Hear me read the Tao of Entrepreneurship TOMORROW, Feb. 25!

Guess what’s the single biggest complaint I hear from my clients and others these days?

It's that they had no idea how difficult BEING an entrepreneur was going to be…..they thought the se_cret was in the latest marketing strategy, or getting their web site up.

But if there is one thing I have learned over the years as a coach, consultant and trainer, it’s that it’s not so much what you are doing but who you are being and believing that makes the difference between failure and success.

I am delighted to announce that TOMORROW, I will be officially releasing my latest book, The Tao of Entrepreneurship: 52 Lessons on Applying Spiritual Principles to Business Ownership. It’s not another textbook or any kind of “how to do it” book – it’s a series of weekly lessons that will take you through a year of how to BE an entrepreneur, and achieve the success you desire! And it’s the first book I can say actually came “through” me rather than “from” me.

Find out more here: http://www.purposefulentrepreneur.com/products/taoreading.html

Let’s face it – if you are like most of the entrepreneurs I know, you started your business because you wanted to have more time, freedom and money. You want to spend your time creating value and contributing - not struggling and looking for every opportunity possible to get more visibility and make more money, right?

If you are feeling stuck, it’s not because you don’t know enough, or aren’t doing enough…you are stuck because you don’t yet have the right mindset.

The Tao of Entrepreneurship is the ultimate “how to BE” an entrepreneur book.

Won’t you join me and an elite group of listeners to be among the first to hear this book read LIVE this Wednesday? I am doing an evening reading at 8 pm Wed. to debut the book, and another at noon Eastern this Friday Feb. 27 for those of you in Europe or who prefer daytime calls. Reserve your place on one (or both!) of these calls here: http://www.purposefulentrepreneur.com/products/taoreading.html - the content will be different in each!

Hope to hear you on these inspiring calls…I can’t wait to hear what Spirit leads me to share with you!

Remember, there's a Gift Bonus JUST for being among the first: get the weekly e-course version – a lesson per week delivered to your email – FR_EE if you purchase your copy on or before March 15, 2009.

Entrepreneurship Among Boomers Hits Today Show

Media Alert from CCI and Purposeful Entrepreneur.com

Did you know...that there are so many Baby Boomers starting and growing businesses now that the Today Show featured it on yesterday's broadcast?

More than 15.8 million people are self-employed, half of which are Baby Boomers. In a segment titled "Fearless Boomers Starting Over," Matt Lauer interviewed a financial expert and a "Boomerpreneur" too and revealed why the entrepreneur market is perhaps the fastest growing way to work there is!

Check out the segment here:

And if YOU are interested in coaching the millions of people that are already entrepreneurs and growing their businesses (81% of them are!), or those that want to transition to self-employment, you have ONE more day to join us for the Coaching Purposeful Entrepreneurs to Success teleseries, which begins tomorrow!

I invite you to register at www.purposefulentrepreneur.com/coaching-teleclass.html

Cash In on the Purposeful Entrepreneur Movement

Have you been wondering what you need to do to bring in more clients, or start your own coaching business? How about learning to coach entrepreneurs (or would-be entrepreneurs)?

Just last night, I turned on the end of Larry King just in time to hear a financial expert tout the benefits of starting a business if you’re laid off in this economy. Entrepreneur magazine also features a story on this in its Feb. issue. Could there be a theme here?

This is an area of coaching that we get ongoing inquiries about at Career Coach Institute. Maybe it’s time you considered it too? (And I know from teaching an earlier class around this topic that everyone who participates also applies the principles they learn to their own business too, enhancing their success!)

Sadly, many new business owners make some critical mistakes that keep them from growing like they should - and as you probably know, 80% of new businesses don't make it past the first two years.

So tonight, Thursday, Feb. 5, at 8 pm Eastern, I am doing a first time EVER call entitled, "Learn to Coach Entrepreneurs with Purpose!" I'm going to be sharing with you my BRAND NEW Purposeful Entrepreneur™ model for coaching business owners to become stellar examples of success - in ANY economy. (Two of my colleagues just broke 7 figures using this approach - one just last month!)

On this call, you will discover:

• The 3 biggest myths about coaching business owners


• Why now is the best time in history to help entrepreneurs develop key strategies


• A new way of helping entrepreneurs that has nothing to do with a business plan - but is the primary reason they get stuck along the way!


• Traits for success as a business coach


• And more!
  

Won't you join me? Just fill in the blanks here: http://www.purposefulentrepreneur.com/preview.html - the call is open to CCI grads and students as well as others within our community. Feel free to invite a friend too!

PS Remember, this class is limited to just 175 participants, and there are already 125 registered! Reserve your spot now at http://www.purposefulentrepreneur.com/preview.html

Millionaire Entrepreneur Awards were a BLAST!

My husband and I were blessed to be among the 60 entrepreneurs invited to the first annual David Neagle Million Dollar Entrepreneur Awards January 26 in Carlsbad, CA. WOW! I got to meet so many people that I previously knew only through Facebook...and be inspired by the success of the two award winners, Fabienne Fredrickson and Christine Kloser - with whom I had spent the past week at the Freedom Formula Event too!

Here are a few photos of this wonderful evening, including networking on the terrace, an elegant dinner, time with Marissa Tomei and dancing till the wee hours...ah, this is the (entrepreneurial) life!
