If you've been looking for a Mentor Coach to guide you to inner shifts and outer bigger income following the Multiple Streams model, I am opening a new set of Group Coaching calls beginning in June. Here are the details:
Title: Advanced Group Coaching | June to November 2007
This is a 6-month small group coaching format with:
- 3, 60-minute sessions per month on Tuesdays from 100 to 200 PM Eastern
- Calls will consist of 1 content/information-rich call organized around an advanced business-building theme; 1 hot seat & laser coaching call and 1 group brainstorming call. (Brainstorming will center on feedback and ideas from the group on your chosen project - first-come first-serve. While Hot Seat and Laser Coaching will be more Coach-Client oriented.)
- There will be a mailing list format for email communication with fellow coaches and e-coaching. Please note registration in the group indicates permission on your part to share your email address with the rest of the group unless you specify otherwise.
- Recordings, notes and any links will be shared via mailing list and/or webpage dedicated to the group.
Please Note: The month of July will feature Tina Forsyth as Coach on the theme of Teambuilding and Business Management.
As always the emphasis in Advanced Group Coaching throughout the 6 months is on tangible-nuts and bolts steps you can act on as well as big picture mindset shifts. Our goal is (always) money AND meaning, sustainably in a way that suits you as an individual.
- Theme for June - Simple Multimedia | Exactly How To Create Compelling Products (Includes Resources, Suppliers, Recommended Sub-Contractors and A Step-By-Step Process we will walk through together)

And here are a few kind words from previous coaching clients and Advanced Group Coaching attendees for your warm and fuzzies. :-)
"Andrea, I cannot say enough good things about our time together. You were business consultant, business coach, personal coach, and couples coach – all in just three hours!!I loved the way you cracked open our business model to find the holes that needed to be plugged. I loved the way you were able to cut to the heart of every problem and concern, while still having compassion for the personal and emotional feelings surrounding it all.
Most of all, I loved the way you were instantly able to see the real reason I was struggling with my book. You were more right than you will ever know. "
-- Jennifer Koretsky Founder, Head Coach & Chief Visionary Officer
www.ADDmanagement.com
"Not only did we strategize exactly how to take my business to the next level, but Andrea also addressed ALL the pieces essential to creating the business and life I most want. I left our meeting with the big picture firmly planted in my mind, an action plan in hand, and no doubt that everything I’m envisioning for my business and my life will become my reality.”Alicia M Forest, MBA
www.ClientAbundance.com
"I'm thinking in new and more powerful ways! I make decisions more quickly and decisively, I'm more focused and less frantic, and find it much easier to "let go" and drop or delegate work."Terri Zwierzynski
www.Solo-E.com
"My business has completely changed because of this coaching. I have let go of a partnership and am now working with a new partner; this has been a huge shift for me. I get stubborn about how I think things are supposed to look, and Andrea's yoga for the mind, as well as no bull way of talking has really helped me rearrange the way I work. And thank God for that!"Kristine Carey

In keeping with our theme of making meaningful, profitable businesses easier...
In our fervent hopes to give you the tools to be the Sun, rather than blow til you're blue like the Wind...
We are pleased to introduce two new Audio products which are now shipping around the world:
Joint ventures are being solidified among some of the most far-flung, unexpected and fruitful individuals. After all, together we know everything and can do everything we’re meant to do.
Which is why you must know *exactly how* to broach the topic of splitting up the money in joint ventures. Many times, small business owners (you?) won’t even consider potential partnerships because they don’t know how to have ‘THAT conversation.’
Enter a simple formula that depersonalizes that conversation and makes it logical. Suddenly, so many more joint ventures are possible. You wouldn’t agree to help Michaelangelo paint the ceiling without a great set of paintbrushes, would you?
The good news is, the formula isn’t complicated, nor does it require a calculator, really. In fact, I dare say a large portion of the value of the material is from the sheer simplicity and robustness of the formula. We at Multiple Streams of Coaching Income use it several times a week, for ourselves and for clients. It hasn’t ‘failed’ us yet.
Think about it - with the right joint venture partners in place, you really can ensure your success. The trick is how to find the right ones, and then once found, how to negotiate a deal that works. Don’t become one of the many whose joint ventures, once so promising, fell off the tracks because “we couldn’t figure the money out.”
“Wow! what a great layout for the conversation. I love the two stories you tell, it makes it really clear. I just met with a business consultant who wants to use my convening skills within a company and the conversation turned to compensation. I shared this model with him and he loved it. It was right on the mark.”

Included inside:
- 50-minute audio recording on CD presenting the money formula, plus ‘raw and uncut’
laser coaching and FAQ

Includes a 50-minute audio CD plus 15-page How-To Booklet. Summer Special: $57.00 + shipping  |
(see below for information on how you can save $50 with your purchase)
This CD plus How-To Booklet is for anyone who’d like to make (more) money from leading no-fee TeleSeminars. Designed for Coaches, Consultants and other service professionals whose primary business building strategy is education, it’s exactly what you would expect from the title: A Minute-By-Minute Template: Exactly What to Say, and When, To Effortlessly Generate New Business via TeleSeminars.
With specific verbiage to help you along, you can try it ‘by the letter’ at first, and then add your own fluorishes, all the while protecting the essence of the timing of each call, which is what is most influential upon sales.
If you’ve been leading some pretty darn good TeleSeminars - BUT... you can’t make them pay...this product will be for you. If you’re just starting, this product will be for you, BUT, you will not get a lot of basic ‘what is a TeleSeminar’ stuff.
Inside this slim little package is the precise format we at Multiple Streams of Coaching Income have used over the last 4 years to consistently fill TeleSeminars, lead them so our feedback is always fantastic, and convert customers in multiple markets. We’ve even used this template on behalf of consulting clients to bring them major 5-figure leads for their businesses.
“Well, I used your Minute-by-Minute Template and...It was brilliant!! A perfectly structured TeleSeminar, 50 people on the line, lots of Press-Number-5-On-Your-Keypad bleeps, and great feedback within hours.”

I'm delighted to share this 6-question interview of Richard Reardon, formerly the Dean of the School of Small Business Coaching at CoachVille.com. Richard was the first established Graduate-level Dean selected by Thomas Leonard, and revolutionized Small Business Coach training in that role in the fall of 2002.
Those of you who remember meeting Richard at the Business Coaching Conference held fall 2002 in Toronto, Canada will clearly recall what a deep well of expertise and experience he represents. A humble, rather quiet and dare I say 'old school' (in a good way) Mentor Coach, Richard has been doing the work of transforming businesses since 1981.
As you will see from just a few interview questions, there is no faking his kind of experience. Let me also add that Richard personally coached me through some of the most difficult days of my journey as a business owner, so if you pick up my rather fond feelings towards him, that will be why.
That will also be why I'm so delighted to partner with his R&R Business Development to invite you to 3 new course offerings designed to deepen your abilities as a Small Business Coach. These highly affordable offerings are now open for registration here.
Without further preamble, here's the interview. You may want to pay special attention to question #4.
(1) Richard, not to be rude, but you have been coaching businesses for a very long time! What is your favorite client success story?
The client who began coaching approximately 2 years ago and who now works solely with Fortune 500 companies, sets fees at 5K per day, has plenty of work and really "gets" coaching as a means to a bigger end.
He started with lots and lots of self doubt but, did the work, met the challenges and grew into it.
(2) As part of your legacy, you have said that you'd like to pass along your insights, methods and experience to new business coaches. Would you fill in the blank of this sentence?
I wish more business coaches would _______________.
Easy... practice what they preach and become world class business advisors.
Most have so much potential as business advisors/coaches but get all hung up on trivial stuff, side roads, analysis, what is a coach type of talk over and over... the market is so big...what are we waiting for?
(3) You have mentored coaches in several places including the Graduate School of Coaching - you must be exceeding patient and persistent to continue to make offerings available to coaches. I think many trainers might have given up by now. What makes you so determined?
Actually I tend toward impatient. Since I fully expect the 80/20 rule applies everywhere, I tend to attract/work with those who are ready to " get it going", learn what has to change and build their business.
Not everyone will do the work necessary (not that it is all that hard, by the way) and that (not doing the work) is to be expected in any "new endeavor."
In my role, I benefit in three areas:
(a) opportunity to teach good material and then
(b) the chance to work 1x1 with those who really want more. and, finally
(c) coaching business owners on-site.
The free stuff is easy to do and it's nice that I enjoy it too ---- no patience needed, really.
(4) What kind of earnings do you think it's reasonable for a business coach to expect in their first year, done well? Fifth year? 10th?
Depends on the vision, goals, character and how big they want to become....I strongly believe that Solo operators doing coaching to businesses can easily earn...
Year one $115 ,000 plus
Year two $155,000 plus
Year five $300,000 plus
Once the model is decided and process developed, any solo person can earn these without a lot of extra service or affiliates. By year ten it depends mostly on the model and growth strategy.
All this is possible if they develop a step-by-step plan and develop the mental discipline to operate to the plan month after month.
Too many coaches are looking for a quick homerun ...that is a mistake. This is a profession that requires a consistent plan of development and a whole new level of mental energy. It is fun and rewarding but does not just happen.
Frankly, if the above revenues are not set as baseline goals, I think the payoff will be too small for the amount of mental change and work required for becoming happy & successfully self employed. Revenues count.
(5) Recently I have been coaching coaches a great deal around the concept of building their businesses to sell. Can you say a little about the universal things that need to be in place to make a business sell-able?
> Systems in all areas of the business (that run independent of the "coach.")
> A well-oiled marketing process that operates all year round.
> A product (or service) focus that really is world class in its impact on the business (and is easy to deliver.)
> Higher than average fees because the service is truly value added and clients see that. It can be vanilla and stand out in some way.
> The plan and awareness from the get go to "build it" for sale.
(6) You recently approached me to introduce a new set of 3-week course offerings to make a difference in the lives of small business coaches. What kind of business coach do you most hope will join up?
Those who want to "lead" their clients toward much better productivity and profitably by using both the strategic side of business development and the personal development side ....they really do go well together.
Example: The coaches' business will not exceed her own level of growth next year, etc.
Great questions, Andrea. Best, Richard
----end interview---
P.S. A great example of what I mean when I describe Richard as 'old school' is his recent succinct article called "Too much happy talk?" available at his new blog. Be sure to stop by and say hello!

From time to time we get a friendly do-good note that goes something like this: "I don't know if you realize this, but when I go to buy something in the 'Money & Meaning' Online Store, nothing is stopping me from getting the discounted price for members or book-buyers even though I'm not a member...you might want to do something about that."
It's never a hot email or anything like that, but the 'creased forehead, waggy finger' tone definitely comes through.
So here's the 'official' explanation for the record...yes, it's true. We are not policing who uses the discounted button versus the regular price button. For the most part (99% of the time) people use the appropriate button and only avail themselves of the savings for members or book-readers if they are those things. It's the honour system.
Rationale? For the amount of abuse it gets, it isn't worth it to me to police it. I have lots I want to do, to read, to write, to think, and feel and see and be and do...policing isn't included anywhere in those things. So we don't. Every once in a while a crackerjack team member may catch an occurrence, and if so, a polite email goes out (once) to give folks a chance to sort it.
But sometimes things can be just that simple. We just don't worry about it. (This is similar to the conundrum of 'how to make sure a PDF file of an ebook doesn't get shared' etc. )
Anyway, for the $30 or $50 or $100 savings the abusers enjoy in the short term, I figure their karma will run over their own dogma in the long, and that will be the that.
End of official story.
