Crystal Clear: Five Simple & Proven Ways to Describe What You Do So That People Get it (Even if it Seems Hopeless)
$40.00Add to cartOver the years, I have heard the following sentiment from a good chunk of my clients. “How the f#@* do I articulate what I do?!” Is this you? After you tell someone (who you genuinely think you could help) what you do they often say things like, “wow. that’s really interesting . . . say . . . I’ve got to get some punch . . .” You can tell that, the more you talk about what you do, the more you lose them. When you’re talking with someone you know you could help, you can just tell that they aren’t ‘getting it’. You have a strong sense that they way you’re describing what you do now (in person or in your marketing materials) isn’t as strong, compelling or clear as it could be.

22 Myths About Building Your Practice: Learn Almost Two Dozen Ways You Might Be Unwittingly Sabotaging Your Own Success
$20.00Add to cartThis 53 page ebook delves deep into what I see as the 22 most pervasive and limiting myths that holistic practitioners, life coaches and permaculture folks often come to believe. This is my belief: most practitioners fail not because it’s inevitable, but because they believe certain myths about building their practice. They are like lenses or filters they look through that colour everything. When I say ‘myth’ I mean the assumptions that most practitioners operate under about what is normal and what is possible. These myths determine what they do and don’t do in their marketing.

The Niching Nest
$20.00Add to cartInsights, Strategies and Unconventional Wisdom to Help You Find Comfort and Clarity in Your Niching Journey. Why this book? Because niching is hard. The two qualities I have found that seem to characterize the whole process of niching for most people are confusion and discomfort. Many people have been struggling with this question of ‘What is my niche?‘ for years. And it can be immensely painful. The Niching Nest starts with an understanding of niching that is not common: that your niche is not simply your brand or target market but your role in the community.

Don’t Market Yourself: Market Your Message
$20.00Add to cartIf you have a business, you are going to be known for something. It’s inevitable. The question is this: will you be known for the right things and will your reputation bring you the kinds of clients you want? It might take you a while to find your message. And, in the process, you’ll likely come to find that, even though your business may be guided by one particular overall message, that it contains many messages nested within it like eggs in a bird’s nest, or treasure in a treasure chest. Or maybe it’s more that your core message is a tapestry seen from a distance but, as you get closer you can see the individual threads.
