Success Stories My income goal for the year was to increase by 33%. As a direct result of the actions I took in the Inner Circle, I ended up increasing my income by 75% this year through sales and teaching. I m amazed at the results I am capable of when I do the numbers and plan ahead! Peggi Habets PeggiHabets.com I knew that there was room for improvement in my art business, and have worked with coaches in the past. It wasn t until I worked with Alyson and her team that I was able to have a clear direction for my art business. With this clearer focus, I am much more confident in who I am as an artist, and in my art business. This confidence is so important because I now have a better idea of what to commit to doing and why. Equally important is the community that I have found with other members of the Inner Circle. Lynn Goldstein LynnGoldstein.com Working with Alyson was the best thing I did for my business last year. My business took off and my revenue doubled! Carolyn Young CarolynYoungCeramics.com
FAQs for the Inner Circle Q: What if I make art that s different from other members? I love this question! What I d like to impart to you is that marketing is marketing and business-building is business-building regardless of what type of art you make. All kinds of artists take my classes, consult with me, and learn from my book. I even have followers who are musicians, writers, storytellers, and dancers. Whatever your business, you will find the tools and support you need in the Inner Circle program. Q: I am working in a structured program with someone else right now. Should I wait to enroll in the Inner Circle? I m so happy that you re working with another coach or mentor. And, yet, I don t want you to think that you can get everything you need from just one person. I am constantly seeking advice and expertise from those who have the knowledge and experience I m looking for. I seek guidance for mindset and spirituality (which I think is vital to personal and professional growth), Internet marketing, business growth, and more. No single person can give me everything and hold me accountable in all of these areas. I want the same level of accountability, access to best practices, and consistent support for you. If you re not experiencing the growth you desire with your current support system, please join us now. Why would you delay your positive results? Q: What if I can t afford it? I have always said that I don t want anyone investing in my programs or coaching if it will cause financial hardship. I mean this. You must be at a place where you are ready to invest in your business and do the work to see results. You will always find other ways to spend your money, so you have to be clear that investing in yourself is a priority. Where will you be a few years from now if you don t invest in your business and yourself now? My goal is that you receive double your investment (in additional income) within 18-24 months. It s every bit as important to me that you are successful with your goals as it is to you.
Q: What if I work with a spouse, partner or office manager? Your success will be that much faster when you have the loyal support of someone close to you. If you have someone who works closely with you in your business, they can join all aspects of the program for a one-time administrative fee. Q: Why can t I do this on my own? Well, you sure can. And since you re an artist a natural DIYer you ve probably been doing it on your own for quite some time. So, let me ask you this: How has that been working for you? Has it gotten you to where you want to be? We always do better when we work with others. We re too close to our own businesses too busy grinding out the daily tasks to see what s possible. That s why I invest in the best mentors and coaches and, frankly, why I wish I had done it a whole lot sooner. I tried to put together groups of entrepreneurial women on my own. They worked for a while. But what seems to happen in these situations is that some people are more committed than others. Without the leadership of a coach, the group members that are the most committed get frustrated and leave. Q: The timing isn t right for me. Can I join later? Here s what I know: There is never a perfect time to expand your business. You ll never have more time and you ll never have fewer obligations than you do now. The stars will never align and say, Hey, let s do this thing NOW! so don t wait for it to happen. If you re saying that the timing isn t right, ask yourself if that is true. Is it that the timing isn t right or that you are scared to make such a big commitment to your future? I also know this: I need my coach and support group even more when I m especially busy. If you ve been saying or thinking that you want your business to grow, now is the time to commit to actions that match what s in your head and heart. There is no time like the present to begin living your higher purpose. Ready to Get Started?
