Greetings,
The first semester of the Marketing for Hippies membership is kicking off on this January with a three-month focus on “The Meantime.”
In the lead up to this, we are running a two-hour webinar to give you a sense of the content we’ll be covering (and some ideas you can use right away whether you join us or not).
The Meantime is one of my original, online programs, that I’ve led since 2010.
The timing doesn’t always work out for everyone, and not everyone who’s interested is sure that it’s a fit, so I decided I would hold a 120-minute webinar where you can learn about the highlights on this program.
This Webinar Might Be A Perfect Fit For You IF:
- You’re a conscious service provider, entrepreneur (e.g. life coach, holistic practitioner, permaculture practitioner).
- You’re in a cash crunch and need money quickly.
- You have a clear sense of who your target markets are.
- You like and trust me and are familiar with my work.
- You’re committed to treating your business like a business (vs. a hobby).
- You’re floundering and feeling like you’re at the end of your rope, and you realize you haven’t been able to figure this out on your own, that you need help and you are willing to receive it.
This Webinar Might NOT Be A Good Fit For You If:
- You’re not really floundering. You’ve already got a solid plan that you trust will work and the only reason it hasn’t is simply due to time. If you already have a solid plan, this program will likely just be a distraction. Much better to just work the plan you already have.
- Your life is already super well organized. If your home and workspace are spacious, clean and uplifting to be in and you can see your desk (or an uncluttered computer desktop) and the bottom of your email inbox is never far out of sight then this program may not be what you need.
- You don’t have a business yet.
- Your primary concern right now is building up your business for the long haul.
- You run a retail business. This program is geared toward service providers and, with a bit of thinking, the cashflow tactics can be adapted to those who sell products. I’d say this program wouldn’t be relevant to retail very much, but for products? It can still work.
What is The Meantime?
There’s a certain time that all of us, at some point or another in our business lives, come to experience. I call it The Meantime.
It’s a moment where you feel like you’re headed directly for a brick wall.
And, as I heard Brian Tracey say once, “Life is full of problems. In life you’re either recovering from a problem, in the midst of one now, or one is coming. But, every once in a while, life gives you a reprieve from your problems. It’s called a crisis.”
And this is The Meantime, a time of crisis.
In business, I define The Meantime as that time when you are in a financial crisis where you need money urgently and, even though you have faith in things to work out in the long term, even though you believe in the strategies and business plan you’ve put together to be sustainable in the future, you aren’t there yet and you ask yourself, “What do I do in the meantime?“
But I call it The Meantime for another reason too.
It feels mean and vicious when you’re in the midst of it.
The Meantime is an unforgiving time where you seem to have to hustle harder than you ever have before. There often seems to be no way to bring in the kind of money you need as quickly as you need it. It can be a time of incredible stress and anxiety. The Meantime is like finding yourself in the midst of a deep winter without enough supplies to make it through and a sense of dread creeps over you as you think, “What am I going to do?“
In This Two Hour Webinar, You Will:
- Learn my four step Meantime process to quickly and directly handling any cashflow crunch you might be facing now and in the future.
- Learn my five favourite, quick cash tactics to get money in the door.
- Learn the top three things you need to do longterm to make sure that you don’t go back to The Meantime again.
- Have a chance to ask me your toughest questions.
“My favourite part of this seminar was the time you actually gave to implement and schedule the tactics. Brilliant.”
“I have been a follower of Tad’s for a long time but haven’t pulled the trigger on getting involved. The Meantime Teleseminar was my first step and I am stoked I stepped in. In fact, I will be signing up for The Meantime in full. In 90 minutes I have some new tools to implement immediately that I feel confident will generate cashflow. Tad, I LOVE your honesty and authentic commitment to the success of others. My favourite part of this seminar was the time you actually gave to implement and schedule the tactics. Brilliant!”

“Thank you Tad! Definitely generated some momentum for me in such a short amount of time. So many practical ideas. Exactly what I needed today.”

"Already landed my first taker on a pay-what-you-want strategy session."
“And BAM. Already landed my first taker on a pay-what-you-want strategy session. What’s it been, two hours since the call ended? How’s that for practical?!?”

“I have some clear next steps and many viable possibilities."
“This teleseminar was so helpful, practical, and authentic!"
“This teleseminar was so helpful, practical, and authentic! I am leaving with some new ideas, some commitments already holding space in my calendar to work on these ideas. It was well worth the money and more!”

"I can’t believe how much clarity I’ve garnered from the Meantime Teleseminar call."
“I can’t believe how much clarity I’ve garnered from the Meantime Teleseminar call. Tad gave us simple but profound tactics that I will absolutely follow through with. Suggestions that I can see will help not just my business, but my life, in general. Thanks, Tad! So worth the time and money!”
Barbara Sinclair, barbarasinclair.com
"I was able to move forward on a crucial step that I have been procrastinating on for months!"
“Thank you Tad. You are one of few professionals I trust to not only deliver on your promises but to exceed my expectations for quality and quantity offered. This teleseminar offered not only valuable tips and actions steps, but you actually gave us the time and loving but firm encouragement to take immediate action while on the call. As a result, I was able to move forward on a crucial step that I have been procrastinating on for months! That alone was worth the price of the call. I’m amazed at how well you balanced delivering valuable content, time for us to work on the steps, and personalized attention and answers to our questions. All without any annoying/pushy sales pitch. I was able to come to the conclusion that I’m not a perfect match for this particular program but I got a ton of value from this call and feel confident that any future program or product you offer will be well worth the price.”

"Actionable steps trump theory, especially in a money crunch. This was the best investment of $25 and 90 minutes I have ever made."
“Spending 90 minutes of focused time being guided in next steps was hugely beneficial. I learned a lot of new info, plus I was reminded of information I had learned before, but had forgotten. I especially liked that Tad had us take time – on the spot – to think through the exercise, and act on it. Actionable steps trump theory, especially in a money crunch. This was the best investment of $25 and 90 minutes I have ever made. I feel energized; thank you!”
Kristin Sawyer
"This wasn’t just an information dump with a blessing to go forward."
“The Meantime preview call was oh-so-very-helpful. Tad, you provided concrete strategies that I could apply immediately! Thank you for creating the space during the call to brainstorm, journal, and reach out to people for help. This wasn’t just an information dump with a blessing to go forward. I felt an internal shift occur within 90-minutes and a feeling of lightness and opening to possibilities whereas before the call it felt heavy and restricted.”

"I discovered all I needed to do is ask and got positive responses within minutes."
“Just finished up with Tad’s 90 minute Meantime class – I cannot believe how much I got from this hour and a half. I decided to take this mini-class as a refresher from the Meantime Fall 2015 class I took and so glad I did. Since developing my niche market (holistic heart health from the heart healer) in Tad’s Niching Spiral Homestudy Beta Program last month, I realized there were so many more ways to get going on some of the 10 tactics Tad discussed. In just one of the on-the-spot 5-minute exercises he had us do forced me to simply text requests for much needed help. In just doing this little thing, I discovered all I needed to do is ask and got positive responses within minutes. This and so much more. I know from experience Tad’s 30-day course for The Meantime is packed to the brim with great ideas to get moving and make some quick cash. Last fall, I earned an extra $1500 just from doing two things he suggested in the 30-day period. Wonderful stuff – Tad, I can’t say thank-you enough for making marketing fun again and helping me grow my business in a kind, compassionate way.”

"The most valuable take-away for me is to be able to see my business with new eyes..."
“I loved The Meantime Teleseminar. I joined it because I was frustrated about how I could bring some money in quickly in a slow month and I found the teleseminar really eye-opening! Tad gave me a lot of great ideas, helped me to commit to ask for help and stop doing everything alone. But above all, it made me reflect on some aspects of my business that I had never taken into account! The most valuable take-away for me is to be able to see my business with new eyes, release the tension and act fast on what can make a difference. Thanks Tad for another super insightful moment!”
Diana Malerba, Confidence Coach, thebravehearted.ch
"Your guidance is clear, tangible and actionable, right this moment."
“Thank you Tad for a practical, interactive, engaging 90 minute session. I walked away with some real value and can see all you shared being an integrated part of everything I do moving forward, not just the immediate short term. Your guidance is clear, tangible and actionable, right this moment. Great value, absolutely worth the time and investment.”

"Tad is a wizard at connecting us with what can actually make that follow-through happen."
“This teleseminar was just what I needed to plug myself back into concrete no-fuss strategies to blast me out of stuckness and isolation. I’m a long-time reflexologist who wants to keep having my practice but also wants to generate income with my creativity. In 90 minutes, I had three AHA moments, asked for specific help from four people and remembered ideas which were just waiting for my follow-through so that I can generate income, starting now! Tad is a wizard at connecting us with what can actually make that follow-through happen. His rock-solid tactics always come with encouragement, humanness and honesty. I finished the call with a quiet decision to once again take myself completely seriously.”
Pamela Russell
"I feel a lot of clarity and have several actions that I’ve already scheduled for this week and next."
“Thanks Tad! As usual, you give such great value. This tele-seminar helped me refocus on a few items I’d been leaving on the back burner but really ought to be priorities. I feel a lot of clarity and have several actions that I’ve already scheduled for this week and next. Absolutely worth my time and investment. Thanks again!”
Rebecca Llewellyn
"Tad is very sophisticated in his understanding of people and their proces."
“This was such a great teleseminar! Tad is very sophisticated in his understanding of people and their process (this matters to me as I am a psychologist!). He has a bias toward action and encouraged/insisted that we use our time on the call to move forward. So very necessary and helpful.”
Nancy Jonker
“This was very useful seminar for someone who is just starting out with her niche."
“This was very useful seminar for someone who is just starting out with her niche. I found suggestions for the immediate future and for long term, including encouraging us to find support, creating actions, and simple cash flow tactics. it was well worth the money.”

"So much information in 90 minutes. Best $25 I spent in a long time.”
“The teleseminar was very informative. It reminded me to take action right now, and to schedule time for marketing instead of working on it whenever I remember. I learned that it is ok to ask for help. Tad is a great presenter. So much information in 90 minutes. Best $25 I spent in a long time.”
Kristin Schwarz
"Packed with incredibly relevant content and is a rare mix of refined strategic thinking, encouragement, wisdom and heart brightening understanding."
“Amazing! Before the call today my business brain was seriously fog boggled and my morale felt low and soggy. The call brought clarity and new steps I want to do to move my business forward in the next 30 days. This teleseminar is packed with incredibly relevant content and is a rare mix of refined strategic thinking, encouragement, wisdom and heart brightening understanding. Tad clearly ‘gets’ the frustration and confusion of being in ‘the meantime’ – he also definitely knows about creating income fast while keeping one’s integrity and sanity intact. I’m back in action – big time. Thank you so much Tad.”
Mary MacGillivray
Wow! I got so much more than I thought I would!"
“I took this teleseminar because I’m not able to take take the full course right now, thinking I would at least get a general idea of Tad’s approach. Wow! I got so much more than I thought I would! Great ideas and a very holistic approach — addressing how to tune up my own energy and focus, as well as my business’ energy and focus. I so appreciated his personal feedback and suggestions, as well as being able to see other participants’ ideas and concerns. Just a little of Tad goes a long way.”
