Coach Louise invites you...
I want to invite you to listen in on my online radio show at the link http://www.blogtalkradio.com/KeystoClarity-Coach tomorrow at 7pm EST!
Attention Coaches! Particularly coaches who are new or are still in the first 2 to 3 years of being a coach and growing your business. Come and find tips and tools that will work in your business, help you get clients, and pin point what might be holding you up! Nick Zart, as a relatively new coach who is training through Coach U, will share his experiences. We will talk about his successes and challenges, he’ll be a good sport and get a little coaching, and provide an opportunity for us to learn from his journey on the road to becoming a successful coach! Nick is a wonderful man who is very open so we should have a great show.
If you register on www.blogtalkradio.com (very easy) you can participate in the chat during the show – with comments or questions, and you will also be able to get updates of upcoming shows if you make me a favorite!

Get Clear Now – 90 Day Challenge Mastermind Group

Clarity!
Get Clarity! Refine your vision! Create your intentions! Get focused! Create tangible results!!
These are just a few of the accomplishments you could have, by participating in a special group starting next week.
The holidays are upon us! It’s important to have fun, however it is easy to get off track over the Silly Season! Does the shaky economy have you shaking in your boots? Is the election distracting you from your mission? Are the demands of family, children and day to day life, getting in the way of creating that special dream you have always wanted. If you are running a business, is everything running smoothly and are clients running through your door? Are your limiting beliefs holding you back from accomplishing what you really want? Do you have a handle on manifesting wonderful and meaningful results in your life?
t’ave fun,
Take the opportunity to clear your head, and get cracking on what’s most important to YOU! Stop procrastinating and take steps to make your immediate goals real. A special mastermind group is forming that will meet for an hour each week by phone. On the first call each member will introduce them self and set intentions for the next 90 days (bearing in mind that the last 30 days of the program will be the first 30 days of the New Year!)
In ongoing sessions we will:
· Clarify our intentions.
· Make sure we are in alignment with our goals.
· Make sure our goals are ‘do-able’ and construct a solid process to make sure they can be successfully and easily accomplished.
· Review progress and re-define our goals and intentions over time as necessary.
· Get really clear about how you want to end 2008, and how you want to start 2009!
· Get coaching, helpful tips and tools as well as great resources and support from Louise – not forgetting the unique support and contribution from other group members.
· Create shifts in perspective, through group discussion and inquiry, which will propel you forward.
· Have the opportunity to brainstorm and collaborate in our own virtual boardroom.
· Get to practice and implement the Law of Attraction.
· Make wonderful friendships and alliances with amazing people.
· Create a confidential and safe space with non-judgment, and full participation.
· Celebrate our accomplishments big, and small.
And, in between calls, each member will have unlimited email access to Louise and the opportunity to interact with other members in a private forum.
There is one requirement of the individuals who register for this program: willingness. A willingness to show up and take action is all that is needed to get started.
Are you willing? Are you ready to take action? Jump off the fence, and join us! At the amazing price of $289 for the full 90 days you will also receive a bonus of 30 minutes private coaching with Louise each month. It is an opportunity not to be missed – this price will no be repeated. A similar personal coaching package would be worth $1200+.
My mission is to assist people, like you, doing important and meaningful things in the world, to make your potential real.
We will start on Tuesday, 4th November (yes, I know Election Day!) at 7pm Eastern. There are just a few seats left. Please call me as soon as possible to book your space and Get Clear Now!
Warmly,
Louise
PS: If the timing is not right, I am taking bookings now for the ‘Start the New Year with a Bang
~ 90 Day Challenge’ beginning in January. these are small intimate groups and space is limited, so book your place now. An early bird price of $329 is available until December 12th. Thereafter the price is $389. (Could this be the special gift you have been looking to give someone? – it truly will be a wonderful experience.)

Planning my time...
As most of you know, I am life and small business coach! I work from my home office, and can easily ferret myself away in there all day not coming up for breath or company! As I love what I do, the hours can easily slip away, and before I know it, I can go 3 days without leaving the house. (a lot of my clients get coached by phone across the country and world) And then I realise that I have been so busy that I haven’t spent any time with the people who are important in my life – husband, my friends… and my community! The people who I want to be in touch with and get to know, my potential clients! Make sure this is not happening to you!
Tip #1
Take the time to schedule in some time out for yourself during the day. Even if you are flat out busy! Give yourself the opportunity to nurture yourself and recharge your batteries so that you are energised and productive for the rest of the day. Believe me you will be a lot more effective and feel a lot better.
Tip #2
Make at least 5 appointments a week to get you out of your home office or business. 1 to have lunch with a friend, 1 to have lunch or coffee with a business associate or peer in your industry, and then if possible see 3 potential clients a week. Take a brown bag lunch, coffee, or even a walk (wonderful if you’re a coach) with your prospective client. This will also help you to set up your schedule around how many calls you will need to make during the week to make this happen!
Tip #3
Think about joining a networking group. This will give you the opportunity to meet people! And they could become potential clients and customers. The alternative is to join a group in the niche you work in. I belong to a Holistic Healing Alliance which has all sorts of holistic practitioners and coaches as members. A lot of them are clients or potential clients, as well as the possibility of my becoming theirs. We are also focussed on the prosperity and success of each other’s businesses, so we get to know each other, which results in referrals. It works wonderfully.
These methods will get you out there, interacting and growing your business continually at the same time. Its also important to make that you are taking care of yourself, so taking time out of your schedule to do something just for you, will keep you mindful of whats most important.
everything in balance,
Coach Louise

That might seen as a silly question…. but really what motivates us to get up in the morning to do what we do? It is not always the money, in fact it often is secondary, even tho’ it is the one thing that allows us to keep doing what we love doing! So of course we can see how important that aspect is!
Of course it also means that we need to determine what ’success’ means to us! Success to me, means that I can work with amazing people to help them create wonderful businesses that can impact people effectively and allow myself and them to live a fun, and easy life, being able to grow and learn at the same time! Realistically that means you need financial success to be able create that on an ongoing basis! So think about what you want! and how are you going to create that?
On Monday, I will be interviewing Craig Miller - The Cake Coach, www.thecakecoach.com who is excellent marketing coach. Look at the name he uses! I was immediately attracted to what he offered! He is going to be sharing why small entrepeneurial businesses fail to get clients and steps need to succeed. That will include some great tips and tools on how to do that! This interview is going help you reach your dream!
The interview will take place on my radio show KtC Radio (link on side of page) on Monday 8th September at 7pm EST. If you aren’t able to listen live (and phone in to ask questions!) then listen to the archived podcast afterwards!

Hi all holistic practitioners and coaches!
Watch this space! I will be having a show focusing on the different marketing principles of how to get clients! This will be on Monday the 8th September at 7pm EST.
I noticed when I was attending a networking group comprised mainly of holistic practitioners and coaches – that the biggest issue for them was around marketing and how to get clients! This is a combination the coaching aspect – getting past your own fears or blocks, but also have the basic principles of getting out there in the right way and speaking to the right people. This will be an exciting opportunity to grow your business especially what can be seen as a shaky economic climate. I am hoping to have someone to interview on this topic – TBA! Looking forward to meeting you on the air! (See link for radio show on side of page) Don’t forget that if you can’t listen live, then click on the same link and listen to the archived podcasts of this or previous shows – a mine of information!
On a mission!
