  • Grow and practice using your tools for assessing what people need to make the most fundamental shift into better health
  • Design a spectrum of offerings that guide your clients/students to how they want to be. Learn how to
    identify where potential clients/students are on this spectrum, and how to best assist their needs.

Month 3

Who are your people?
Get specific with who you’re serving.

Knowing these needs will enable you to then develop clear strategies for moving people into their desired vibrant wellness goals specifically.

  • Discover techniques to explore your niche and find out how they best express their needs.
  • Design your offerings (courses, workshops, sessions, coaching) from the input.

Month 4

Your healing strategy, client process &

    need and service.

    hear what potential and current clients are seeking, and we’ll listen for the gaps in the healing industry. You’ll create your simple business model or refine your current model to better meet the needs of your community based on what information you’ve gathered.

Month 6

Become an authority.

    start to put out materials that are an asset to our potential customers, they spread. Learn how to
    create materials that are helpful, and draw your potential clients to you. Tap into how creating great content and great relationships becomes your marketing strategy.

Testimonials

Sara McKeown www.saramckeown.com
“Great call today. Really helped me to get unblocked in some areas regarding money.  And not that I’m inclined to believe in “signs” but right after we hung up I checked the mail and my provisional counseling license was there.  I might actually getting hooked up to the right pipeline after all!”

Charlotte Clews www.wildopenheart.com
“I got enough support with the avatar/niche work early on, and pushed myself to incorporate more online technology such that I was able to support 45 students in my spring training course – I figure that this course enabled me to recruit more students than I would have otherwise and thus paid for the course.”

Sarah Hutchinson:
“The Mentors’ Club plays the woven edge of consciousness and business;a place of self discovery and exploring your dharma. Like yoga, business skills are a practice, for which we need a teacher. Cate guided me to a new level of self awareness and practicality. I clarified my intentions and learned business skills to enhance my classes and workshops; synching up with the new economy. Sarah Hutchinson, www.sarahhutchinsonyoga.com

Liz Heyliger:
“I was really able to clearly articulate my vision and the various steps that I can take in that direction, now, today. It doesn’t have to be something that I put o! until…after the kids are grown, after I go to school, after…I can take steps now.By wanting to wait until I know more I was being selfish and only prolonging the hold society and employment have on me – working too much, not enough time for me or my studies or my business…not making the money I am worth, not helping others by sharing my knowledge.”

My mentors’ mistakes have saved me money and heartache. Knowing the reasoning that steered people’s failures and successes not only flattens my learning curve into a smooth highway, but it shakes my thinking up — and ideas begin to surface. Danielle LaPorte www.whitehottruth.com
