		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re like most entrepreneurs, you have a list of goals that you want to accomplish in the new year.  How cool would it be to make those goals happen with a lot less effort… almost as if by magic? The secret is to identify your &#8220;whoosh goal&#8221; – the one goal that makes all the others possible. Think of a stack of dominos, all in a line, very close to one another.  What happens when you push the first one over?  With that one simple action, all the other dominos fall over – in a big WHOOSH.  Your whoosh<a href="http://www.marketinggoddessblog.com/2012/01/21/quick-tip-whats-your-whoosh-goal/">...  -> Read On</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the tree is taken down, the Yule log burned out, the eggnog all gone and the lights put away. The new year is here! It’s a time of reflection, looking forward, and making positive changes. Perhaps you’ve made a few New Year’s Resolutions for your life and business. Personally, I’ve never had much luck with New Year’s Resolutions because the vibe feels punishing, not promising – like I’m going to have to work hard or struggle to create the positive change that I want. That’s when I hit upon the idea of creating New Year’s habits. Habits are small,<a href="http://www.marketinggoddessblog.com/2011/12/28/10-new-years-success-habits-for-the-divine-entrepreneur/">...  -> Read On</a>]]></description>

In a VIP day, you come together with your client in a very focused fashion to support them with a particular challenge or problem. Instead of spreading out your coaching or consulting time over a matter of weeks or months, you &#8220;go deep&#8221; over a period of a single day. The VIP day is a tremendous opportunity to serve your clients at a higher level.

If you&#8217;re like many solopreneurs building a business online, you think of a Launch-with-a-capitol-L: affiliate partners all promoting for you, a list of thousands, hitting the &#8220;send&#8221; button on the fateful email with the link to your order page and your inbox overflowing with orders as the stampede of hungry clients hits&#8230;. Well, I hate to be the one to burst any bubbles, but&#8230; it doesn&#8217;t quite work that way.  As you may know all too well if you&#8217;ve ever tried<a href="http://www.marketinggoddessblog.com/2010/03/10/is-this-launch-myth-costing-you-big-time/">...  -> Read On</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s probably nothing more frustrating than pouring your heart and soul into creating a program, putting it out there into the world and&#8230; nobody buys.  It&#8217;s like planning an incredible party and then nobody comes.  Not fresh! The great news is, the reason why nobody&#8217;s buying usually comes down to one of just a few things.  Once you get a feel for what makes an offer fizzle or fly-off-the-shelves, you can design your programs and offerings to be irresistible. Here are 4 questions to ask yourself the next time you&#8217;ve made a great offer and are still wondering, &#8220;Why won&#8217;t<a href="http://www.marketinggoddessblog.com/2010/03/03/why-theyre-not-buying-from-you-and-what-you-can-do-about-it/">...  -> Read On</a>]]></description>

Often I hear &#8220;spirit-and-soul-preneurs&#8221; say they want more clients.  But when it gets right down to it, they don&#8217;t really want as many clients as they think they do (or think they &#8220;should&#8221;). The biggest fear?  Overwhelm. (Otherwise known as &#8220;too many clients, not enough time.&#8221;)  Sometimes they&#8217;re conscious of this fear, sometimes not.  Either way, they hold themselves back, and end up more frustrated than before.

The question is, does your business model allow you to create incredible income while serving lots of your choice clients, or&#8230; not? If you&#8217;re like most of these business owners, you started in business by hanging out your shingle and serving clients one-on-one.   Working 1-on-1 is the prevailing business model for self-employed service businesses, including spirit-rich, purpose-driven owners like coaches, metaphysical consultants, designers, and healers. Trouble is, in the 1-on-1 business model, you&#8217;re always limited by one key factor: your time. When you&#8217;re out of time, you&#8217;ve also capped your income&#8230; and<a href="http://www.marketinggoddessblog.com/2010/01/13/is-your-business-model-setting-you-up-for-success-or-failure/">...  -> Read On</a>]]></description>
