Authentic Promotion Business Encounter

Is your business doing "okay," but you feel like something is missing?

Are you bored, antsy, or just running out of steam?

Imagine what it would be like to fall in love with your business.

Imagine giving and receiving so freely that you can taste the gratitude.

It can happen. You can fall in and out of love with your business, and back in love again. It's happened to me.

I've been through more inner and outer shifts in my business than I can count, and I've come out the other side every time wiser, happier, and more prosperous than ever. One of the things I love most in the world is guiding others through the fog bank of business transition. If you'll pardon my lack of modesty, I'm damn good at it.

This fall I'm leading six business owners in the Authentic Promotion Business Encounter, an action group for reasonably successful professionals who are dissatisfied with the status quo but haven't found the "oomph" or inspiration to ramp things up. (If you've ever had the thought, "I know I could do this, I just don't want to," this is for you.)

The Business Encounter is right for you if you are hungry for:

  • A realistic model for an authentic and prosperous business.
  • An end to arguing with yourself about your business.
  • The energy and enthusiasm that come from knowing you are in the right place doing the right stuff.
  • An income that supports you to do your best work and live your best life.

Think of it as a second honeymoon that will lay the groundwork for years of happiness.

How Does It Work?

We'll begin by tuning in to who you are, really, and who you perfect customers are. How will you know? Your perfect customers are the people you cherish working with (and you cherish yourself when you do). Then we'll focus on what it takes to do business from the place of cherishment. You will fall in love with your business and your clients. You'll discover easier, more authentic, and more energizing ways to show up and serve. The result is a flourishing business model that is simple, powerful, and a lot of fun.

The next Authentic Promotion Business Encounter begins September 12 and meets by phone from 2:00 – 3:30 pm eastern time (11:00 – 12:30 pacific time) on twelve consecutive Tuesdays through November 28. Limited to six participants, the Intensive also includes email coaching via a private listserv, two private coaching sessions, MP3 recordings of teleconferences and coaching sessions, and a copy of the Authentic Promotion. Grow Your Business Feed Your Soul marketing program (workbook, outlines, textbook, and 15 MP3 recordings).

As soon as you register, I will email you a link to download your free copy of the Authentic Promotion. Grow Your Business Feed Your Soul marketing program and a brief questionnaire that will give you food for thought through the rest of the summer (or winter, if you're in the southern hemisphere). Your pre-work will be to kick back and invite the deep truth at the heart of your work to emerge.

If you have questions about the Authentic Promotion Business Intensive, please give me a call at 360-697-7022 or drop me an email at mgordonATshaboominc.com. This is a powerful group, and it's not for everyone. If you resonate with the ideas and feel you're not quite ready for this level of commitment, please take advantage of the reduced prices on my Authentic Promotion Marketing Program.

Authentic Promotion retreats and teleclasses approach marketing as a spiritual as well as economic challenge. The "AP" approach draws from diverse fields, wisdom traditions, and experiential learning methods. Among them are:

  • Somatic Intelligence

  • Spiral Dynamics
  • The ontology of language
  • Integral Theory
  • Developmental psychology
  • Process Work
  • Transpersonal psychology
  • Professional coaching

  • Focusing
  • Dream work
  • Journaling
  • Visualization
  • Spiritual practice
  • Action learning
Molly is able to create clarity, connecting my experience with marketing concepts so that I can see how they apply to real people like me. I am more aware of my strengths and weaknesses, more confident about how I want to show up, and more comfortable about my marketing choices. Barry North, Relationship Coach, Seattle

Authentic Promotion retreats and teleclasses are based on the work of people you probably don't associate with business or marketing. For example:

  • Marshall Rosenberg
  • Ken Wilber
  • Don Beck
  • George Leonard
  • Gerald May
  • Rumi (!)
  • Charlie Badenhop
  • Heidegger (!)
  • Julia Cameron
  • Arnie and Amy Mindell
  • Byron Katie
  • Roger Walsh
  • And dozens more.

Sample Offerings

Subscribe to the Authentic Promotion ezine to keep abreast of class schedules, or email to be advised when a particular class is being offered.

Believe! Use Your Beliefs to Build Your Business
Are limiting beliefs getting in the way of marketing your business? Do affirmations and positive thinking leave you cold? Find out why conventional techniques for shifting your beliefs don't work (or don’t last). Use an integrally informed tool for inquiring into your belief system and designing practices to generate an authentic and lasting shift so that you get the results you want.

Thriving in the Sweet Spot (Name Your Niche Now!)
Learn how to name a niche that is narrow enough to make you stand out in the crowd, yet generous enough for you to grow. That's the kind of niche that lends itself to developing multiple streams of income, authentic engagement with your clients, and vastly simpler ways to market yourself.

*What's a Teleclass?
A teleclass is a class that takes place over the phone. You can hear a sample class in which I teach the principles of niche and offer here. Find the answers to your questions about participating in telephone based groups and learning communities here.
