How can I guarantee your success? Don't take my word for it. Read what satisfied clients have to say… |
"Your definition of success influences every other decision in your life." -Robert Holden Think about that for a minute. That's a really powerful statement. Especially if you don't have a clear idea of what success means to you. It could lead to lots of bad decisions and utter confusion and chaos! The same is true for a vision for your business and life. I coach clients all the time about what their ideal life and business looks like. How are you impacting the world? What do you want your legacy to be? What kinds of people are you interacting with on a daily basis? Are you meeting your needs and values? Is your heart full at the end of the day? If you don't already have a definition of success, you need one. If you do already have a definition of success, perhaps it could use some refining- or simply attention. Successful people spend lots of time planning, thinking, goal setting and connecting. They don't just sit around and wait for good things to happen. They go out and make things happen. And one thing successful people do is ask for help. They hire good people. They get mentored. They read a lot! They study from others who have life and business experience that they want to emulate. This is why people work with life and business coaches. This is why the coaching profession has exploded in the last decade. SUCCESS IS AN INSIDE JOB. You have to do your inner work and your outer work to be successful. This program can help you do both. |
Essential Building Blocks for Inspired Entrepreneurs Here's an overview of some of the key foundational elements we'll be covering in the program… #1 Big Picture - we'll do some assessment, goal setting, visioning and dreaming #2 Self Review - we'll define success (your own personal definition!) and help you understand your strengths and uncover core beliefs and habits #3 Business Review - we'll look at your mission and vision, your ideal customers and talk about marketing strategies that work and those that don't #4 Systems Demystified - we'll look at how the systems in your business are helping or hurting you and you'll understand the critical difference #5 Conscious Community - we'll help you increase your network which will lead to an increase in your net worth #6 Success Secrets - we'll help you amp it up even more by looking at key factors that will enhance and enrich your overall life and business experience |
I can help you get inspired to create the business and life of your dreams! Because I've been there. I've had a lot of life experiences that you may have too. I've been unhappy, unfulfilled, working too hard and not living life to the fullest. I took the leap and left a great salary and clear career path to open my own business. I was a struggling business owner at the beginning, wondering if I could pay my rent each month. I've had major health challenges, been married twice, divorced once, I've had a parent die. I reunited with my birth family in 1999 and gained 11 brothers and sisters and a whole new family! I've lived in 8 cities in 18 years. I've had my fair share of transition in life. I know what it's like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, scared and nervous. I also know what it's like to have that fire in your belly and know that you're onto something big and good but just need help to make it happen! I started my coaching business during a very difficult time in my life. I had just gotten divorced and moved to a new city where I had only one friend. I had very little savings and left my high paying job, beautiful home and good friends behind because I knew I needed a complete life change. People called me courageous to make such a big leap. I felt a little crazy, but looking back, I was really just trusting my intuition. I made a very important decision. I decided to become a successful coach. I gave myself one year. If I could be fully supporting myself within one year’s time working as a life & business coach, then hooray. If not, then I would return to the “stability” of the world of academic administration. Making that decision proved to be pivotal in my life. I knew I didn’t want to return to work that wasn’t fulfilling. I had discovered coaching and knew it was my calling. Eight years later, I am thrilled to say that I live the life of my dreams. And I owe it all to coaching. Becoming a coach, yes. But more importantly BEING COACHED. The experience helped me to get to know my true self and helped me to see the parts of my life that I was too scared to look at by myself. With the support and encouragement of my coaches, I was able to step out of the darkness and into the light. |
The Value of the Program Another benefit of group coaching is the very affordable cost. Face it, with the economy the way it is, everybody is watching their purse strings more closely. Perhaps you've considered working with a business coach one-on-one before but decided against it due to budget constraints. Now, with a group coaching program, you can get the support, expertise, guidance, suggestions and resources that a professional coach can provide for a fraction of the cost. You'll see just how affordable it really is and the return on investment is huge! Individual clients pay between $3,000 and $7,000 per year for my coaching services. They do it because they get results. They make more money. They attract more clients. They have a blast with their work because they learn to focus on what they love and to delegate or delete the rest. And they get results on a daily basis. This program is being offered at an incredibly affordable rate. Don't worry, it's not $7,000 and it's not even $3,000. For six months of group coaching (that's 18 hours of live training with me plus unlimited e-mail support, tons of resources, mastermind groups and more), the cost is only $199/month. And for a limited time, it's being offered at $149/month so hurry and apply now! |

Before you submit your application, take a few minutes and ask yourself the following questions: Do you meet these six essential criteria? 1. Do you believe that it's possible to be successful with your chosen business? If you are optimistic and hopeful, it's absolutely possible for you to succeed. Attitude is everything! You may not know all the "hows" but that's OK! If you believe in yourself and in the work you are doing, the sky's the limit! 2. Are you WILLING and READY to take inspired ACTION? It's not enough to think about having a profitable business or set your intentions to make it so. You have to DO something every single day to build a thriving business. 3. Are you open to LEARNING? Any successful business owner knows it's critical to learn new things all the time. Through exchanging ideas, reading books and articles, researching the competition, studying from your mentors. (These first three criteria are a MUST. But there are three more that - if you meet them - will set you up for a running start in this program.) Here they are: 4. You are an established business owner. Whether you own a building and have several employees or you are working from a home office, you can confidently say that you have a business, you own a company or you are an entrepreneur. Your business is beyond the "idea" stage and you're actively seeking and serving clients and customers. 5. You have the time to commit to building your business. So often people say they want to grow their business but then they don't take the time necessary to do what needs to be done! You've got to be willing to commit the time and energy ( a few hours a week) to work ON your business, not just IN it. 6. You have a data base of your clients and prospects. It's important to keep in touch with your past, current and future clients to maintain the relationship. If you already have a list, I'll help you brainstorm the best ways to connect with your audience on a regular basis. We'll find the right fit for you (ezine, blog, marketing letters, information sessions, phone calls, etc). |

The Power of the Group The synergy created by a group is powerful beyond measure. Every time I lead a group, I witness connections made, friendships formed, business conducted. I see people helping each other and in doing that, get inspired themselves. I love how one person's inspired action creates a ripple effect and everyone else says "oooh! Let's do that too!" and suddenly everyone has creative motion where before there was stagnation. When you bring like-minded people together in pursuit of dreams, supporting and encouraging each other every step of the way, well, it's like tapping into a rich vein of gold! As we move into the year 2009, the energy is shifting on the planet. People are waking up and embracing cooperation and collaboration as the best way to do business. They’re letting go of the old paradigm of competition and shifting from “me to we." It's a powerful dynamic that has wonderful benefits. When you work in a group you get more support, more ideas, more resources, more accountability, more inspiration! Participating in a group coaching program helps you make lasting changes, one step at a time. That’s why this program is six months- short enough to stay fresh and bold, long enough to support you in making significant changes in your business and your life. |
"When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life." -Greg Anderson I have created this group coaching program because I want to help more people succeed in creating the lives and businesses of their dreams! The joy and freedom of self-employment, being your own boss, calling all the shots... it's intoxicating! I love it and I think that anyone who has an entrepreneurial spirit should follow their heart. I believe it's possible to achieve anything we want to in life. In the past 8 years, I’ve spend thousands of hours coaching people in groups, in workshops, individually, on retreats. I’ve learned that people are hungry for structure and accountability. They are craving community and celebration. And they’re ready to get results and they often need support in taking the first step, in following through, in believing that their dreams are, indeed, possible! So whether you’ve already taken the first step and you’ve been in business for a while or if you are in the early stages of getting your business off the ground, I’d love to support you and celebrate you as you climb the staircase! It doesn’t matter if you’re a solopreneur working from home, if you have a big office with several employees or if you’re still working a full-time job and doing your business on nights and weekends. What matters is that you’re committed to being an entrepreneur and that you’re tired of being tired. You’re ready to get inspired and make your business flow more effortlessly and easily. |
So what decision are YOU ready to make in your life? |
I have a thriving career doing work I love. My salary increases every year. I'm in a great marriage with a partner who loves and accepts me for who I am. I work from home and have the flexibility and freedom of doing my own thing. Life is great! |
"Through your coaching, I've remembered how important it is to be REAL, in business and life. By letting my true enthusiasm and passions shine through, I've seen results much quicker and made many more connections. In my first six months of business, I've nearly tripled my revenue and client base. Thank you Elizabeth, for helping me be brave and to believe fully in myself and my talents. And thank you for showing me ALL THE VARIABLES when I ALMOST fell for that real job again (yea- YUCK!) I'm living my dream... successful and satisfied- with a side of SILLY!!!! You're the most positive and inspiring person that I know- it's contagious..." -Diana Kostigen, President/CEO Pegasus Image Design, Asheville, NC |
Coaching with Elizabeth, I have doubled the number of clients in my coaching practice, developed business systems that increase my efficiency and effectiveness, increased my confidence and competence and attracted and seized greater opportunities. When I look back to where I was 2 years ago, I barely recognize myself. Even though I’m a coach, I struggled with applying the tools, techniques and practices that would make that vision come to life...until I hired Elizabeth. She has helped me to solidify my vision and make dreams reality. -Cassandra Griffin, CPC, New Realities Coaching, Chicago , IL |
"Since working with you, I have experienced increased practice revenue and increased efficiency and productivity in my work! Plus, my business vision has greater clarity and focus. Needless to say, my anxiety and frustration over simple and complex business occurrences has been reduced, therefore my personal life quality has improved as well. YOU ARE DEFINITELY WORTH THE INVESTMENT!!" -Patrice Bullock, MSN, FNP-C, Family Nurse Practitioner New Genesis Center for Intentional Health & Aesthetics,Thomasville, GA |
If you're like most business owners, you work long hours, find it hard to take time off and feel like you're always working, even when you're not at work. You originally started your business venture to fulfill your desire for freedom and creativity and excitement and now you may feel like a slave to the day-to-day operations, the details, the paperwork, the overwhelm! It's exhausting and can wear you out. And that's why a lot of business owners close up shop and go back to regular "jobs." You don't really want to do that, do you? Go back to a regular "job"? (Yuck!) |
