Make Your Living from Personal Development: Private Mentorship Programme

Are you one of those people who eats, sleeps, and breathes personal development? Do you thumb through self-help books in the bookshop, attend workshops with your favourite speakers, and think to yourself...

... well, if you’re passionate about the difference that authentic and educational personal growth information can make in people’s lives - and you feel called to support and inspire people with your knowledge, wisdom and inspiration - please read-on...

Now, over the years, I’ve read literally hundreds of books on a range of business, psychology, philosophy and spiritual themes – and through my work as an ex-director of Alternatives (Piccadilly, London) – I’ve played host to many of the leading-lights in self-help and wellbeing...

... and, over the past fifteen years I’ve built up a highly successful personal development business of my own...

During this time I’ve -

• Travelled the world giving over 1,000 talks and workshops in 14 countries.
• Coached and mentored hundreds of people all over the world.
• Been the subject of almost 1,000 media features.
• Published 5 books, including a bestseller, The Work You Were Born To Do.

My work is one of the greatest blessings in my life, and I can honestly say, that if someone had sat on my desk (back when I was selling computers to Japanese banks in the City of London) - and told me that I’d end up with such an adventurous and exciting life - I would never have believed it was possible....

I feel blessed that every day I’m given new opportunities to share ideas, information and education that I know has a profound impact on people’s self-esteem, wellbeing, success, income and quality of life.

I get to watch my clients grow in confidence, rise to new challenges, and surpass even their own highest aspirations for success. The business I’ve created fills my life with meaning, joy and inspiration, and I’m constantly amazed by the new opportunities it creates for me.

In fact, I sometimes joke that building this business has been like a decade long personal development seminar in its own right! The journey to becoming a successful writer, speaker, and trainer is an amazing adventure – but it’s also an incredible call to growth – because you’re continually asked to step-up, overcome your resistance and play a bigger game...

... all of this has been very much at the forefront of my mind, because recently, I’ve been noticing that surprising numbers of my clients have been expressing a heartfelt desire to set-up their own businesses selling personal development, spirituality, self-help, or therapeutic products and services.

I thought maybe I was noticing a trend – and it’s true – a little research confirms that the market for self-help materials is absolutely booming right now.

For example, I’ve discovered that – contrary to what the economic doomsayers might be saying - the worldwide market for personal development products and services is expected to grow to $11 billion dollars in 2008, and is expanding by a staggering $500m per year.

This confirmed my belief that now really is a brilliant time to start a new personal development business...

... so, would you like to play YOUR role in satisfying the incredible hunger the world has for high-quality inspiration and education?

If so, I’m launching a brand new mentorship programme, the goal of which is to equip you with an end-to-end roadmap for building a successful self-help business, and to offer you a unique combination of intensive live seminars and one-on-one coaching from myself and my team of experts.

... and if you’re not sure what kind of personal development business you’d like to run, or even if you’re just plain terrified of making the leap from employment to running your own business – no problem - you’ll have the opportunity to attend a pair of live events completely inclusive in the cost of the programme called Discover The Work You Were Born To Do and Become An Inspired Entrepreneur.

... the first seminar (my signature live event) will help you re-ignite a sense of inspiration and purpose around your work, and give you the insights you need to tune your soul’s compass and get in touch with what you’d really love to do with your life. The second seminar will equip you with some basic business skills, and give you a detailed roadmap for turning your passions and talents into a fully-functioning business.

... and combined with the ongoing hands-on support you’ll receive from me, you’ll be well on your way to designing your dream business before you know it!

Now, obviously, the mentorship you’ll receive will be carefully tailored to your unique requirements, but over the next six months, here’s an idea of the kinds of things we’ll cover:

• The major routes into the personal development business: I’ll teach you the key skills you need to master, highlight the common pitfalls, and pass on my ‘blueprint’ for structuring a successful self-help business. Plus, you’ll get a free ticket to our multi-sellout live seminar - Getting Started in the Personal Development Business - that will teach you how to set yourself up as a coach, speaker and publisher, and start developing your authentic voice in the world of personal growth.

• How to become a successful coach: discover what life is really like in the coaching business; the major pitfalls to avoid; how to price your services; the pros and cons of ‘coaching school’ qualifications; a quick-start plan for getting YOUR first intake of clients; how to build a long-term marketing strategy; plus, how to create a compelling offering that clients will literally join a waiting list to participate in...

• ... also, I’d be delighted to give you the inside track on how - with a little creative packaging and smart positioning - I built a highly successful coaching practice, that pulls in over £3000 in fees, working less than three days per month.

• You’ll discover how I established myself as a bestselling author, and earned thousands of pounds in residual income from royalty cheques, plus, how you can give yourself the very best chance of doing the same. You’ll learn how the mainstream publishing business actually works, and you can draw on my expertise to help you create a winning book proposal and begin approaching publishers – the right way. You’ll also get free access to a live seminar with leading publishing consultant Julia McCutchen called How To Create a Personal Development Bestseller. This is your opportunity to learn the mechanics of the publishing business, and get the inside-track on how to write a bestselling self-help book from the woman who gave me my big break in this industry.

• I’ll teach you how to move beyond your fear of public speaking and start thinking of yourself as a professional presenter. I’ll also equip you with a toolbox of proven teaching strategies for structuring your information so that your students are able to quickly master your materials, and build a long term relationship based on a strong foundation of trust and respect.

• This part is important: I’ll guide you through the process of designing your signature talk – which is the unique branded content you’ll use to differentiate yourself in the market. You’ll learn how I made the most of ‘lecture circuit’ opportunities and secured my first paid engagements, and I’ll support you through the process of staging your very first live event.

• ... plus you’ll get all-inclusive access to a live seminar called Design and Deliver Your Signature Talk. By the time you’ve finished this event - you'll have not only designed your signature talk - you'll also have real-world experience of delivering it and you'll be firmly on the road to creating your first paid speaking opportunities. Plus, you’ll get access to one-on-one feedback from top speaking coach Lyndon Hughes AND a digital video-clip of your performance you can take away.

• I’ll give you the inside track on how I went from a “cold start” to earning up to £3000 for a single one hour presentation and even more for one day workshops, and how I use the media (TV, radio and press) to build a network of connections that enables me to secure the ‘big gigs’.

• I’ll show you how I earned tens of thousands of pounds by packaging my expertise as online educational programmes that are upto seventy times more profitable than my mainstream published books. I’ll show you how to develop inspirational & practical infoproducts (e.g. e-books, digital audio, e-learning programmes and home study courses) that deliver tangible results and improve the lives of your clients. You’ll also have the opportunity to attend (again, completely free of charge) the live seminar I run with Niki Hignett called How To Create Your First £2000 From Infoproducts - and also - Niki’s flagship course called Online Marketing Demystified. The first course will teach you all you need to know about information marketing, and the second will give you a straightforward game plan you can use to drive big traffic to your website, PLUS, a tried-and-tested strategy for converting those visitors into paying clients and customers.

• I’ll teach you an ingenious joint venture and endorsement strategy - that you can begin using immediately - to leverage the priceless trust and goodwill that other businesses have worked tirelessly to develop with their audience. Then I’ll show you the exact approach I’ve used to generate a constant stream of new clients by having other businesses stamp their seal-of-approval on my offering – then we’ll work together to apply the same tactics in YOUR business.

• I’ll teach you the precise method I used to build a mailing list of over 10,000 people – a skill that took me from being a “one man band” to having a mature business that provides inspiration and education to thousands of people worldwide AND gives me an abundance of time, money and freedom.

• I’ll show you how you can ‘come out of nowhere’ and quickly generate credibility in your niche, and I’ll support you through the process of building an ‘expert platform’ for creating visibility. You’ll also attend (again, free of charge) my multi-sellout live event called Build Your Expert Brand, that will teach you the practical skills and know-how you need to start establishing yourself as an expert authority in any market, attract more clients, boost your income, and build a highly memorable ‘expert brand’ all without spending a penny on advertising.

• ... and lastly, you’ll be give a free ticket to a special live event with PR and media expert Chantal Cooke called The Secrets of Free Publicity. In this jam-packed seminar she’ll be teaching you, step-by-step, how to become a high profile media expert - by getting free publicity for your business on TV, radio and in the press - all in just 4 hours per month. You’ll go away ready to engage with the media and confident in dealing with journalists, plus, you’ll have the opportunity to see a demonstration interview, and you’ll be in with a chance to appear on Passion for the Planet Radio.

... as a fifteen year veteran of this industry, and as an accomplished business coach in my own right, I feel that the timing is perfect for me not only to “pull back the curtain” and take a select group of individuals behind the scenes in my own successful company – but also – I’d like to take YOU by the hand and give you the intensive one-on-one support you need to create your dream business.
