What if Public Speaking Isn't Your Forte?

Hello, Magnificent Coaches!

My guest is the delightful Ellie Jacques-Capon, of
www.joyhappenscoaching.com. She works with creatives of
all sorts, coaches, entrepreneurs, artists; looking to take their
lives to the next grander vision of themselves.

In building her own coaching practice, Ellie is clear about
one thing: she doesn't want to use public speaking as a
lead-generating tool. Here's her perspective, in her own
words:

"I don't mind speaking in public and can really enjoy it
but it doesn't feel like the right path for me at this time.
I want to take advantage of the technology available to us
and get clients from different areas outside of mine."

So, she asks....

1. How do I attract clients without public speaking?

2. How do I build my email list?

3. If you had to name the top 3 most effective outlets for building
your business without public speaking OR spending tons of money,
what would they be?

4. What are 3 things that you know now that you wish you knew
when you started?

5. What are the biggest obstacles that coaches face when building their
businesses in this way?

6. What do clients need to experience on a website, etc, in order to
experience the coach? IE, what stage needs to be set in order to let
them experience the coach enough to want to work with them?

If you're like Ellie, and know that public speaking isn't your "inspired
action," then listen in to our conversation.

Those of you interested in using public speaking as a lead-gen tool,
check out a K-Cast from May 1st, 2007, "Using Speaking Engagements
in Practice Development."

The K-Cast Archive is to the right of this page. Click on the link for
May, 2007, and (once you arrive there) scroll to the bottom of that page.

As always, I'd love to read any comments you may have on this topic.

Learn My Secrets of Success

Hello, Magnificent Coach {!firstname_fix},

I'm excited to share the second K-Cast of May with you.
This "Secrets of Success" broadcast was the brainchild of Louisa Chan, of
Abundant Lives Coaching (www.abundantlivescoaching.com).

Remember to click on the title bar to stream the audio, or
right-click to download to your computer.

Louisa is a Certified Processional Coach, who works with people
who are seeking to create success beyond limitation, a more abundant
life in every aspect.

One thing that keeps many from living a truly successful and
empowered life is the sense of overwhelm. For a free audio and
ecourse on how to have success without the stress you can visit her
companion site, www.WorkWithOneHeart.com/stressfree.

Here are some of the questions which formed the basis of our K-Cast
conversation:

1. Would you say that you are quite a successful coach today and how
would you define that success?

2. What is the secret of your success?

3. What will bring you to the next level, from a 6-figure coach to a
7-figure coach?

4. Would you say that this secret can be used by all budding coaches?
In all niche areas from all cultures?

5. Looking back what may you have done differently? What is your
advice to budding,"bamboo" coaches?

Certainly, all the information found in this K-Cast is beneficial to
"bamboo" and seasoned coaches!

Do You Know the Amazing Power of Accountability?

There's another audio I want to make sure you've heard.
Last week we had the Secrets of Accountability teleseminar,
and it was a rousing success. You can find that audio here:

www.mentorcoachingclub.com

I've opened membership to the newly-redesigned eCommunity
Mentor Coaching Club at a truly affordable rate: $97.00 per month,
for three hours of group coaching calls.

This rate is available until midnight, June 1st, 2009 - after that, the
rate is $147.00 per month. Still a wonderful value.

There's truly nothing like the synergy of the group, and the power
of mentor coaching - accountability in your practice development
works miracles, both large and small!

It's my intention to provide the coaches in our community the support
they need to build a thriving practice...with ease and joy!

You can sign up for the program from the mentorcoachingclub.com
Web page.

So, that's it for May. Keep your eyes open for the next K-Cast, to be
posted during the second week of June.

Love and Great Joy,

Karen

Looking for Fierce Marketing Ideas?

Hello, Magnificent Coaches!

For the first K-Cast of May, I'm delighted to share a conversation I had recently with Rachel Rodriquez, who comes with questions about outreach and marketing your coaching services in a small community.

These are issues she is facing in her own practice, and I'm clear that many coaches face this same dilemma; after all, we are all living in small communities - even when we reside in large cities!

Rachel Rodriguez is a highly motivated and FIERCE lady with a passion for living to the fullest and helping others do the same. She works with women who are at a crossroads, women who want a more fabulous life.

During Operation Iraqi Freedom Rachel worked as a Civil Affairs specialist helping provide aid and relief to Iraqi civilians. After her tour, Rachel returned to her position as a Management Trainee and Analyst for Toyota Motor Sales National USA Headquarters. Her website is www.thefiercecoach.com.

Here are her questions....

1. What is the best/most effective way to market yourself when in a small community?

2. How do I show my value or experience to be an effective coach if I'm just starting out?

3. How do I encourage family and friends to share the news about my coaching business; especially when some of them are leery about coaching as a profession?

4. When in a social environment, what is a good way to bring up being a coach and offering your services?

Remember to click on the title bar to listen - or right click, to download the audio to your computer. I hope you enjoy this K-Cast production - and look forward to another later in the month.

Love and Great Joy,

Karen

How a Virtual Assistant Can Help You Grow Your Business

Hello, Everyone!

The subject of this K-Cast is one that has been the focus of many inquiries - both for me, and for my VA, Kim Stacey. Quite often we get asked, what does a VA do? And, where do I find one? Today, with the help of my guest, we'll answer these questions...and quite a few more!

My guest is Stefany Burrowes, CMC, PCC. She is the owner of Sensational Wisdom, Creative Coaching & Collaboration, and specializes in coaching creatives of all kinds - artists, actors, and
entrepreneurs. Stefany lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and you can reach her at 505.474.3752 or stefany@sensationalwisdom.com
. You can also learn more about the acting community where Stefany thrives at the Theater Salon.

She came to the K-Cast "table" with these questions about working with a Virtual Assistant, often called a "VA":

1. How can they help me grow my business and make more money?

2. Where and how do you find good VA’s?

3. What should I look for in a VA?

4. How do I know that I have found the right person to work with?

5. When should I run the other direction?

6. Should I interview several VA’s?

7. What should I ask them?

8. What are the essential elements of an effective relationship with a VA?

9. How do I do this if I am overwhelmed, but not making much money?!

10. How does the VA document the hours and work done?

11. How does the VA bill me? Monthly? Hourly?

12. How much do they charge?

Remember to click on the Title Bar to stream the audio, or "right-click" to save to your computer. Either way, by the time you finish with this K-Cast, you'll know more about easily bringing in the support you need with a VA, and how doing so can enrich your business, and your life.Consider the possibilities: less overwhelm, and more time to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect with your inner self.

I know you'll find listening rewarding - and we'd love to read your comments, should you feel inspired to leave them.

Love and Great Joy,

Karen

P.S. I wanted to thank all the coaches who have agreed to participate in future K-Casts with me.

My VA and I are setting up appointments now - and if you've not heard from us, don't despair. We're putting together a calendar of openings and will respond to you a.s.a.p.

If you've not yet decided to participate, or are curious as to whether your topic/questions will be of interest to our listeners, please send an email to Kim at: assistant@karencappello.com. Let's explore the possibilities together!

Valuable Insights about Your Future Information Products

Hello Magnificent Coaches,

Welcome to another new K-Cast!

For this first K-Cast for November, Carma Spence-Pothitt, The Product Midwife, joins me to ask some great questions around information product creation for coaches.

Carma helps entrepreneurs and budding entrepreneurs "give birth" to their unique products and services. She helps them move forward within the product/service life cycle from "conception" to "birth" and beyond. Her website is www.theproductmidwife.com.

Here are some of her questions:

1. Are product/marketing funnels important for coaches when they first start out?
2. How do beginning coaches set up their first product/marketing funnel?
3. Is it important to have every product within the funnel set up and ready to go before launching any of them?
4. What is the best type of lead generation product, or "ethical bribe," for beginning coaches to use?

Listen in to this engaging conversation. I'll think you'll find it informative.

Remember, click on the title bar to listen to the streaming audio, or right-click to save it to your computer for later listening.

Enjoy!

Using the Law of Attraction to Become a Six Figure Coach

Hello Magnificent Coaches,

Welcome to another K-Cast with me and my fabulous guest Dawn Allen. Dawn is a certified Law of Attraction coach and founder of Inspired Heart Coaching. Dawn helps entrepreneurs create fulfilling relationships and find the love of their life. Dawn expertly supports you in identifying blind spots of resistance, eliminating self-sabotaging behaviors, and helping you get unstuck. You can discover more about Dawn at www.InspiredHeartCoaching.com.

Being a LOA coach, Dawn wanted to discuss how I applied the Law of Attraction in creating my own successful six figure coaching practice. Some of the specific areas that she wanted to know about were,

• Was there one way you used the law of attraction to start attracting your perfect clients in the beginning of your business?
• How have you used the law of attraction to build your own business?
• What part, if any, of the law of attraction, do you think helped you get to six figures so quickly as a coach?
• Was there a particular area of your business that you ever struggled with that the law of attraction helped you resolve or overcome?
• Has there been a particular teacher or author who has had a high impact on your business that you think others would benefit from listening to or reading?

As many of you already know, this one of my favorite topics and while there is a lot of information out there on this subject, if you're like me, you never get tired of learning more.

It is my desire that this K-cast support you in taking your understanding of the Law of Attraction to an even deeper level. I hope that after listening, you come away with a greater awareness of how to create more success in your own business.
