Women entrepreneurs: we may not have met but I think I know you

orangesweater_highresEven if we haven’t met face to face, I bet I know a few things about you…

I know that you have courage you don’t give yourself credit for – I mean, you could have played it safe and chosen a “job” with a steady paycheck.  Or climbed the corporate ladder.  Right?

But that’s not what you wanted.

You wanted to be your own boss.  You wanted the flexibility of setting your own schedule, your own hours (even though that means some days you work till midnight!).

Or maybe you pursued your passion instead of tolerating a job that wasn’t satisfying for you.

I also know that despite the “marketing smile” you wear in public, sometimes you feel like a fraud, an imposter.  Sometimes you don’t feel as confident as you look.

Secretly you worry that someday, someone will “discover” that you really don’t know what you’re doing.

I also know that very likely you didn’t get special training in “how to be a woman entrepreneur” – and that’s true even if you have an MBA!  Because the real world doesn’t play out like what’s in the text books.

I know that you have dreams for your business, that you want it to grow, but you’re already working so hard that the thought of getting “bigger” feels like one more burden.

I know that sometimes it feels like every time you take step forward, there’s a step back.

I know sometimes you just feel stuck.  And alone.

I know this because I’ve worked exclusively with women business owners for sixteen years – in every industry you can imagine – from retail to doggie day cares to professional service firms to manufacturing companies.

I also know that most businesses reach a stage where they need very specific tools and concrete, practical directions.

And in that stage I know that the woman entrepreneur has to take a long hard look at herself.  She has to increase her business knowledge and her leadership abilities.  She has to move from “doing” to “leading.”

And I know for certain that’s entirely possible.

I’ve seen it happen, and been fortunate to be a part of that transition.  I know that when you learn the tools and processes necessary to get through this stage of growth, you can get unstuck and grow.

Getting bigger doesn’t have to mean working harder.

Your business can thrive and your life can become less stressful.  Your business can grow and become less dependent on you.  Your life can look like YOUR version of success.

Here’s what else I know:  I have no silver bullet, no quick fix, no magic wand to wave, no pixie dust to sprinkle.

If that’s what you’re looking for, then you can stop reading right here.  I don’t offer hype, oversimplified solutions and sound bites.  I don’t over-promise and under-deliver.

What I do offer is step-by-step learning.  It’s not sexy.  It’s not glamorous.

It’s the truth — the real deal.  I can show you the road map to get from where you are to where you want to be.

But I can’t do it alone.

You have to participate.  You have to be willing to risk who you are for who you can become.

And I know that’s not for everyone.  You have to want it.

Are you willing to learn the tools and the leadership skills necessary to grow?

If your answer is “Yes!” then I hope you’ll apply.

I’m now accepting ten students to take my seven-session e-course called THRIVE!  How to Get Unstuck and Grow your Business. 

If you are one of those ten, here’s what you’ll get:

  • Five online e-courses (lessons on planning, structure, financials and accountability)
  • Two 45-minute one-on-one coaching sessions (following sessions 3 and 5)
  • Tools that enable you to work “on” your business not just “in” your business
  • Interactive templates (so you don’t need to reinvent the wheel)
  • Guidelines that will show you how to transition from “doing” to “leading”
  • Knowledge on how to move from chaos to order
  • Instructions on how to standardize processes and procedures
  • Leadership skills to help you increase employee commitment, engagement and accountability

And if you do the work, here’s what you REALLY get:

  • The increased confidence that education and tools can bring
  • The peace of mind of knowing your company will be less dependent on you
  • The financial success to live the life you really want

And here’s the best part — since it’s online learning, you have lots of flexibility on when you view the courses.

  • The e-courses are sent to you weekly — curl up and view them at your convenience, any time before the following session.
  • Your coaching sessions are scheduled a week in advance.

Think it over.

Ask yourself this:  “How much can my revenues increase in just one year if I can get unstuck and grow this business?”

Compare that with your investment in the seven-session online course:  $1295 and your time (45-60 minutes per session).  If you do the work, the skills you learn will last a lifetime and you will recover your investment a hundred times over.

As with all my training, I offer a 100% money-back guarantee.  If you’re not completely satisfied, I’ll refund your payment.  No hassles.  No hurt feelings.  No risk.

So I hope you’ll take this opportunity to learn substantive, practical, essential business skills that will give you the confidence you need for your business (and you!) to THRIVE!

Only ten places are available and the deadline for application is Monday, January 6, 2013.  The e-course begins on Friday, January 10.

P.S.  Oh, there’s one more thing I know:  if you’re willing to learn, you CAN go from feeling like an impostor to feeling like a smart, capable, unstoppable woman entrepreneur.
