Leading an Organization of One


How to run your very small business

without it running you!

Dear Professional,

It happened again. Another person bought into the "professionals don't market" myth.

Tuesday morning, I received two emails. Two very different endings to the same story.

Sam's message was, "I'm dropping out of our professional association."

He'd come to believe he just didn't have what it takes to be successful in a solo practice. He said things like,

"I develop new services and new products, but no one buys them. I was doing okay during the boom times, but with this economy, I'm just not making it. People like me shouldn't have to market, my skills should stand on their own. If I were really good, clients would just come. Marketing is too much like bragging. . .it makes me feel dirty to solicit for clients. I'm a professional. . .not a marketer."

Now he's neither. . .

And he's not the only loser. His clients and colleagues are losing also, because Sam is an awesome professional. His skills could dance circles around most of his colleagues.

What a difference in the email from "Lisa."

Lisa was a stay at home mom who had been building her part-time business into into a viable career. She was bubbling over.

Her new product site was up! "Click here! Tell me what you think. Buy my products, they're great! Sign up for my e-zine. . . you'll wonder how you got along without it!!! I'll see you next month: I'm headlining the association workshop!"

Lisa was building her business, while Sam was closing his. What made the difference?

Like so many professionals, Sam couldn't find a way of combining who he was as a professional with who he could be as a business person. Lisa knew how to
strategize, organize, and implement systems for running a one-person business.

And now you can too.

Thanks to a new resource I developed based on the experience of Sam and Lisa, and hundreds like them. It's called
Leading an Organization of One. It's specifically designed for entrepreneurs and small business owners like you, who need to expand your view of who you are as a professional and develop a business structure to support and extend your awesome skills. . . so you too can bring your skills and talents to the very people and organizations who will most benefit from what you do and who you are.

All while you're serving more clients, making more money, and experiencing much more professional satisfaction.

Leading an Organization of One changes your mind and your behavior so you will:

  • Develop a focus and strategic vision for your business based on your skills, talents, and passions. . .a focus consistent with where you are in your life, your relationships, your age, and your plans for your future;

  • Help you find the right mix of services and products consistent with your skills and experiences;

  • Uncover the profitability of each of your services so you can make informed decisions about new business development efforts;

  • Get past your reluctance to "market and sell myself" with business development systems congruent with your professional image and stature;

  • Never make another cold call again (unless you really love them!);

  • Bring your services to the very people who most want and need what you offer;

  • Find clients who will pay what your services are worth;

  • Provide better quality service while being compensated fairly for what you do;

  • Achieve financial rewards appropriate to your training and experience, and let's face it, the significant impact you have;

  • Spend significantly less time with the administrivia of running a one person business while getting significantly better results from your efforts;

  • Implement business systems to monitor your progress against your targeted goals, giving you early warning signals to correct for unforeseen incidents and opportunities;

  • Plan time for professional and personal development and renewal; and,

  • Decrease the amount of time you spend working at your business, while making more money and having more time for your family, personal interests, hobbies, and just plain fun!

Leading an Organization of One is a learning system that is designed to change your mind and change your behavior. It includes:

  • The unique One Page Business Tools system. You'll be able to take your whole business "on the road" with you, where ever you go, in a simple pocket folder, on your lap-top, or in your PDA.

  • The forms and templates for developing the core One-Page Business Tools. . .in both print and electronic forms, ready for your immediate use.

  • Specific lessons and exercises to shift your mind set from a professional who hopes and waits for work to an entrepreneurial professional who attracts lots clients who benefit from your services and are willing to pay.

  • A complete reference learning system:

    • Four audio CD's to listen to in your car, and while at your desk;

    • A complete 100+ page manual, with examples, case studies, formulas and forms to adopt and adapt;

    • Downloadable files with templates, forms and files ready to use; you won't have to enter formulas into spreadsheets, build financial files or design templates. These forms and templates are updated as new info becomes available; and,

    • A web site to keep your information updated and to provide you with an ever expanding set of resources.


The truth about most learning programs:

If you're like most people who buy learning programs as a solution to your challenges, you'll start working the program with a rush, and then begin to fade.

A client emergency comes up.

You land a big contract and "don't have time" for all that running the business stuff. . . you're too busy making money.
The dog eats your homework.

It's a common pattern, one I've seen lots. (And struggled with myself at times!)

Any learning program this complete is too big to do all at once.

We all implement great ideas, techniques and tools programs of this size little by little.

We all need ongoing support to fully realize the potency of this kind of learning program.

That's why I developed:

The Secret Weapon:

Included with your Leading an Organization of One program will be the Quick Start Implementation System (QSIS) to help you take the plunge and start using your new business tools.

During the next six months, you'll receive spaced, specific lessons, tools and resources about what to do next, as you shift your business practices to this new routine.

The self paced
QSIS will:

  • keep you from being overwhelmed;

  • start shifting your mind set to a more professional/entrepreneurial perspective; and,

  • prevent your getting stuck at "now what" decision points.


You'll start benefiting from your new tools right away, even before they're all up and running.

You'll develop the thinking and activity habits that will ensure your success as you adopt a new way of leading your own organization of one.

QSIS will flesh out the materials in the Leading an Organization of One learning system and extend the usefulness of the tools even further.


Now, here's the deal. Over the years, I've worked with lots of professionals, getting their businesses up and running, or back on track.

The investment for this consulting can quickly add up into five or even six figures.

And, my clients will assure you it is worth every penny.

But, thanks to the miracles of modern technology, and your willingness to learn online, you can get the whole program, manual, audio CD's, online templates and files, and the
Quick Start Implementation System, for only $297.


Do these models work?

You bet. These are the tools I used to restart my business. . .to be self supporting within three months, and then double my income the second year and again in the third year. In the fourth year. . .I quadrupled it.

And it's worked for others too.

See what other, one-person business owners just like you have said:

Media Personality Dian Thomas comments, ". . . I fell in love with the simple methods and techniques Pat developed to help run and manage my business. She takes the complicated and insurmountable and puts it on one-pagers. . .which support me and my dreams. I whole heartedly recommend Pat and her simple, effective, and efficient Leading an Organization of One."

Therapist Sabrina Braham reports, "Starting with the first lesson in your program, I was getting the answers I needed. I am going to recommend this program to anyone who would like to improve the way they operate their one-person business."

TechTamers Guru, Dr. Jeanette Cates says, "Great resource! I started immediately to apply your ideas. . .and thanks to the Quick Start, I stayed on track!"

Self development guru Randy Gage says, "Packed with money-making information for entrepreneurs."

Guarantee:

You are probably wondering, will this program work for me? Will it help me dig out from the mess on my desk and the frustrations I have with running my one-person business?

I have to answer. . .it has for other people.

Whether or not it will work for you is up to you.

I can't guarantee your business will flourish like magic just by buying
Leading an Organization of One. Any new learning program is only as good as the time and attention you put into implementing it. If you don't do the work on your business, you won't get the results you want.

But I do know that you will get more than the price of the whole program by implementing just one of the new ideas and tools you will get.

Get started now. . .

p.s.

During this introductory period, and since we all need all the help we can get during these challenging times, and I feel so strongly that

Bonus 1: Position Yourself as THE Expert in Your Field, Your Niche in Less than 18 Months. No frills here...just solid specific steps you can take that will jump start your campaign so that your prospects will think of you first when they need and want what you offer. Now if I developed a specific plan just for you, it would cost more than $5,000. And if I added 18 months of coaching to ensure you followed all of the steps, you could add another $45,000. But if you can use a template and adapt it to your business, then this special report will be worth a lot more than $50,000 to you.

Bonus #2: Get More Business Just by Speaking This is a dynamite audio program by Mark S.A. Smith, a consummate marketer. In this program you'll learn how to increase your business by making speeches to people who want what you offer. Giving free speeches continues to be one of the most effective marketing tactics for my consulting services.

Mark will teach you step by step how to write the speech, find audiences who need you, easily book the speech, and most importantly, how to get business from audience members. Plus, you'll have a complete written guide to follow as he packs all the details into his presentation.
