Visit http://business-soulwork.com/blog Find Ling and grab her free "How to Find YOUR Winning Formula" Training Series at http://business-soulwork.com/ywf-free/ -- Marketing Matters -- A coaching client was nearing the end of her intensive program. We were at the stage to design a marketing plan for the next 6 months so she can cut the busywork and do what truly matters. She is an experienced coach using a particular method. However, she has been "selling" the method in a very generalized manner without much focus. As a result, she had only been doing some workshops here and there for anyone and everyone who walked into the door, and never been able to funnel many of the participants into private clients and...

-- Quote of the Day --  "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. " ~ Charles W. Eliot -- World of Writing --   Why is a business plan important for your career as a writer?  - this is a question I'm asked quite often in interviews and I have found it is common for writers to think that because they are the only person involved they don't need a business plan. But actually a basic plan can be essential to their career.  As a writer, you are running a business - you will be employed at least part time at this career and will have expenses and operation tactics and succession to consider. As such a business plan will help you and anyone who takes over the reins (i.e. royalties for inheritance, estate plan handlers, etc.).  The business plan really acts like an outline; it is meant to be flexible enough to ride through the inevi...

-- Quote of the Day -- "It is by choice and not by chance that we change our circumstances"  ~ Nadia Sahari -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio -- We have a special feature show lined up for you today - Saturday - at 10:00 - 11 AM Pacific (Live):  Karin Abarbanel is our guest of the day – entrepreneur and marketing consultant expert on start up strategies.

-- Quote of the Day -- “ I already had the speaking and consulting side of the business before the book came out, …and I kept on being asked by people who attended the seminars whether I had a book. ...The impetus for the book was just to be able to get bigger speaking gigs. …A human being has an enormous amount to give… There are so many distractions outwardly that we think are important… and have never been taught that there is something more special inside of us. …I believe purpose gives you a direction, when you have purpose than all the questions and challenges in life are extremely challenging. When you have purpose then you have something to measure those decisions against. ”    – Jeff Gitterman    Today's quote originates from the Holistic Business & Wealth Strategies interview that aired back on Oct 26, 2010 - Access the archived show via the hyper-lined title (above) -- Chatter -- Apologies to everyone expecting a Positive Eco-News segme...

-- Quote of the Day -- “… Green product purchasing doesn’t mean we encourage over consumption – but there are products that you do need and we help to direct people to better choices… than just the mainstream products that we may be used to. …Often people would tell me ‘this is a green product’ but I would be wondering WHY that product was green. …We do a number of things to green our shipping we default to ground shipping because it is the most efficient per order. We use 100% reclaimed boxes and packaging materials (from neighbors, friends, companies) and use that for our shipping. We also purchase carbon offsets for the shipping involved in purchasing on BuyGreen.com. And actually – there have been studies that show how shopping online can actually reduce one’s carbon footprint. …Going green doesn’t have to be done all at once; it can be done one step at a time. ”  ~ Allison Huke Sept 15 – 2009 Today's quote was taken from a Conscious Discussions Talk Radio s...
