  Module 1: The Power of WHY

  In this module we create the foundation for the next 3 months by asking one question: WHY?  Companies that are clear on their ‘why’, their mission and values, consistently outperform those that do not.   Gain clarity on your best direction for business by discovering what you love to do, your best talents and the people you feel called to serve.  (For those of you who have too many business ideas and are paralyzed trying to figure out which to pick, this is a game-changer!)

  Module 2: Niche Clarity and Market Research

  Once you know your WHY the next step is understanding the WHO.   Bigger isn’t necessarily better- the more you can zone in on your niche the more effective you’ll be in business.  Getting crystal clear on who want to serve will take the guesswork out of everything that follows.  In this module you’ll discover your niche and begin to do market research to learn more about your target audience and how your business can be the perfect solution to their problems.

  Module 3: The Mind of a Business Owner

  It is a common human phenomenon to think that if we DO more than we will have more.  However the latest findings of brain science show that what is really at the source of our success is MINDSET: your thoughts and beliefs.  Leading companies innovate and know how to ‘fail fast’ to avoid losses and accelerate gains.  Most failures are the result of self-imposed limits on creative thinking.  Learn what to expect-in advance-when you become self-employed and how to overcome fear and self-doubt so you can face any challenge with confidence.

  Module 4: Creating a 'WOW' Product

  The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is they spend hours and months to develop their product or service just to find out that there is no demand for it.   This is where finding your WHY and understanding the WHO makes the WHAT very easy.  Once your target audience has told you exactly what their challenges are and you provide the solution (using your authentic and unique talents), you develop a WOW product that is an EASY YES.  It takes the slime out of sales and the frustration out of marketing because every aspect of your business is about being in service.

  Module 5: Time Management & Productivity

  Having your own business can mean wearing multiple hats at first.  Overwhelm, burn-out and stress are frequent bi-products of poor time management and planning.   By understanding how our brain works best, you can use science to improve productivity and get more done in less time.  Learn how to prioritize income-generating activities, when to outsource, and how to maintain work-life balance as you build your business.

  Module 6: Partners and Product Launch

  You have the WHY, the WHO and the WHAT.   Now it is time to make money.  This last module helps you develop a step-by-step action plan so you no longer have to doubt your next move.  Learn the exact technique used by genius Albert Einstien to help you brainstorm about the best way to launch your product into your communities, find partnerships, and build a referral base so you can start to generate income in the next few months (not the next few years).

• Q.How much of a time commitment does this program require?

  A.Given most of my clients still work part-time or full-time in another job, I’ve designed this program to work around full schedules.  The intention is that you have two weeks in between each module to complete your assignments which can be done in less than 5 hours a week.  Group calls have a regular scheduled time but if you miss a live group coaching call, all sessions are recorded so that you can catch up at your own pace.

• Q.I'm excited to start. When does the program begin?

  A.The program is currently on a rolling basis so you can begin anytime.  As soon as you say ‘YES’ you can get started on the first video and join our next group call.

• Q.There are a lot of coaches and programs out there, how can I be sure you are the right one for me?

  A.This is such an important question.  Finding a coach that is the right fit is crucial to your success.    I am highly qualified not only for my experience, but also my credentials.  I studied what I do for a very long time in university (with my MA, 7 years to be exact), took many exams and state boards, and spent thousands of direct client hours JUST to get my art therapy license.  And in the past 10 years, I’ve coached thousands of individuals who have gone to build profitable and fulfilling businesses.  In the end though, ask yourself “Does this feel good to me?”  Your gut usually can tell you who to trust.

• Q.Given you are an art therapist, is this therapy?

  A.One could call me a therapist for entrepreneurs (wink) but short answer: no, this isn’t therapy.  My programs are based off the latest research in brain science and designed in a particular way that is proven to create impactful results for ANYONE.  No artistic talent is required and yet I promise you will discover an “artist” inside of you that you didn’t know existed.  I do find that the clients that are the most open to new methodologies and do all the recommended exercises completely have the biggest success.  Finally, although I draw from my experience as an art therapist and especially my knowledge of psychology, my coaching programs are very different from therapy and are not meant to replace appropriate mental health care.

• Q.If I fall behind and can't complete the program in 90 days, can I still get call support?

  A.Yes.  Life happens.   In fact, I’m secretly hoping you’ll love our community so much that you won’t want to leave.  If you want to have continued access to our group calls for support after the 90 day expiration date, there is an affordable option to become a monthly member.

• Q.Do you offer a guarantee?

  A.Yes.  I stand behind the value of what I teach.  I know it works because everything I offer in this program are the same techniques I use.  If you show up to the calls, and do the assignments as designed and don’t make your investment back in 4 months, I’ll refund your money.  But no one has ever asked for a refund- I think that is a good sign.  🙂

• Q.How does the group support work?

  A.You will have a total of 6 hour long group calls to get live coaching and feedback.  There are two options for calls:  12pm PST (great for our Europe friends!) or 5pm PST on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month.   If you miss a call, they are recorded and available in your online portal the next day.  You can always submit a question in advance via email and I will answer it live on the call.

• Q.I don't have clarity on my business idea yet- is this course for me?

  A.YES!  In fact you will have an advantage because many entrepreneurs struggle as a result of not doing this foundational work.  You will get clear on what to focus on in the very first Module when you discover your WHY!   Plus you will have the group calls to further hone in on the perfect business model to match your authentic, aligned self.

• Q.Once I have my 'WOW' product, does this course teach me how to find clients?

  A.You bet it does.  🙂  My intention is that you have all the tools to land your first high-paying client ($1000 or more) by the end of the program.  Many participants of this course find their first clients from their market research in Module 2!  In the last 30 days, you will launch your fine-tuned product and I’ll bring you through a powerful exercise that Albert Einstein used to brainstorm all the many ways to get new clients FAST.

• Q.Your payment plan is still a stretch for me- do you have any other financing options?

  A.I normally don’t but I have some recommendations.  I find that when we look hard enough- there is always a way to make it work.  You can look into a small business loan from your bank, a new credit card, alternate loan sources like Prosper, or look into the Paypal credit plan where you can enjoy 6 months of NO payments (which means that if you use my program the way it is designed, you could take it for free, land a new client and pay back your loan before your first payment is due).
