small business coach 

 

Have you come a long way – but you still aren’t hitting your financial targets? Been in business awhile and understand the concepts of leveraging yourself but are not where you wanted to be -

 

 

"You’ve done the affirmations,
have the vision board…you even have some business…but you are STILL NOT GETTING THE RESULTS YOU WANT!"

 

“Why? Because you haven’t yet learned the secrets to

take your business from drudgery to

 DAZZLING!”

 

“This isn't what I started my business for,” one of my clients

recently told me. “I know it's a good business – but I get confused by how to market it and why I keep getting in the way of making it bigger. Plus, I'm working all the time and though I'm pulling in decent money, it often feels like the business gets more of it than my family does. So what gives?”

 

 


Dear Freedom Seeking Entrepreneur,

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You've been in business for a few years, so you know your market, know what you offer, and yet the level of success that you desire isn't showing up in the way you know it should.

For one thing, you're completely overwhelmed with the details of your business. It seems like the family dog doesn't even know you, and you work from home! So often, you find yourself buried under a mountain of odds and ends, and spending less time than ever on the parts of your business that you love – the aspects that drew you into being an entrepreneur in the first place! And the worst part is that all these hours haven't translated into more money.

How frustrating it is to be really good at what you do but lacking a few of the necessary things that, if applied, could not only give you more freedom, and more "flow," but could also have you doing the happy dance because you finally have a business that works.

Do you need an entrepreneurial “wake up and shake up”? That might sound nuts, but so many times we as entrepreneurs know what we SHOULD be doing, but we get in our own way. We fail to market, we don’t follow up, we don’t charge enough, and usually we are stuck in the trading dollars-for-hours mentality from back in the day when we were employees. And the biggest crime is that sometimes we play small because if we really stepped into what we know our desires are, it would ROCK OUR WORLD and that of everyone else. So we play safe......and deep inside know we are selling out. Don’t let this happen to you.

Take this quiz – these are the signs that you could use some support to break you (quickly!) out of your rut -
Is Your Business Stuck In a Rut of Being Invisible? To find out, take this quiz:

___ Do you have a full list of happy customers just waiting to throw money your way?

___ Several times a year do you have new offerings that allow clients to buy your services in different ways and at different price points?

___Are there lots of people calling you as THE EXPERT to give content to their lists?

___ Is your social networking working for you, or is it just a big time suck? (And by working for you, I mean are you developing relationships that are translating to REVENUE!)

___ Do you work with a client base you love (In other words, would you spend time with them if they weren't paying you)? Or are you just taking people on because they showed up and you need the cash to pay your bills?

___ Is 50% of your business coming from referrals of your happy tribe?

___When people land on your website do they get a freebie that is so juicy that they are happy to give you their contact information?

___ 85% of the time, are you doing just the work you love, instead of doing the administrivia that drives us all c-r-a-z-y?

If you answered 'No' to some of these questions, chances are you're out of synch with the reason you went into business in the first place.

And take it from the Mistress of Mindset: if it's your goal to have a business that supports you instead of the other way around the longer you wait to apply these strategies, the more drained you'll get and the harder it will be to put your business on the right course.

Because, the key really to building a successful business lies in having a mindset that will allow you to get your gifts out in the world in a much bigger way. (And sadly, while there are all kinds of blueprints you can buy to make your business run better, there are no ‘inner game’ blueprints. You just have to work through the blocks that are costing you the time, energy, and freedom you crave.)

 

She Packs a Powerful One-Two Punch!

"Therese is my go-to coach when it comes to blasting through the stories and mental chatter that hold me back. I call her my ‘barrier removal coach’ because she can quickly get to the root-cause issue blocking my progress and help me get it resolved so I can get on with the business of making a difference through my work.

"Therese lovingly, but firmly, insists on nothing but your best. With laser-like focus she identifies where you’re limiting yourself and gives you the insights and strategies you need to do things differently. Therese packs a powerful one-two punch…she not only works her ‘mindset’ magic but once she’s helped you free your thinking she delivers powerful strategies and approaches that get real results in your business."

What’s entrepreneurial drudgery?

  • You lose energy just thinking about all the work you have to do
  • Doubt is creeping in because what used to work in the past just isn’t any longer
  • Your shoulders hurt from spending so much time in front of your computer
  • You never get caught up with all your projects
  • Work isn’t feeling fun these days
  • Your creative juices have long dried up so you keep grasping at straws for how to market yourself
  • The business you once loved has turned into a job you now suffer through
  • You keep bumping into the limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck

How do I know? Because I've been there...

My name is Therese Skelly, and I’ve been right where you are. I actually started not just one but TWO businesses, and between the two, for years I couldn’t go on vacation with my kids without bringing my laptop!

Fortunately, I was in an excellent position to address this, because I came to being a coach and entrepreneur from being a psychotherapist. Here's what I knew as a psychotherapist: Very often in business, people bump into their “stuff.”

Well, here I was, bumping into my stuff – needing to reclaim the meaning that had inspired me to go into business in the first place. Part of the solution I found involved taking these questions to my committee – my Mastermind group. Through my mastermind group, I was challenged to play a bigger name, take risks, stay focused, and mostly, GET OUT IN THE WORLD WITH MY GIFTS.

Today I help people get amazing results. They very often have been to other coaches and had some success, but with my expertise in the inner game part of it, they can finally break free and achieve what they want.

The coolest part has been seeing the clients who came in with the business they thought they SHOULD be doing and instead….ended up with a business they loved.

Why, because while going through the transformation necessary to become the business owner you are meant to be you must focus on both the inner game and the outer game. The whole thing involves Marketing, Strategy, Mindset and Meaning as well, and that’s what makes coaching with me different. Because so many coaches know only one half of the equation, their clients either get stuck, or don’t get results in the accelerated way that I do when I blend both the “inner game – mindset” with the “outer game – marketing/sales/strategy.”

Take all that, throw in a dash of fun, lots of love and you’ll walk away with a business that will knock your socks off!

Having a Family & Building a Career

I am married with three children all under 11 years of age. Working with Therese Skelly has taught me that managing balance (between family and career needs) and quality of life with a full schedule can be positioned as a window of opportunity. She is a lifesaver. I always knew that I could nurture my family and build a viable business, simultaneously. Gone are the days when a woman has to make the choice between having a family and building a career. Thanks to Therese, my dream of designing a life that serves my family and career is no longer fiction. It is a REAL dream that has come true.

Take the business you have and turn it into a business you love.

OK, are you ready? Is it time for you to play BIG? Make some serious money, and also get your gifts out in the world? I’m here to tell you that you can. It’s not that hard if you know the right tools and methods, and have the courage to do the deep dive into the inner game pieces where you may be holding yourself back.

The support you need to break out of having a business that owns you to a business that serves you is there for you to claim. A renewed focus and commitment to your successful business —as well as renewed financial results— are just around the corner. Imagine a business you design according to what you want it to do for you, rather than what you think it should do for you.

Want to know how? Here's a hint: You don't get there by going it alone.

Join other successful entrepreneurs as we tackle these and other business challenges in my Mastermind!

"No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind.”

- Napoleon Hill on the mastermind concept

The good news is that there are other successful entrepreneurs out there who have hit the same roadblocks you have. This is the Mastermind group that offers a focused and intimate environment to transform those roadblocks into building blocks.

And because there's an application process, you are guaranteed to mastermind with other equally successful entrepreneurs who are transforming their businesses with a grace and finesse similar to your own. And you'll be there to help them along as well.

Because that's the whole point of a mastermind, isn't it?

 

You need more than a new tactic, you need your beliefs rewired...

Have you ever watched one of those shows where they clean a kitchen top to bottom and it appears glistening and clean... yet under the microscope lurk deadly bacteria and loads of gunk? Well, that's how I was when I came to Therese. I had done a LOT of work around my money mindset, my money beliefs and I figured I didn't need much help. Oh was I in for a big surprise!

Therese was able to find, and in her words "debug",  a series of underlying "microscopic" beliefs that were getting in the way of my financial success and confidence. She found subtle nuances in me that were literally telling people "Hey, don't buy from me!" and proceeded to turn things around.

Shortly after our work together, everything started to click. I felt a newfound sense of power when making big offers, my confidence in my own work soared, and I dramatically raised my level of income. I started making in a month what I used to make in a year (seriously!) If you feel like you've got your nose pressed to the glass watching everyone else reach 6 and 7 figures in their businesses, you must start working with Therese.

You need more than a new tactic, you need your beliefs rewired because YOU are ultimately in charge of your success. Therese is the person who can take you there. Thanks Therese for all you've done!

But wait, Therese, is the Mastermind right for me?

It is if you...

  • Are a successful entrepreneur with a few years of business under your belt who has the desire to turn the business you have into the business you love

  • Are committed to discovering extraordinary results to move your business — as well as your life — forward.

  • Looking to move past the six figure mark consistently

  • Ready to leverage your time so you can create multiple streams of income

  • FIERCE about time savings, so will happily get a team to support you.

  • Open to some of that Entrepreneurial Butt Kicking (done with love!) that will help you blast through where you are stuck

  • Understand that your inner work will be the thing that will transform your business
  • Excited about the process of sharing and receiving insight from other successful entrepreneurs who are at a similar point in their journey

  • Ready to let your passion exceed your fear of change!

  • Are willing to commit to this process for a minimum of six months.

One important note: If you're just starting your business, this Mastermind is not yet the place for you. And that's OK. I've got a ton of other resources to help you get to the point where you'll be able to benefit from this kind of Mastermind group:

 

The Nuts and Bolts of these 90 minute calls

When you're accepted into the Mastermind, you'll participate in two monthly 75-minute Mastermind calls. During these calls, you partner with a half dozen other success-focused entrepreneurs whose path is similar to your own and receive focused personal attention from me on each call.

Since you're joining this Mastermind for results (and as a successful entrepreneur, you're used to getting them) I'll provide the accountability to take what you discover in our Mastermind sessions and bring it into tangibility. Every two weeks, you'll log onto my forum to create targets based on your new insights and track how well you meet those targets.

In joining the Mastermind, you need to be willing to commit to the process for at least 6 months. This creates a stable community for your Mastermind partners and the time and space for you to create top-level results. You must be available for the calls and willing to participate in the online accountability system I've created.

One important note: If you're hoping to hear a concise 'lecture style' presentation on practices, principles and secret formulas for getting ahead, earning millions practically overnight, working a two hour work week or being the next big internet celebrity, THIS MASTERMIND IS NOT FOR YOU.

However,

If you're overwhelmed by all there is to do in your business just to stay afloat, disillusioned by what gets sold as "Enlightened Business Practices," frustrated by the false promise of making millions without having to lift a finger and (most importantly), and tired of being invisible and underperforming when you KNOW you're capable of so much more... this MASTERMIND may be just what you're looking for.

Our twice monthly “meeting of the minds" will be interactive and sometimes irreverent coaching conversations designed to explore the challenges of keeping your sanity, sense of humor and spirit alive and well in your business. I don't have a prescriptive "you should do this next" format already planned for you because I know that's not what you need. I meet YOU right where you are and from there we craft the JUST RIGHT strategy to get you moving forward powerfully, purposefully and joyfully.

You'll get laser coaching to blast through anything keeping you stuck....proven strategies that will work FOR YOU (these aren't one size fits all suggestions) and....

At the end of six months you'll be absolutely amazed at how far you come, and how fast.

You'll have:

  Visibility strategies to get you in front of more of your perfect clients
Social media tricks to grow your list
Ways to position yourself more as an expert
Revenue generating tactics
Leverage techniques designed to give you more time doing what you love
Marketing ideas you haven’t thought of yet
Accountability and action steps
Implementation plans so you don’t get stuck in overwhelm

Mindset tricks for when you are in your own way or sabotaging yourself

A BELIEF IN YOURSELF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE



Starts Monday, September 26th, 2011

    Only a couple of months being into Therese’s Mastermind program, I am already deeply grateful for the fantastic support and guidance that I am receiving. Therese is an amazing guide, facilitator, and healer. She has huge knowledge that benefits the group and knows exactly how to guide the group most effectively. I am finding that Therese see’s my blind spots which creates new opportunities for me in my business to BE BOLD. The accountability that comes into play is HUGE in keeping me moving forward. I have already designed new high end programs and I am seizing new opportunities to serve in a bigger way that are already manifesting!!

    Therese, this sounds like exactly what I've been looking for! But let's get down to brass tacks – how much does this thing cost?

    The Mastermind is a very special coaching offering. Remember, there's an application process to get in, and once you're accepted, you have to maintain a high level of a level of commitment and accountability to yourself and the group.

    I've designed the Mastermind for people who are already earning money in their businesses and who typically have a budget for education and skill sharpening. These people think of masterminds as an investment and expect to get a healthy return for the money AND TIME they invest.

    If this sounds right to you, keep reading...

    The cost for a 6-month membership in the Mastermind is $1900. You can pay the fee up front and save $200 or break it up into either 2 payments of $900 each or 6 payments of $315 each.

    Starts Monday, September 26th, 2011

    Single Payment $1700 (save $200)
    2 Monthly Payments $1,800 2 payments of $900 (save $100) (Payments will be 90 days apart)
    6 Monthly Payments $315/month


       

      nina attorneyThe "One Size Fits All" Approach Didn't Work For Me...

      THE PROBLEM: For decades I had struggled with always making enough, but never making a dime more.

      THE SOLUTION: Therese really listened when I said that what I call the “think positive thoughts” school of coaching hadn’t worked for me. So Therese took me in another direction and we talked about who I am, and how I function best, and most happily.

      Once we focused on how I work, I realized, actually I remembered that I work best in a team. And then I felt totally energized.

      I hired her in February of 2006. My decade-old goal, had been to bill out $15K/mo consistently. I had done it for short periods when I had specific projects, but never consistently. Starting in April 2006, in 2nd Q2006 I averaged $14.6K a month; 3rd Q2006 it was $12.6K average; 4thQ 2006 it went up to $24K; 1st Q 2007 I averaged a whopping $30K a month and for the first 2 months of I’m already at $59K which again is almost $30K a month. So in about a year I’ve not only reached my goal, I’ve doubled it.

      Some articles of clothing are listed “one size fits all” and in fact they will look good on a lot of people. I’m not knocking traditional coaching. If it fits, it’s great. But "one-size" didn’t fit me. Therese helped me find my style. It’s not just my work style, it’s my life style. And now that I remembered who I am – it’s easy to hit that silly $15K. I can’t even express how automatic that’s become. I can do that in my sleep. It’s that $30K I want to and usually do, reach now.
