As part of our busy bee workshops we are aiming to break down each step in creating our coaching businesses.  Understanding the techy, marketing and biz aspects that can be very overwhelming for small biz owners starting out in the online world is crucial.  

As well as looking at the fundamentals, we will use case studies that our coaches are actually experiencing.  By us working through these different elements we will each have more understanding and confidence in getting our message or service out to our tribes.

The first workshop is about the basics of blogging.  How we can use it in our biz to warm up our prospects , direct them back to our websites,  get them signed up to our mailing list to build up trust and rapport and to convert them as customers or clients.

Below is sthe origina post from our secret Facebook Group - Niche Networks - Coach Support

How we got started - Original Post 

We want to help you all get started - find your voice, identify your message and the outcome that you want to achieve. You may have already created a blog, but want to enhance it or you may want to use it as a lead into getting people onto your email list. You may need help in creating content or you may be finding it hard to write about something and need some tips in relation to the service or product that you want to promote.

We want to make this as interactive as possible. Also to encourage everyone to start blogging at least once a week - set some time aside as this is a great way to engage with your tribe and get people to visit your website.

We will look at the ways to repurpose your blog content, what platforms can you use.

We will also be looking at a couple of blogs from Denise Duffield Thomas, Leonie Dawson and a few others to see what they have in common from a marketing perspective.  

Below is a recording from a recent workshop which I cohosted with Clare Lavender (coaching-I-am.com).  We were also joined by two of our members joined Noelene Dwyer (pregnancybirthandparenting.com) and Ann Harris (opulentsouls.com).  Click on recording to listen

Also mentioned in our facebook group or was included in the recording were the following blog post resources:

Clare Lavender - eat pray and don't forget love and more than meets the eye

Denise Duffield Thomas - ​self love and acceptance/

Our second workshop was again cohosted with Clare Lavender (coaching-I-am.com) and Tara Bulum of (planitbizsuccess.com) also joined us for the call.

In Diana's words:

"EFT or Tapping Therapy is a branch of energy psychology created by Gary Craig in the 1990's.  It's a form of psychological acupressure and uses a combination of the ancient energy system of acupuncture meridians and modern talk therapy and it integrates perfectly with other forms of wellness practice or counseling.

Coaching with EFT involves tapping on acupressure points with your fingertips while focusing on and talking about an emotion, belief, physical sensation or event from the past that's affecting your emotional health today. This gentle technique minimises the distress of revisiting your painful memories, physical sensations and emotions.

EFT is very different and can seem a bit strange and challenging. But, the truth is the human brain loves novelty and if you keep finding yourself returning to patterns of unwanted behaviour EFT might be the approach that finally clears that response.  

You don't have to believe in EFT for it to work, just be open enough to give it a go and brave enough to say what you're really thinking.

EFT allows you to speak 'your truth' and accept yourself anyway.
​
Want to know more?  I love sharing EFT, why not contact me to book a free, no obligation chat and find out how the emotional freedom technique might help you."

It is amazing what we can achieve if we believe in ourselves and take action

Words from Ann:

"I'm celebrating. I have just put my low cost product of three meditations on my website today. It has been such a busy time for me in the last few months.

You get three beautiful meditations for only $14.95.  

_I wanted to share this video of me and let you know how a couple of years ago I was so shy I couldn't even speak on a group teleseminar because by the time it was my turn to talk I could hardly breathe. The changes that have happened to me especially this year have been amazing and now I am doing what I love it is so much easier for me to move through the fear that used to hold me back. I know that you can do it too, as you all have gifts that can help other people and when your energy is in alignment anything is possible for you.   Click here or on the pic below.

Agnes is a published author who has just published her second book Emerald City.  This is on her website agnesvivarelli.com and also available on Amazon.  Emerald City houses 31 stories of individuals that really wanted something, such as a soul mate relationship, a trip, a dream job, a specific house, a million dollars etc.

​These true stories give a detailed account of how each was achieved and the time frame it took to do so. Each person in this book used the Law of Attraction. Some also used the teachings of Abraham-Hicks and Neville Goddard.  This is part II of her trilogy.  

Check out Agnes' member page to find about a bit more about this amazing lady who embraced the "Post it Monday" strategy which concentrates on completing three tasks each week in regards to her biz.  You can also listen to other interviews with Agnes and also find out about the first book in her series "A Person of Interest".

I have been a little quiet as I am in the process of promoting and getting ready for my next workshop. I appreciate all of Colleen's support with this. (This post is a bit long-winded but I thought I would post my experience here, as it might be useful for others.)

This workshop is being promoted as art therapy in the form of a Mosaic Mandala Workshop. Attendees will design, make and grout their own mandala using stone, glass, smalti, tiles, crystals, crockery etc.. I am drawing on mandalas for their beauty as well as their use for insight, healing and meditation.

I am at the point where I begin to get nervous. I am about 6 weeks out. The initial response has been fantastic but I now need to reach more people to fill the workshop. There has been a lot of visualisation going on.

So what have I done so far? 
​

• I have offered an early bird special being a discount of $30.00 to book in early and secure a spot. 
• I have contacted all of those on my list who have expressed an interest in my workshops. 
• I mention it to all and sundry.
• I ran a small mini-mosaic mandala workshop at a local artisan market last month to generate interest. I will create a larger mandala project from these small pieces which will generate more interest in the future.
• I have promoted it on my facebook pages and on the facebook page of the venue where I will be holding the workshop.
• I have boosted a facebook post to run this weekend.
• Flyers are in the process of being printed which will be left with local art shops and crystal/healing shops.

What remains to be done?

• -Do blog post and promote it on website and facebook.
• -Design lead magnet and use lead pages to promote and build potential workshop attendees.
• -Create a Mosaic Mandala Kit (pushing it with this one) to have on display or available for purchase at workshop, for those who might like to give as gift to others to create a piece.
• -Then let go of it all.

​Apart from the marketing and promotion, I have to source and purchase all materials and cut,seal boards and apply fixings for use in workshop.

Pictured below are the mini-mosaic mandalas created by visitors to the market workshop ready to be grouted and to form the larger project.

In Clare's words:

"Along with my Life Coaching practice, I continue to create the occasional mosaic piece as commissions and facilitate workshops primarily for women and children, wanting to have fun and get creative. No artistic skills are required, just a willingness to let things flow.  I love running these workshops which are rewarding and exhausting.  I enjoy the opportunity to be able to teach and support others in this way. You can see more, if you are interested, at my website at Mosaicworks."

Om Swasti Astu 

Balinese greeting meaning “peace in my heart and peace in yours"

Sometimes in our lives we a drawn to something more sacred, seeking meaning and understanding so that we can serve and make a difference for ourselves and those around us. 

In this recent solo trip to Ubud Bali I quickly discovered that it became a nostalgic awakening of spirit and purpose. I share my journey, in the hope that it inspires you or encourages you in some small way to  Respark Your Soul! 

In fact ladies, I discovered who are we to hide? Who are we not to shine and share our God given gifts. Rejoice in this beautiful feminine, sixth sensory body we were blessed with and fuel it with cell nurturing goodness in what we eat and drink. Embrace it, move it and get in touch with it.  Despite society expectations, we are not here to hide behind just to please our kids our partners or parents. Nurture and serve, absolutely yes, but God also asks us to fulfil the reason we came embodied here as beautiful feminine spirits with unique gifts. This combination of our talents is what the world needs, now more than ever.

Do you doubt yourself or fear your greatness?

Are you allowing the judgement of others to play it small?

Are you discounting your desires to please others?

Embrace ladies, fear not. Follow your heart, live it and share with others!   READ MORE...

It's ‪#‎FunTips‬ Saturday and I'm up with the sun today. I've been helping a lot of clients leave their day job and work full-time in their business and it has me reminiscing....

I remember,
- the dream of a balanced lifestyle, working a 4 day week with loads of money coming in.
- the dream of working full time in MY business doing everything I loved, every minute of every day.

I remember, 
- doubt kicking in. I'm not good enough and they'll all see me as a fake. I'm not worthy. Who am I to think I can do this. I'm kidding myself.
- the battle with myself to start, fail, start again, spending thousands on people, courses and stuff only to fail again and consistently learning from my mistakes and gathering who and what I needed to start over yet again.

I remember,
- the joy and immense pride in myself when I handed in my resignation.
- the amazing lightness of heart and spirit when I walked out of the day job that last time.

I remember,
- the excitement of that first day in my very own business
- the joy of doing everything my way; of living, creating and succeeding, exactly the way I'd dreamed.

And as the sun peaks over the horizon and the heater kicks in; I'm greatful that I didn't ever ever give up on myself or my dream.

So my #funtips for today ladies is to keep going. 
Keep striving, learning, crying, laughing, hating and enjoying your life, dreams and your work/business.

Take it from me. It's so worth it. And I wouldn't trade the journey for a single thing.

Enjoy your saturday everyone.
Toni-Maree.
