A Direct, Personal, and Rapid approach to making a difference and making a profit, without losing your heart in the process.

Your business is uniquely you. It needs to look like you, feel like you, and support you in being who you are, not in following some off-the-shelf solution. And, it also needs to make a profit.

Hi Mark,

After three months I have three times as many clients. And I can see where there is room for more! Thank you!

Melanie Clarke, client

As you begin to read through this page, I’ll let you know that although I love working with clients, I’m seeing very few individual clients right now. Why? Heart of Business has been becoming a company, and I’ve turned my attention to leading a team. We have some amazing practitioners who are much more available than I am.

That said, I do take on the occasional client if we’re a super-great match.

There are three things you need to be successful in business:

1. Know-how. You have to know what you are doing. You can dream all you want, but if you don’t know effective marketing, or pricing strategies, or business structures, it’s going to be a mess, or very, very quiet in your business. Know-how alone isn’t enough, but without it, you go nowhere fast.
2. Clarity. When there are a thousand priorities, which one do you start on? Once you have the know-how, you need to have clarity of direction and the support to stay true to your course, so the winds of chance don’t blow you off-course or sink you.
3. Spiritual Alignment. This is the most important step of all. Lots of people have know-how, fewer have clarity. Very few people know how to reach and hold their spiritual alignment, except in very special situations, such as walking in nature, or secluded from the world. Sure, that’s very beautiful, and yet if you can’t hold your spiritual alignment in the whirl of business, you end up exhausted and burnt-out. Very successful and wealthy people fall prey to the pain that comes from too much know-how and too much manufactured clarity without spiritual alignment.

When all three of these come together, you just take action. In fact, it’s hard to hold you back. Once my clients know what to do, are clear where they are going, and feel aligned and nourished, tasks that are normally overwhelming like cleaning your office, marketing yourself, creating financial systems, just get done. You’re left surprised at how it took you so long to get there, when you got through them so quickly.

You can make a big difference in the world, and watch the money come in to support it. If you’ve been in business for any time at all, you know you need to make a profit if you want to keep helping people. It takes a lot more than just being good at what you do- you have to know how to run a business, and how to keep your heart and generosity at the same time. The Heart of Business™ helps to make it all possible.

Hi Mark,

I can’t begin to thank-you enough for your support through my dark night of the soul. My business has been so much more fun and at least 3 times more profitable by putting love first. … I would like to continue working with you because your work is so valuable to me. I love the direction you are taking in your work.

Blessings and continued abundance to you,
Terri Cotts, client

Sounds great, but will it work for you? This kind of intense, individual attention is not for everyone, or every business. In fact, for some businesses, it’s definitely NOT the answer.

Clients who are successful working with me tend to have these four things in common:

1. You are past the start-up phase of your business.
   Successful clients are generally ‘over the hump.’ Meaning you’ve been in business for at least a couple of years, are familiar with the terrain of your industry, and have confidence in what you do.
2. You are beyond bare survival level.
   Because much of the work we would do would be looking at higher level strategy, and long-term business growth, you need to be able to focus on the future. When someone is in survival, it’s impossible, and inappropriate, to focus on long-term business building. We can get results quickly, and we can pay attention to urgent needs, but you need to be above hand-to-mouth.

   (Note: If you are still in the start-up phase or in survival, you probably need certain foundational pieces put in place, and you will learn and apply them much more quickly in a group situation. Check out the Opening the Moneyflow course or working with one of our practitioners instead.)

3. You have a spiritual commitment in your life.
   Making a quantum leap requires transformation, and transformation requires surrender- which is ultimately a spiritual process, no matter how many practical steps are involved in it. Successful clients are comfortable and engaged with spiritual practice on some level- and willing to engage more with it.
4. You have a tiger by the tail.
   You have an inkling, or more than an inkling, that your business has hold of something special- something that can shake up some part of the world, make a lasting impact, has the potential to be pretty darn big.

If you find that your business has these four elements to it, I can help you skyrocket forward. I can say this because, after delivering more than 2000 individual sessions, and teaching dozens and dozens of classes, I’ve seen what works, and what doesn’t.

Let me now introduce to you…

The Organic Business Development Program

For you to get the results you want takes more than just an individual session here or there. After working with hundreds of clients, I’m wanting to save you the trouble of having to piece it all together.

12 Individual Sessions.

I’ve noticed that between three and four months of consistent work, there is a tremendous and permanent shift from problem-solving to creative development. For this reason we will do 12 sessions over six months- generally two sessions a month. At that point we re-evaluate. Many clients continue, some feel complete.

What do we handle in a session? There is always a combination of spiritual alignment, finding clarity of direction, and integrating know-how and expertise. Typical topics for sessions include:

• Authentic, effective marketing;
• Clarifying business purpose/mission, so you feel solid;
• Clearing emotional/spiritual blocks to abundance and success;
• Creating the content for a website that actually brings in business;
• Plugging passion/creativity drains;
• Designing your business model for maximum profit;
• Creating a productive schedule that works for your business and your life;
• Handling challenging relationships in business and life;
• Diagnosing and transforming your sales process;
• Learning to deeply trust your own intuition and decision-making process;
• Helping your business stand on its own;
• Breaking workaholic patterns, so you can enjoy your life, and still run your business;
• Designing business systems that can significantly cut your daily work load;
• Understanding and implementing successful internet strategies;
• Learning to balance your natural generosity with your need to make a profit;
• Bringing out the authentic jewel of who you are in all aspects of your business;
• Finding a solution to overwhelm;
• Strategic and creative planning for the future;
• Learning effective prioritizing strategies;
• Helping your business fly!

And on, and on… if it has to do with business, we can either handle it in the session, or find you a comfortable, doable strategy to get it handled.

Every session ends with a clear assignment so you know what your next steps are.

Email Support.

Often questions come up between sessions. Or, you have just finished a draft of your latest sales brochure. You think you’ve finally hit the right tone for your web copy. Perhaps you’ve had a disturbing interaction with an employee, client, colleague, or superior.

I am available to my clients by email to answer questions and give feedback between sessions.

Session Recordings.

Thanks to modern technology, I can record each of our sessions, upload an mp3, and send it off to you. More than just a coaching session, you are getting a custom business course that you can listen to whenever you want.

Hi Mark,

I need to say, Mark, I wouldn’t be where I am today had it not been for your clever and insightful coaching from your heart. I honestly feel you saved me a minumum of two years of suffering, self-pity and being frozen from drastic life changes I’m experiencing this year.

For the first time in my life I’m savoring the sweetness that comes from a relationship with the Divine. Because of you, I’ve found a new way to live, a life being grounded in love. The healing I’ve experienced through your coaching has made space for my business to thrive and focus it’s purpose to serve the greater good.

I will always refer you to anyone I come across interested in coaching for themselves or business.

Brenda Monaghan, client

Needless to say, this is a serious commitment to your business. By stepping into this container for growth, you are, in essence, saying that you want to be in a very different place with your business, you want you business to produce tens, or hundreds, of thousands of dollars more than it is, and that you want to be of real service in helping the world be a better place through your work.

The Cost

The cost for this program is $5370 for the six months. You can either pay in one payment, or you can pay $895/month. We accept Visa/MC/Amex/PayPal. This assumes that I will be working one-on-one with one person: the business owner or primary decision-maker. For partnerships or organizations where more than one person needs support, let’s talk and find out what structure is needed.

I know this isn’t inexpensive, because it represents a significant investment in your business future.

This is not meant for folks who want to make minimal improvements, or aren’t sure what help they need. This is meant to be an investment that will, pay for itself many times over the years to come.

An Alternative- A Business Assessment

I also will do one-off business assessments. You send me all the info about your business that you can, I review it, then we spend an hour on the phone doing an overall assessment of your business model and strategy, including spiritual/energetic components. At the end you’ll have recommendations on how to move forward.

The cost is $500 for this session.

If you want to feel like you are truly serving your life purpose, and have your business supporting you and your family in abundance and generosity, then I want to support you in getting there.

The best way to start is to give me an overview of your business. Fill out the form below, and we’ll set up a time to talk on the phone.

Blessings,
Mark

And I’m feeling so damned thirsty.”
