Dear "Outside the Box" Thinker,

• You’re a creative problem solver who instinctively jumps in to help others...

• You’re always turning other people on to resources and alternatives they never knew existed...

• You’re constantly thinking up potential business ideas...

• You love thinking creatively and "outside of the box" about the wide, wide world of work...

That’s why people like talking to you. Maybe they even seek you out...

And why wouldn’t they? After all, thinking about creative ways to make a living without a "job-job" is something that for you just comes, well... naturally.

Perhaps you already have a coaching practice and are looking to add another specialty or income stream...

Then again, maybe you never dreamed you could actually get paid to do something that doesn’t even feel like work.

That is until someone like me comes along and says, "Have you ever thought about starting your own business as an Outside the Job Box Career Consultant?"

If you enjoy brainstorming, teaching, coaching, or researching – and you love the idea of helping people discover and create more meaningful lives doing work they truly love – then today might very well change your life.

That's because you are about to discover how to start your own coaching business or add more value to your current practice... and income in your pocket.

More Than Ever Before,
Clients Are Hungry For Work That Both
Pays The Bills And Feeds Their Soul...

Which is exactly why I took my sixteen years of experience serving people who want to "change course" and developed a proven coaching system to help your clients (and YOU!) make money doing what comes naturally.

My name is Dr. Valerie Young and I'm the Dreamer in Residence at ChangingCourse.com. Since 1995 I've built a reputation as a recognized expert in helping people turn their passions into profits so they can take the leap from having a boss to being their own boss.

My Changing Course Newsletter is read by over 25,000 people. And because my business has been around since 1998, my site consistently ranks on the first page of Google for the term "career change."

I'm also considered an expert on something called the "impostor syndrome."

You may not have heard the term before but I bet you’re familiar with the nagging self-doubt that says, “What if they find out I’m not really as bright or competent or talented as everyone thinks I am!”

Feelings that by the way are most likely to pop up whenever you embark on something new… like for instance starting your own business.

If you struggle with self-confidence I assure you, you’re not alone.

Over the years I’ve spoken to over 60,000 people from such diverse organizations as Intel, Chrysler, Boeing, Procter & Gamble, American Women in Radio and Television, Society of Women Engineers, Canadian Women's Enterprise Centre, and over 60 major colleges and universities including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Cal Tech.

In 2008 I landed a six-figure book deal with Crown Publishing/Random House for The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Impostor Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It.

I've also had the great privilege of working with some of the most inspiring and successful career change gurus around... best-selling authors Barbara Sher (Wishcraft, I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was, Refuse to Choose...) and Barbara Winter who wrote the book on multiple profit centers with her best-seller Making a Living Without a Job.

Finally, my career change advice has been cited in major publications around the world in places like...

I'm not telling you this to impress you.

I'm telling you this because I want you to understand that something huge is happening that impacts you and your clients.

The World of Careers, Career Change,
And Career Planning Has Changed
The Media Gets It -- And So Do Your Clients

People whose jobs are being eliminated now realize that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by starting their own business. After all you can't fire yourself!

People in the early stages of retirement are looking for ways to earn some extra money. Even clients whose jobs are "secure" now realize the wisdom of starting some kind of small business on the side...

Little wonder that the Kauffman Foundation, the world's largest foundation devoted to entrepreneurship, reports the number of people starting a business has continued to grow year after year. Notable among their findings is that:

• Baby boomers aged 55 to 64 represent the most significant spike in people starting their own businesses in the US (this is also true in Canada)

• Increasing numbers of people in minority groups including Latinos, Asian American, and African Americans are jumping into self-employment

• Other researchers found women of color starting businesses at 3-5 times the rate of other business owners

This trend toward self-bossing is international. I've personally coached clients who've reached out to me from Pakistan, Kenya, the UK, Australia, Spain, Uruguay, and the United Arab Emirates.

This vast hunger for both meaning and money is the reason why my friend Gary Vaynerchuk's book Crush It: Why Now Is The Best Time to Cash In On Your Passion became an instant New York Times best-seller.

Let's face it. People are no longer willing to choose between having a job or having a life. Your clients want both meaning and money.

Up until now only a lucky few got to have it all -- satisfying work, freedom, and flexibility.

All of that is changing.

Gary's own rise from wine reviewer for the average Joe and Jane to being a social media phenomenon commanding a $50,000 a day consulting fee proves that the global economy, coupled with the power of the internet and social media, has made the usual financial barriers to entry into entrepreneurship all but vanish.

Now it seems everyone wants to "cash in on their passion." But they need help.

In a Matter of Weeks You Could
Be Well On Your Way to Earning Money
Helping Your Clients Discover Creative Ways to
Profit From Their Passions...

In 2006 I created the Profiting From Your Passions^® Career Coach System program.

It is the first and ONLY entrepreneurial-oriented career coaching training system to hand you a proven blueprint to working with clients who want to turn their interests into income.

You get everything you need to be able to offer private coaching, group coaching, or workshops to show entrepreneurially-inclined people viable ways for them to make money doing what they love.

This hunger for more meaningful work and for more control over one's life and time is truly universal.

To date, over 200 people have taken this program from all over the world...

Students from Singapore, Kenya, Norway, Israel, Switzerland, Australia, the UK, Barbados, Trinidad, even Kazakhstan have learned how to create a profitable add-on income stream to their existing coaching business or launch themselves into a whole new first-time business.

Without a doubt: There's plenty of room on this path. All you need is for someone to show you how.

I recently surveyed my own readers to find out their greatest challenges.

• 26.7% don't yet know what their passion is, and

• 21.7% have so many interests that they can't decide

You might think that just because a client knows what he or she loves to do, they'd be all set. Right? Wrong! Of those who know what they love to do, a whopping 89.3% said they have no idea how to monetize these interests.

Do You Hear What I Hear?
It's The Sound Of Opportunity Knocking!

This presents tremendous opportunities for coaches who are trained specifically in how to guide clients toward viable options for making money doing what they love.

The Profiting From Your Passions^® Career Coach program gives you an easy-to-use (and fun) visioning and brainstorming formula you can apply to instantly see ways your client can turn his or her love for adventure travel, reading, yoga, knitting, dogs... into a viable source of income.

Helping your clients to come up with one or more money making ideas is just the beginning. Your clients still need help turning their ideas into action.

Top challenges cited by my own readers include:

• Procrastination 80.3%

• Analysis paralysis 78%

• Lack of confidence 78%

• Fear of failure 72.9%

All of this is good news for you as a coach. After all, you're already skilled at helping clients navigate just these kinds of issues.

In fact, given the choice, 76.7% of my readers said they prefer to work with a coach who can not only help them see ways they can profit from their passions, but who can provide them with the on-going coaching they need to stay on track.

This need presents tremendous business growth potential for you. The key is understanding what these clients need most and how to help.

But if you already do some form of coaching, you may be wondering...

"How is This Different Than The
Career Coaching I Currently Offer Clients?"

I love this question! Because, before you can decide whether this is the right coaching path for you, you need to understand the difference between helping someone who wants to profit from their passion and traditional career coaching.

The #1 thing you need to know is that this training program has NOTHING whatsoever to do with skills assessments or personality profiles, job searches, resumes, interviews, or otherwise helping people make a career change within the traditional world of employment.

To the contrary...

The Profiting From Your Passions^® System is based on a unique 5-step clarifying, brainstorming, and ideation coaching protocol I design specifically to use with those clients who want to make a living without a job.

Why do you need a specific coaching model solely for people who want to do their own thing? Simple.

Traditional career counseling is primarily about helping the client make a career change within the world of employment. Fundamentally it's a process of matching a client's skills and interests to an occupation.

For a lot of people the skills matching technique works great. But it doesn't work for everyone.

For one, just because you're good at something doesn't mean you love to do it. I'm good at typing and mowing the lawn... but do I love it? Nope.

That's why when I ask a client how she or he ended up being an unhappy engineer or accountant or human resources manager, they always say the same thing: "Well, everybody said I was good at X so I should go into Y."

Two, traditional career counseling tends to operate within the bounds of familiar occupations. If someone loves to travel... or write... or wants to work with disadvantaged kids, he or she will probably be presented with occupations like travel agent, journalist, or social worker.

But what if a client came to you and said,

"I Am Passionate About Healthy Food For Dogs...
But I Also Love Speaking And Traveling.
And I Want To Be My Own Boss and Work From Home.
What Have You Got For Me?"

I've actually put this same question to half a dozen college career coaches. Every one of them was stumped. Perhaps you are too.

Let me be clear. If you are a classically trained career coach, I have no doubt that you are excellent at what you do.

You know how to use the Labor Department's Occupational Handbook. You understand the Strong Campbell Interest Inventory. You know the Meyers Briggs Personality Type Indicator. All great tools.

But if you are like 99 percent of employment-based career counselors, then no one ever showed you how to work with clients who want to break out of the job box. No one showed you how to introduce a client to things like continuity income or how to quickly create a track record or credibility in a new market.

"This course is perfect for someone who wants to harness their power of ideation. Often people can't see what is in front of them. This course offers the opportunity to shape a business around helping others help themselves and have fun with the brainstorming process." ~ Michelle Harmon

But as a Licensed Profiting From Your Passions^® Career Coach, you would know exactly how to help this client.

That's because this program is designed to give you the training and tools yto take a client's interest in say gardening, art, civil war history, or the environment and immediately see one or many viable income streams.

You also get the know-how to be able to direct a client to the resources she or he needs to take their goal to the next level.

In other words, you get everything you need to give your clients the ideas, information, and advice they need to get out of the grind of working for someone else and to profit from their passions.

Once You Master
The "Profiting From Your Passions®" Formula,
You'll See That How Much Money
You Earn Is Limited Only By
Your Own Imagination

When you sign up to be a Profiting From Your Passions® Career Coach, you'll learn how to ask one simple question that will shift your client from having a passion to actually profiting from their passion!

Again, the money part of "do what you love and the money will follow" is covered in great detail in the course.

Right now what I want you to understand is that most people think about the money source WAY too narrowly. Like you, when your clients think about generating income they probably think only in terms of prospective clients or customers.

But the way to get at the "hidden money" is to learn how to think beyond the obvious client market. Again using this very coaching specialty as an example, the question you want to ask is...

Who Else Has An Interest Or Stake In Helping Individuals Or Groups Address Career Issues?

It could be an employer or contractor, sponsor, partner, collaborator, promoter, patron, advertiser, or referrer from any one of these places or groups...

•  College Career Centers

•  Entrepreneurial programs

•  Adult education programs

•  Alumni associations

•  Parents of college grads who have still not found their calling

•  Financial planners

•  Libraries

•  Outplacement firms

•  Government agencies

The opportunities don't stop here.

Remember, you are serving people who want to be self-employed. So the other way to come at the question, "Who wants what I have?" is to ask:

Who Has A Vested Interest In Helping, Serving, Or Encouraging Small Business Owners?

For instance...

Local banks looking to lend start-up money

Chambers of Commerce looking to help their members grow their businesses

Corporate sponsors like Staples, UPS, Constant Contact, and American Express, are always looking for ways to support initiatives like conferences, webinars, contests, and other ways to get their brand in front of entrepreneurs

I'm really just scratching the surface here.

Self-employment advocate and author of Real Success Without a Real Job Ernie Zelinski estimates that his own creative thinking has already generated over a million dollars. No wonder he says creativity is "the poor person's wealth."

There's another BIG PLUS for you and your clients.

You Can Also Get Paid to Help Your
Clients Who Already Own A Business...

The Profiting From Your Passion coaching model also works beautifully with clients who already have businesses. After all, even the most capable business owners miss additional profit centers that are right in front of them. A perfect example is a woman named Gay Hughes.

Gay's dream was to open a tea room. But she knew she couldn't afford the sky-high Boston-area rents. So Gay came up with the novel idea for Gay Grace Mobile Tea Room!

About a year ago, I pulled together a team of Profiting From Your Passions^® Career Coaches to do a brainstorming session with Gay. In less than an hour they'd come up with over a dozen practical ways for Gay to profit from her passion even more. All they had to do was apply what they'd learned in this training program.

(When you register for this course, you’ll get to listen and learn from the session we did with Grace and another idea session for, of all things, a struggling worm farmer in Utah.)

Once you master this simple but powerful process you will be able to recognize income-generating opportunities that most people, even those with existing businesses, simply miss.

If you're not providing these kinds of practical solutions to your own business owner clients, you're leaving money on the table too. But...

With the Right Training and Tools
You Can Help More Clients and Attract
More Paying Clients Right Away

When you register for this training, you will be licensed to use a proven process.

In addition to instruction from me, the entire protocol is also laid out in this easy to follow written manual that includes worksheets and additional tools to boost your skills and confidence.

Your registration includes a license to use my 5 step coaching process proven to help clients identify their passions and then discover ways to monetize them.

The skills and techniques portion of the training is where you master this process.

It’s called the Profiting from Your Passions® Formula and it includes key concepts and practices like:

• Making sure whatever ideas you come up with passes the all-important “life test” by using my Life First-Work Second Approach to Career Planning©
   
• Seeing often unrecognized "assets" that sitting right under a client’s nose that can be readily turned into income
   
• How to be an "Opportunity Detective" -- including the 5 places to look for ideas for income streams
   
• The 5 forms income streams can take
   
• Knowing how to look beyond the most obvious sources of income so your client can tap into the real money potential
   
• Where and how to find the resources your clients need to move ahead
• Techniques for handling client fears, resistance, and "bad thinking" – like “I need to find an idea that is totally new and unique”
   
• How to help clients who want to pursue a passion when they have absolutely no experience or track record – techniques you can easily apply to yourself!

In a nutshell... this course will prepare you to take a client's interests and point them to the resources they need to turn a particular interest into a successful small business.

The coaching system you’ll receive is easily adaptable to a range of formats. You could offer a single 90-minute session as I do.

Or if you prefer to step back and reflect between sessions you can easily break it up into two 45 minute sessions, or three 1-hour sessions.

Or if you prefer, simply integrate the process a natural extension of your own custom designed multi-week/month coaching package. That's the beauty of this coaching system.

Once you learn it, it's infinitely adaptable to your preferred coaching style.

By the end of this training you will leave with total confidence in your ability to do this work.

You'll Learn How to Work With Clients What To Do Before, During, and After

Once you have a firm knowledge of the Profiting from Your Passions® Formula we’ll turn to how to work with clients.

This part of the training will be extensive and will include...

• How to add value to your consultations and begin helping your clients literally in the first five minutes.

• How to use the client's pre-work to prepare for the coaching session to allow you to more quickly zoom in on promising profit centers

• How to increase your confidence and effectiveness by generating a list of client questions days before you even meet. I’m not talking about cookie cutter questions. I mean questions that are unique to each client’s gifts and interests.

• Subtle, but important flags that tell you that a client is settling for less than they really want… and deserve.

• Specific ways to help a client who lacks the self-confidence to act on their dream and overcome feeling like an "impostor"

• Amazingly simple yet powerful ways to turn seemingly unrelated things you’ve somehow just "picked up" in your life into pivotal learning moments for your clients

• 25 invaluable things I "just happen to know" that I've used to change people's lives again and again... things you are welcome to "steal"

• How to quickly find key resources that can help your clients turn dreams into reality

• Specific techniques you can use to help your client develop expertise and a track record even when they have zero experience or training

 Marketing Advice to Help You
Attract Clients and Grow Your Practice

Being a great career consultant won’t mean much if you don’t have any clients. That’s why the final phase of this program is dedicated to showing you how to market yourself and otherwise attract clients – even if you hate "selling."

You’ll learn how to create what my friend Barbara Winter calls your own "Natural Monopoly." Once you understand this brilliant "non-marketing" marketing concept you will banish any fear of marketing – or rejection – forever.

Plus the course covers:

	How to find and attract clients who want what you have to offer
	Creative ways to get the word out about your practice with little or no money
	Self-promotion techniques that work even if you are an introvert
	How to establish a track record when you have zero experience
	Learn a powerful 30-second response to the question "What do you do?" that's guarantee to pique interest and referrals
	Why you don’t need an online business to find paying clients
	How to get a professionally-designed website designed for free
	How to get radio producers begging you for interviews
	How to partner with well-respected (and often overlooked) local businesses with a direct stake in sponsoring and promoting your workshops

Keep in mind too that many of the marketing essentials you’ll learn in the webinar are strategies you can easily pass along to your clients.

The live Webinar training from me is only one part of what you receive.

To get you up to speed (and earning more money) quickly you also receive additional resources that you can refer to long after the live training is complete.

Learn By Example With "Live" Recordings of 10 Actual Client Sessions

I'm a big believer in learning by example.

One reason the people who have trained with me come off like a total pro in their very first coaching session is they had the benefit of learning from 10 Client Case Study Recordings. These are full-length recordings of me working with real clients and they are included as part of the course.

You get to be a "fly on the wall" to listen in as I work with actual clients. It's your chance to experience first-hand the Profiting from Your Passion Formula in action.

This is not to say you can't interject your own "style." In fact I encourage it! It's why I included one recorded session in which one piece of information the client assumed to be totally irrelevant (but I knew instantly was not) prompted me to go totally "off script" – with amazing results!

Written Transcripts of all 10 Client Case Studies

I know some people learn better by reading. So I also had all the recordings transcribed in case you want to go back and read something later.

If you prefer to learn by reading and highlighting, you'll find these 300+ pages an invaluable resource. Plus I created a special tool to make sure you get the maximum learning value out of each case study.

"Listening And Learning From
These Live Client Sessions Is
Guaranteed To Rapidly
Accelerate Your Progression
From Gifted Helper to Paid Coach"

Let me be very clear. These are not staged role plays.

These are real clients who ask real questions and leave with real advice – advice you can easily use with your own clients. You'll even get to see the exact pre-work each client sent to me prior to our coaching session.

That way, before you ever listen to how I conducted the session, you can practice prepping with the client's assignment, just as you would if they were your own client.

Being able to both read the client's pre-work and then listen to the live coaching session where I use that information to connect the dots for the client will drastically cut your learning curve.

Some of the recordings will surprise you. Like the client who has a passion for real estate investing. Here's the rub – he's totally blind! (Wait until you hear the idea I came up with for him.)

Then there's the session I ended after just 10 minutes. Why? Because I "knew" just from reading this particular client's pre-assignment what she should be doing. And my attitude is why waste her money or my time?

I don't mean to brag. But the fact of the matter is over the years I really have perfected this "formula" for helping people see how they can turn their interests into income. And I am only too happy to share it with you.

To shorten the learning curve and start earning money faster, you'll get the benefit of hearing me follow this formula to a "T."  

Customizable Business Operations Templates on CD

So often new coaches say to me, “Just give me the words.”

So I did – word for word.

As part of your training you receive a “script” you can use when a prospective client calls to quickly and easily get them to say yes to working with you

You’ll also get a script that covers the best way to kick off and wrap up each consulting session

And to make sure everything flows, you get my recommended session agenda complete with a Coaching Session Agenda "Cheat Sheet" and working script.

And to get your new coaching specialty up and running fast, the course includes all client email communication (appointment confirmation email, follow-up email, client testimonial request email, service inquiry emails) as well as forms (client information forms, Audio Taping Release Form, etc.) at the push of a button.

All scripts, forms, and email templates are included in a format that you can easily modify to fit your practice and voice.

What I just described is the Intensive Basic Training – intensive because you get everything you need in a compressed 16 hour training period.

If you already have an established coaching practice and are adding Profiting from Your Passions® coaching as an additional offering…

Or, if you’re taking this course as a staff member/employee of a university or other career counseling center…

Or, if you’re simply a self-starter who wants to take the ball and run with it…

Then the Intensive Basic Training will give you everything you need to help a client see practical ways they can make money doing what they love.

I Know How Important It Is To Start
Earning Income As Quickly As Possible

That's why you have the option to upgrade from the Basic Intensive to a fast-track program.

It's called the "Inner Circle." And in addition to additional training opportunities and resources it also offers you an additional level of access to me and connection with other coaches.

As a member of the Profiting From Your Passions^® Coaches Inner Circle you have the opportunity to attend live meet-ups with like-minded souls

In the past I've hosted intimate gatherings of coaches for cook outs, brunches and other coach meet-ups held in my home.

These kinds of personal connections have forged powerful friendships and collaborations. More than four years later, many of these coaches continue to meet and talk regularly.

You don't have to attend live meet-ups to regularly connect with other coaches or with me...

Monthly Access to Me

As a member of the Inner Circle version of the Profiting From Your Passions^® Career Coach you automatically have the opportunity to check in with me every month on special Coach-Only Q & A calls.

This is where you can:

• Ask specific questions about the course, key concepts, or materials

• Brainstorm marketing niches

• Get my opinion on marketing ideas 

• Get feedback from me and the group

I Am Going to Do Everything I Can to
Help You Get Your First Paying Clients

One reason why people fail is they try to learn on their own. Then they get overwhelmed or they lose their nerve and they quit before ever even starting.

That’s not going to happen here..

After you’ve gone through the class and gotten the hang of the consulting techniques, I’m going to provide structured opportunities for you to practice your new skills.

To make sure you master the Profiting from Your Passions® process quickly and easily, Inner Circle members have access to two additional study and practice options.

For one, you’ll have the option to participate in a small Tele-study group with other students going through the program.

That way you can review, discuss, and learn from all of the client case studies without having to integrate them all on your own.

This is also your chance to work 1-1 with another student to practice doing a client intake or conducting an entire mock laser brainstorming session.

There’s more.

When it comes to learning something new you have to “use it or lose it.”

The people who get clients faster are the people who start using their new found knowledge and skills as quickly as possible.

You could go out and get practice clients on your own. In fact, I actively encourage you to do just that.

I also know human nature. And this is an important step that can all too easily be added to the “I’ll get to it” list.

Time goes by and your skills get rusty and you start to lose your confidence.

Not this time.

I’m So Confident In The Quality Of This
Training That I’m Willing To Go Out On A Big Limb for You

As you know, over 25,000 subscribe to my newsletter.

Once the study groups are done, I will be promoting the opportunity for my readers to schedule a free individual consulting appointment with my new crack team of Profiting from Your Passions® Career Coaches.

Working with practice clients will give you valuable experience.

But it will give you something else as well... experience and credibility.

That’s because after your session, your practice client will receive a follow-up evaluation from me. On it will be the opportunity to talk about you and how they benefited from the session.

That means you’ll have your first client testimonial that you can proudly place on your website or other marketing materials. Evidence that you indeed do have experience!

It would be impossible for me to "guarantee" I’ll be able to generate clients for you. But I can promise that I will try my hardest to generate initial business for you – business that all begins with that first successful client session.

"My Success Is Your Success"

As a member of the Inner Circle, you are also signing up to leverage my contacts to help grow your business.

 

Plus I've had the pleasure of working or networking with some of the most successful marketing experts on the planet. People like Gary Vaynerchuk, Yanik Silver, Ali Brown, Jeff Walker, Ryan Lee, Mari Smith, Andrew Locke, Tim Kerber, Mike Filsaime, Eban Pagan, and Stephen Beck.

I'm not telling you about my high powered connections to impress you..

I'm telling you because I want you to understand that when you opt into the Intensive Basic Profiting From Your Profits® Career Coach System PLUS the Inner Circle, you are getting more than a comprehensive training program.

For example, in the past two years alone I've created four different opportunities for my coaches to attend pricey marketing seminars. These are the same seminars others paid as much as $3,500 to attend -- and I got them in for FREE.

They not only received invaluable marketing training for free, they also got the opportunity to meet potential paying clients.

For starters I have a tremendous training, networking and meet up opportunity you can tap into immediately.

When you register for the Inner Circle version you also get a free pass to marketing powerhouse and friend Suzanne Evans upcoming live event.

It’s called Be the Change.

And when you attend this March 29-31 in Orlando, Florida you’ll join me and hundreds of other coaches, healers, and others many of whom are just starting out who’ve come together to learn marketing strategies from someone who in 3 years, went from being a secretary to making 7 figures

Suzanne’s brilliance is showing people how to help more people and to make a good living doing it.

Here are some photos from a coach meet up at the first Be the Change marketing training event in 2010:

Coaches at Suzanne Evan's "Be The Change" marketing event in Florida

In addition to a free ticket, you also receive incredible exposure by hosting the Changing Course booth at the expo.

Travel and other details are at BetheChangeEvent.com

Suffice it to say though that if you paid for this event on your own it would cost $2,495.

But, as part of the Inner Circle, your registration is free.

All Suzanne requires is a $197 deposit which will be refunded when you arrive at the event in Orlando.

Coaches at Ryan Lee's Continuity Summit in Connecticut

At Ryan Lee's Continuity Summit, coaches learned about how they and their clients can create a recurring income stream otherwise known as continuity income.

At Yanik Silver's Underground Marketing Seminar 6, three lucky coaches got the chance to learn from and network with some of the most successful internet entrepreneurs on the planet! And as on-site "Idea Detectives" it was a win-win for everyone!

Two things I need to make clear here. The first is that every year is going to be different.

Meaning there is no way I can promise what kind of opportunities I will be able to create for coaches in the future. What I can promise is that whenever I work with high-profile contacts, I will always keep your interests in mind.

Second, I understand that not everyone can travel to live events -- even free ones.

That's why I instituted the requirement that those who had the luxury of attending a live event share what they learned with other coaches via a recorded roundtable discussion.

These invaluable recordings are automatically available to you as a member of the Inner Circle. You see...

You're Not Just Learning a New Specialty,
You're Tapping into the Collective Wealth of a
Whole New "Tribe" of Kindred Spirits

If you choose to upgrade your registration to include the  Intensive Basic Profiting From Your Profits® Career Coach System PLUS the Inner Circle, then the moment you register you will have the opportunity to meet and network with coaches from all over the world at the password protected Inner Circle Networking Site.

This is where you can go to:

	Join small Tele-study and Mastermind groups with other coaches
	Collaborate with other coaches to co-create seminars, information products, or other business-building activities

 

The Comfort of Knowing You Can Tap Into
An Endless Flow of Ideas For Your Clients!

The Profiting From Your Passions^® Inner Circle Networking Site is where Steve Coxsey goes when he needs ideas.

One of Steve's client had a powerful passion for adventure travel. The client was about to embark on a cross-country bike ride and Steve needed ideas for sponsors and other ways his client could generate income both to fund his trip and along the way.

Over the next few days eight coaches, including me, jumped in to help! Here's a much abbreviated synopsis of their posts:

	Catherine suggested Steve's client take a page out of the play book of the authors of Walk Across America who sold the idea to National Geographic magazine who fronted the money in advance.
	In addition to selling ad space on a blog, Craig also recommended Steve's client put sponsors' logos on his bike and luggage. Craig also came up with a way the client could charge others to be a tour guide along the way.
	Tony chimed in from the UK to suggest ways Steve's client could profit from creating a photo journal as well as some ideas for generating money doing various seasonal jobs working in the great outdoors.
	Bonnie P. suggested ways Steve's client could work with a local newspaper to provide a series of articles about his adventures. She also saw opportunities to work with local TV stations to submit short video interviews or travel segments along the way.
	The idea of a video blog got technology lover Rich excited! He offered Steve's client some helpful recommendations for high quality but inexpensive video cameras as well as a useful app for filing a story from a smart phone. Rich also kicked in half a dozen additional sponsor ideas.
	Bonnie came up with the idea of tying the trip to a charitable cause and offered numerous ways to make this work.
	Jillian threw in the novel idea of going directly to cycling enthusiasts for small cash donations, a portion of which could be donated to a charity that provides free bikes to people in developing countries.

And I tossed in a few "how to" resources too. For instance:

• To help Steve's client find his voice, I suggested a neat book called "Naked Lens: Video Blogging & Video Journaling to Reclaim the YOU in YouTube."

• I also encouraged him to check out a wonderful step-by-step guide I feature on my "Cool Jobs" page at ChangingCourse.com on how to set up and lead tours for profit

• I turned him onto the Adventure Travel Association

• And told him about a very cool web site where artists, inventors and others can go to raise money for their projects.

A very appreciative Steve got some great ideas for his client. And a very lucky client got a far bit closer to realizing his dream of being able to profit from his passion. All because of a caring and generous coach community.

It's so fun to bring a question to this group and see what happens!  ~ Steve Coxsey

The forum is great for support - if you find yourself getting stuck just post about it.  In no time you'll have someone to help you get re-started.  Have fun! ~ Bonnie Taylor Wachowicz

The appreciation I have for this community is hard to fully articulate. For starters, here I don't feel like an outcast for having such a curvy career path (corporate copywriter, hospice chaplain, park ranger, and some other twists). Here, being a multi-faceted renaissance soul is a celebrated norm, and I love the way that positive shift feels. I'm excited to journey with you and the rest of our PFYP family in that fiery mission. ~ Erika Harris

When you join the Coaches Inner Circle, the Profiting From Your Passions^® Social Networking Site is just one way you will be supported. There's more...

Being "Seen and Heard" Just Got Easier!

By now I hope you see that I go out of my way to leverage my relationships to help you grow your practice. That also includes my media contacts.

Thanks to my referral, a participant who attended my 2008 live training was featured in Psychology Today magazine. They even sent a photographer to do a photo shoot! How cool is that!

There's more. Every week dozens of people -- most of them coaches -- contact me about reprinting their article in the Changing Course Newsletter. Why wouldn't they? With a subscriber list of 23,000 they know they'll be getting a lot of exposure!

Obviously my first priority is to my readers. So anything I include in my newsletter must add value to their lives in some way.

That said, when you choose to upgrade to the Profiting From Your Passions^® Coaches Inner Circle, any qualified guest articles you submit for inclusion in the Changing Course Newsletter will automatically have priority status. One reprint alone can result in a sizable bump to your own mailing list!

"Of all the programs and courses I have purchased, there is no one who continues to deliver more than promised well after the program is over like Valerie..." ~ Glenna Bailey, Chandler, AZ

The Bottom line: I am committed to your success and constantly looking for ways to support you in building your business.

I hope I've done a good job explaining how powerful this course really is. But I don't want my voice to be the only one you hear. As the Sufi Philosopher Rumi wrote...

"When Setting Out on a Journey,
Never Consult Someone
Who Has Never Left Home."

Currently I have dozens of coaches on tape talking about their experience taking this course. Some attended the Teleclass version, others a live program, and still others took a previously offered self-paced option.

Here, in their own words, is a small sampling of course graduates talking about their experience taking the Profiting From Your Passions^® Career Coach System. Note: Don't be surprised if you hear many refer to it as the "Outside of the Job Box" or "Creative Career Coach Certification Program" as it was previously known.

If You Do What You Love,
Will The Money Really Follow?

You and your clients have no doubt heard the refrain author Marcia Sinetar made famous...

"Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow"

It sounds great. But unless you understand where the money comes from, it's a lot easier said than done. Which is exactly why a central component of this work is understanding how to handle the "money question."

Remember the example of the client who had a passion for finding healthy food for dogs, traveling, and speaking? Meet "dog chef" Micki Voissard.

In addition to teaching cooking classes at her '40s style diner, consulting with dog owners over the phone, hosting her own radio show and selling her cookbook, Micki regularly travels to speak at fundraisers for dog rescue and other dog related organizations.

It all comes down to thinking outside of the job box! The same goes for doing this work...

The obvious place to generate income with Profiting From Your Passion Career Coaching is by working directly with clients. You can...

Work With Individual Clients

• Do one-time laser brainstorming sessions over the phone, in person or if you like entirely by email

• Offer a multi-week/month coaching program

Work With Groups

• The Profiting From Your Passion coaching model is easily adaptable small group coaching -- either in person or by phone

• If you enjoy teaching you can also do live presentations and workshops

I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. But what you may not know is that there are lots of other "outside of the box" ways to make money as a Licensed Profiting From Your Passions^® coach.

Central to the Profiting From Your Passion formula is making sure that whatever ideas you generate for your clients pass what I call, "The Life Test." It's something that defines me and my business as well.

For example, I love my home with the view. I could sit and gaze out at the cows in the adjoining pasture for hours... I also missed working with people more directly.

So after holding dozens of workshops in large impersonal hotel ballrooms, I decided to work with small groups here in my home. People from as far away as Mexico, Quebec , Alaska, California, and Texas plunked down up to $1500 to attend a Profiting From Your Passions^®Retreat and Workshop here in my home in rural Western Massachusetts.

Then last April seven change seekers joined me for my first international workshop retreat in Ecuador. You can’t go to South American and sit in a seminar room all day. So half the day was dedicated to learning, to discussing, to brainstorming, and finally to creating a personal plan for turning one or more interests into income. The other half was spent engaging our other senses by touring the local area.

I had a blast and I felt like I'd changed lives in the process. The entire experience captured something Katherine Graham said, which was: "To do what you love, and to feel like it matters. What could be more fun?"

I love what Coco Channel said:

"There Are People Who Have Money and
There Are People Who Are Rich."

There are lots of ways to be rich. One is to be rich in experiences. For example, a few years ago I was invited to speak at a seminar for people who wanted to learn about travel writing and travel photography... in Paris!

I not only got the chance to meet and hang out with fascinating people from all over the world, but I spent five fabulous days in the City of Light.

Then, a year later, I got another invitation. This time from International Living magazine. They wanted me to speak at a conference in Panama for people who want to live abroad.

Why would International Living magazine want a Profiting From Your Passion Career Coach to speak at their conference? Simple. As a non-citizen, it's next to impossible to legally get a job in another country. But starting a small business is relatively easy.

Ex pats are a great niche!

Other Profiting From Your Passions^® coaches are actively working with niche markets like:

	Retiring military personnel
	Military spouses who need a portable income
	Hollywood directors, producers, actors, and technicians needing flexible ways to make money between gigs
	"Recovering" attorneys

You see your creativity is the fuel that will make you -- and your clients' -- money. When you get right down to it... it's all about putting the power of "multiple income streams" to work for you.

Really, the question you should be asking is not how much money can I make. The real question is, "How much money do I have to lose by not offering Profiting From Your Passion Career Coaching?

"I have been doing career coaching for ten years and Valerie has a unique approach and she has some of the pieces I didn't have... and I wanted to use get the creative pieces [Valerie has]. It's awesome. I have a PhD in adult education and I know when I see good training, and this is good training." ~ Ann Ronan, San Juan Capistrano, CA

"What Is My Investment To Add This
New Profit Center to My Business?"

Your investment to become a Licensed Profiting From Your Passions^® Career Coach is surprising low. Especially when you consider that there are no royalties to be paid on any future business you conduct.

In the past, participants have paid $3,000-$4,000 to enroll in the Teleclass versions of this program. Others attended a live 5 day program at a cost of $8,500. Because this course is virtual, it won't cost you anywhere near that.

"You truly continue to over-deliver... My business is steadily growing and I can see a huge leap about to occur as I launch another "profit center" thanks to your materials, classes and leadership! You really have put together a package that works. Keep up the great work and inspiration!" ~ Teresa Proudlove, Vernon, BC

Whichever program you choose, I want to make this special training and business opportunity as affordable as possible.

So instead of paying the whole amount up front, I've set up a special installment plan. Naturally that involves a modest administration fee, but it makes it more doable for people on a budget.

Most Of Us, Like The Assembly Line Worker,
Have Jobs That Are Too Small For Our Spirit."
