Who Cuts You Down When You’re Trying to Live Your Dreams?

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:

Did You Face and Defeat YOUR Devils This Week?

If you were on my recent Defeat Your Devils training teleseminar, you found out how to handle your emotions and take control of your life on a much deeper level by stewarding your energy.

You got three of my powerful, simple, fast, unique ways to keep from getting bogged down any more by fear, anger, discouragement, etc. – even how to harvest the clean energy under those fears and doubts to use later for creativity!

What? You weren’t there?

Then I invite you to get the audio here: Defeat Your Inner Devils.

Why? Because those little devils are the powerful, heckling, dream-destroying buggers that keep you trapped in living a too-small, frightened, cramped life!

Is that what you really want? I bet it isn’t, but you never knew how to do anything about it before. Right? Kick ’em out! Show ’em who’s boss! Live bigger, freer, happier! Here’s how: Defeat Your Inner Devils.

Have You Expanded Your Branding by Using Unique-to-You Music on Your Interviews, Audios and Youtube Videos?

Did you know that you can get royalty-free music as background music for your videos? Then you don’t have to worry about copyright infringement.

Here are a couple of good music sources: http://MusicBakery.com or  http://Pond5.com

Or, you can get one of the many talented people on http://fiverr.com to help create your music for you for 5 bucks! They will play, sing or write a new tune for you – they’re an awesome resource. I use them a lot.

TIP: For your audios, I suggest you get a 30-second intro/outro tune you use as your signature music, and have that in every one of your recordings – play the first 5 seconds loud, then taper off to zero sound at its end as you get into the speaking content. It will help your branding to have your own distinctive sound.

Renegade Dentist Dr. Joe Rubino Becomes Global Self-Esteem Expert

Woohoo! Dr. Self Esteem is back!

I was so lucky to be able to interview Dr. Joe Rubino last week for the Daring Dreamers Showcase!

Have you ever had a really big dream…and then dreamed it even bigger?

Dr. Joe has done exactly that! Every time I speak with him, I get so reinspired by what he’s doing – I hope you will be, too.

In my interview with Dr. Joe, who has been helping people regain their confidence and self esteem for over 21 years, you’ll find out how he decided he wasn’t doing enough, and how he got the dream to do more.

You’ll find out what his bigger special dream was, and how it has already helped attract 500 people into his powerful new Self-esteem Certification Program in just 3 weeks!

Dr. Joe used to be a very successful, very unfulfilled dentist! Want to know what he did about that that has helped him start on his path of helping 20 Million people regain their self esteem? Tune in here:  IDareYouRadio.com. You can also find it on iTunes – look for the Daring Dreamers Showcase.

.

Why Do I Charge for My Teleseminars, Audios and Transcripts?

People have said to me, “It’s free for you to give the call, isn’t it? You just show up on the free conference line, right?”

Not hardly! Hah – don’t I wish that was all these is to it! Let’s get real about this.

If you hold teleclasses, you know what goes on behind the scenes. You have to:

  •   take time to find and develop relevant points on a topic that serves your audience
  •   take time to prepare the teleseminar
  •   write copy for your site and email to your list to make sure they know about the call
  •   have your systems in place – some of which are as high as $350 a month – like, conference lines, webinar lines, auto-responders, shopping cart, broadcast email system, list maintenance, product purchase button link creator…
  •   the proper equipment – editing software, mics, etc. –
  •   time (and someone – and $ to pay them) to edit
  •   time to create the final cut
  •   someone to transcribe the audio
  •   time/someone to create the edited pdf from the transcription
  •   a website to post the final audio, transcript and bonuses, if any…

And probably more I can’t think of right off the top of my head. Do it for free? If I did it all for free, I wouldn’t be able to stay in business long enough to do more than a couple of teleclasses. In truth, I really should be charging way more.

But I’m doing my best to make these available to as many people as inexpensively as I can, because I want to help you create your Dream life and unstoppably successful business.

Thanks for asking!

Connie Russert: Psychic, Author

Have you ever had one of those days when you know you’re “supposed” to do something you consider important – and you spend all day doing OTHER things instead?

That’s what I did today – and I’m glad I did!

A couple of weeks ago, I was very fortunate to meet Connie Russert, Psychic, Author of Channeled Messages from A Parallel Universe, who was a very straight, left-brained computer professional and then a college professor who worked with deaf people.

She wrote me and asked if I would allow her to use some of the images from my collection of my artwork at http://Lyon-Art.com in the book she was putting together with some of the channeling she was doing.

After looking at the quality of work she was doing, I said “Yeah!” and even offered to create the pdf for her (us!). So, that’s what I spent this afternoon doing. Good fun.

I have no idea when it will be ready, but you can bet it’s going to be a beaut! You’ll be among the very first to know when it comes out.

AND…in case you wonder about this Connie Russert person, and why I’m so stoked to know her, I thought you’d like to hear her amazing story, so I interviewed her for the Daring Dreamers Showcase.

I invite you to listen in and find out how a very straight, left-brained woman who was once a computer pro, and later on worked at a university as an advocate for deaf people…who was so skeptical it took her five whole years before she believed her channeling was for real…came to be a spiritual channel.

http://IDareYouRadio.com/Connie-Russert-Psychic-Author

Not only does she now channel full-time, but she also channels in ASL on Skype with deaf people! I’d say her transformation was pretty awesome. Going from a nice, comfy university job to an independent channeler? Whew!

WANT TO CHANNEL, TOO? If you have had inklings that you might be a channel, or want to try channeling, you’ll want to listen in. http://IDareYouRadio.com/Connie-Russert-Psychic-Author

SUGGESTED READING: Pick up Connie’s Channeled Messages from A Parallel Universe. I think you’ll enjoy it. here:  http://ToolsforTransformation.com

You also might want to look up this book: Opening to Channeling, by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer. This is the very same book I read years ago when I was taught now to channel – it’s a keeper book, not one of those ones you read and then pass on to the library.

Pamela Bruner, Success Coach Shows How to Get Past Your Fears of Selling and Marketing

HATE SELLING? QUIT IT!

Here’s a great course on how to get past your distaste or fears about selling and/or marketing.

If selling makes you feel like the proverbial used car salesman, hypester or sleaze bag, this is for you: http://PamelaBrunerSuccessSecrets.com

If you don’t let people know about what you do, how on earth will they find you? Word of mouth just ain’t nuff nowadays with so many people competing!

This is the course I’d be doing if I were still teaching: http://PamelaBrunerSuccessSecrets.com

Eliminate Your Sugar and Sweets Cravings – NOW!

Lately I’ve heard from a lot of people who are struggling with sugar. It’s a pretty insidious substance, able to dis-able you with just one grain.

(Ever tried testing the effects of sugar using muscle-testing? No? Get someone to muscle test you both with and without just one grain of sugar on your hand. Or even just think of sugar as you try it! You’ll be really shocked!)

And to make things even worse, high-fructose corn syrup – highly addictive – has entered the food scene. Sometimes I really wonder about the people who invent and put this kind of stuff on the market. (Don’t get me started….)

Since I can’t bear to see you, a beautiful, brilliant soul with so much to give and so much to offer, trapped by sugar and sweets cravings and addictions, I’ve created a full 90-minute tapping session for you so you can on eliminate your addiction to sugar and sweets.

Imagine taking all the money you spend on sweets, and all the time you spend wiped out in sugar crashes, and all the extra weight you’ve put on because of the candies and other sweets you’ve eaten, and simply not doing that anymore.

  • Start thinking about what else you could spend all that money on. Don’t think it’s all that much? Only one candy bar every day adds up – especially if you can’t stop with just one – and add chips, desserts, etc. to that one candy bar!
  • Start considering what you’d do with all that extra time instead of lying on the couch crashed. Only one hour a day – that’s 30 hours a month – that’s 2+ days’ worth of time a month you could use to get things done – and a whole lot easier, too, since your mind isn’t all sugar-crazed!
  • Start thinking how you’ll feel once your body gets back to how it should-oughta look and feel. Even a mere five pounds makes a difference in how you feel and how you feel about yourself.

WHAT’S IN YOUR WAY?
I’ll help you remove whatever blocks you so you can remove the cravings and the extra weight on your body. And we’ll even have fun doing it!

Rachael Jayne Groover: Is Your Voice Sabotaging You?

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?

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?

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.

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

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!

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

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?

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!

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?

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?

Feel free to add your comment / suggestion here.

Do You Make This Critical Website Mistake?

Ms Happy Biz Website Owner

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….

Rachael Jayne Groover on The Daring Dreamers Showcase

I had the very good fortune to be able to interview best-selling author, Rachael Jayne Groover (Founder of The Yin Project) last week on The Daring Dreamers Showcase. I invite you to listen in as she describes how to get grounded in your natural Femininity for more safety, power and presence. It was an eye-opener….(Ever heard of “Womb-Space”?)

And thanks for all your interest in her book, Powerful and Feminine – you helped push it to best-seller status!

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

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

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

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

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.

10 Power Breakthrough Questions

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.

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 –

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

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.
