The outline for the 12 lessons.
In the online class we discuss these in detail and examine how they can impact the success of your practice. Copyright 2000-2007 Andrea Reynolds.

1. Do the one thing you absolutely love and charge for it.
2. Ignore the dream-killers around you.
3. Promote your own name rather than a company name.
4. Position yourself as the leader in your niche, not a follower or an also-ran.
5. Narrow your niche even more or create a new niche if necessary.
6. Multiply yourself by offering your specialized knowledge in a variety of formats.
7. Attract people to you, rather than "knocking on doors" to get clients.
8. Avoid obvious paid advertising.
9. Avoid working for free.
10. Get paid to promote yourself.
11. Do fun things that just happen to be newsworthy.
12. Be a memorable person: a contrarian, a maverick, a pioneer, a rebel.
Can you accept all 12 of these principles? They aren't as simple as you think because they contradict traditional thinking. How many of them conflict with your current marketing methods? Be honest.

Method

• You'll get a lesson from me each day and you'll also be on a private, small group, Yahoogroups discussion list (short-term) where everyone in the class can post comments, questions and requests for brainstorming. I encourage introductions.

• You will receive all the questions I receive and all the answers and examples I provide to each member of the class. If there is enough interest I'll keep the list open past the last class for helpful interaction.

• You don't need to be online at any specific time, you just need to be signed up for the class in enough time to get all the materials and communications.

• I also ask that the discussion list correspondence not be made available to non-paying students. It's an honor system: if two or more of you are using the materials you must pay for two or more people.

 

Comments from students who have already participated in this class:

"The most significant aspect to me was redefining my expertise into language that everyone could both understand and relate to. The reverberations are being felt all cross my work and focus. It has also jump-started a number of additional products and seminars which I will be offering. I do want to take this opportunity to thank you, Andrea, and to thank everyone else who has been in the class. You have all given me a lot of food for thought, and that is worth gold."

"The class helped me see more positive viewpoints and possibilities."
