Rachael Jayne Groover: Is Your Voice Sabotaging You?

Posted on by October 9, 2011

Maybe you didn’t know this, but many women are often not taken seriously because of the volume and tone of their voices.

Around 37% of someone’s decision whether to like you and trust you immediately comes from the tone of your voice – not the words!

Inspirational speaker and singer, Rachael Jayne Groover says, “Any woman who wants to make a difference doing what she loves must have a solid awareness of what the tone of her voice is really saying to others.”

Rachael Jayne has dedicated most of her life to understanding the power of a woman’s voice and how to express that so she can be seen and heard in a clear, powerful, AND feminine way.

In the 2nd video in her complimentary video course Rachael Jayne teaches a profound set of practices that will increase your personal presence and vocal power, so you can walk into any room and attract the attention you want.

Just practice one of the exercises she shares in this video and it will make a huge difference to how you are being perceived.

She also helps you to determine your current level of personal presence and magnetism, and how to increase that so you can have a more positive impact on others.

Watch #2 video NOW!

And of course, this video course is complimentary, and not only helps women increase their vocal power and presence, but helps them use the 6 fundamental skills of Feminine Leadership.  It’s an amazing series of videos. Check it out!

Are You Immersed in the Strategy of Tragedy?

Posted on by August 20, 2011

I listened to a pretty compelling presentation given by a guy on consciousness last week.

One of the things he mentioned that I really appreciated was the idea that most people operate from a Strategy of Tragedy.

Evidence of that is everywhere – especially in the self-help world.

Our minds are all ready to look for the ‘bad,’ ‘work’ on it, pay lots of attention to it.

Ever heard any of these? “It’s The Economy.” “I’m broke.” “She sure has a lot of baggage!” “I’m trying to find and resolve my core issue.” “I have cancer.” “I’m resisting success.”

The strategy is find and identify the Bad, eliminate or resolve it, move on to the next Bad.

But when you get to age 90 and all you’ve focused on was finding the Bad, always hoping to change it, continually looking and trying to eliminate or resolve it…how will it feel to still have the Bad at the forefront of your mind?

I say quit it.

You’ve heard – how many times? – that what you focus on is what you get. It’s true.

You can stand there focusing on and bewailing your flat tire for the next ten years and nothing will change – except that you’ll starve to death standing there by the road! Your Bad is all you can see!

But if you use another way of thinking, you’ll decide that standing there with your face hanging out isn’t the happiest thing you could do, and you’ll either get the tools out and start changing the tire, or drag out your cell phone and call for help.

You’ve now moved – at least partially – into the Happiness Continuum. How far you move into it depends on how much you allow yourself to enjoy the experience.

Why do I call it the Happiness Continuum?

Because that’s how I see it. I see an actual never-ending river of energy – Continue reading →

Do You Know How to Do the Behind-the-Scenes Setup of Your Teleclasses Quickly and Efficiently?

Posted on by August 5, 2011

This is for people who either don’t know how to set up a teleclass or who are looking for a more efficient, time-saving way to do the set-ups.

Big, Simple, No-Frills SALE: one more item:
SET UP and GIVE GREAT TELECLASSES!

A few of you have written to ask if there is a special on my How to Do Teleclasses course.

Well, there wasn’t…but now that you’ve asked…. (It’s usually 99, but you can get it now at 79.97)

If you’re new to giving teleclasses or still feel nervous about giving them, or if each time you do one it seems to take forever to set it up, you’ll love this course.

I created it because when I first started delivering teleclasses 10 years ago, no one taught how to do the behind-the-scenes set-up of teleclasses.

Sure, I could find courses on how to deliver teleclasses, how to develop your voice, how to market teleclasses…but no set-up instructions.

It all seemed so complex, and there were so many must-do things that had to be done all at once! How was I supposed to know what to do or the order in which to do it?

So I just sat down and scratched out an outline, and refined it and refined it – and once I had the system, the time I spent putting together my teleclasses went from a solid three days to a mere 3 hours – if that. You can do that, too, once you have the system down.

Here’s what you get (that, still, no one else teaches):

I’m for Simple.

Posted on by August 5, 2011

In internet marketing, we see conformity all the time – one guy comes up with a “formula that works,” and all of a sudden, everyone and his left brother has similarsqueeze pages, opt-in boxes, videos, fancy freebie-giveaways, and so on. It all looks the same after a while!

Well, I object. I like it simple. SIMPLE. So I don’t teach you to make forty freebie videos, fancy websites with fancy graphics or complex opt-in systems. I say make it simple.

Please don’t think that in order to be successful online, you have to create 3 to 5 freebie videos with all kinds of great advice on them, and end up with a super-duper, long, expensive course you promote.

Let the ones who really love to do that do that. If you don’t love to do that, don’t.

Do what YOU love to do. Whether it’s

Sir Ken Robinson: How School Squashes Creativity, Why that’s Bad for the Future & What to Do About It

Posted on by August 5, 2011

Recently I watched a couple of TED (TED.com) videos with Sir Ken Robinson.

He talks about how our educational system squashes out kids’ passion and creativity (if you’re creative at all, you know what he’s taling about!).

He says in time, as we go through our educational system, our bodies become “just a means of transport for our heads;” and that as we get older, we are “educated from the waist up…the head up…and one-sided” at that, and as adults, we “endure, rather than enjoy” our lives.

Ouch! Is life really worth living like that? I say it’s time to get “dis-enthralled” with how we were taught and on with being enticed by and enthralled with our gifts, talents and passions! Yeah! Want to see?

Here’s the first one. Go to youtube, because his series is there – watch ’em all! He’s awesome!

Freebies Are NOT Free!

Posted on by August 5, 2011

Do you realize that if you watch 2 freebie 1-hour videos every day, you’re spending 60 hours a month that you could have been investing hours in doing productive, revenue-producing work. Or having fun. Or both.

Want to be really graphic about it? Let’s say your general average fee is 100 bucks an hour. That’s 60 hours x $100 = $6000 you’re spending on ‘free’ videos!

Make sure the videos you’re watching aren’t saying the same-old-same-old stuff in various ways – instead, watch something innovative; stuff that takes you intoyour subject deeper; or that gives you actual step-by-step instructions that will really help you.

How to Create Your Know-Like-Trust Free Teleclass so People Don’t Hang Up on You

Posted on by July 27, 2011

Today I was on a teleclass that I had been eagerly anticipating for 2 weeks.

I was enthusiastic about the topic, and was excited to hear what new ideas this person was going to share with us, because she was supposedly an expert, had over 100K on her list, and financially successful. OK, I’m interested….

My excitement started to wane, however, at 8 minutes in when she was still talking about herself, her experience, her list numbers, her income – and then more about how we could get the offer she was going to grace us with at the end, and her phone number, and then more about her education….

By 12 minutes she still hadn’t gotten through her very disjointed and disorganized intro; I started wondering what else I could be doing with my time; I was bored; I hung up.

12 minutes for an intro? What a waste of 10 whole minutes she could have used for more creative, productive speaking! I wondered how many other participants hung up about that time.

Don’t let that happen to you!

HOW to DO a K-L-T TELECLASS RIGHT

When you give a freebie teleclass that is meant to gather new people to your list and build the know-like-trust factor, you want them to:
•  listen with all ears
•  love your content
•  feel helped
•  stay to the end and
•  walk away from your call saying, “wow, that was great, I want more of that!”
•  go to or buy whatever it is you’re offering

Here are a few things you can do to have a really inspiring, successful, know-like-trust freebie teleclass. Continue reading →

New Coaching Marketing Paradigm: Exciting or Intimidating?

Posted on by July 25, 2011

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 Continue reading →

Taking My Own Advice So I Can LIVE My Dream….Rah! Rah!

Posted on by July 20, 2011

Rah! Rah! = Live Your Dream!

This is for you if you have been scared pattoey-less about diving into a commitment to your Calling.

Doesn’t matter what that is for you – whether you’re a numbers-cruncher or an artist or a coach or a model railroad afficianado…if you feel Called, it’s Time for you to Dive Deeper.

Because when you – we – dive deeper, we expand the Happiness Continuity vibes on the planet. No kidding.

Each of us is like a boat racing through water – our wakes affect everything in the vicinity, and the ripple effect goes out for miles.

Imagine if there were 500 (5,000, 5,000,000!) Happiness Boats with giant, delightful wakes – that’s us! Whew.

Last week, I decided I’d put a whole lot more time into making and marketing my artwork. Making stuff is my natural calling. I just do it. I never had to be urged to do it – images and ideas just flow from mind to thought to fingertips automagically.

But making that commitment to doing more of it and easing back from coaching and biz training scared the living daylights out of me – at first.

Then I remembered (see? whatever level of mastery you have attained, there’s

Link Shorteners Making Your Emails into (ugh!) Spam?

Posted on by July 20, 2011

Thanks to subscriber Paul Buelens, who just sent me an article that talks about bit.ly links affecting your email deliverability because of spammers using bit.ly.

Darn it. I loved being able to see how many people actually click on my links and where they come from.

Anyone got a shortener you recommend?

Tinyurl.com and Snipurl.com are OK – are there any others out there that you personally use to shorten your links, track your clicks and see where the clicks came from?

Do You Make This Critical Website Mistake?

Ms Happy Biz Website Owner

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is to not have a picture of themselves (or their team) on their website. It’s a shame, because it’s so easily remedied!

It’s been proven that sites with photos have a higher conversion rate for products and services than those without.

Put a photo of you (and your team) on your site as soon as you can if you have not yet – it enormously magnifies the know- like-and-trust factor.

No need for fancy, pro shots – just use one where your personality can shine through – showing you laughing, or with your kind smile, eye contact….

5 Steps to Stop Swilling In Your Old Story and Start Living A New Satisfactory One

Posted on by July 20, 2011

Recently in my coaching sessions I’ve become more and more adament about getting people to discard their old, unsupportive, destructive Stories.

Yes! I have an agenda! I know, I know, coaches are supposed to walk beside you and hand-hold you as you walk your journey. Point out and help you get around blocks, blind spots and oopses. And not have  an agenda. I think that’s ridiculous.

Because I want more for my clients. I want them to get where they want to go easier and funner – and sooner.

So I use my personal favorites of levity, inspiration, and lots of love to get them to shed their Old Stories faster. Why?

Because once the Old Story isn’t there anymore, the New Story – the funner, more satisfying, more productive and utterly lovely one – can finally begin to come about. (I’m working on getting the word ‘funner’ into the dictionary….)

It’s so easy to sit there and dwell upon, bitch and moan about, remember and relive old hurts – what people said, what they did to you, how you felt, feel the confusion, hurt, powerlessness…aren’t you just really, really tired of that?

If you’re tired of the same-old, same old, here’s one very simple thing you can do right now:

How I dropped 44 Pounds & Got My Clear Mind Back

Posted on by July 5, 2011

NO MORE FOG-HEAD, MEMORY LOSS…OR COMFORT-EATING!

Two of the worst problems I experienced before I dropped almost 45 pounds in the last 6 months were a feeling of fog-head every morning that got better by noon, but didn’t really ever clear up, leaving me feeling like a major part of my life was vague and missing; and the extreme loss of short-term memory.

It really freaked me out, because truly thought I was sliding into a rapidly advancing case of Alzheimers.

Part of the program I used to drop the excess weight was letting go of starches. (No, it really wasn’t all that difficult after the first few days, and I still don’t eat or even miss them now.)

After only 1 week of no starches, the fog-headedness completely cleared up. GONE! Celebrate! I continue to avoid starches even now (well, except an occasional orange yam! – yum) and I’m experiencing almost zero memory loss.

If you’d like to see what I looked like before and after, go here: FinallySlimandTrim.com – it’s pretty embarrassing to reveal, but I thought it might be inspiring to you if you’re struggling with something similar.

How did I get that big? Add up not being able to exercise after surgery, sheer laziness after I was well again, corn chips and ginger snaps and sitting on my duff for hour after hour at the computer…well, you can see how I packed it on!

When I reached 205 that was It. My dad was 6’2″ and weighed less. Something had to change, or I knew I’d never make it past 70.

Yes, I used a radical program (and on that site there’s a link to it if you’re interested in checking it out. There’s a lot of controversy about it, but I’m not going into that here because that isn’t what I want you to pay attention to right now).

I want you to consider how much grain-related stuff you eat for comfort.

Yup – comfort. Comfort-eating will make you bulge in all the wrong places! Whether it’s starchy-stuff, sugar, fats and salty-foods – if you eat for comfy-ness, you’re going to get fatty-ness.

Pdf-Maker & an Easy Free Autoresponder Service

Posted on by July 5, 2011

PDFS & PLAIN TEXT APPS
People ask me all the time how I create pdfs. I use InDesign, myself, because I create ebooks and print books for people, but it’s an expensive application most people don’t need.

I had thought it was pretty common knowledge that you can save a Word doc to print and choose save as pdf and make one that way. There are freebie pdf-makers online if you google ‘how to make pdfs’.

I learned recently that at openoffice.com there are resources for pdf-making there. They also have a plain-text doc application, which is important to use if you’re writing web copy (if you use Word to pre-write your copy, the underlying code in Word corrupts your website html code and you get those nasty black diamond-shaped symbols where punctuation would be).

FREE AUTO-RESPONDER
I also found out about a free service (they also have for-fee upgrades) you can use if you’re just starting out and can’t swing 1shoppingcart.com or even aweber.com’s services.

You may have already heard of it before, but I had not: MailChimp.com. You can email up to 12,000 people at once and set up a slew of auto-responders for free. A very, very good deal.

I’ve been going through it to see how easy and simple it is – simple is my keyword – and it is, indeed, very simple. Easy…well, maybe an 8 out of 10. They have very good video tutorials,  but I was annoyed that the tutorial was one of those dark window things imposed over the page I was working on so I couldn’t hit pause and do as she did in the video. So I opened a new window in which to watch the tutorial, and that worked great.

So if you need an auto-responder and you’re just starting out and don’t want to pay those the wazoo, it’s a very good way to go.

A word of caution: be crystal clear that you need to set it up in a clear, organized fashion. Because your list will grow over time, and if you have this list and that list connected to this site and that product, when one day you want to move your list to a bigger-capacity service, it’s going to be an absolute nightmare that takes ten times the time and energy you would have spent if you were well-organized.

Granted, by then you’ll probably have people who can do that for you, but you’re still paying them for the time!

10 Power Breakthrough Questions You Can Use on Yourself and with Your Clients for Faster, More Effective Coaching Results

Posted on by July 20, 2011

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.

10 Power Breakthrough Questions

Posted on by June 28, 2011

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:
http://bit.ly/10-BTQs

You can come on the call without interaction, or only get the audios, that’s fine, too.
http://bit.ly/10-BTQs

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 –
aloha –
Angela

p.s. Use this link if you want to be on the call live, or come on the call without interaction, or only get the audios, that’s fine, too. Use this link here: http://bit.ly/10-BTQs

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

Are All Those Freebies You Listen to and Watch Really Free?

Posted on by June 25, 2011

Computer Blues © Lyon 2009Hate to tell ya – “FREE” just simply…isn’t.

Play with this: let’s just pretend you make 100 bucks an hour.

Now add up all the hours you spend reading or watching freebie stuff (that say pretty much the same thing in different ways) in one week. Go on, just guesstimate it right here. No one’s looking but you!

Be prepared to be very shocked! Because if you watch just 4 hours’ free videos a week, you’ve ‘spent’ 400 bucks’ worth of time you could have used to do what you’re good at and for which you could have charged money!

Instead, you were spending it looking for freebies. You thought you were saving money. But you were spending it, instead. Ouch.

And here’s a kicker…you and I both know that the time you spend doing ‘free’ stuff online every week is in reality a whole lot more than 4 hours, isn’t it?

What to do? Take the info you got from ONE freebie. Take that time you’d have spent looking for more info online, and use it to IMPLEMENT what that one freebie has shown you!

Then do another one, and another one, and do it again – until you’ve gotten some tangible results! Little step by little step, you’ll get where you want to go.

Want real success? Quit it with the freebies, and stick with one expert you know, like and respect, whose stuff you like. And spend your time DOing what they suggest.

No More “Everything is FREE” Online….

Posted on by June 24, 2011

My Dreams Come in Floating Moonfulls © Lyon 1999Get 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.

Why Do I Use Affiliate & Bit.ly Links?

Posted on by June 24, 2011

Why not tell you about others' stuff?This is something I’ve been wanting to write about for a while – and yesterday someone asked me about it, so I guess it’s time to talk about it.

Maybe you notice that, 1. I use bit.ly links. And that 2. I sometimes tell you about other people’s offers – books, marketing advice, products – that I think you could use.

Well, why would telling you about other people’s stuff  not be OK?

I tell you about it because I know that I can’t possiblly coach you all! And some of the things you need for your progress to success is beyond my capabilities, or maybe it’s stuff I have no desire to teach. So I tell you about other people’s prodcuts and services to you to make sure you have access to what you need for your practice and your business success.

Now, here’s what’s different Continue reading →

How Can Your Archetypes Help You Get Unstuck?

Posted on by June 24, 2011

Yesterday I worked with “Anne,” a transformational energy coach who uses EFT and other tools for shifting consciousness.

(Perk your ears up – you’ll relate to this if you’re a coach of some sort.)

In a soft, weak little voice, Anne told me that she felt helpless, unfocused, tired all the time, and always angry at herself for not doing enough…but didn’t know what to do or how to resolve that. She said, “I feel inauthentic, wimpy and powerless.”

I’ve mentioned using Archetypes before to you – here’s how I used hers to help her.

(Curious about using Archetypes to help with your money and marketing? Go here: arche-money-marketing-I and arche-money-marketing-II)

Anne’s main Archetype is “Alchemist,” the visionary, catalyst, healer, transformer. The one who helps people make their dreams come true. I used that to help her see her way out, because she had misplaced her connection to her own Beingness.

An alchemist is all about possibility. As a coach, you’re a transformer – can you feel that? Can you see how you evoke change in people, just by the way you speak and act?

But Anne had forgotten to do that for herself! Consequently she ended up feeling constricted, discouraged and disconnected, because she wasn’t living her inner truth.

I asked her this: “If you were really all about possibility, openings, magic, and making a powerful difference in surprising or even mysterious ways, what would that be like for you?”

She contemplated for a minute, and when she replied, all of a sudden, she was      Continue reading →

Money & Marketing with Archetypes

Posted on by June 24, 2011

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?

What Are Archetypes and Why Would They Affect Your Marketing and Your Money?

Posted on by June 10, 2011

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 –

Facebook ‘Likes’ – Good or Bad for Bringing You More Traffic?

Posted on by March 20, 2018

Do you have a ‘Like’ button function enabled in your blog or website?

This is an excerpt of an article by Cris Crum at WebProNews.com I enjoyed today I thought you might want to read – read the rest of it here.

“…Like buttons get 3 – 5 times more clicks if 1. versions that show thumbnails of friends are used, 2. they allow people to add comments, 3. they appear at both the top and the bottom of content, and 4. they appear near visual content like videos or graphics. He looks at a specific example with Metacafe, which originally had a Like button at the bottom of its videos, but after adding one to the top in addition to it, tripled its number of daily likes and doubled its amount of referral traffic from Facebook.”

One like button added to the top as well as the bottom tripled the likes and doubled the traffic. Pretty powerful.

Milana Leshinsky, Classical Musician-Turned-Millionaire Online Marketing Expert

Posted on by May 26, 2011

I felt very honored to be able to interview extraordinary Classical-Musician-Turned-Millionaire-Marketer Milana Leshinky recently.

Milana shared how she came to the US thinking she’d continue in her advanced music training, but ended up … well, I’ll let her tell you.

It’s pretty amazing what one person, with 2 small kids and speaking no English can do in a very short amount of time!

I loved her sincerity and humbleness, and the way she always goes for powerful simplicity. I was amazed at her generosity and candidness – Milana shares more simple, doable marketing tips and ideas than you usually hear in a teleclass!

Here’s where to go to listen in on my interview on The Daring Draemers Showcase with her, and to hear her tips and strategies: Click here: http://bit.ly/IDYR-Milana-Interview

And if you’d like to check out the program she tells us about near the end of the interview, use this link: http://bit.ly/Milana-Launch-Program

In her FREEbie video she reveals:
•  Exactly what she did in her very first product launch to generate $40K+ in only four weeks

•  11 different areas she left money on the table, which probably cost her an additional $100K in lost revenue (Ouch! That’s honesty!)

•   A simple 28-day product launch plan even a complete “newbie” can follow!

You Mean You Can TALK to Animals? Heal Them from A Distance?

Posted on by May 28, 2011

Colleen Flanagan Animal ExpertFinally! Now you can really help your critters, yourself!

Did you know that when something’s wrong with an animal, but medical exams or lab work shows no reasons why, fear-based emotions can be the culprit?

Some animals are just more emotional than others. They can have many fears…about having been adopted, leaving their animal families, being abused, sick, starved, neglected, punished or abandoned…you name it!

That’s why Animal Expert Colleen Flanagan wrote The ATT: Animal Tapping Techniques ebook. She recognizes how frustrating it is when your pet or animal is sick and you don’t know where to turn or what to do next – and did something about it that works! Here’s where to get the ebook: http://bit.ly/heal-your-pets

Haven’t you wished you could:

  • Discover how to easily communicate with your pets
  • Find out what’s bothering your animals
  • Help them with soothing stress/fear release
  • I sure have! (Impatient? http://bit.ly/heal-your-pets)

Colleen was one of the first EFTers to become an animal expert – when everyone else was tapping on people, Colleen was out in the corral tapping with horses and tapping on dogs, cats and other critters.

She finally decided she could help more animals if she did it on the phone with their humans! Wouldn’t you just love to know how to do that??

The ATT: Animal Tapping Techniques reflects her years of experience working with pets and their humans, and both tame and wild animals.

What do you get?

Tips, scripts and set-up statements all designed to hasten your animal’s release of painful emotions, tapping surrogately on yourself on the animal’s behalf. These can be used on wild animals in zoos, wildlife parks and in nature, too!

Animal caregivers worldwide have used and praised The ATT: Animal Tapping Techniques now for 2 years – if you’ve got a critter at home, out on the farm or ranch, or care for wild critters near you, I bet you’ll like it, too.

I invite you to get this important resource guide here: http://bit.ly/heal-your-pets
