Get Organized from the Inside Out Day 1: Connection


Day 1 Intention:  Connection
Professional organizers suggest that the first step in organizing is to clear the space we plan to organize.  As conscious organizers  it helps to clear the space within and connect with our heart-centered, loving self.  Making a space inside to help us clearly see and feel the possibilities that will show up for us when we have organized our external lives.  This is not about the "how we will realize our goal," but what it will look like when we are there.
One of the ways we crowd our lives, our hearts, mind and space is with the many things we tolerate, i.e., put up with.  Often, what we tolerate drains or distracts us - be they thoughts or the piles in our physical space.  Once we remove these tolerations we make space, feel lighter, and can more easily connect with our values and authentic self.
Conscious Questions-to-Self
  • What am I tolerating?
  • What 1 thing can I do today to begin to address these tolerations?
  • How do I connect with my heart and my authentic self?
Some tips to connect:
  • Slow Down
  • Stay connected with breath (at times taking slow breaths with hand over heart)
  • Be mindful (totally present) with whatever you are doing or thinking
  • Stay connected with your intention
  • Be kind and gentle to Self (this is a journey.  no rush. and no need for perfection)
  • K.I.S.S.(TM) - keep it short and simple or simple and sacred
Affirmation:
I have the power to remove all tolerations (people, thoughts, things...)  from my life

Dedicated to your peace and prosperity,

Social Media Marketing - Top Four Tips to Get Coaching Clients With Social Media Marketing

Are you a coach interested in social media marketing? Have you been using social networking web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter for a while, but you haven't gotten any coaching clients from them? The good news is that you can get coaching clients with social marketing, and it is not hard to do. Read this article for my four tips on getting coaching clients using web sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Here are the top four tips for promoting your coaching business using social media marketing:

1. Define Your Social Media Marketing Goals.

Too many coaches jump into social marketing without a plan, without setting goals for the results they want to get from those web sites, and without creating systems in their business to support their marketing efforts.

Start by setting goals for your social marketing efforts - one of them should be building your list. Once you know what your goals are, it is going to be easier to see whether your social networking efforts are bringing in results.

2. Create Systems In Your Business To Support Your Social Media Efforts.

Even if you spend all of your time on social networking web sites, you are not going to get results unless you have systems in your business to support your social networking efforts and help you convert people you meet on social networking web sites into coaching clients.

Some of the systems you need include a way to invite people you meet on websites such as Facebook and Twitter to get a free gift from you and get on your list, a way to keep in touch with them and a way to convert them into coaching clients once they are on your list.

3. Network On A Regular Basis.

In order to get regular, consistent results from social media(such as more coaching clients), you must network on a regular basis. Share useful tips and ideas, share your blog posts, answer questions asked by your contacts.

Help others, and you will see that more and more people will be interested in what you have to say, and will join your list as a result.

4. Evaluate Your Social Media Efforts.

You will not know how well social media marketing is working for you unless you track your results. Evaluate your networking results on a regular basis to see what kind of results you are getting.

Coaching for Success: Helping Clients in the Start Up Mode

Success Coaching Strategy for the Start Up Mode:  Coaching for success in this mode means that your client must take massive action.  They need sacrifice everything else to get through this phase, even sleep!  Coaching for success means that they must focus on one goal and keep things simple, get lost of accountability to stay on tract through the fires they’ll have to put out.  Sometimes to make it though this phase your clients will also need some success coaching to help them grow or learn project management skills.
