FALL 2009 REGISTRATIONValerie Young's Outside of the Box Careers "Passions into Profits" Coach Training & Business Quick Start ProgramEnrollment is LimitedImagine... In Just a Few Short Months You Could Be Well on Your Way to Earning Money Helping Other People Discover Creative Ways to Profit From Their Passions...Dear "Outside-the-Box" Thinker, You probably have a lot of questions about my Outside of the Box Career Coach Training Program (soon to be renamed Passions into Profits Coach Training). The #1 thing you need to know is that this unique program has NOTHING to do with helping clients get a job... prepare their resumθ... nail the interview... advance in their career... or otherwise succeed in the traditional the world of employment. To the contrary... This Is The First And The Only Career Coach Training Program Designed To:
To help you decide whether to register for one of the limited number of spots in the Fall 2009 training, I've put together some FAQs to cover your most burning questions everything from who is Valerie Young to what's included in the course to how much can I earn... and more... QUESTION: Who Is Valerie Young and What Qualifies Her to Train People to Do This Work? Allow me to introduce myself to those who may not know me. I'm the Dreamer in Residence at ChangingCourse.com. Beginning in 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 23,000 people and my career change advice has been cited around the world in places like...
Not included on this list is my interview with More magazine or Grazia (India edition), Psychology Today, WPIX Channel 11 New York, and many others... Plus, I've spoken on the topic of "How To Feel As Bright And Capable As Everyone Seems To Think You Are" to over 30,000 people from such diverse organizations as Intel, Chrysler, Procter & Gamble, Boeing, UBS, American Women in Radio and Television, and Society of Women Engineers, as well as to over 40 major colleges and universities including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Cal Tech, and Duke... just to name a few. And I'm both elated and grateful to tell you that I've also signed a six-figure book deal with Crown Publishing, a division of Random House
I've also had the great privilege of working with two of the most inspiring and successful career and self-employment 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 (Making a Living Without a Job). Together the three of us delivered a fabulous 4-day workshop and retreat that I produced called Making Dreams Happen. The event sold-out and I made friends for life. I've also had the chance to meet some pretty amazing people as well as to "mastermind" with some of the most successful entrepreneurs around... People like Carrie Wilkerson, Bernadette Doyle, Jeff Walker, Yanik Silver, Ryan Lee, Andrew Locke, Stephen Beck, and many more... And in a few weeks I'll be traveling to Los Angeles to be one of an intimate 10-person private brainstorming session with billionaire and social entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson! I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but I want you to understand that when you sign up to train using my program, you are also signing up to leverage my contacts to help grow your business. For now what you need to know is that after a 7 year stint in the corporate training and marketing departments of a Fortune 200 company, I've been studying creative career change and entrepreneurship for well over a decade devouring every book and seminar I could. But along with being an avid learner, I'm also an educator with a doctorate in adult education from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Honestly, I never mention my degree in my work at ChangingCourse.com. Why? Because I know some people look for any excuse not to pursue their dreams. These are the ones who will see "Dr. Valerie Young" and say, "See it's easy for her because she has this fancy degree. But it would never work for me." It's total nonsense of course. The fact of the matter is, I could be doing exactly what I am now with no college degree what so ever. But I understand that change is a scary thing which is why when we get too close to our dreams we sometimes unconsciously throw up roadblocks. And one of these inner obstacles is the fear of not being "credentialed" enough to start your own business. Maybe you're worried about the same thing. You needn't be... Since 2007 I've trained over 125 from all over the world including Norway, Singapore, Australia, Barbados, Kenya, the United Kingdom, Kazakstan, and of course, Canada and the US. Without a doubt: There's plenty of room on this path. All you need is for someone to show you how. QUESTION: How is this different than other career or coach training programs? First off, if you're looking for traditional, job-focused career coach training this program is definitely NOT for you. Why? Because the goal of traditional career coaching is to help your clients choose or change careers within the confines of working for someone else. Just walk into any career center private, university, government run and you'll find all the help you need to do a job search, craft a resumθ, or prepare for an interview. That's because the entire emphasis is on getting a job. But ask these career counselor's what they suggest to someone who wants to help people live healthier lives, loves to make people laugh, wants to earn six figures, and would like to spend summers in Greece... and 99.9 percent of them will look at you like you have two heads! This training is specifically designed to show you how to work with people who either want to be their own boss or who already have a business and are looking for ideas for additional profit centers. Plus, traditional career counseling tends to revolve around skills assessments and personality profiles. My course does not. That's because I'm not particularly interested in what a person is "good" at. I mean I'm good at typing and mowing the lawn, but that doesn't mean I want to do either for a living. Being an Outside the Job Box Career Consultant/Passions into Profits Coach is all about helping people who, like you, want to do their own thing. Likewise, the materials you receive will not teach you to become a general "life coach." Don't get me wrong. There's absolutely no reason why you can't offer your clients ongoing coaching to help them keep their dream on track. But this program will not train you to be a coach. If that's what you're looking for, I can refer you to some excellent coach training programs. Coaches typically work with clients over a period of several months, even years. I work with people on a one-time basis. That's because I have a laser-like focus on one goal and one goal only. Helping people see how they can turn their passions into profits. You may decide to structure your practice to offer multiple sessions (and frankly you'll make more money if you do). But 99 percent of my clients tell me they got exactly what they needed in just one session. The other difference between a consultant and a coach is that, generally speaking, the job of a life coach is to guide people to discover their own answers. But the way I see it, if my clients already knew how to make a living doing what they love they wouldn't be calling me! People hire me because they want expert advice. They also want someone who knows about resources for people who want to start a doggie day care or become a motivational speaker or have a flair for home design or become a travel writer... You'll learn how 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. At the same time, this kind of work is not for everyone. So before you spend time reviewing the nuts and bolts of the training program or your hard-earned money you need to make sure this is the right path for you. QUESTION: Is this the right path for you? Well, let's talk about that. Let me ask you this...
If that describes you, then I bet people love talking with 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 just, well... comes naturally to you I'll bet. It does to me, too. So we already share that in common. Now I'd like to show you how you can share in my success as well. Maybe you already have a coaching or counseling 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 providing career consulting with or running workshops to help people see how they can turn their passions into profits?" Since launching Changing Course in 1995, I've heard from literally hundreds of people who would love to be doing what I do: "I've spent much time trying to find my own calling, and I realized that what I really like to do is help other people realize their dreams." ~ Jean "I get so excited when other people have great ideas. In fact, it's not uncommon for me to jump right in and provide some sort of support (just for fun!) to help them get their ideas off the ground." ~ Annie But this decision is really all about you...
When you register you are really signing up for the chance to finally realize your dream of working when, where, and how you want. As long as you have a computer, a phone, and a pad and pen, you can operate your business from virtually anywhere in the world.
As importantly, you will gain the deep satisfaction of knowing that the work you do matters... And that is truly priceless.
And if all this weren't enough, the work you will be training to do to brainstorm all of the delightful and interesting ways there are for your clients to turn the things they love to do into income is energizing and fun!
Before I go any further, I want to be sure I've made a couple of things clear right up front... Quite simply, I do NOT want you to sign up for this course if it isn't right for you... If you've read this far, I think it's safe to assume you're intrigued. And that's great. But I want to be 100 percent sure this is the right fit for you. The last thing I want to do is to "sell" you into this program if: a) You don't have a genuine passion for this kind of work, and b) You aren't yet ready to start down the path to self-employment. Let me be perfectly clear here. You do NOT need to already be a coach, have a website, or currently work in the career advising world to be in this program. I'll help you with all that. The information you're going to receive with this course will benefit anyone with a passion and knack for brainstorming creative ways to make a living. The other thing you need to understand is that no training program is going to magically generate income. If you buy these materials because you expect this work to allow you to spend your days lounging by the pool peeling grapes while eager clients line up to throw money at you, do yourself and me a big favor and stop reading right now. Why? It's not because I'm worried that you'll be disappointed. You will be. There's no question. The reason I don't want the get-rich-quick types who are constantly flailing about for some "fast and easy" way to change course is that frankly you'd make a really lousy coach. Your clients are paying you to be both a dreamer and a realist. And you have to realize that any dream takes three things: Desire + Time + Effort. If you don't understand that simple formula, then you'll do a disservice to your clients and tarnish my good name in the process. I only want people to be Outside the Job Box Career Experts if they are willing to turn business away. You read that right. To be good at this kind of work, you have to be willing to turn business away. Why? Because sooner or later you're going to hear from some prospective client who is at the end of their financial rope. And they're going to be desperate for you to tell them how they can replace their salary... tomorrow. But that's impossible. My goal in sharing these materials with you is to help you become the very best Passions into Profits Coach you can possibly be. So, if you are ready to roll up your sleeves... if you are ready to put in the same effort you're going to expect your clients to do... then you are one of "my people." You see, I only want to work with people who have big dreams and are willing to work for them. One more thing... You not only have to want to help other people to profit from their passions you have to want to profit from your own passion for doing this kind of work as well. Which brings me to the next question you may be wondering... Question: How much money can I make? Even if legally I were allowed to speculate on your projected earnings (which I'm not), I wouldn't pretend to know how much you will personally earn. There are just way too many variables and options involved in a business like this to speculate. You might think being unable to nail down a specific dollar figure up front is a bad thing. Trust me, it's not. As someone who now brings in close to six times my former corporate salary, let me tell you having lots of options is a very good thing. Why? Because options = opportunity. Think about it... In a j-o-b, someone else decides how much you're "worth." Unless you are in a commissioned sales position, no matter how hard you work, or how long your commute is, or how many overtime hours you take from your life and give to your employer your paycheck is exactly the same. The beauty of working for yourself is that you are in control. In control of your time, in control of your schedule, and ultimately in control of your earnings... You get to decide things like...
Don't worry if you can't answer these questions right now. You'll receive all the tools you need to design the perfect business model for you in your materials. As your own "changing course vision" starts to become clear, you'll be able to answer the "How much can I earn?" question for yourself. That's because, as part of your course, you'll learn an easy way to project your own future earnings based on what you want your life and your bank account to look like. When I started out, I charged my clients $85 for a 90-minute session. My current fee is $250. To figure out how much you can earn, figure out how much you want to charge then multiply the number of clients you can and want to see each week. It's the same with workshops. Decide how many you think can realistic run in a year and what you can charge. As a ballpark, one consultant made $200 doing a 2-hour seminar that was paid for by her local library. Others have charged on an individual basis anywhere from $30 per person on up. Of course that does not include workshop attendees who then decide to become private clients or sales of books, CDs, and other value-added materials from the back of the room. When you work for yourself... how much you earn is limited only by your own imagination. You see I happen to think that you aren't just starting a business here you're creating a whole new life. You will learn how to set up your business so it fits you, your desired lifestyle, your financial goals, and your personal style. 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, but how much do you have to lose by not profiting from your own passion? QUESTION: What's included in the training program? The Outside the Job Box/Passions into Profits Coach Training Program consists of two components: Part 1 is the actual coach training. Here's what you get... |
| Hear What Others Had to Say Listen to the rave reviews from a few of the folks who’ve been through the Teleclass version of this program. |
Basically, I'm sharing with you all my proprietary materials. Except unlike a franchise, this business start up program is designed so you can customize them to fit your voice, style, practice, and clients.
I'm giving you my own "Blueprint for Success." This 200+ page manual lays out for you in writing everything you need to know and do to provide an excellent service to your clients.
It's the Changing Course Formula© in black-and-white.
Creative ideas for viable businesses are literally all around you if you know where and how to look, that is. You'll find out the key to identifying the very best ones... and the simple, but highly effective, trick to turning complaints into cash.
I'll give you permission to use my fool-proof Changing Course Formula© including the 5 Places to Find Income-Generating Ideas to use with your clients. Once you start to see how many interesting ways there are to make a living without a job, your mind will quickly begin to translate opportunity into income.
The Changing Course Formula© makes it easy. And turns what may seem a daunting task helping people who aren't sure what they want to do figure out how to make a living at what they love into one that's engaging, fun, and incredibly effective.
You'll learn...
Proven strategies to help your clients see how they can turn their interests into income. By the end of this program you'll be armed with techniques to help your clients see opportunities they would have never thought of on their own.
How to add value to your consultations and begin helping your clients literally in the first five minutes.
Hone your creativity and problem-solving skills through actual case studies from my own years of practice these actual cases make great teaching tools you can reference with your own clients.
Discover literally hundreds of creative ways to make a living without a job examples you can use with your own clients again and again.
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.
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.
How to quickly find key resources that can help your clients turn dreams into reality.
Specific techniques you use can use to help your client develop expertise and a track record even when they have zero experience or training.
The one simple question that can significantly widen income-generating opportunities for your clients (and yourself!) I can't emphasize enough how the impact these four little words can have on expanding opportunities and generating significantly far more income.
And much more...
I'm a big believer in learning by example. That's why, as part of this course, you'll receive recordings of live sessions I have personally conducted with actual clients. You'll be able to be a "fly on the wall" and listen in as I work with clients so you can see first-hand the Changing Course Formula© in action.
These are not staged role plays. These are real clients who came to me looking for practical advice on how they could take the things they already love to do and turn them into small business ideas. These real clients asked real questions and left with real advice advice you can easily use with your own clients.
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 you'll hear 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 blow my own horn, yet the fact of the matter is over the years I really have perfected this "formula" for helping people see how they can turn their passions into profits. And I am only too happy to share it with you.
Listening and learning from these live client sessions will rapidly accelerate your progression from gifted helper to paid advisor.
And, because some people learn better when they see things in writing, you'll also receive written transcripts of all of these CD's. So if you prefer to learn by reading and highlighting, you'll find these 300+ pages an invaluable resource.
There's more to running a business like this than advising clients or running workshops. You also need to understand the operational side of the business.
That's why, in addition to mastering the consulting techniques, you'll also learn such things as:
Talking to prospective clients You'll have a script so you will know exactly what to say when a prospective client calls to encourage them to make an appointment (Hint: there is no "selling" involved whatsoever.)
New Client Intakes The most efficient way to conduct a new client intake to avoid future questions or confusion
Sometimes it's the little things that keep you crawling when you could be sprinting.
When you sign up for the Outside the Job Box/Passions into Profits Coach Training Program, you'll receive a number of tools to help you get your new business up and running faster. Tools like...
My Specially Designed and Proven Intake and Outcome Form You'll have just what you need to capture key information both before and during a consulting session.
Personal Client Interviewing Scripts When you have worked with as many clients as I have, you start to figure out what words work and don't work. That is why I'm even going to share with you my personal "scripts" that you can use with your clients to help you along when you first start with your clients. You are free to tweak them as you gain experience and confidence. The key is when you are first starting out in a business like this, having "the words" right in front of you, will help you breathe easier and jumpstart your confidence when getting into this work.
Plus You'll Receive My Proven Invaluable Templates of FAQs At the push of a button you'll have answers to the most frequently asked questions. Having these questions up front will save you gobs of time, and you will be able to answer prospective client's questions faster, easier and effort free, so you can spend your own time more wisely on other aspects of your new business.
You could start your coaching sessions from nothing, slowly trying to pull things out of a client who may have given surprisingly little thought to the things they love.
Or you can kick off each and every session with a client who has literally done his or her homework.
You'll be able to offer each of your clients password-protected access to a complimentary copy of my 100+ page book, Find Your Calling: The Handbook for People Who Still Don't Know What They Want to Be When They Grow Up. 
Find Your Calling makes ideal pre-work to help your clients (and you) prepare for their consulting session.
There are lots of exercises in Find Your Calling. The biggest advantage is that I've narrowed the client assignment down to two very specific exercises plus another one you won't find in the eBook. Getting this pre-work in advance and knowing what to do when you get it, is a powerful way to offer your clients a top notch coaching experience right from the start.
And for the entire first year of your business you can use Find Your Calling with as many of your paying clients as you like, as often as you like.
The hardcopy version of this book sells on Amazon for $24.95. The electronic version is not available for purchase separately at any price.
However, with your exclusive product licensing agreement you'll have unlimited access to use the electronic (eBook) version of Find Your Calling with your clients for one year. Having a tool like this available any time you need it is a great way to kick off your new business.
If you decide to continue to license this handy tool for use with your clients after the second year, you may do so for an additional 12 months at a special discounted rate of only $29 per month. That means that for less than the cost of a moderately priced dinner, you'll get continued access to an incredible tool at an incredible price!
I don't want to overwhelm you here, but when I said you would get all of the tools you need to be a great Passions into Profits Coach, I meant it. When you register, you will also receive:
You Get Fully Customizable Templates You Can Edit Any Way You Like
All the scripts, forms, and email templates I use are included in a format you can work with. You'll get everything on one CD that way you can customize them to fit your voice, style, practice, and clients needs.

I'm going to arrange for you to have 2 practice clients. You'll get actual hands on experience doing everything from conducting the initial Client Intake, communicating with the client about their pre-work assignment, preparing for the session, using the client's pre-work to actually conducting the brainstorming session, and then doing the follow up.
This is where the course will come to life for you it's where everything you've learned about the Changing Course Formula©... about where to find information and resources the client needs... and about the techniques for working with clients... will all unfold...
Conducting these initial practice sessions will also give you a huge confidence boost! Especially after you read all of the great things your clients have to say about you!
We've created a special client feedback system that allows you to get reviews from your practice clients. Here are just a few of the many testimonials people enrolled in the previous courses received from their practice clients:
"Arthurine, you are a truly gifted and amazing Outside the Job Box career consultant! I deeply appreciate my consultation, and I am looking forward to moving forward to some of the ideas you gave me. Thanks a million!!"
"I believe Craig really will be good at being a full time consultant, and recommend him to others for a great job. I enjoyed working with him, and look forward to emailing him with my future career expansions!"
"Michelle is great! She has a lot of enthusiasm and that gave me energy. She is very easy to talk with. She also offered some good ideas, and seems to really care about what she is doing."
"The session was exactly what I've been looking for a long time. I've met with several career coaches, but this is the first time I felt I got worthwhile feedback. It was a great experience... the process doesn't consider what you're good at, but rather what you love. And what could be better than doing what you love and getting paid for it. Gail, I think you'll be enormously successful in this field."
This is a terrific way to gain real-world experience. Plus you'll receive your first client testimonials to put on your web site or blog.

You Get to Actually "Earn While You Learn" With A Customized 4 Month "Help More People Marketing Jumpstart Program"
To ensure your success, I have partnered with master marketer Suzanne Evans to create a customized 16-week marketing training, advice, and support program just for the members of the Outside the Job Box/Passions into Profits Coach Training Program.
The goal of this unique Marketing Jumpstart Program is to help you hit the ground running so you can get paying clients right away... and in the process, help more people turn their passions into profits.
This is not a theoretical program.
Three years ago Suzanne left the Broadway theatre industry to build her dream business of being a coach! She was passionate about her new venture, but lost when it came to getting clients and making money.
After reading all the marketing books and listening to the marketing gurus, Suzanne realized what she really needed was someone to lay the marketing steps out in a systematic way.
She knew there must be a way to be authentic, get the important marketing information, and implement easily. When she couldn't find such a program she created one for herself.
Using what she'd learned, Suzanne built her first six-figure coaching business in less than 13 months.
Today she generates multiple six figures a year and coaches others to do the same through her step-by-step marketing system.
Having a highly profitable business was a dream come true. But what Suzanne is most proud of is helping thousands of people to make their living by making a difference. And now she and her entire coaching team are making themselves available to help you too...
Using her unique "Help More People System," Suzanne and her coaching team will show you how you can "earn while you learn."
Discover...
How to eliminate those negative beliefs that are keeping you from helping more people and making more money.
The one secret that will give you all the time you need to market, work, and play.
An effortless way to get clients to book appointments.
An easy paint-by-numbers system to create your fee plan and packaging.

QUESTION: Is there a limit on class size?
Yes. I would love to train thousands, even millions of people to do this kind of work. And maybe someday I will. But not right now.
The coach training portion of this program is largely self-study. However there is also a significant support aspect of the program that is designed to answer questions, get you off on the right foot, and meet and network with other consultants.
I never want to over-promise and under-deliver. In fact, if you listened to the recorded testimonials, you'll see that I pride myself on giving people more than they expected. Hence, I need to put a cap on the number of people taking the course at one time to ensure I can adequately take care of the people enrolled.
Unfortunately that means I need to limit the number of people who can enter this training program during each registration period.
All the more so because Suzanne's "Earn While You Learn" Marketing Jumpstart Program is very hands-on. To make sure everyone gets their questions answered the cap on these weekly call-in sessions groups is 18 people.
With 3 groups running at once that's a maximum of 54 people we can accommodate for this Fall 2009 training.
If past experience is any indication, I expect this program to sell out very fast.
QUESTION: What expenses are involved in running a business like this?
Before you factor in business expenses, consider the distinction that my friend and best-selling author of Making a Living Without a Job Barbara Winter makes between how employee and entrepreneur thinking.
All businesses have expenses paper, software, postage and so on. Employees are used to putting outlays in the expense column.
As Barbara puts it, entrepreneurs understand that money spent for the purpose of growing your business is not an expense it is an investment. The goal of investing is to get a return on that investment... and that's what this program is designed to help you do.
Not only that... but when you work for yourself, you get some pretty amazing tax breaks. Of course you'll want to check with a tax advisor, but you should be able to deduct the entire cost of this course as a training expense.
Other tax-deductible expenses include computer, web hosting, phone, business cards, magazine subscriptions... and so on. Plus, if you work from home, at least here in the US, you can deduct a portion of your rent or mortgage, utilities, even certain home repair expenses (like a portion of the cost of the new roof I put on).
You can even take a working vacation like I do every summer when my company (that would be ME!) sends me to a lake in New Hampshire to write. (Of course you'll want to confer with your accountant on this as well.)
The beauty of this business is that all you really need is a phone, a computer, internet access, and a pad of paper and you are good to go!
I've even arranged for an optional 90-day test-drive of your own professional looking web site that you can go in and edit any time you want, for free. After that the investment is under a $100 a month. Or you can hire a designer or do your web site yourself. The point is, even with a web site, you can control the costs.
QUESTION: Is there a guarantee?
Valerie Young's Personal Guarantee
I am so confident this course will teach you how to be an Outside the Job Box/Passions into Profits Coach that I'm willing to personally guarantee it.
If after completing the Outside the Job Box/Passions into Profits Training Program, you do not feel that the course lived up to the promise to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to do this work, or that the course materials were in anyway insufficient, you will receive a full refund.
Furthermore, I understand that you may be taking this course while holding down a full-time job. Everyone will complete the course at their own pace. That's why I am willing to extend this money-back offer for a full six months after purchase.
If you are not 100% satisfied with the course all you need to do is return the materials along with your signed Non-Disclosure Agreement and you will be issued a prompt refund.
In other words, I'm taking all of the risk, so YOU have everything to gain (including a whole new career and life) and nothing to lose. That's my promise to you!
Suzanne Evans' Personal Guarantee
I would not work with anyone who did not stand behind their product or service. When I asked my marketing training partner, Suzanne Evans, about her policy, here's what she said:
"I do this because I love seeing people succeed and it is a joyous experience to watch someone grow a business and help others. If YOU take all the action steps presented over the course of the program, but do not makeover and GROW your business, then I will refund your money and let you keep 196 page The Help More People System, as well as all the bonuses! You have more to lose by NOT joining this program."
QUESTION: This all sounds great, but can I hear from other students?
Absolutely! Click below to hear testimonials and roundtable discussions from previous course attendees, as they talk about their experience in the course:

QUESTION: What is my investment to reinvent myself and start a whole new business or add this new coaching specialty?
If you were going to start a business by buying into a Quiznos sandwich shop franchise it would cost you $190,000 to $250,000. Or consider what you'd pay to go back to school to retrain for a whole new career to say nothing of the time investment this course is a relatively modest investment.
The beauty of this program is that after your initial investment, the vast majority of your marketing costs are totally covered.

And I know you are going to be absolutely blown away when you see the complete package.
In offering you a $500 Registration Discount, I want to make sure that it does not cheapen the material in any way.
On a personal level it is important to me that you understand that I am basically giving you an entire business model that is worth thousands of times more...
The self-paced version of my Profits into Passions Coach Training alone normally costs $2,000.
PLUS, to get your business off to a running start you're getting 16 weeks of LIVE call-in "Earn While You Learn" Marketing Jumpstart Sessions with Suzanne Evans and her team. The value of this alone is over $4,000.
But you're GETTING IT ALL the Outside the Job Box/Passions into Profits Training Program AND the marketing support a total value of over $6,000 for far less.
Suzanne and I are both committed to helping as many people as possible which is why we're willing to make this very special offer, one I cannot promise will be repeated.
So the cost of the entire program, including the 16-weeks of marketing training and support is $3,997. With the $500 discount that comes to $3,497.
If you want to save on the installment plan administration fee, you can pay the entire registration fee upfront.
However, 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 nine month installment plan. Naturally that involves a modest administration fee, but it makes it more doable for people on a budget.

If it's easier, you can get started today for an initial payment of ONLY $422. Then every 30 days, your credit card will be billed in additional lower monthly installments over the course of next eight months. That gives you a full nine months to pay.

P.S. Just because you're taking a self-paced program doesn't mean you're on your own. My number one priority is your success. So I've put together three ways to make sure you get and stay on track.
STAY ON TRACK BONUS #1: Access to the "Connect & Collaborate Site" to meet and network with over a hundred other students and program grads!
Just because you're taking a self-paced program doesn't mean you're on your own. We've set up password-protected access to a coaches only collaboration site where you can connect with our students around the world and discuss issues, successes, challenges, write articles, share ideas, the sky's the limit!
We've set up password-protected access to the "Outside the Job Box Career Expert Connect & Collaborate Site."
You'll have the chance to meet other trainees from literally around the world, discuss the assignments with other students, join a small study group, and collaborate with others to write articles, run teleseminars, create information products the sky is the limit!
And it truly is a small world. Two people who took the last round of training from Australia logged into the Connect & Collaborate Site and discovered they live within driving distance of one another! The exact same thing happened with two coaches in California and in Ontario.
Regardless of where you live you'll get the chance to experience the benefits of being part of an exciting community of entrepreneurs just like you.
STAY ON TRACK BONUS #2: Monthly Q&A Calls With Valerie for 4 Months
I will personally host 4 monthly Q & A calls November through February. And, because of the various time zones, I'll hold one in the morning eastern time and one in the evening to accommodate as many as possible.
If you're not able to attend, I'll record the calls and make the recording available to you. Just email your questions prior to the call and I'll make sure to address them on the call.
STAY ON TRACK BONUS #3: Vision and Goal Setting Phone Sessions
Life Design Coach and Profits into Passions course graduate Steve Coxsey is on board to conduct a series of goal setting calls to help you craft your personal vision, set out a realistic schedule for completing your coach training and launching your business, and building in accountability to help you stay on track.
Steve's coaching work is guided by this quote from Peter McWilliams who said, "Our thoughts create our reality where we put our focus in the direction we tend to go."
Finally... I hope you see that when you register you are really signing up for the chance to finally realize your dream of working when, where, and how you want.
Plus, included in what is an incredibly modest investment is a truly amazing amount of personal marketing coaching and support.
As importantly, you will gain the deep satisfaction of knowing that the work you do matters... And that is truly priceless.
And if all this weren't enough, the work you will be training to do to brainstorm all of the delightful and interesting ways there are for your clients to turn the things they love to do into income is energizing and fun!
As Katharine Graham once said, "To love what you do and feel that it matters, how could anything else be more fun?"
Spots are Limited: If you truly feel drawn to this work and are willing to invest in yourself to make your dream a reality then I urge you to act now
