Linda Carroll of alohalinda.com is one of my beautiful members of onlinecoachsupport.com and also one of my students who invested in herself by joining me recently as I beta tested two of my courses:
It was great having Linda in the group. In regards to the Product Creators Course she was joined by Clare Lavender of coaching-i-am.com and Sue Folley of thecauseandeffect.com. As this was a very practical hands on course, it was great starting off with just a few participants. I was able to work with each of them to ensure they got the most out of the course. They each jumped in and contributed to snippets of little gold nuggets that I can now use for content and promotion of this course. Below is just one of those "nuggets" as Linda talks about "WHO WE SERVE..." A snippet from Linda... Aloha!!! I have been in the International Toastmasters Organization since 2006. I joined because I had to do marketing presentations for the Washington State Realtor's Association and their affiliates, on a podium, with a microphone, addressing agents and lenders: people who handled hundreds of thousands of other people's money and homes. Each audience represented millions of dollars that would change hands that day. It also represented the hopes and fears of people waiting to sell their home and move on in life; or wishing and dreaming to buy a home, and start a new part of their life. How could I, in my brief moments, make them pay attention to the homes and buyers that I represented? How could I intrigue and convince them to work with me? How could I best perform the job of helping my sellers and buyers achieve their dreams and goals? I joined the nearest Toastmasters and learned to hone my skills of effective speech, making my time and words work to the best effect. I left Real Estate when I moved to Hawaii, but I've continued to support speakers in the Kona Toastmasters Club. Helping a speaker who has a desire to express, who feels called and compelled to share a message--that's become the most valuable work that I perform. My focus moved to supporting other speakers while I was still in Olympia, Washington. Watching a woman or man struggle against the obstacles of nervousness, uncertainty, undependable voice, not knowing what words to use and the powerful, jubilant transformation when everything begins to click, the words begin to flow, their heart opens and their eyes shine as they realize they can speak effectively and be heard and understood. That they have delivered a message, planted a seed, made a difference, even a small difference in the listener's life. Even before Toastmasters I enjoyed speaking and acting. I performed in a few plays, done a little singing, and some voice acting too. Mostly amateur, some radio ads. A surprising strength that I bring to Public Speaking is my long career in various retail and other sales. You see, every speech, every lesson, every negotiation is like a sales transaction. First, there's a problem to be solved, or a void to be filled. A solution is offered by the seller or the speaker and evaluated by the buyer or the listener. It gets accepted or rejected. Both parties are satisfied...or not! The best sales, and the best speeches, are full of value, go smoothly and easily for both sides, and end up happy for everyone! I am excited that for the next round of Product Creators which starts this Saturday 15 October 2016 that Linda has teamed up with me to beta test her course Coaches Speak out to her tribe. So not only will you be able to be hands on with creating some content for your courses you will also be guided with some great tips of how you can present yourself when speaking either online or at workshops. You will be able to speak well, be heard and get your message out to your tribe. 6 PRACTICAL WEEKS OF CREATING YOUR CONTENT AND CRAFTING YOUR MESSAGE - Product Creators and Coaches Speak combined To help get you started we have both created a FREE download that will help you: 6 Tools I Use that will Help You Create Your Audios & Videos & Linda's 3 Tips to Help You Face Your Fear of Public Speaking You can also click on the pic below. If you need help to craft your talk, get your message out to your tribe and create and edit some audios, graphics and videos then join Linda and myself over the next 6 weeks in a small safe online workshop environment to make it happen. This course has been heavily reduced and strictly limited to only 14 people.
You will also then have lifetime access to all future live workshops. You will also have access to recordings, additional templates etc. You will be supported through a private Facebook group and you will have 2 coaches (myself and Linda) working directly with you to ensure you MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! As my mission is to showcase and promote my members of onlinecoachsupport.com as much as possible I designed two courses specifically to assist these coaches in creating their products and getting their messages out to their tribes. Over the last few months I have been beta testing both of them:
Clare Lavender of coaching-i-am.com was one of the members that invested in me and signed up to both groups. Her product is called the Daring, Divorced & Divine Programme. From working with me she has now created an avatar and a strong statement of value, mapped out her topics and is working on putting together a sales funnel so she can also do a pilot run of her course very soon. If you are interested in pre-registering for this programme you will be offered an early bird discount. Email Clare - coach@coaching-I-am.com for further information.
If you are currently going through a divorce or have been through a divorce and need some extra support and tools so you can get on with your life register your interest with Clare. Listen to Clare's intro talk for her Daring, Divorced, & Divine Programme. In this case she was adding the background music and she was also able to practice what she would say. Clare's soothing voice as she speaks makes you feel safe and in the best hands to help you move forward with this stage of your life.
In addition, Clare put together a fantastic testimonial video from doing my Product Creators course. This course is a practical 6 week course that enables you to use a range of software to create and edit some audios, pics and videos. We work together so any problems or challenges that you may be experiencing is worked through straight away. This was the greatest compliment she could have given me. I love it.
The next round of Product Creators will commence Saturday 15 October 2017 at 11am Perth (AWST) time.
This time though I will be teaming up with Linda Carroll - alohalinda.com who is beta testing her course - Coaches Speak. So not only will you be able to be hands on with creating some content for your courses you will also be guided with some great tips of how you can present yourself when speaking either online or at workshops. You will be able to speak well, be heard and get your message out to your tribe. To help get you started download my 6 Tools to Helping You Create Your Audios & Videos & Linda's 3 Tips to Help You Face Your Fear of Public Speaking. You can also click on the pic below. Join us in a small group environment. Our next workshop starts on Staurday 15 October 2016. As this is the first time for Linda's course we have reduced the price and are limiting the numbers to 14 coaches only so get in quick. Discount is available for members of onlinecoachsupport.com.

Within our community at onlinecoachsupport.com there is a small group of overwhelmed and techy troubled life coaches that have been road testing my new course - 6 Basic Pillars to Creating Your Online Biz & Attracting Your Perfect Customers (aka The Honeycomb Effect). I also had three of those members also trialling out my Product Creators Course. Over the next few months I will be sharing some of the snippets (or little nuggets of gold) that came about because of the live interaction from beta testing to a small pocket of my target market. My Awesome Beta Tester Coaches
I had previously piloted the 6 Pillars course over 18 months ago and had good results. The thought though of trying to put it all together, going through all the audio, editing and creating the required content overwhelmed me. I also had mixed feelings about whether it was good enough or had strong enough content to then build it into an online course. I decided that I needed to take the plunge and run it again to a small group at a very discounted price, otherwise the course would never be run. By doing so I was able to test out my content, the length of each topic and sub topic and create extra content material such as planning sheets, checklists, little snippets of audio and videos, etc. By interacting with the lovely coaches that joined me this enabled me to also see if I was on the right track and where I had to tweak my content when necessary. I had also signed up to a business and marketing course that cost me $5,500. I was freakin' out as my full time job paid my bills, but I didn't have any spare income to start the course. I needed to at least come up with the deposit before I could start this course that would actually help me with getting my course created and out to my target market. I could then pay the rest of the course off by instalments. As my mentor Ryan Magdziarz of Winning International would say "Progression not perfection". Another mentor Jeff Walker (Product Formula Launch) calls this the seed launch. Each of these members have continual private access to my 6 Pillars Facebook Group and an Online OneNote where they can electronically store everything in the one place. The best thing about this is that they can privately share with me their progress, where they are stuck and what they have got completed. Instead of emails going back and forth between us each exercise is completed in the OneNote. My coach asked me "How resourceful are you?". It was like he was giving me a challenge and I took the bait. I did my sums and thought if I start running this course as a beta program (bare bones) I would have enough money to pay the deposit. Also I had just been to Cambodia and decided that I wanted to help a lovely lady (Addheka) raise funds to get school uniforms and basic supplies for 800 poor rural children over 7 provinces within Cambodia. This was part of her Aid Projects of Mercy and so my goal became bigger than me. I have since pledged that 50% of my memberships, products and services would go towards this cause and created a crowd funding page. The goal is to raise $20,000 by the end of June 2017. In addition, I also ran another course as a beta program. This was called Product Creators as this was a practical course run over 6 weeks that allowed everyone a chance to be hands on with different types of software that would assist them in creating their content. This is also an offshoot of 6 Pillars as two of the topics covered are Creating Content and Ninja Tools and Support. Clare Lavender, Linda Carroll and Sue Folley also signed up to this course of which I was most grateful. This allowed me to start with this course first whilst I was prepping for 6 Pillars. They were able to create a sample event and go behind the scenes of Instant Teleseminar to create some audio and check out the control panel. Over the 6 weeks we then used Audacity to edit the audios, MP3 Quality Modifier to compress the audio, Canva to create some graphics that we could use as posts or part of a presentation and Movie Maker to then create a video. All of these tools were free for them to use. Instant Teleseminar was the only platform that has monthly charges, but as members of onlinecoachsupport.com and also for doing this course they were allowed to share the platform that I had set up at no cost. They were also able to share their triumphs and challenges in a private Facebook group. If this is an area that you struggle with I encourage you to sign up for my next Product Creator's course that will be commencing Saturday 8 October. If you want to find out more about it and have a clarity call to start designing your marketing plan for your product use my calendar link to organise a call with me
The next round of 6 Pillars will also be commencing beginning of November. This will then lead into 2017 - a great proactive way to get started. If you are interested in joining me for this course or want to find out more information please also use my calendar link so we can discuss further. In this course the topics covered are: Topic 1 - Getting Started Topic 2 - Money Magic Topic 3 - Creating Content Topic 4 - Marketing Psyche & Funnels Topic 5 - Ninja Tools & Support Topic 6 - Partnerships If you choose to do both the 6 Pillars and the Product Creators these programs will also be offered as a bundle. In a recent survey this question got a response that at first I was upset with:(. Since posting in our private Facebook I have also had other members react to it and message me as they thought it was unfair what was written. Below is a snippet of the Survey Form. Refer to Question 2 and the only negative response that was in blue. Wow did that hit me hard. Out of 19 responses I got one negative and that is what I focused on. I knew though from speaking with this member that it was actually coming from a place of love and frustration. Niche Networkers - Coach Support private Facebook was created originally back in 2013 to help us all in this crazy online world as new coaches to support one another both emotionally and technically.
Quite a lot of us in this group became members of onlinecoachsupport.com and have grown considerably in some ways but seem to be still stuck in other ways. Some of us had stopped helping each other and actually given up on their dream of becoming a coach, because it was all getting too hard. Although we have now gained a lot of knowledge, other things were still holding us back - myself included. I felt incongruent as I wasn't applying what I was learning, I wasn't putting faith in myself to make things happen. How could I then be leader of a group that wasn't walking the talk. I had a course that I had piloted over 18 months ago but something was stopping me from putting it out to my target market. I wasn't charging much for one on one consultations or at all sometimes. The energy was going stale as it was taking its toll. This response gave me that jolt and loving kick up the butt that I needed to hear. The member that wrote that response wanted me to step up, show by example that I could make it happen and also be the one to help the others achieve their goal. Since then I have signed up with a high priced business mentor and coach (even though I couldn't afford it). I have generated additional funds to pay for the deposit as well as donations to a fundraising project. I actually need to generate further funds to pay the rest of the coaching course. This is propelling me to get my course done and out to my tribe. I have also run smaller courses that is helping me in the meantime while I do the study and complete what is required of me first. What stops us is ourselves. If we do not believe and trust in ourselves how can we expect others to also. If you are a life, biz or wellness coach and would like extra support book a call with me by using my calendar link. You can check out the benefits of becoming a member or an affiliate by clicking on either link If you want to respond also to the survey which will "Help me to Help you" grow in your business then please take a few minutes and complete it here Warmest regards Colleen Last month I ran a coach-a-thon. This was to raise funds as part of my contribution towards the Tabitha Foundation House Building Programme in Cambodia. For anybody that donated I offered either a coaching or biz strategy session, opportunity to be interviewed or do a case study which was recorded and made available as MP3's (especially for my business friends and Coaches). Clare Lavender of coaching-i-am.com and member of onlinecoachsupport.com wanted to do a case study in regards to the planning and outcomes of the workshops that she has been running. Clare specialises in coaching for women through her own Daring Divorced & Divine Programme and The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte. She also has been busy with running mosaic workshops. Below is her recorded discussion with me. Enjoy!!! Click here or on the pic below More about Cambodia for a CauseOur team led by Jim and Elaine Pollock are heading over to Cambodia in July to build homes for some of the poorest Cambodian families. These families have typically been in the Tabitha savings program for 4-5 years in order to reach their dream of 'graduating from poverty'. As part of this savings program, each family has saved and will contribute $40 towards the cost of the new house and land package. Our team either had to fund raise or contribute $1700 per house by the end of April to get things organised for when we go over. Our team raised $28,496 which will allow for 15 houses to be built and 7 safe wells. When we arrive we will work side by side with the Cambodians, under their leadership and guidance, giving them the opportunity to teach us valuable life skills (building). Each volunteer in our team will fund all their our own expenses and contribute to the cost of the materials. When our team goes over in July we will each be part of the completion process and meet the families that we have sponsored. We will see the other good work that is happening in Cambodia.
As part of a team that are heading over to Cambodia in July to build homes for some of the poorest Cambodian families I thought it would be great to do a coach-a-thon. Our team leader Jim Pollock and his wife Elaine go each year and I thought that I would also like to be a part of it this year. These families have typically been in the Tabitha savings program for 4-5 years in order to reach their dream of 'graduating from poverty'. As part of this savings program, each family has saved and will contribute $40 towards the cost of the new house and land package. Our team is fundraising to pay for the remaining $1700 per house. When we arrive we will work side by side with the Cambodians, under their leadership and guidance, giving them the opportunity to teach us valuable life skills (building). The more money that we raise, the more houses and safe wells we can build, the more families can be helped. Amazingly, within one year of a family moving into a new home with access to a well, they can expect their income to at least double!
As part of the coach-a-thon which is how I am fundraising my individual amount I thought that I could assist in the following ways: Friends and Colleagues that donate could either have a coaching session (valued at $75) on any goal that they wanted help to achieve or roadblocks they wanted to overcome and move forward on. If they own a business or have a product, service to promote, or were involved in other charities they could be interviewed. If they have an idea, but not sure on how to get started we could have a brain storming session together. For members of Online Coach Support (OCS) and other coaches I could also promote or assist them by interviewing them, involving them in case studies, helping them map out their customer paths and marketing funnels, or learning a teleseminar/webinar platform that could help them with their biz. I have had a great response with coaching sessions and interviews and case studies booked to be recorded. My first case study was with one of our members of OCS - Lauren King who talks openly about the struggles she and many others face with the techy and marketing aspects. Although she is confident in her field of nutrition this side of things totally overwhelm her. Click here or on the pic below to listen to us talking through this I have further interviews booked this week which will be also showcased and then put into ITunes. This has reawaken my passion in interviewing others and learning about their stories. I have coaching sessions and strategic marketing plans also that need to be conducted so a great outcome for everyone involved.
Linda Carroll of alohalinda.com is not only a member of onlinecoachsupport.com, but she is also an active member of Toastmasters International. In Linda's words...
How could I, in my brief moments, make them pay attention to the homes and buyers that I represented? How could I intrigue and convince them to work with me?

Linda is also a client of mine and has also invested in both of my courses. Over the last few months I have beta tested the content and ran both of these courses:
I am very grateful to have Linda as one of my students because she also provided me with some wonderful feedback and some valuable "nuggets of gold" Below is a little snippet of audio that includes Linda talking about who we serve... (only 2 mins) Look out for my interview with Linda next week. We will talk about her biggest takeaways from doing the courses (especially Product Creators) and also have a sneak peak into what her course entails If you want to support your tribe with group coaching, webinars or teleseminars and workshops, but you are nervous about public speaking, afraid that your voice will shake or squeak or that you won't present the information in a clear manner Linda's course Coaches Speak is the course for you. To start off with you may wish to pre-record some audio so you can hear yourself back. You may want to create your lead magnet or hook to get your ideal clients to opt in so you can build up that trust and relationship. You may want to create a meditation. You may want to record a whole topic or segment first, which will allow you to edit before you present it to your tribe. The list is endless!!! The next round of Product Creators and Coaches Speak (combined) will be starting Saturday 15 October 2017 at 11am Perth (AWST) time. This time though I will be teaming up with Linda Carroll - alohalinda.com who is beta testing her course - Coaches Speak. So not only will you be able to be hands on with creating some content for your courses you will also be guided with some great tips of how you can present yourself when speaking either online or at workshops.
Marni is 50 years old she is married with 2 children and is a very driven business woman working in the corporate world trying to juggle a family a home to run, and also work, although part time a rather high positioned and challenging career. Her average income is between 90k to 120k.

First of all I have to do a big shout out to my friend and VA (virtual assistant) Allison Mitchell.
Her first mission was to start creating some instagram posts of the many coaches that are members of onlinecoachsupport.com. Already she has created dozens of graphics using Canva.com ready to then create the Instagram posts. Then she has checked out the coaches websites and put together these fantastic posts - these are the ones that have been posted out over the last week. |

"Happy New Year to you.
January is already speeding past and I have been busy planning workshops, talks, interviews and magazine articles so far this year and I love it. This month’s newsletter is to help you learn what your body is telling you with regard to Headaches.
Headaches are caused if you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed or tired. Maybe you’re thinking too much, being judgmental of yourself and others and not trusting what is happening around you.
You may feel limited or restricted in what you want to do or maybe you are looking after others so you don’t have to look after yourself and what you really want. You may doubt what your capable of and have a fear of failing. You may want to appear that you are successful but things that happened in the past where you didn't achieve exactly what you wanted have left you feeling powerless. Maybe you are always trying to push hard to achieve many things and you feel like you are not good enough. When you get a headache it's time to take some time for yourself and allow other people to look after themselves for a while.
Make sure you get enough sleep (check out free webinar here I did to help people sleep better).
Also have a think about what could have caused the headache from information above and what can you change that has happened recently to improve your situation. Your body is always talking to you so listen to what it is saying. Keep your energy balanced and when you make the changes and self realise what is happening that is when the pain will stop.
I would love to support you so you are free from pain and teach you about your emotions and how you can listen to what they are really telling you. Everything that happens to you is a reflection of how you are truly feeling on the inside. So if you are continuously feeling ill or getting into relationships that are not replenishing you, it’s time to look at yourself and make the changes needed.
If you are ready to get 1-1 support now and learn things like • how to improve your health, happiness and clarity • how to live without old behaviors keep stopping you from being happy • how to enjoy creating your life how you want it to be • how to improve your relationships then contact me to find out more about the special 1-1 package. I will support you through combined healing and teaching to create a life you love. +61424 373 597 or ann@opulentsouls.com
Much love
Ann"
