“I believe we have a responsibility to let people know where there’s help and hope available for them. The passion, energy, integrity and humor in Marketing 101 reminds me that that is entirely possible. Tad, you’re a marvel and an inspiration. I couldn’t possibly put a value on this content. It’s priceless.”

What’s You Get in This Program:

• Two and a Half Hours of Video to Watch: You will be expected to watch this video in full before the program begins. This is a video which I sell for $80 on my site but it’s included in this program for free. Watching this is mandatory. It contains all of the content you’ll be exploring in more depth over the four weeks. I won’t be spending any time covering this content during the calls because I will assume you’ve already dug into the video.

In the grounding video, you will:

• learn 5 reasons why marketing matters in making the world be a better place (so you don’t see marketing as just a selfish act).

• get a lucid and simple answer to the question, “why does marketing feel bad?“ (so you can make sure your marketing never does).

• learn about the dynamics of Posturing, Collapsing & Composure (which may help you see the exact dynamic that’s keeping you stuck – you may have never noticed this before).

• hear about the concept of “polarizing” in marketing (and how how being extremely real, honest and vulnerable can get you more of the kinds of clients you’re craving).

• learn about the three kinds of prospectors. Every potential client you will ever meet fits into one of these three categories. Each of them requires an entirely different strategy. Learning this will let you know exactly what you need to do with each person you meet and avoid any manipulative tactics of any kind.

• get to explore the three roles of marketing. Most people think that marketing has only one role: to get people to say, ‘yes’. I disagree with this. Understanding these three roles is like hooking up a flawless diagnostic machine to all of your marketing that can pin point exactly where your issues are and what to do about them. It will also free you from the need to use any sort of approach to marketing that could feel even slightly bad to anyone (including you). 

• learn the three core elements of your marketing strategy. Whenever I look at any business it is always through the lense of these three pieces. When these three pieces are in place, you attract clients without a lot of extra fuss and good vibes for everyone. When these three pieces aren’t in place, everything is a struggle. 

• learn about the notion of establishing your container so that you can make sure your business is safe to approach (an unappreciated concept in the world of marketing) but is also sustainable for you. 

• learn about how to use the idea of paths to make it incredibly easy for your ideal clients to find you (so you can stop working so hard trying to find them)

• finally understand why marketing has been so hard when you learn the three levels of marketing (and how so many of the marketing courses out there focus only on the first of the three levels). 

• get three simple strategies for identifying and connecting with your hubs (and learn why this is the most important thing that anyone could do to attract more of the quality of clients that you want). 

• learn the seven things your business can be known for (most entrepreneurs only ever focus on one of these seven). This is a conversation that digs deep into the notions of branding and identity.

• Access to a Private and Very Interactive Facebook Group: This Facebook group is where the lion’s share of the work will happen. As we’re together as a group on the conference call line, I’ll be posing questions to you in the Facebook group and inviting you to respond to them so that we can all join in on the same conversation. I’ll be asking you for your toughest questions and you’ll type them in there where I will read them out and answer them over the phone. 

• Four Group Coaching Calls: The bulk of our work will be happening during our 90 minute calls together. Each week will have a theme. Each call will contain a five minute recap of the content (again, assuming you’ve watched the video) followed by interactive exercises to help you integrate it into your business and see how and where it applies to you.  
•  
  • Week One: Your Platform – In this week, you’ll be digging into the seven key things you can be known for.  This is the conversation around branding, business identity, reputation etc. 
  • Week Two: Your Container – In this week, you’ll have a chance to explore the structure of your business. You’ll see where you’re strong and where you’re weak. And you’ll
    explore how you can make your business a clearer representation of your platform.
  • Week Three: Your Paths – In this week, you’ll dig into the question of the strategies and tactics behind marketing. You’ll be learning how to make it easy, if not inevitable for your ideal clients to find you.
  • Week Four: Open Call – The format of this call will be 100% question and answer based on addressing where you are feeling most stuck in moving forward. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the Marketing for Hippies video Set. Tad is honest, funny, transparent and real. This kind of delivery is refreshing to watch and because it is so enjoyable, the information “sticks” more. I can recommend it to everyone looking to ethically boost the reach of their business.

This Workshop Might Be a Fit for You If:

• You’ve always wanted to come to one of my workshops but have never been able to.

• Marketing feels gross, pushy, awkward and unnatural to you and you are curious about why that is.

• Your current approach to marketing doesn’t seem to be effective . . . and you have no idea why.

• You are a conscious entrepreneur (eg you are selling a natural, eco-friendly, cruelty-free or otherwise healthy product or you’re in the Healing Arts or are a Holistic Practitioner (perhaps you’re a Therapist, Massage Therapist or Body-worker, Yoga Instructor, Herbalist, Shamanic Practitioner, Life-Coach, Meditation Teacher etc.). Or you’re a local business owner that just plain cares deeply about your community, nature and social justice. Maybe you run a Yoga Studio, an Eco-Friendly House Cleaning company, an Organic Farm, a local Theatre Company, a Fitness Studio, a comfy, little locally owned Bookstore, a groovy local Restaurant, an Eco-Store, a Pottery shop or a Natural Health-Food Store etc.). Or you’re running some sort of permaculture-based business.

• You like the idea that marketing could actually feel good (even if you can’t imagine how).  You’re drawn to the question: “How can I sell my products and services without selling my soul?”

• You want to market your products without compromising your principles? How can you make sure your marketing gets a positive response and creates warm feelings of trust? Better yet — how do you have your ideal client approaching you, instead of you chasing them?

This Workshop Might Not Be a Fit for You If:

• You’re not willing to do the pre-work of watching the video.

• You’re not on Facebook (most of our work will be happening there).
