If you’re seriously interested in taking your business and blog to the next level in 2011, then I’ve got something for ya:
While wrapping up my Inspired Blogging for Creative Entrepreneurs program, I’ve decided that I want to offer even more to a small group of creative entrepreneurs who want to have out-freaking-standing businesses this year.
For the first time, I’m offering group coaching which will consist of 6 rockstar sessions to help you take your creative business from drab to fab—or from good to great.
Before I tell you what I’m going to cover in these 6 group coaching sessions, I want to let you in on a secret:
If you decide to purchase the group coaching, you’ll also receive the blogging program. And, there’s something even better—the cost of the group coaching is the same price as the blogging program, so basically, you’ll be getting the entire blogging program for free {not just the first month} when I launch it on January 26th.
There are a limited number of spots in this coaching program, because I want everyone to have a chance to get their questions answered during the Q & A period at the end of each session. So, if you think you might be interested, read this now, because when those spots are gone—they’re gone.
Here’s a breakdown of the 6 sessions:
In February, we’ll have two sessions:

Each session will be about one hour long, and I’ll finish the sessions by giving you a chance to ask questions. If you’re reading this now, then you’ll be able to access the sessions, cause all you need is a computer with internet.
If you don’t know much about me, then you might want a little proof that I know what I’m talking about. I’ve been published and featured on many websites and blogs including Design*Sponge and BlogcastFM. I’ve also been featured by Etsy multiple times, including in their latest list of the 21 best resources from the 2010 Business Blogosphere.
You snooze, you lose: Once this small group is filled, your opportunity is gone.
I’m being extra strict on how many people I’m letting into the program. Again, it’s because I want to give everyone ample time to get their business questions answered. I have no idea how long it’ll take to fill up—but once it does, that’s it.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
I really enjoy sleeping—and I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it if I had unhappy customers. So, I always offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not satisfied during the group coaching program, just ask for your money back, and you’ll get it back no questions asked. It’s that simple, and I’m that confident that these sessions and the blogging program will rock your world.
Like I mentioned above, when I launch the Inspired Blogging for Creative Entrepreneurs program on January 26th, it’ll cost $297—and that’s the discount rate. After a short period of time, it’ll go up to $397. So, if you already know you’re going to want the full 12-month blog program, you might want to consider opting for the group coaching program and receive the blog program for free. Just sayin’
I understand what it’s like to make an investment in your business.
Last September, I paid $900 for a group coaching program. That was a big leap for me, because I’d never paid for business coaching. At first I was nervous, but soon after investing that money I realized it was the right thing to do.
When I look back, I know that I was nervous, because it pushed me clear out of my comfort zone. But, I knew that I needed to make an investment in my business if I was taking things seriously—if I wanted to move to the next level. I just had a feeling in my gut telling me I needed to take steps to move forward.
When anybody asks me if they should invest in something for their business, my response is always the same: what’s your gut telling you?
What’s your gut telling you now? Are you ready to invest time and money in your business in order to get to the next level? If so, I hope to work with you soon.
Your Questions Answered
I’ve gotten some questions about the program, so figured that I should add them along with my answers here in case you also have some of the same questions. I definitely want you to make an informed decision!
Q: Is this program a good fit for me if I don’t already have products or services?
A: Probably not. This course is not about developing products. If you’re looking for that type of information, you won’t find it here. In these courses, I’m assuming that you already have a kickass product, and you’re looking for ways to get that product more publicity and get more sales.
If you haven’t set up an online shop, but you already know exactly what you’re going to sell, then this course could help you. However, you’re going to have to have something to sell before you’ll make any money. I’m freaking awesome at what I do—but I can’t work those kinds of miracles.
Q: How much time will I have to put into this group coaching program?
A: There will be 2 courses in February, 2 courses in March, and 2 courses in April. With Q & A time, I’d say that’s about 3 hours per month.
But, you won’t get anything out of the course if you don’t take action—so, how much time you invest is really up to you. This is NOT a get quick rich scheme. I don’t believe in that crap, and I don’t have one magical answer that’ll make your products fly off the shelves of your craft room. I do have lots of solid advice that, if put into action, will help you have a much more successful year.
If you’re not willing to work hard, don’t take this course. Not because the course to take up a ton of time, but because you’re business isn’t going to succeed without hard work.
Q: I’m really interested in this program, but I’m not sure if it’s the right fit. What happens if I join and then realize it’s not for me?
A: Great question. Only you know if it’s the right fit. If you feel stuck in your business, if you have outstanding products that you can’t figure out how to sell, if you want to add more income streams to your business, or if you need some solid marketing advice, then it’ll probably be a good fit.
However, if for any reason {and I seriously mean any reason} it’s not and you’ve already handed over your hard-earned money, I’ll just give it back. I stated this on the announcement, but it’s worth repeating: I like to sleep. I’m one of those people who must get in her eight hours. If I have unhappy customers, I won’t get good sleep. Plus, I know it’s a risk to invest in something for your business if you can’t see it first. I’ve done it before, and I want you to feel at ease knowing that you can make a “return” anytime during the program.
Q: I’m not sure if I can afford the program now. Will you be offering it again later in the year?
A: I honestly don’t know. At this point, I have not planned on offering it again—but things change. I’m focused on making this program a huge success and then I’ll go from there. If you want to guarantee to get in on this, you should do it now, because I don’t know if I’ll offer this same program again.
Q: Ever since I opened up your email last night, I can’t stop thinking about this opportunity, but $297 is a lot of money for me. Any advice?
A: I completely understand that feeling. I remember my hands sweating and heart pounding when I typed in my bank information to pay for a group coaching program last year. I was paying much more than $297, and it felt like a big risk. I had to do some budgeting that month, but I found that if I wanted something bad enough, I’d find the money.
After I completed the transaction, I didn’t feel nervous anymore. I felt excited and almost relieved, because I was taking steps to make my business succeed. I learned so much from that program that I’m so glad I made that investment. It took my business to the next level. And, I also knew that there was a 100% satisfaction guarantee for the program, so if it didn’t meet my expectations, I could get my money back.
Q: I work odd hours, so I’m not sure if I’d be available to watch/listen to each course live. Are you going to record them?
A: Oh yes. All of the sessions will be recorded and uploaded to a members only site where you’ll continue to have access to them for as long as you want. I know I like to listen to these kinds of things more than once, so I definitely want you to have that option.
I hope this helps you make a decision about joining the program.
You’ve got two payment options, because I know how it is to run a small business.
You can pay one lump sum of $297
Or
You can make 3 payments of $125
