Bankers require them. Business educators advocate them. Consultants make a living writing them. And venture capitalists won't give you the time of day without one... but most entrepreneurs, executives, managers or small business owners can't and won't write them... it's just been too difficult-- until now.

Believe it or not, getting clients and marketing are not necessarily the same thing. You can market till the cows come home and not get any clients. This has been a rude awakening for many private practice professionals resulting in feelings of hopelessness and despair at not being able to do the work they are called to do with the people they are called to serve. "Marketing" is communicating what you do. The primary result from effective marketing is to create prospects. Then, you must convert your prospects to clients, which involves a distinct and critical set of skills and strategies not taught in any graduate school! THIS IS NOT A MARKETING SEMINAR! You will learn specific strategies for getting clients that will maximize your results from your marketing efforts and fill your practice. You will learn:

LoveBy David Steele This month our Director of Singles Programs, Lynne Michelson asked our coaches:
It occurs to me that this problem is true for the breakup of committed relationships as well. Getting a divorce does not erase your love for, or your attachment to, your ex. This has certainly been true for me and many people in my life I care about. It is tortuous to feel strongly about someone, really want it to work, but choose to let the relationship go because you must. If it could work, you would certainly find a way! In my experience and opinion, what keeps relationships together, and makes breaking up hard to do, is more than love; it is attachment. WHAT IS ATTACHMENT? Attachment can mean many things, ranging from emotional affection to physical affixation. Psychologists have whole theories around attachment and identify clinical disorders caused by it. For our purposes, we can define attachment simply as a “strong emotional bond.” We humans get attached. To objects, like cars, houses, money, books, clothes, etc. We get attached to routines (e.g. washing your hands), beliefs (e.g. killing is wrong), sensations and experiences (e.g. orgasm), activities (e.g. work), and people. In the extreme, our attachment can be an addiction. HOW ARE LOVE AND ATTACHMENT DIFFERENT? Love and attachment seem pretty interconnected, but distinctly different. Without going into highly debatable explanations and theories, it seems to me that love is a positive feeling toward something or somebody, and attachment is an emotional need for something or somebody. The major difference seems to be that love is other-directed, and attachment is self-centered. NEEDS VS. NEEDINESS If attachment is a self-centered need for something or someone, then it makes sense to me that if we have difficulty letting go of a relationship that doesn't work, it is less about love and more about our own grief, fears, loneliness, and emotional needs/deficits. For more about the role of needs in a relationship, see the article “Needs vs. Neediness” WHAT TO DO ABOUT ATTACHMENT?
