  Those are the real questions you need to contemplate.

Then be really choosy. When you find someone you really like and whose info and hand-holding work for you, I sugges that you stick with that one main ‘expert’ to start with, and maybe a couple of others whose work you admire and get good info from.

Ditch the others. Unsubscribe. Why? Because sifting through their stuff is just going to take up more time, distract you and confuse you with conflicting information. Choose one, and then take action on what you’ve learned.

People have been asking me why knowing what their Archetypes are is important, and what knowing the inside info on them can do for them…especially in terms of money and marketing.

Imagine you are a coach who helps abused women. Your marketing is going to have a very different tone than someone who markets to young boys who love dirt-bikes! It’s going to include very different colors, words, phrases, images and symbols.

I market to dynamic business women, mostly transformational coaches. You might market to women who want a love relationship. Can you imagine how utterly different the words, images and symbols either of us uses are going to be? I’ll be using words like powerful, success, money, marketing, women entrepreneurs, while you might be using words like romance, sex, lover, intimacy.

OK, now let’s go a little deeper. What if you, too, are a business coach, and your main archetype (there are three main influencers) is Romantic?

How would you use the words and images that are aligned with your archetype? It might seem that you couldn’t, but you can – I know for a fact that someone whose main archetype is Romantic is a very successful business coach!

My own main Marketing Archetype is Alchemist. Transformation is the name of my game. Can you see how that fits for me in coaching transformational Coaches and Thought Leaders? And underneath the sheets, my Money Archetype is…Jester!

How on earth do I use that, when I want to make sure people take what I say seriously?

I won’t go into it here – my intention was to give you just a hint of what archetypes can mean for you. Let it sit a bit and see if you can come up with how the Jester can help a business coach market to coaches and thought leaders.

Think about this: if your soul-aligned marketing could bring you one more client a week, what would that do to your bottom line? Even that small a number can powerfully change your business success. Now imagine that you have a waiting list that goes out around the block – how would that feel?

Archetypes Intensive Teleseminar coming soon!

Maybe you didn’t know this, but there are 12 powerful, invisible, energetic forces called Archetypes that have been associated with you since birth!

Each one of us has these dynamic energies swirling around us and interwoven into each thread of our lives.

You can either ignore the realm of the Archetype and go about life as usual, wondering why sometimes inexplicable stuff happens to you…

Or you can do some exploring and find out what yours are and how they have been tinting your entire life from the very get-go.

When you do find out what yours are, you can finally do something about the things you thought were fixed, forever immutable.

So in a few days, I’m going to let you know how you, too, can at last discover how to use your personal Archetypes to:

•  Amp up your marketing in the most amazing ways
(For example: How would you like to know what to say to draw in your right-for-you people … and what NOT to say that repels them?!?)

•  Find and finally clear up a lot of the money mistakes you may not even know you’re making….
… and way, way more.

When I found out what my specific Archetypes’ words, images and colors were, I was blown away by how I’d been missing key elements in my marketing that could have been so easy to integrate. You can bet I’m doing it now!

And just one 4-word phrase from my personal Money Archetype Card allowed me to have a breakthrough I’d been searching for my entire life!

I’ll let you in on it soon -

Claire B. called me yesterday, all excited that the 30-minute JumpStart session we did 2 weeks ago resulted in her feeling excited and getting her act together.

She said, “I’ve already made some surprise connections and some sales…and my biz has gone 180 degrees from where it was!”

Who wouldn’t want that?

Want to get your own JumpStart?

Email me right now at this address to get yours: Lyon (at) AngelaTreatLyon.com, and put JumpStart in the subject line, so you can rush to the head of the line (I only do just so many a month, and half of them for May are already filled). We’ll get back to you with the next step.

I do most of my business and marketing coaching over the telephone, but when people come over to my place for a session, this is where we sit. Yummy.
