I messed up last night’s public call. If you were on the call live, or as you listen to the recording, you might think: “Huh? Did I miss something?” Yes, it was a smooth call and I’m proud of the content. But when it got to the part where I describe the Turn Your Passion [...] Are you hugely passionate about what you do?

In this 3-minute video, you’ll discover why this is one of the most common roadblocks for self-employed coaches and complementary therapists. [...] I got an email last week which pissed me off.

She’s promoting her latest offering – a new group programme – and after describing it in her email to her massive list of readers, she wrote: “I promise, this is perfect for [...] Last week, we completed the first ever ‘Turn Your Passion To Profit’ group programme.

Fully booked. All places spoken for. How would it feel if we were talking about YOUR service? Imagine: you’re really doing what you’re here to do, you have a full roll-call of people eager to be helped by you and to benefit from your passion. Would you feel complete? Aligned? Solid? Satisfied? Sadly, [...] Once upon a time, I didn’t make a lot of money through following my passion. In fact, I’d have made more money if I’d worked stacking shelves at my local Tesco. I was good at what I did, I was becoming quite well-known in certain circles, so why wasn’t the money following? Simple reason: I [...] In a nutshell, the difference between following your passion as a hobby… and following your passion as a business… comes down to financial transactions.
