Have You Ever Thought About How You Can do Joint Ventures “Offline”?

Teleseminars and Joint Ventures are great ways to market your business on the Internet.

But have you ever thought about leveraging those same ideas and activating your ability to do an in-person seminar and have the same great success?

This is yet another marketing channel for you to easily and effortlessly connect to your ideal clients and be a huge revenue producer.

What makes this process so easy is that the principles and formula for the Internet campaign are the same for the in-person seminar.

You get to discover Joint Venture folks who are on-fire to promote your work, as well as give gifts from them to your ideal clients so that you are also promoting them.

This is the essence of the energy exchange.

Connecting with your ideal clients in person this way can actually be easier than something like a teleseminar, because you are really able to tap their different senses.

Awhile back I made a decision to create my own in-person workshop to identify and address a gap that I had in my own life.  I then attracted the “right” business partner and together we created products and services to support others who also experienced this same gap in their lives.

As a busy mother of a young child, I often found myself doing what I called the “five o’clock freezer stare” when it came time to figuring out what to serve my family for dinner after a long day.

I just knew that others shared that feeling of lack of time and energy to cook as well as concern for wanting good, nutritional meals for the family. Therefore, Heavenly Meals was born.

This business was born out of my gap and I was looking for people to support who felt just like me.

For the Heavenly Meals Workshop, I didn’t do any fee-based advertising in the newspapers – it was all Joint Ventures.  My business partner and I ended up having over 100 people at the workshop.

You can always do advertising if you feel led – just remember that Joint Ventures don’t cost you anything, or very little.  And they give you great local connections!

You can keep costs at a minimum and do customized mailers.   I opted to write the copy for the Joint Venture partners to give them an example of an endorsement and just let them sign their name to it.

I simply told them, “I’ll write it for you and you can tweak it to make it personalized from you, but I’ll set everything up to make it totally easy for you.”

In terms of hosting, you can also offer the opportunity that someone hosts your promotional workshop and get 20% of all revenue in return as their referral fee.

I did this for that workshop, and then went out to look for folks for their goody-bag stuff.

So, I did:

• Marketing first to get Joint Venture partners
• Created all the promotional copy that was then sent out to potential ideal clients
• Handled all the logistical set-up
• And wrote the script for the workshop

If this seems like something that is intimidating or overwhelming, remember to always begin any project at an inner level.  Manage your energy around it before taking ANY action.

Before you begin to put together the documents, formulas and outlines that you will need, take an opportunity to activate your connection to Spirit about this workshop approach.  You can use the following Activation Exercise for this purpose: Read more

What Are Some of the Qualities You Will Need to be Successful in Affiliate Marketing?

If you’re a Spiritualpreneur, you’re probably not comfortable with the idea of being just a passenger on the ship of life.

You would rather take your destiny into your own hands then continue to be tossed on the waves of what is going on around you!

You have the desire of maneuvering the ship yourself and being able to take it anywhere you want to.

Being onboard a ship that is on its way to a particularly great destination is something you dream of, and the knowledge that you do have the capacity to steer it yourself is what empowers you to achieve your dream!

One of the ways that you can take your destiny into your own hands is through financial freedom.  I believe that all Spiritualpreneurs should be financially free, and that there are incredible opportunities out there for those that are looking!

If you are looking for ways to achieve this in your life through a second income stream, you should really consider affiliate marketing.

In this business, there are no bosses to order tell you what to do.  There are no deadlines to meet and no clutter.  When you are equipped with the tools you need to succeed in this business, you are bound to get what your heart ultimately desires.

So, what are some of the things you need to be able to succeed in affiliate marketing?

While there is a lot of competition involved in affiliate marketing, you can rise above the norm when you are equipped with just the right stuff necessary to propel you forward!

I recommend that you begin with these 5 steps that will enable you to stand out among the rest. Read more

What Does Managing Your Spiritual Energy Have to do With Your Success in Business?

When I talk about managing spiritual energy, it is the idea that your thoughts, feelings, words and actions have an associated electrical frequency.

It has not been the conventional wisdom that what is happening in your outer experience has anything whatsoever to do with where you are focusing your thoughts, or where your beliefs are.

But there is a direct correlation between where I’m focusing the energy of my thoughts and beliefs and what happens in the world around me.

Often the most powerful beliefs will stem from your childhood. Perhaps you have the belief that, “work is a struggle”, because you saw that in your childhood.

You may not say it or think you think it, but this unconscious belief is a powerful aspect of your energy, and you will recreate it in your actions.

You are literally going to create experiences that cause this belief to show up as true for you. Read more

Why is Network Marketing a Good Option for Spiritualpreneurs?

I am absolutely passionate about the idea that everyone in the world needs to be a coach – if nothing else, then at least a coach for themselves.

I believe the world of business, and really, the world overall would be an incredibly transformed place if people were able to self-coach.

This comes back to the business of being more conscious about your relationship with yourself, of how what you do is so strongly influenced by what you believe.

It is a matter of looking at the inner and the outer, the yin and the yang, coming together.

I see it happening in more and more business organizations where people are wanting to be trained in how to be more coach-like in their interactions with others.

It’s what comes to the fore, for example, when dealing with improving employee morale or building effective teams.

If more network marketers could activate that self-coaching ability in themselves and assist others in their organization to do the same, it would have a huge impact on the business! Read more

Did You Know That Joint Venture & Relationship Marketing Makes Business More Fun?

When you take a look at the trends in business today, you can see that even big corporations are starting to collaborate with each other.

PricewaterhouseCoopers interviewed the top 50 private companies and asked what has made the biggest difference in their growth.

Their answer?

Joint Venture and collaboration. These companies said that collaboration was critical to achieving their objectives – they made trillions through Joint Ventures!

What’s that about?!

They used to be competitors, and now they’re saying, “Hey, maybe it would be a good idea for us to join together.”

This is a complete shift of the human consciousness.

When you look at such best-selling books as Conversations With God, and then look at what the popular business books are, you see that people are buying a lot of business books with a spiritual basis.

They may call it all sorts of other things, but when you come right down to it, this genre of business books is all about the fact that everyone is connected, and it opens the possibility for everyone to come together and connect in an even more powerful way.

There are now an abundance of ways to conduct business from a place of integrity and collaboration, where both all the individuals within the organization and those on the other side of the table (the customers or clients) feel valued. Read more

When You Think of the Words Spirituality and Entrepreneur Together, What Comes to Mind?

Let me guess -  somebody walking around in la la land?

It’s getting awfully woo-woo and airy-fairy around here – right?

Not exactly.

Don’t let the touchy-feely implications fool you. As an entrepreneur, I am a rubber-meets-the-road, performance and productivity stickler!

When I left the corporate world, I traded in my MBO (Management By Objectives) for MYE (Managing Your Energy) because it gets more, better and faster results.

As it happens, it is also much more fun, along with being a better, more wholesome and satisfying way to live!

I did my time in corporate America as a high-powered business executive. Today, I’m coaching my former colleagues (for $500 an hour and up!) on how to explode their businesses and income by activating the spiritual energy of their thoughts, feelings and actions.

Spirituality and business have long been held as fragmented: there was spirituality, and there was business.
Today, I see the two starting to come together.

People are getting out of the box of seeing spirituality purely as religiosity, and are seeing it more as being conscious in terms of how their being in the world impacts all aspects of their lives.

It’s no longer a matter of being one person at home, another person in church and still another person in business. I see a blending happening, which is very encouraging!

I’ll often see the head of the corporation, a very senior executive, or a powerful entrepreneur who is himself on a path of personal growth, reading spiritually related books and wondering, “How do I put this into place in our organization?”

These people are already implementing the tools or processes from various philosophies or personal growth books and are seeing them make positive changes in their own lives – helping them see things in a new way and have different kinds of experiences.

They want the same thing for their organizations, and simply don’t know how to do it.

In some cases, the people who come to see me are simply looking for a way to help their people be more empowered. I help people activate their ability to self-coach – I call it “connecting with your inner coach.”

This means learning skills that are going to make people more effective team players, whether in the organization or in their home, so companies can readily see the value of it.

It’s similar to when “stress management” was the big thing in corporations; in the 80′s, everybody wanted to do stress management. Read more

Are You an Entrepreneur Who Wants to Build & Expand Your Business in a New Way?

When I was working in sales in the corporate world, I was very good at what I did.  I rose to the top of the company, and I was asked to train others in my skills as well.

But I wasn’t happy.  I felt like I was selling my soul for a paycheck!

I wanted something different…

If you’re a Spiritualpreneur like I am, you want more in your life.

You want health, balance, and a greater sense of collaboration and connection in your work.

The way to achieving this?  I discovered when I left my corporate career that it is all about using an Inner and Outer approach as an entrepreneur.

If you:

• Want to operate on a conscious level by bringing enduring transformation into the world
• Read books and watch movies that introduce you to spiritual universal principles
• Want to learn how to attract more of what you want
• Want to have more power within you and a vision of a business that fits you

You are ready to embark on an entrepreneur journey that will not only let you feel good about what you are doing with your business, but that will actually recession-proof your business as well!

Many of you want to apply these principles in your business, but don’t know how.

You feel that the old ways of doing things don’t support you.  The old ways of doing business and marketing by selling with hype and bullying people into taking action doesn’t feel good to you.

Maybe you even think that something is wrong with you since you feel that resistance! Read more

As an Entrepreneur in 2009, Will You be Part of the Change?

“I come from a very practical and analytical background and thus evaluated your approach with great scrutiny.

“Business action coupled with spiritual principles catapults participants to a very powerful level of prosperity and well being. How fantastic for those who have you in their corner. Priceless!”

- Joanne Roibu, Founder www.LifeMasteryGuide.com

At Coaching From Spirit during this inspiring year of 2009, everything I do this year is going to be like a Reality-TV show.

As you can see from what Joanne has to say, this is all about a process that can be observed, tested, and found true, and that is what I want to offer you this year as an entrepreneur.

I am excited to have you be a part of the Spiritualpreneurs journey this year – I want to show you what worked, what didn’t work, the tools I used and how they were used.

As an entrepreneur, you are your own case study.

President Obama says, “Be part of the change.” At Coaching From Spirit, I have made a commitment to being part of the change, and I invite you to come along on this journey and be a part of it all with me.

I believe that part of world transformation is to help Spiritualpreneurs become financially free, and I can show you how to do that! Read more
