Moving my Coaching Business Online

July 27, 2008

I have been pondering this question for quite some time, especially how to do it. My special interest is in helping people move from where they are now to where they want to [ realize their dreams] whether these aspirations are personal or business. I do know after coaching a few entrepreneurs who have businesses that often the best place to start is with the individual’s mindset. Get this sorted out and then real effective change can occur quite quickly. Most issues seem to arise from lack of a decent plan and poor marketing.

Marketing is the key to getting my business online – after I have defined what it is that I need to focus on [initially at least].

These two lessons were repeated time and again by most of the ‘gurus’ who spoke at the World Internet Summit’ here in Auckland N.Z. last week. Pretty much like the Law of Attraction in action!

So, it is time to start putting the correct building blocks in place so that I can reach more people and help more people through the power of the world wide web.

I am learning new stuff very day – like Yaro Starak who has a successful blog that provides him with a steady income – he has some great tutorial videos and has produced an excellent e book [ free] on what to do. You can check that out at www.entrepreneurs-journey.com

The question remains at this point whether to focus purely on blogging or to have a web site with a blog also.

I am getting advice from a successful SEO expert on this next week and so my journey begins. One great piece of advice given at the seminar was to get a mentor – advice that I am taking this time. I have spent too much time and money trying o do it all myself and the results speak for themselves! As a coach I should know that!

So, watch this space as I begin my journey – I’ll do my best to regularly update the process – my own journey.

Just like the Mythology/Metaphor workshop I embarked on a few weeks ago – getting in touch with and noticing my ’shadow’ – now my shadow is ‘out there’ and its voice has much less power than it used to!

World Internet Summit Auckland New Zealand July 17 -20 2008

July 21, 2008

What a blast!
This is the world’s biggest internet event – hosted by Brett McFall ‘The Simplifier’ and Tom Hua ‘The Viral Marketing Guy’.
The line up of guest speakers in addition to Brett and Tom were; Ewen Chia, Shaune Clarke, Sean Roach, Michel and Sylvie Fortin, Dr Mike Woo-Ming and Brian ‘Koz’ Kosobucki, Paul Easton [SEO expert from NZ],Gail Bottomley [also from NZ], Adam Ginsberg , Debra Thompson Roedl and Alan Forrest Smith.
The content from all speakers was fantastic – and many released new product to the public for the very first time! We were truly privileged!
With two speakers from NZ for the first time – watch out world – we’re catching up fast!
The final address by Brett McFall included an offer like no other, my friend jumped at the opportunity to hopefully be included in this special 12 month mentoring programme.
And without any doubt all attendees were mightily impressed with the ’secrets’, ‘tips’ & marketing information together with a strong dose of ‘coaching’ to help us on the way to our own individual success.
Videos of the Sydney event are now available – including resell rights – more details will be posted on my web site very soon. These are a highly valuable resource and will prove their worth time and time again. If you with to just purchase for your own library – then, yeah – go for it.
I’ll post a URL where you can get them soon – or leave a comment if you are interested and I’ll speed the process up for you!
W.I.S. has now been to 15 countries and there have been 30 events so far – next one coming up soon is in London.
