Jack of all trades - master of what?
	I was teaching my live Effective Newsletter workshop yesterday, and a participant brought up a really interesting point.

She was grateful for their help because she wouldn’t have known even [...] ...»

Balance: Healer and Business Owner - Marketing
	I was recently at a networking event. It was awesome "“ lots of healers and alternative therapists all gathered together, making connections, sharing, relating"¦ There was good food, refreshments, and wonderful music.

Be willing to say YES!

Do you have newsletter fears?
	Susan does - as she shared with me in a recent e-mail. Susan said that her three biggest fears regarding developing a newsletter are: She won’t have enough to say. She won’t keep it up regularly.

The best thing I’ve read about niches and why you need one.
	My friend Gina just gave the best explanation I have ever read about why we need a niche. I absolutely love what she says in her recent personal blog post. Gina starts out by talking about this idea that we, as healers, all relate to. Can’t we help absolutely anyone with our service? And isn’t the [...] ...»

So Many Ideas… so little time!
	I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Marcia Francois last week. Marcia and I determined that the world is definitely coming closer together. I live in PA, and Marcia is half-way ’round the world in South Africa - amazing that this internet thing brought us together and is allowing us to share such great information! As [...] ...»

Do you really need a newsletter?
	The short answer is - Yes. But, isn't a newsletter just one more thing to add to the to-do list? I've had more than one client tell me that they just don't have time to deal with a newsletter. Not to mention the fact that they hate writing and don't think they're good at it.Â When [...] ...»

All that hard work…
