This is a long page. There’s a reason for it: it’s a year-long program, and so it describes the details of it. It also costs money, so I want you to know what you’re getting.

For those who want things fast, here’s the short story version in a few paragraphs, and then you can dig into the details if it’s helpful.

(Note: throughout this page we have these little “click here to read” links. They won’t open a new page, or take you anywhere else. When you click them, more text appears. When you click them again, the text disappears. It’s our way of trying to both make information accessible, and yet not so loooonnnggg.)

Do you run a small business and feel tired of carrying it forward entirely on your own?

By December, 2010, you can have structures and strategies in place that will enable your business to carry much more of the burden, allowing you to relax and enjoy the ride more.

There comes a time in every business when you realize you’re on a treadmill. No matter how fast you run, or how hard you work, you never get to rest. No matter how good the month was, the next month starts again at zero.

You know you need systems and structures and strategies and other ‘S’ words. BUT…

But you’d rather stay on your treadmill than turn your business into some heartless automaton that sucks the spirit, life force and love (yes, the Love) out of what you do.

How do you turn on the flow, without turning off your heart?

The ‘S’ words of “systems” and “strategies” are what turned me off of business in the first place. Heartless zombies that chewed people up and spat out money is all I could see.

Money is a nice thing to have, but not at that cost.

However, there comes a time when you realize that if your business is going to have the impact it could have, to reach the people who really need your help, you need to conquer this seeming paradox: keeping the unique heart of what you do, while implementing systems.

You can do it. You need three things:

1. Deep Knowledge. Not just business knowledge, although you definitely need that. But also an understanding of the deeper spiritual teachings that allow some systems to flourish without hurting anyone.
2. Heart. There is a surprising tenderness and vulnerability that comes up when you are ready to have your business really step out. Your heart needs nourishment, care, and love in that process, or you just unconsciously dig your heels in and simple things take forever to complete.
3. Support. The boot-strap myth is just that: a myth. You need a trusted feedback loop, as well as guidance and support. No matter what the gurus tell you, business is not a paint-by-number set, and you’ll need to course-correct often. Without guidance, you end up astray.

Are you tired of going it alone? If you’re spiritually-minded, making a difference, and need your business to be full of integrity and full of heart, then we’re on the same page.

Introducing Opening the Moneyflow:

A full year of practical and heart-centered support to build the foundations and structures your business needs to support you.

This series was specifically designed with you in mind. The structure, the guidance, the information, and the healing is all aimed at one thing: providing you the means to turn on the money flow, without selling your heart.

Are these results that you want?

• Crystal clarity so that you never again stumble in answering the question “What do you do?” Instead you’ll answer in a way that easily attracts your best prospective clients or customers to you.
• Sustainable marketing systems that walk people toward you, from prospect to paying customer to raving fan referrals, leaving behind forever the uncomfortable scramble for more business.
• The clarity to enroll the right people, whether it’s an individual for one of your offers, or connecting with a strategic alliance partner who can give you access to hundreds or thousands of new potential clients.
• Your heart and creativity in reaching people, making it enjoyable for you, and rich and meaningful for your prospective or paying clients.
• A winning website and other internet technologies. The internet is critical in opening the money flow. I will walk you through not only what makes an effective, profitable website, but also help you become comfortable with many of the easy-to-use technologies and internet tools that make marketing so simple.
• More customers and clients and more income. When your business is abundant, it’s easier to feel ease in your heart and be generous in your interactions. It’s my intention that you see great results before the course ends, and that you have the structures and support in place to continue producing and increasing those results over the months and years that follow.
• Systems and structures that make your business sustainable. You want a business that supports you. One that you can rest into.

“This December I’ve been incredibly busy, and will bill more than double what I’ve billed any previous December.

I believe this is because a change in attitude on my part, stemming from my work with you, has allowed my relationships with clients to be easier and more natural. Yay!”

Susan Pomeroy, Richmond, CA

Why Many Business Classes Simply Don’t Work

Your most critical task is to get super-crystal clear on your core marketing message. Once you get clear about this, everything else will fall into place, kind of like falling off a log. Unfortunately, this is also one of the hardest tasks to complete solo–and stopping part-way through means that your business can’t move into momentum, leaving it doomed to muddy vagueness.

Like me, you probably have friends (or maybe even you), who have finished business classes or books without anything ever happening. You learned bunches, but still the whole class, as fun as it was, felt like money and time down the drain. Every time I see this happen, I feel deeply sad. When not enough attention is given to helping you feel the certainty of your core message deep in your bones, you can’t stand behind it whole-heartedly, nor build effective systems around it.

I’ve found that the best way to get this bone-deep clarity takes more than a formula. It takes spiritual alignment, introspection, support from others, an understanding of the structures involved, and a real feeling of spaciousness.

So, that’s what you get. We’ve designed this series to help you walk all the way through to this clarity in the first five weeks. This way, we spend the remaining months implementing and fine-tuning, so you actually get more business coming in.

What we’ll cover so you can open the money flow:

• Getting clear on your core message and Customer-Focused Story. Many people stumble over the simple answer to “What do you do?” We’ll help you hone in on a grounded, one-sentence message for your business that really opens the door for your best prospects.
• Unveiling Your Jewel. The unique jewel in your heart is a source of nourishment and strength for you in business. And it is also the magnetic attractor that physically draws people towards you. Knowing your jewel will give you a source of internal strength and confidence, as well as clarity in finding your target market.
• Spiritual Alignment. The biggest and most magnetic attractor is a full and generous heart aligned in service. Your marketing structures support people finding your heart, but without spiritual alignment, it’s all a shell. We will go deeply into how to stay nourished spiritually, so you can replace fear and anxiety with inspiration and strength.
• Website content in one afternoon. Many people agonize over writing their website for weeks or months. We’ll show you how to take your Customer-Focused Story and, in one afternoon, create the rough draft of all the basic content you’ll need for your website, whether it’s a blog or a more traditional website.
• Creating a client-focused story. This story is what keeps the spotlight entirely on the person you are helping, which takes the pressure off you and puts the focus where it matters. Also, in combination with your Jewel, it makes your business magnetic, as it becomes easy and obvious why the right people should buy from you.

“As I talked with people, I used elements of my CFS (Customer-Focused Story), leading off with my ‘I help…’ The results were astounding!

“I’ve always stumbled as I’ve tried to explain what I do. As rough as my CFS is, people got it! And what’s even more amazing is they wanted to work with me! Not ’sorta’, but with genuine enthusiasm.”

Dale Gillilan, Washington
Opening the Moneyflow 2006 participant

• How to get potential clients to “Yes!,” without manipulation. Holding successful sales conversations isn’t just about the money purchase, it’s also about the countless heart-centered conversations you have in your business regularly, including building strategic partnerships. Learning enrollment from the inside out, from the heart through to the details, without manipulation, is what leads you to get paid.
• Sustainable marketing structures and methods. Once you have access to your jewel, and your message is clear, you discover sustainable, effective marketing strategies that fit you, and begin to put them into action.
• Listening to your heart and your business. If you are self-employed, you probably tend to ignore your two best partners: your heart and your business! If you know how to listen to these two, they will tell you what you need to know. Then your success unfolds organically, without having to push the river.
• Getting it done. This is not a theory class. In addition to loads of information, you will receive the heart-centered support that Heart of Business is known for, support that will help you actually get the right things done in an inspired way, and help you clear and heal any emotional or spiritual issues that are keeping you from creating and implementing great marketing.

What’s So Different About This Class?

If you’ve ever read a book or taken a workshop on business and haven’t followed through despite your best intentions, then you already know what’s wrong.

Everyone knows what steps you should take, but how about when you are overwhelmed, stuck, or resistant. There are a 1001 books out there telling you what to do, but few help you ease through resistance without running roughshod over your heart and ethics.

That’s where the strength of this class kicks in. Far more than methods, even far beyond simple support and accountability, the transformational aspect appears when you realize that you are being healed of misconceptions, beliefs and patterns that have blocked you from being fully successful. The forward movement in your marketing and business happens when your heart finally feels full, and you have fuel to run on.

You are already successful in many ways and have the seeds for even more. In most cases, you just need some internal fine-tuning, and some concrete skills and knowledge to help those seeds bloom.

I have spent years accumulating information on marketing and business from the best people in the field. This course is going to take the best nuggets and weave them together to help you create business structures that are both very effective and truly healing.

This course is absolutely unique, not because any particular thing in the course is unique. But the combination of spiritual connection, super-practical content, in-depth feedback, and implementation support is unique. It means you’ll be supported to be a disciplined mystic in business–to make it work, and to stay connected in your heart while you do. The Heart of Business means topflight marketing information that is informed by more than 1500 years of Sufi spiritual tradition.

Three More Nice People

Sometimes it just helps to hear that other people liked this stuff. Click to read what Karen, Eva, and Kathy had to say.

Okay, so here is what you get with this program:

Opening the Moneyflow course consists of five Core Classes, plus a small handful of mini-classes. A total of 27-29 90-minute to 2-hour teleconference calls in twelve months, plus one live in-person event, which can be taken as a home study, if necessary.

All classes will meet Tuesdays at 1pm Pacific Time. To find out what time that is in your part of the world, click here. I realize that because of time zone differences, not everyone will be able to attend every single class live. That’s okay. The recordings will be available for each class within hours, and you will have plenty of Q&A and interactions on the online class forum.

In addition to the five core classes, there will be three themes running through the entire program.

Theme One: Spiritual foundation. Approximately every two months we’ll be holding a day-long virtual retreat (virtual means you don’t go anywhere, you participate from home), as well as weekly guided remembrances that will help you stay in your heart and connected to Source.

Theme Two: Reaching out. We want to see you taking consistent actions to network with new people, build strategic alliances, whatever is right for your heart and your business. You’ll be getting support throughout the year to make sure that doesn’t slack, with the intention that you build towards having a list of 500-1000 people interested in what you do.

Theme Three: Systems and structures. Technology and processes are at the heart of what makes a business sustainable. We will be teaching you not only what to do, but the systems that make it all sustainable and repeatable, so you don’t exhaust yourself.

Other Things That Will Keep You Sane

Bonus: Recordings of each class

Approx 50 hours of recordings.

Within hours of each class, you will have access to the live recording of each group session by mp3 download. This way you never have to miss, and you can listen in as many times as you want.

Did I answer a question that wasn’t covered in the materials? You’ll have it. Did another participant give you the perfect marketing phrase, but no one wrote it down? You’ll have it.

Bonus: Partnered exercises between the group calls

Value: What would the other participants ordinarily charge you on an hourly basis for help? Some past participants have had hourly rates over $300 (and $300 x 15 = $4500). But we’ll be conservative and rate the whole thing at $1500.00

While group sessions and online feedback are really powerful, they aren’t enough. You need one-on-one time for compassionate, accountable support to actually get things done. We will partner you with other participants to get that one-on-one support.

Through the Heart of Business approach that I’ve been perfecting for years, every participant becomes a skilled coach-guide-support person helping you powerfully on both an emotional level and on a practical, applied level. You don’t get just a class, you get an entire supportive community.

Bonus: Guest experts

I don’t know it all, there’s no way that I could. And even if I did, maybe you need to hear it from someone else.

Throughout the year I’ll be nabbing guest experts to contribute content, interviews and such. Not to introduce more and more content, but to reinforce and support the content you will be learning.

Bonus: A private online discussion forum

As you implement the class, you will be wanting a lot of feedback and editing. Rather than filling your inbox with a flood of emails from the group, we’ll use a powerful online discussion forum that keeps posts grouped by subject, provides easy-access archives, and holds lots of opportunity for detailed feedback and editing.

Bonus: In-depth feedback and editing from the Heart of Business team on your marketing.
Value: $thousands

A client who was a best-selling author in her field told me, “I love your coaching–it’s meant everything. But even more than that has been your content editing. Your editing has enabled me to get published in trade magazines all over my country.”

Just by being in this course, you’ll get me, Mark, as well as Judy and Kate’s in-depth feedback on your writing.

Bonus: Office Hours.

In addition to the full day of Moneyflow-participants-only after the Sacred Moment seminar, you’ll also get individual access to me for support.

Throughout the year, I will schedule a handful of “office hour” days where you can schedule a 20-minute appointment to work through any trouble spots.

Plus there’s Judy Murdoch. Judy is an entrepreneur trained through Heart of Business and now works with us as an associate providing one-on-one sessions for our clients through our Organic Business Development Program. Read more about Judy here.

So, you get support from both of us.

Bonus: How to Lead a Teleclass

No matter what business you are in, teleclasses can be an exceptional way to connect with customers, as well as a great source of revenue. But you can’t see the participants! Spiritual connection, plus some good ol’ fashioned teaching tricks, will help you lead teleclasses with confidence and effectiveness.

Bonus: Promotional Email Examples

Because strategy and email reminders are such a key to having your webpage be successful, your promotional email quality is key. You’ll have examples of successful promotional emails to study, deconstruct, and crib from for your own emails.

Bonus: List Segmentation Tutorial

How do you promote more than one thing at a time, without overwhelming your list? List segmentation is the answer. This easy-to-follow tutorial shows you how to segment your email lists, so you aren’t overwhelming your prospective customers, and also so you aren’t trying to sell them something they’ve already bought.

The Premium Bonus

Why a premium bonus? You get this bonus with the premium version of the class, it is intended to help solidify, strengthen, and support the implementation of everything you’ll be learning and integrating over year.
