Want to take a Bold, Outrageous, Provocative Leadership stance in YOUR Market this year?

February 26, 2010 by Andrea J. Lee  
Filed under Offerings/Activities

The Wealthy Thought Leader live-in-person training is coming up apace on March 18 through 20.  Buzzing is hardly the word, it seems, to describe things behind the scenes!

Meanwhile, as if bringing 75+ people together in one room isn’t enough – hang tight for the really incredible thought leadership that’s getting ready to emerge – we are adding a bold, new element of our own.

Now it’s possible to attend the Wealthy Thought Leader training in a simulcast format LIVE-via-video from your own chosen location. This means anyone with an internet connection and time to participate March 18th onwards, can now empower themselves with what’s needed to:

  • Stand out in an overwhelmed world (some would say full of infocr_p)
  • Match the above with high-end money models that are pliable and reliable
  • Sustain your money-making power with a personal, entrepreneurial ecosystem (this is delightful if a little vague to describe in a simple bullet)

Tickets are not el cheapo ‘just’ because it’s live-via-video, for one reason — this is not a pile of recordings for you to have as a ‘nice to’ in order to contribute to false feelings of ‘I’ve done something about my thought leadership, I’ve bought something.’

This is an opportunity for a embodied participatory experience from your satellite location, with a dedicated coach to just you and your simulcast compatriots, dedicated laser coaching call with me, and more, including social networking backchannel to interact directly with the presenters.

If you’re used to us here at Thought Partners International creating things that have never been seen before, here is another example, and I welcome you to check it out at this link.

Enjoy! And please send questions if you have them. When new ground is being broken – one can’t always be sure the message is being communicated – so your help letting me know if this is of value, could be of more value, and/or just isn’t landing, helps me enormously.

Here’s to a world of fierce entrepreneurialism accessible to all…my biggest prediction for the coming years.

P.S. Curious about adding a simulcast version to your OWN event? Post below please. Amongst all the preparations, it may be possible to do something about that, demand warranted.

Learn to cultivate best-of-class ideas, then act on them. It’s a community (planetary!) service

I have a confession to make.

I feel like I’m doing penance.

(Okay, if not penance, then at least balancing the scales a little.)

And I’m doing it head-on, fighting the good battle of what I’m calling ‘Crap Creep.’

Crap Creep.

It’s a good term, isn’t it? Instantly, you know what I mean.

Really. Look over there…see that pile of crap? Old receipts, unsolicited mail, flyers, packaging of all kinds and oh lord, your collection of crap is really complete if any Styrofoam peanuts have taken up residence.

Let’s not go too far into the realm of the crap on TV, in the news, or flapping around in the yard…it’s everywhere, including, I think, online.

Online, the crap has crept so high I shudder to try and visualize it.

And I think to myself, what if we were to give up, roll over on our proverbial backs and submit to all this crap…?

What if there wasn’t that one favorite (and critically acclaimed) show each season…

That stellar new talent, be it artist, singer, poet, physicist?

What fresh hell would that be, eh?

Well, I’m not ready to roll over. In fact, that’s where my penance comes in.

You see, I’ve realized something about my book, Multiple Streams of Coaching Income, published more than 5 years ago.

It could be argued, and it has in fact, this very night over dinner, that that book has brought home the message of packaging, productizing, formatting and repurposing so well to so many people, that a visitor from another planet could easily get the impression ‘ideas and content are incidental, and even irrelevant.’

(I didn’t in fact write that, but an error of omission is still an error worth correcting, when possible.)

Effective today, I’m taking my stand on the other side of the conversation.

Think. Just think of one great thought that has changed your world view. Not even inventions, but thoughts. Thoughts like –

We become most like the 5 people we spend the most time with.

Love is the answer.

The world is awash in money.*

We must be the change we want to see in the world.**

Opportunities don’t knock, they whisper, so shut up and listen.***

The thing is, every single one of us has great thoughts, but the world is so noisy, and our brains so busy fending off the infocrap that the gems don’t even register before they fall to the floor of our skull, never to be seen again.

Over, and over and over.

What if, instead of remarking ‘How fascinating!’ it is that we only use SUCH A TINY PERCENT of our brains… we actively worked to seize territory and activate new gray matter a quadrant at a time?

What thoughts could we come up, ourselves? Together? As a country or planet?

People who’ve learned to pay attention to their best thoughts, and act on them, are doing a community service. Strike that, make it a planetary service. They should get paid stipends, or get reductions on their taxes, if they aren’t already talented entrepreneurs. Maybe free gas for a year?

What if Tim Berners-Lee had received a giant pile of junk mail the day he was meant to think the thought that led to the invention of the internet, for example? I wouldn’t be typing this, you wouldn’t be reading it, and that certainly qualifies as a tragedy!

Even the New York Times is getting in on the act, reporting that thinking critically – analytically and originally, bearing in mind opposing vantage points – has begun to find its way into MBA courses. Thank goodness for small miracles.

So what’s the average, ordinary business owner to do about all of this?

1. Cultivate opinions.

In a me-too world of ‘who cares’ and ‘whatever he’s having,’ individuals who speak their mind clearly, and have something in that mind worth sharing, will become the standouts. They are the ones who’ll be heard in the marketing din, and attract evangelists.

Let me put it this way: ‘I think it’s an excellent idea to practice having strong opinions, starting at dinner parties. It allows you to build a cultivating-opinion muscle that will transfer to your business.’

2. Say NO to ‘infocrap.’

Consuming it, certainly, straight away. But also creating it. What project are you working on this week and what is the real value of it? What will it contribute to your clients? If you’re not sure, you’re either uncertain about communicating the value (a cool thing, because NEW ways of generating value are born every day and sometimes they sit just outside the realm of articulation).

Or, you’re not sure it contributes anything and it’s just crap. Taking a stand against Crap Creep is a great start. It frees you up to think those great thoughts again.

3. Birth something new of value.

Entrepreneurialism at its best is an evolutionary urge. (There’s that opinion thing again.) As business owners, we create the future. With every offering, every home-study kit, every retreat or live event, we are expressing our ourselves, and yes, our humanity.

When we look at thought leaders among us – those entrepreneurs who’re doing something different, combining unexpected things, approaching things from upside-down, solving an unspoken problem

….we get galvanized, don’t we? We know when something exciting is afoot. We’re attracted, we want to be part of it, we want to spend money experiencing it more. And we get hope. We’re reminded that we, too, could create something that great.

Creating something of real value is an act of love and commitment to our clients, and a nod of respect, to ourselves. It’s worth it, even when it feels like it’s against all the odds.

Predictions and An Invitation for 2010: Why Higher Quality Content Is Needed at Higher (but not inflated) Price Points

January 6, 2010 by Andrea J. Lee  
Filed under Offerings/Activities

2010 will be known for many things, but for entrepreneurs like us, some things are more sure than others.

  1. Free is becoming freer. No longer is it the coolest thing to give something away for free and ask for an email in exchange. In some circles, that’s just not free enough, and the really engaging thing to do is to release your thing into the wild, no email needed. If your market is one of those circles, you’re going to want to know.
  2. Free is becoming more expensive. On the other hand, delivering less is commanding more money. People want the perfect slice of information at exactly the right time, no more, no less. (More in this in ‘Excuse me, will you be my Google,’ a chapter in MSOCI. In an overwhelmed world of ‘infocrap’, filtering becomes of tremendous value and people will pay a premium for it. (Think Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free cookies.)
  3. Critical thinking muscles will get stronger. We’ve been let down repeatedly by the establishment in recent years (Enron, Madoff, the financial markets, pension plans in Canada, spiritual leaders such as James Ray) and painful though it is, people are beginning to wake up. In the self-help world, balanced dialog is increasing bit by bit, and artificially-inflated price points aren’t selling as well as before, or are being closed down.

This is all good news, because it directs us to a greater level of integrity, forcing us to look at what we do and inquire deeply as to our value. Doing so, we can grab the opportunity to increase our value, express our value well, and charge well (and fairly) for it.

The answer to a lot of this is not complicated – start by practicing having a strong, well thought-out opinion. Choose for yourself what you feel is important. Help others do the same. Hold high standards for your product and service offerings. Charge well, using sound business models and ethics, to reward yourself for all of the above.

An invitation…

The Wealthy Thought Leader 3-Day live event is officially on the books – just 70 days away and the first time in 4 years you can interact with me face-to-face. This is simple to understand: it’s a coaching booster shot the equivalent to many months of coaching.

For some of you, it’s time to meet my literary agent in the flesh, and see if your best content passes muster.

And for others, it’s high time to crawl inside the mentality of high-end (top dollar) money models, leaving the agony of $19 ebooks behind. Smart people selling cheap ebooks is often a doorway to hell, I’ve noticed. Time to press reset.

Well, I’ll call dibs.. I predict that 2010 is going to be the year of quality content at higher prices, leaders digging deeply into their maturing markets. If your content, money model, plan or idea isn’t ready, now’s the time to get in the game.

I invite you to join me for “The Wealthy Thought Leader – Leveraging Your Business With Ideas Worth Selling.”

The $25,000 to $100,000 Coaching Mastermind Program | Gimme The Scoop!

November 19, 2009 by Andrea J. Lee  
Filed under Offerings/Activities

‘Tis the season for year-end scrambles to fill new year-long coaching programs, so if you have ‘fill in application’ exhaust from reading newsletters these days, I can’t say I blame you. It seems like 95% of the great coaches in the community have chosen this week to announce their new offerings.

That said, these high-priced, high-commitment offerings didn’t happen overnight, and some of the biggest mastermind programs have just completed their first season.

So what is the scoop? Are these programs generating results? Are people buying in the second year? How do I do one? Do I really have to sign up for one to make big money? What is everyone else doing so I can be just different enough?

I’ll keep you posted on all those things, AND how you can do one – in the flavour of you – in the days to come, as I’ve received some requests to provide an X-ray analysis in the form of a new class.

It’s a fascinating experience, especially when the goal is to get market intelligence on what’s happening in the event world, the most current highly leveraged business models in play, and…to strengthen partnerships.

Plans are heating up, but the dates are in, so, if you’re the type to do that, please save them!

And email me with ‘March Vancouver’ in the subject line if you’d like the early announcement to secure tickets at – seriously – PRE early-launch pricing. I look forward to a memorable experience creating value for our world, together.

Canadian Thanksgiving Juju: *WIN* A Copy of ‘Advanced Streams of Coaching Income’ Contest Rules Here PLS RT

istock_000000682963xsmallCanadian Turkey Day, ahhh, all that tryptophan coursing through the veins of the nation. Mmm…cranberry sauce. You know, the only hope for a cranberry patch before the ‘move-over-raisin, now there’s something yummier’ craze kicked in.

Except, at our house, Mike was perverse and made an unworldy prime rib roast with Yorkshire pudding instead.

We’re blessed in more ways than one, for sure.

In honour of giving, with thanks, I’m giving away 5 copies of the Advanced Streams of Coaching Income Multimedia kit on Friday, October 16. This is the meat-off-the-bones stuff taken from years of individual coaching on Multiple Streams. The stuff that – if integrated, mind you – can really take you head and shoulders above the run-of-the-mill information business. The kind of coaching you want to run a marathon, as opposed to a sprint. Long haul stuff.

With 5 MP3s – one full track on each strategy, including examples sites and how-to steps – plus an immediately useful mini workbook (not transcript) – I am quite pleased with how this turned out. It can be hard to convey advanced strategies when not working on specific businesses, but this turned out so well, we’ve now released it in digital format at the Thought Partners store.

You can read more about the product (retails for US $96.75 – 5 individual MP3s plus mini-workbook) including the 5 strategies themselves here: http://bit.ly/Lruhb

Is your body just a way to get your head to meetings? ‘Remembering Your Body’ classes for Desk Jockeys | Open House/No-Fee Calls

istock_000007185737xsmallAre you aware of your body almost always in a slightly curved shape, chin towards your chest, like some kind of walking shrimp?

Have you observed that forcing yourself to stand up ‘straight’ in ‘good’ posture makes no difference, as soon as you stop paying attention?

Is there a way of being more comfortable at your desk, and having more movement available to you when you’re not there?

What about this sneaking sense you have of your eyes becoming as flat as the surfaces you look at for most of the day…what curiosity do you have about this?

The learning I’m doing in the body-awareness arena is creating profound affects in my well-being, and as part of my learning process, I’m holding two open house calls in which I will lead you in some gentle and intriguing movement sequences.

Each class will be an hour, with time for discussion and application. You will need to have a way of listening to the call while moving your body on the floor without being hindered. A speaker phone or wireless headset will do; even a cordless phone would be fine.

Size of space you need is about the size it takes for you to make a snow angel on the ground without hitting anything. Carpeted is preferred, but hard floors are OK – you can put down a beach towel.

There is no fee for these calls other than your own long distance charges.

Date/Time: Wednesday, October 7th and Tuesday, October 13th from 1000 to 1100 am Pacific/ 100 to 200 pm Eastern / 600 to 700 pm GMT)

Also…for further interest, here are three basic assumptions behind the classes; future classes will address other sensory-motor connections, and link those to leadership in thought, creativity and productivity in your work.

(1) Desk Jockeys sit for long hours at a time in a position of flexion.

(2) Desk Jockeys repeat limited movements with arms and little movement with their legs.

(3) Desk Jockeys use their eyes all day mostly in a 2 dimensional way looking at flat surfaces such as paper, laptops, etc.

This groundbreaking medium and material is available to you as a member of the Thought Partners International community. Classes will be recorded for my learning purposes, and if deemed appropriate, MP3s sent out. The best way to be assured of experiencing the material is to attend live. As my training in this material progresses, more formal classes and offerings will be made. Thank you for your interest and support!

Thomas Leonard’s Full Practice For Coaches | 100 Time-Tested Lessons From Coaching’s Founding Father

It’s Ready To Ship To You!

News that I’m now license holder of Thomas Leonard’s intellectual property has travelled fast, and I admit to two divergent feelings:

  1. Elation – that the massive productizing effort is finally underway. And…
  2. Fear – that my vision of extended, expanded reach into multiple niche markets will fall on its face.


So it’s with the powerful combination of joy and relief that I announce the first print title produced in Thomas Leonard’s name since his death 6 years ago
. Pictured here in its 2-paperback-volume, 2-CD glory:

Initial feedback from members of the Thomas Leonard Success
Strategies program (to whom all 6 print projects ship automatically) has been swift and kind:

“Thank you for
doing justice to Thomas’ work.”

“The material is
EVEN MORE professional than when Thomas delivered it.”

 ”I can now
actually USE and apply the lessons – I can’t wait!”

 ”Great quality,
great value pricing, great, great job!”

And volumes have now landed in Japan, Qatar, New Zealand, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Australia, the UK, and of course, Canada and the US. It is indeed a time for happy-dancing in these parts.

You’ll find full Table of Contents for all 100 lessons viewable there, or, click here to read a full sample lesson.

Open House Call: Online Business Management OR Navigating The Quarter Million Dollar Speed Bump

Open House Call from Wednesday April 1, 2009
Led by Andrea J. Lee and Tina Forsyth

Take just a moment and imagine…the corporate world without managers. Jokes aside for a sec, now ask…where are the equivalent managers in the online business world?

As online businesses grow, especially to the now-famous Quarter Million Dollar Speed Bump, it quickly becomes mission critical to get a certain kind of help. Not the administrative kind but the strategic kind. The Virtual Assistant on steroids (not literally, okay?) is what Tina Forsyth and I have dubbed the Online Business Manager, and the demand for OBMs is nothing short of extraordinary. When the right OBM joins a business, the results are too.

Join this call to learn the 5 key reasons you may benefit from having an OBM, how to know when you’re ready to hire and the things you can expect an OBM will do. Even if you’re not quite ready to hire, and you anticipate filling the role for yourself for now, join the call to get much more strategic about it. 

Online Business Managers and aspiring OBMs are welcome too – there won’t be an OBM-related conversation that’s more client-centric than this. We’ll also give a brief intro to the Association of OBMs where clients and OBMs can meet, and the release of the world’s first OBM certification.

To listen to the recording from this live call just click the “Play” button below:

And, as mentioned on the call, here are some of the additional resources mentioned for your convenience:

  • To browse a directory of OBM’s who are in various stages of certification, including highly experienced, to newbies, click here.
  • To see the list of ‘What you can expect an OBM to be able to do’ go to the OBM certification page
  • And last but not least, if you’re fairly new to this whole topic, you may be curious about the book Tina Forsyth wrote on the subject, called Becoming and Online Business Manager.

Open House Call: What Does Knowing How To Say Goodbye Have To Do With Being A Great Coach, Consultant Or Other Conscious Business Owner?

Open House Call on Wednesday April 15, 2009
Led by Andrea J. Lee

Have you ever fired a coach or been fired by a client? Were those goodbyes constructive coaching moments, as good as or better than the rest of the relationship?

Goodbyes, like little deaths, are one of those tough things in life, and as usual, I have high expectations of coaches to lead the way in tough things. Great goodbyes can be things of beauty, openings to unique moments of learning, and are a mark of personal mastery.

Join this call to learn what to do, and what to avoid when saying goodbye to a client, or a client is saying goodbye to you. Together, we’ll discuss the necessity for coaches to proactive anticipate and facilitate a positive goodbye, and how to begin doing that.

As our mastery of coaching grows, this topic needs addressing for the simple reason that the fear of saying goodbye prevents greater intimacy. When you can get courageous, committed, yet detached from any associated pain of goodbye, that’s the moment you can engage to the fullest as a coach.

Open House Call: Me, My Brain, My Meatsack | What Your Body Wants To Say To You About Money, Meaning & Productivity

Open House Call on April 8, 2009
Led by Andrea J. Lee

Do you feel as though you’re too smart for your own good sometimes? The amount of time you spend at a computer, thinking things up, are you basically a brain-on-a-stick?

Why do you even have a physical body anyways? For all you move it around some days, it could just as well be a sack of meat hanging off your neck, right?

It’s the ‘Me, My Brain, My Meatsack’ syndrome – the elephant in the room few are talking about, and that’s just wrong! We live our lives tied so much to flat, square, illuminated screens, the physical world replaced by pixels, it’s no wonder we’re disoriented on weekends, trying to relate to flesh and blood people!

This will be an interactive, experiential call in which we’ll engage your eyes, your back, and okay, your buttocks. Parental guidance not required, no permission from doctors needed either. If you’re curious how my Feldenkrais(r) training has strengthened my business coaching chops, come to this call for useable coaching exercises that will set you apart.

Remember…

This call is one of a series of open ones we’re holding regularly at Thought Partners International. The goal is to stretch our minds into new areas, the better to keep limber and awake. I hope you’ll find time to join us for some yoga of the mind.

Advanced Strategies for Multiple Streams of Coaching Income

In sharing the Multiple Streams of Coaching Income book last week I was reminded of how far we’ve come in what seems like such a short time! (I can’t believe it’s been over 4 years since the first edition of the book).

And in that time there have been lots of advancements in technology.  Lately, the economy has forced some evolution.  And more than anything, our capacity as coaches to apply rigor and sophisticated thinking has grown. Quite simply, we’ve come a long way, baby.  :-)

What would I do differently, myself, in applying Multiple Streams to my business today, as compared to say 4 years ago? How does this, the current economic climate, etc. provide us with even greater opportunities to build multiple streams in a way that uniquely suits you?

Join me for a lively and sometimes deeper, more thoughtful conversation about Multiple Streams in 2009 and forward.  Time permitting, I’ll also cover advanced strategies that normally are reserved for 1-on-1 coaching clients; they’ve done so well with them it’s time to share more widely. :-)   


And, if you haven’t already, do take some time before the call to review the Multiple Streams book itself. Whether you prefer the print copy or the downloadable you grabbed last week…dip your toe in just a little won’t you?  And then join the thought-stream…

Here is a sneak peek of the 5 Advanced Strategies discussed on the call

  • Strategy #1: Infrastructure Vs Information

  • Strategy #3: Fewer Big Ideas Vs a Lot of Little Ideas
  • Strategy #4: Making the Rules Vs Looking for the Rules
  • Strategy #5: Escape Plans Vs Balls and Chains

Could a Direct Selling Model Support Coaching and Coaches in a New Way?

December 10, 2008 by Andrea J. Lee  
Filed under For Coaches, Offerings/Activities

Open House Call: Thursday, December 18, 2008

If there’s one thing I think we can agree on, it’s that coaching is a gift in all its forms. Whether it’s the pivotal coaching question on your page-a-day desk calendar, an intense half-day workshop with 500 others, in an online environment with people around the world, or, in a small intimate group in front of your fireplace, a coaching approach delivered well has the power to change lives.

You might not be surprised by how often I’ve asked myself, in the privacy of my own mind, what models or approaches have we not yet adopted or adapted, that would prove excellent vehicles for coaching?

When approached by Kim George, author of The Abundance Quotient and Kim Fulcher, author of Remodel Your Reality with the business model for Compass, I was intrigued by what this might mean for coaching, and excited by the possibilities for yet another way coaching can spread through the world.

Join me along with the two Kims, to learn more about how you can:

  • Build a new income stream using Compass’ coaching business system.
  • Expand your influence using their unique web-based platform.
  • Increase your client base by connecting with an audience that is pre-qualified.
  • Offer affordable coaching programs that especially meet the needs of clients today, and support them to make improvements in their lives.

Especially if you are new to business building, and are frustrated with the lack of traction you’ve been getting working solo, this call may be the thing for you. More than anything, whether advanced or new as a coach, what I think you’ll find is that the Compass team is truly a first-class team with the courage and heart to forge new ground, and I look forward to learning a great deal in this call.
