The World of Careers and Jobs
Has Changed Radically...
Are You Ready to Cash In?

Introducing

The New, Needed and Fun Way to
Make Money Using Your Creative Mind
to Help People Discover Hidden Ways
to Profit From Their Passion

Dear Creative Brainstormer or Coaching Professional,

Whether you formally trained to be a career, life, or executive coach or are simply a keen observer of life... it's hard to miss that the world has changed.

  • Executives used to be all about climbing the ladder. Now increasing numbers are looking to get off the ladder altogether...

  • People who used to be searching for a job are suddenly searching for meaningful work... and a life

  • Whether by choice or circumstance, more and more people are looking away from employment and toward entrepreneurship

Job dissatisfaction, downsizing, and the growing desire for more work/life balance are forcing people to think about alternative ways to make their living. And this migration out of corporate America has created a unique opportunity for career consultants and coaches.

If you enjoy brainstorming, teaching, coaching and you love the idea of helping your clients discover and create more meaningful lives doing work they truly love, then today might well be one of life's big aha moments.

That's because you are about to discover how to add value to other people's lives... and income in your pocket.

And you don't need any previous coaching experience to do it. Why? Because...

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

Which is exactly why I've taken my fifteen years of experience serving people who want to "change course" and developed a proven coaching protocol to help your current (or future!) clients (and
YOU!) make money doing what comes naturally.

If I could just take a moment to introduce myself...

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 23,000 people. And my site averages over 125,000 visitors a year.

I'm also considered an expert on something called the Impostor Syndrome.

I've delivered my presentation "How To Feel As Bright And Capable As Everyone Thinks You Are" to over 30,000 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.

Barbara Winter, Valerie Young, Barbara Sher

I'm proud and delighted to have landed a six-figure book deal with Crown Publishing/Random House on women and the Impostor Syndrome due out in 2011.

I've also had the great privilege of working with two 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 (Making a Living Without a Job).

The three of us delivered a remarkable workshop and retreat I produced called Making Dreams Happen. The event sold-out and I made friends for life.

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 current or future clients or workshop attendees.

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 both 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, and Uruguay.

This vast hunger for both mean and money is the reason why my friend Gary Vaynerchuk's new 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, 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 Just a Few Short 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 150 people from as far away as Singapore, Kenya, Norway, Australia, the UK, Barbados, 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%

Maybe you already do some form of career coaching. Or maybe up until now you just do it naturally (and for free) for friends and family If so you may be wondering...

"How Does This Differ From
Basic Career Coaching?"

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 do with skills assessments or personality profiles, job searches, resumes, interviews, or otherwise helping people make a career change within the traditional the 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 account 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 question to half a dozen college career coaches. Every one of them was stumped.

That's because 99 percent of employment-based career counselors, were never shown how to work with clients who want to break out of the job box. No one showed them how to introduce a client to things like continuity income or how to quickly create a track record or credibility in a new market.

Michelle Harmon"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, Richmond, NY

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 you need to take a client's interest in say gardening, art, 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 current or future 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.

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

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

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

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.

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 CDs. 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.

"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."

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 Study CDs

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.

Working With Clients: What To Do Before, During, and After

This invaluable 150+ page guide maps out the entire process of working with clients. Includes:

  • The exact script I use when a prospective client calls to quickly and easily close them on working with you

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

  • The best way to kick off and wrap up each consulting session

  • A recommended session agenda complete with a Coaching Session Agenda "Cheat Sheet" and working script

Customizable Business Operations Templates on CD

Combined, you get everything you need to help a client see practical ways they can make money doing what they love.

Expert Marketing Advice You Can Easily Use to Help Your Clients Go From Idea to Action

As a Licensed Profiting From Your Passions Career Coach, your clients want to not only know what they can do but "how" to do it. You don't need to be a marketing expert to do this kind of coaching. However, you will want to learn some simple marketing basics that you can easily pass along to your clients.

That's why when you sign up for this training you will also receive two powerful recordings on CD:

  • "The Top 5 Best and Fastest Ways to Promote Your Business" with one of the world's top creative marketing experts author Marcia Yudkin

  • "Low Cost Ways to Promote Yourself and Your Business" with author and founder of Marketing Mentor, Ilise Benun

Working schedules, time zones, and budgets can make it difficult to attend live seminars or Teleseminars. That's why the entire course has been intentionally designed so you can learn on whatever schedule and pace works best for you.

On the other hand...

You May Be The Kind of Person Who Positively
Thrives on Human Connection.
If So, Then You Have the Option to
Tap into a Higher Level of Support and Community

It's called the "Inner Circle." And it's an optional additional level of access to me and connection with other coaches.

You aren't just gaining a new coaching specialty, you are gaining a vibrant and supportive coach community.

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

If you can't make the call, simply email your question in advance and I'll cover it on the call. And of course all calls are recorded so you can download and listen to them at your convenience.

"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.

Over the years I've masterminded and/or joint venture partnered with such 7-figure coaches as Carrie Wilkerson, Suzanne Evans, Bernadette Doyle, and Fabienne Fredrickson.

Plus I've had the pleasure of worked or networked 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 Complete 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 $3500 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.


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

On three of those occasions I even arranged for coaches to be able to showcase their skills by serving as on-site "Idea Detectives" conducting laser coaching sessions with workshop attendees.


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.


Trench-coated coaches at Yanik Silver's Underground Marketing 6
in Washington, DC get into the "spy theme"

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 that 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

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 over 30 coaches on tape talking about their experience taking this course. Some attended the Teleclass version, others a live program, and still others took the virtual course being offered to you here.

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.

"What Is My Investment to Start This Brand New
OR Add This New Profit Center
to My Current 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.

She trains you to see what others may not, helping to guide your clients to life changing a-ha moments. Don't miss this opportunity – I'll always be grateful I didn't!" ~ Susan Baker, North Hollywood, CA
"I have nothing but praise for Valerie, her model, the comprehensive program and materials she has developed. She and they will prepare you to become the coach you dream of being and to turn your Passions into Profits... as well as those of your clients."
~
Stephen Wright, Kendalia, TX
"I have bought my share of programs and self study courses. This is the only one that actually has EVERYTHING I need to operate a consulting business. I was looking for a "real" consulting model and this has it." 
~ Bonnie Taylor Wachowicz

The people who sign on to do this kind of work are special people. They understand how essential it is for people to head their calling. Perhaps like them you feel called to do this work as well.

It gets back to that issue of meaning. I love this quote from a woman named Nora Watson In Studs Turkels book, Working. She said:

"I Think Most Of Us Are
Looking For A Calling, Not A Job.
Most Of Us, Like The Assembly Line Worker,
Have Jobs That Are Too Small For Our Spirit."

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 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 lot of other more "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 Alaska, Hawaii, 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.

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?"

Once You Master
The "Profiting From Your Passion" 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, you 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...

bullet

Local banks looking to lend start-up money

bullet

Chambers of Commerce looking to help their members grow their businesses

bullet

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."

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, but I spent five fabulous days in the City of Light. (I snapped this bus pix in front of Notre Dame Cathedral!)

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:

bullet

Retiring military personnel

bullet

Military spouses who need a portable income

bullet

Hollywood directors, producers, actors, and technicians needing flexible ways to make money between gigs

bullet

"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 adding Profiting From Your Passion Career Coaching to my current practice?

"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
