When I first started providing business coaching services, I followed the time for money model that all coaches at that time were trained to use. I charged a monthly fee for two hours of time with me every month.

That worked well while I was in start-up mode. But, it stopped working so well when I reached a full practice. I ran out of the time and energy I needed to add more new clients and additional income. I started to realize there was a cap on my profits.

I could see only three options: either work harder and longer hours to increase my income, or raise my rates, or settle for a less than satisfactory income level.

I chose to raise my rates. I was too timid to go back to my current clients and tell them I wanted more money, so I just increased my fee for new clients. That worked all right for quite a while, and I was content with a decent hourly rate and a full roster of clients.

It wasn’t until I started learning about different business models that I realized I had been in my own little world of not knowing there were other options for me to have a much more profitable business.

It wasn’t until I implemented a new business model and leveraging strategies that I was able to bring in the kind of income I wanted to make. The knowledge of new business models and ways to leverage my time and energy was the foundation for my being able to even imagine making six figures or more.

I made the shift from professional practitioner to business owner first by branching out into multiple streams of income – such as group coaching programs, workshops, training and speaking, and then creating a line of information products. Over time, I discovered additional leveraging models, such as the membership or association model.

Now I know that there are many ways to structure your business so you can move away from trading all your time for money and enjoy much more income and freedom in your business. If you’re not bringing in the kind of money you want, your business model and service delivery systems are the first places to look.

The business models and systems ideas are almost endless so you can attract more clients and make more money without working so hard. I teach those newer models to all my clients. I love showing women how to shift away from trading all their time for money and implementing systems to leverage what they know into multiple streams of income.

Is your business model set up so you can bring in more money with less effort? If not, here’s what to do. First, look for ways you could deliver your services to multiple people at one time. Or, consider raising your rates by packaging your service delivery in different ways that provide more value without taking more of your time. Or, if you have a proven program or signature system, licensing or selling your home-study system might be another option for you to consider to increase your income to the level you want.

Think out of the box with creative, innovative ways to deliver and leverage your existing services, and watch your income start to soar!

I’m getting ready to celebrate the holidays, as I’m sure you are too, but I wanted to take a moment to share with you a quick business assessment that can potentially shift your income dramatically in 2012.

With the changing economy, you may have noticed changes in the effectiveness of your marketing tactics. In this period of slower economic growth, the women business owners who clarify the most profitable zone in their marketplace are the ones who will come out on top. It’s now more important than ever to find a profitable niche you can be a leader in.

Do you know your ‘Perfect Profit Zone’?

If not, here’s a quick assessment you can take for your current business to determine your most profitable and in-demand services and products.

First, look for these two groups or client types in your current client base:

1. clients who have been the most loyal


2. clients who have been the most profitable

Then, look at your services, programs and products to determine:

1. which ones are in most demand


2. which ones are the most profitable

Now, find the intersection of your most loyal, profitable clients AND your most profitable, in-demand services and products, and you’ll know where the sweet spot is in your business that you can now leverage in 2010 for continued growth and profitability.

I invite you to post your comments and thoughts below.

Wishing you much joy and love during this holiday season,

Personal Branding can be a powerful tool for success. If you are marketing yourself or your professional services, a strong personal brand will draw people and opportunities to you like a magnet.

Personal Branding is about honing your skills, narrowing your focus, and getting clear on what you’re passionate about.

Branding is not just about you being better than your competition. It’s about getting your prospects to choose you as the ONLY solution to their problem.

Here are seven powerful benefits of creating a strong personal brand:

1. Increase your competitive edge

One of the greatest benefits to you of having a strong brand is that it creates a sense of individuality and “separateness” in the marketplace so that your clients are able to easily differentiate your company from your competitors.

2. Catapult your authentic self into the marketplace

Your brand is deeply rooted in your authentic personal identity. The goal of personal branding is to be known for who you are as a person and what you stand for. Your brand is a reflection of who you are, your opinions, values, and beliefs that are visibly expressed by what you say and do, and how you do it.

In effect, it evolves from the search for identity and meaning. For many, it’s about using your best talents and gifts in the service of others. With a clearly defined personal brand strategy, you will create your life and business from a level of personal authenticity that reflects your deepest priorities.

3. Focus your time and talents to achieve maximum leverage

Your personal brand plan can become your own compass or personal North Star. It can guide all your actions and communications so that you demonstrate authenticity and consistency in all your interactions.

4. Create top of mind awareness for your business or professional services

Product and service differentiation has now shifted to brand differentiation. It means consumers do not distinguish products and services, but brands. The branding process allows you to take control of your identity and influence the perception others will have about you and the services you offer.

5. Create the buzz to increase demand for your products, services and expertise

You can achieve effortless business growth using simple branding solutions to generate word-of-mouth marketing through the invisible networks that the buzz spreads through.

Your brand will connect you with the movers and shakers who will send you referrals and give you testimonials. It will get people talking about you to stimulate customer-to-customer selling. Persistent action to communicate your brand consistently through many channels will start to generate the buzz and create excitement for your products and services.

6. Generate more sales and higher income in less time

Most professionals don’t reach their full income potential. A strong personal brand will enable you to effortlessly attract clients and opportunities. You will position yourself in the mind of your marketplace as THE service provider of choice to dominate your market and command higher fees – work less and make more!

7. Establish yourself as an expert and become a celebrity in your area of specialty

Gain name recognition in your area of expertise where it counts the most – in your customer’s mind. Make a lasting impression and be super-rewarded for your individuality.

Trust, respect, and admiration will follow when your name and message are embedded repeatedly into the consciousness of your target market. You will be perceived as an expert the more you are visible to your target audience. Your brand will propel you to the top in your marketplace.

It’s your time to SHINE!

Is your website bringing you all the sales and opportunities you want?

Over the years as I have studied marketing best practices and mentored thousands of women entrepreneurs in marketing and growing their business, I have observed what works and what doesn’t work in creating effective websites that sell.

All too often I have seen entrepreneurs and professionals spend thousands of dollars on pretty but ineffective websites. They pay someone for a lovely design but that person may not know the basics of how your website needs to be designed so that you get more leads and more sales.

Here are the mistakes I see and the steps to fix them:

Mistake 1: No Way to Capture Leads
The number one goal of your website should be to capture names and email addresses of prospects so you can get your message in front of them over and over. You’ll want to automate this system with one of the many services that will do this for you.

Mistake 2: Opt-In Box and Call to Action Not Visible
Your opt-in box for your free offer and to subscribe to your list needs to be at the top of every page of your website. Top left is ideal, or in the header or top right are excellent too. All too often, these boxes are hidden far down the page. Make it very easy for people to find it as soon as they come to your site. A call to action is what tells people what to do next. Don’t assume they will know. Say “click here now to get your free report” or “enter your name to receive your free gift instantly”.

Mistake 3: No Compelling Offer to a Specific Target Audience
This is the biggest mistake I see. There are two aspects to this. First, the target market is too broad or general. Second, there is nothing offered that is compelling enough for these ideal prospects to exchange their name and email address for. It’s not enough now to say “sign up for my newsletter”. You need to make it much more enticing. Offer something that will solve a problem for your marketplace. Offer something they’ll get instantly – such as a special report, tips lists, audio class or e-course, a quiz or assessment, a CD or a video – and let them know they’ll also receive your ezine or weekly tips.

Mistake 4: A Homepage That Is All About You
When someone visits your website, the first thing they want to know is “what’s in it for me?” They want to know that you understand them and their challenges before they want to know about you. The mistake I see too often is the website owner’s mission statement or vision or credentials first thing on the homepage. Make the beginning paragraphs about your prospects, not about you. Show them that you identify with them and understand their frustrations, and only then let them know how you can help them.

Mistake 5: No Compelling Headline on Each Page
A headline serves two purposes: to capture people’s attention so they will want to read more, and to tell the search engines what your site is all about. Search engines look for key words or phrases in your headlines and first two paragraphs of text, and so do people. When prospects see that you understand them and you’re talking to them, they’ll want to read more.

Mistake 6: No Clear Path for Prospects to Follow
Keep your navigation at your site very simple and guide people through so they aren’t overwhelmed at your home page by too many options. The main goal of your website should be to get people on your list. Once they are on your list, you will have multiple opportunities to sell to them. Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of trying to sell high-end services too soon before prospects get a chance to know you and appreciate your expertise. Get them on your list first, and then as they come to appreciate you as a resource and trusted advisor through your articles and tips, start telling them gradually about your services and products.

Here are six steps you can take right now to shift your website from ineffective to a continual sales generator:

1. Have a way to automatically capture prospects names and email addresses. There are many excellent services that can automate this for you such as 1 Shopping Cart, A Weber, or Get Response.
2. Make sure your opt-in box and call to action to capture leads are at the top of every page.
3. Create an enticing offer that prospects will clamor to get and will gladly give you their name and email address to receive.
4. Review your homepage to ensure that it’s mainly about your prospects and their challenges and not all about you.
5. Write a compelling headline using your keywords for each page of your website.
6. Develop a clear path for prospects to follow from the initial subscription to your list to something free or low-cost, then on up to medium and higher priced products and services. This is often called your “marketing funnel”.

Do all these things, and you should start seeing more subscribers added to your list and more sales at your website.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Little Known Secrets for Creating a 6-Figure Service Business

How would you like to work less and earn more? What if instead of always having to chase new clients, you could start implementing a freedom-based, entrepreneurial, leveraged business model that would streamline all your marketing, simplify the way you bring in income, increase your revenue, and give you more time off?

When it comes to breaking through the 6-figure mark, most service professionals fall short. Many coaches, consultants and speakers are full of passion for what they do. They want to attract more clients and make more money, but they lack the marketing skills and results-based programs to convince clients to buy on the spot.

Jan Marie Dore, “The Women Entrepreneurs’ Success Coach,” has the secret to generating thousands of dollars doing what you love by creating your own branded signature program and leveraging it into multiple incomes streams. She says the signature client program is one of the easiest (and most effective) ways to attract new business and increase profits. Jan created her profitable coaching and training business by leveraging her expertise into multiple streams of income and by using her Client Sales System methodology that does all the selling for her.

“It all revolves around creating your own signature system,” Jan says. “You already know how to deliver your service very successfully. I don’t want you to miss the boat when it comes to generating additional sources of revenue in your service-based business. I can teach you how to make the shift into a high profit, high impact business model by leveraging your time and talent into additional income streams – including lucrative, high-end client programs.

Her teleseminar, Simple Strategies to Create a Client Attractive Income Generating Signature Program, is free with limited availability. You’ll need to sign up fast! When you do, you’ll learn how to package your expertise and the work you’re already doing with clients into a simple step-by-step client attractive signature program (any service provider can do this to take the ceiling off your income!), the specific steps you can take to start shifting away from hours-for-dollars work into a more scalable, higher income, leveraged business model, and much, much more.

“I’ve built my business by applying what I know over and over again. And now I’ve got it down to a science! My simple formula works like magic. Not knowing this used to cost me thousands of dollars a month, but I’m going to teach it to you so you can quickly learn from my mistakes.”

Jan has a great record for success. Just ask her clients, professional women from all around the world, many of whom were stuck in a time-for-money business model with disappointing results. That is, until they met Jan.

If you’re not taking full advantage of the internet and the information economy to leverage your time and talent, earn multiple streams of income, up-level your business profits, and live the lifestyle you really want, you’ll want to attend this value-packed training call.

Jan Marie Dore, MCC is a mentor and coach to women entrepreneurs and professionals worldwide who are committed to making a difference in the world. She founded Femalepreneurs.com, a coaching and training company dedicated to teaching women how to consistently attract more clients, make more money and have more freedom in their business. She mentors coaches, consultants, speakers and other service professionals on how to sign up more clients quickly, turn their expertise into profitable new income streams, and use the internet to build a solo business with a global reach. For information about her coaching and personal mentoring, small business consulting or in-person workshops and retreats, visit FemalePreneurs.com

I’ve been teaching several classes recently to coaches and other service professionals about adding information products as a new revenue stream. I love connecting with women and supporting them in learning and implementing new ideas to grow their business.

Internet marketing comes naturally to me as I’ve been doing it for so long. I teach women service providers step-by-step how to create new profit centers in their business. I like to break it down into simple, doable steps to make it easy to implement.

My business changed dramatically when I added
new revenue streams and information products.

. . . my marketing became easier

. . . my income increased

. . . I made more sales when I went out to speak

I’d like to share with you some of the ideas I shared at my talk
on how you can get started with information products.

1) Find an unmet need and fill an existing demand.
You’ll have your best success selling information products by finding an unfilled need in your current marketplace and creating a product or program to meet that existing demand. It’s almost impossible to create demand that doesn’t already exist, but you can do very well providing the solutions, resources and answers that people are already searching for.

2) Repurpose everything you do.
You don’t have to start from scratch when creating a new information product. You more than likely have something on your computer from an article, a talk or a workshop that you could use and repurpose. For example, turn a series of articles into an ebook, record the ebook as an audio program, or package your seminar into a workbook you can sell. The ideas are endless.

3) Enroll support and assistance to complete your projects.
You need support and assistance to complete your projects. Don’t try to do it all alone. Keep your first project simple, and don’t get bogged down trying to learn new technology. If anything feels too technical, pick up the phone or send an email to someone you know who has already done this. Or, join a coaching program or hire a virtual assistant to get you set up and started quickly. There are many very reasonably priced services and programs available. This will give you momentum to complete your projects so you can start making sales sooner.

You can easily add a new profit center to your business by turning what you know into an information product, coaching program or seminar. This will make your marketing much easier, increase your sales, and have clients calling you instead of you having to chase after them.

I invite you to share your questions and comments below.

Wishing you much success,
Jan

Hasn’t fall come upon us quickly? I can’t believe it’s almost October!

Are you on track with your income goals for 2011? Or, are you in a place of wanting more clients to fill your practice and grow your business? Join me for my free training call next Thursday to find out how you can ramp up your income quickly.(See details below.)

There are easy ways you can leverage the internet to attract more prospects and clients. You can also create leveraged programs that will attract your ideal clients, give you more income, and free up your time so you don’t have to be always chasing after new clients.

I have designed a highly leveraged, scalable business that allows me to work when and where I want, and travel when and where I want. My business is almost entirely automated and much of what I do is over to the internet and the phone. The days I am consulting or masterminding in person with clients, or speaking or training, I can plan in advance around the time I will be away – which I always schedule in first – so my time is very flexible.

Why am I telling you this?

Because I want to give you some tips on how you can design your business to give you the freedom, lifestyle and income you really want. That’s the reason your started your business in the first place, right?

Here are the steps I took that you can take too:

First, if your only method of delivering your service is one person at a time and requires you to be present, think of ways you can shift some of your services so you can deliver them to more than one person at a time – for example, a small group or a workshop – or ways you could deliver your information in a packaged format.

Next, design a group program or a workshop, or create an information product. Or, do it all at the same time like I do. Start a group program and use that structure to create your first information product that you can sell online.

Then, automate many of the functions in your business using some of the low cost internet tools available that save you lots of time. You can automate things like client attraction, your ezine sign up, your special report or ebook delivery, follow-up messages, and online sales.

Because of the way I have set up my business, I make sales of my products and programs even when I’m visiting a different city or taking time off. It’s a great feeling to turn on your computer in the morning and see the sales notifier pop up to say you have made a sale – like I did this morning – even when it’s the weekend and you’re doing something else you enjoy.

These are some simple changes you can make to get you started. It’s about shifting your thinking about how you can grow your business and income, and then changing some of your delivery formats and methods.

I invite you to post your comments or questions below.

P.S. Please join me next Thursday Sept 29th for my value-packed FREE training call “Insider Secrets to Leveraging Your Time and Talent Into a High-Profit, High-Impact, Multiple Streams of Income Business That Gets Your Purpose Out Into the World in a Much Bigger Way . . . and Gives You More Visibility, Income, and Freedom”.

As a savvy business owner or aspiring entrepreneur, you’ve probably noticed that there’s a BIG shift taking place in the way people choose to make money these days.

interested in Information Publishing? Check out Ali Brown’s 5-part telecourse.

Just think, how do YOU earn a living right now?

If you’re a:

*Small Business Owner: You likely work 7 days a week. You may have a few employees that help run the show when you’re gone, but if you’re not regularly involved in the day-to-day, your ship will likely sink.

*Freelancer/Contractor: You work 10+ hours a day promoting your services AND working on actual projects. Despite your overtime and hard work, you still only get paid for the hours you spend at your desk working.

*Full-time salaried employee: You clock in five days a week–and except for paid vacation, sick leave, and a personal day here and there–you only get paid for the time you spend at your desk working.

*Stay-at-home mom: You aren’t making much money right now, and you have so much information to share with the world, but you don’t know how and where to start.

If the descriptions above sound like your life, I can guess that deep in your heart, you *truly believe* that there MUST be a better way to make money…

Well, the GREAT news is there IS a smarter way…

And starting Tomorrow – TUESDAY, August 2, entrepreneur mentor Ali Brown is going to show you how in her NEW 5-part telecourse: “Income Publishing Strategies: Create New Revenue Streams and Expert Status From Knowledge You Already Have”

P.S. I want to let you know that I am an affiliate of Ali’s, which means I believe in what she’s doing and if you invest with her, she may send me a commission. Ali has been a great mentor for me over the years and I can highly recommend any of her courses. She keeps it simple, and gives tremendous value.

I was at an evening presentation last week given by Alexis Martin Neely on her “Money Map to Freedom” program. This is me with Alexis at the Ambrosia Hub in downtown Toronto.

Alexis talks about entrepreneurship being an evolutionary path – and I couldn’t agree with her more. Nothing brings up your stuff more than being in business for yourself!

Here are some ideas I took away from her talk I’d like to share with you about what it takes to be an evolutionary entrepreneur:

• Do your great work


• Do just what you came here to do


• Work only in your zone of genius


• Put the right foundation beneath your great work


• Create packages, programs and products based on the outcome you provide


• Build a leveraged, sustainable, freedom-based business


• Put what you do into an income model, then bring on a team to support you

The new business model for entrepreneurs is leveraged, profitable and sustainable. You’re working only with those clients who you know are a perfect fit for your unique purpose.

This is exactly what I love helping women to do – to redesign their business model and programs using this type of structure.

What are your thoughts?

What I have noticed with many of the service professionals I coach is that when I start working with them, they have only one source of income – and it usually means they are giving up all of their time to bring in the amount of money they want to make.

They are stuck in an old business model that no longer works!

If you are someone who has only one income stream – such as coaching or any hourly or monthly paid service that you offer – here are several ideas for you to add new income streams from your expertise and the work you’re already doing with your clients:

• give and in person workshop


• create a simple information product


• design a coaching program


• offer a teleseminar series


• start a mastermind group


• deliver a paid presentation or seminar


• offer your clients a one-day intensive


• structure a small group virtual program


• design in-person retreats

Innovation equals income. Choose one new income stream you can add to your business this month. Get creative in thinking outside the box about how you can package and deliver your expertise and not just your time. Then watch your revenue go up!

I invite you to share your thoughts below.

Wishing you much success with adding new income streams!
Jan
