There really ought to be another word for writing copy, because copy writing is not at all like creative writing. Which is not to say it isn’t creative. It just has a different purpose entirely. The purpose of creative writing is to express the author’s vision and perspective. The purpose of copy writing is to [...]
Praise for the Presenters
Kudos for Bill Baren
When I interviewed Bill for my audience of business coaches, I knew that he would go above and beyond to provide them with practical, how-to tools and strategies they could use right away.
I would recommend Bill in a heartbeat as a go-to-guy for anyone who wants to learn how to sell their services in a way that is connected, authentic and inspiring.
~Gary Henson, BusinessCoach.com
I hired Bill to keep me on track with my national expansion efforts and received immediate results when I started with him. I sold one of my offices within 30 days, and two others shortly thereafter.
Bill is helping me achieve goals that I never thought I would ever be able to do. He is just fabulous and worth every cent and more!
~Cindy Elwell, Divorce with Dignity Network, www.dwdignity.com
I was so excited after the training call tonight that I thought I might burst! But in a good way... :)
I am soooooo grateful for how you integrate such an amazing amount of info that I have always found so confusing that I didn't know where to start!
~Christine Weddle, Light Spirit Coach
Kudos for Lissa Boles
Lissa Boles is one of the more profound transformational healers I've had the opportunity to work with. Her insights and natural intuitive ability blew me away in the Map to the Max process -- in fact they were dead on. I realized things about myself in one hour that would have taken years to figure out on my own.
~Suzanne Falter-Barns, getknownnow.com
Thanks so much Lissa! What a wonderful experience! Things are moving along so smoothly now. Love the new awarenesses. Boy, do they ever change the picture I see everyday,
making priorities clear, choices more obvious, motivation high, actions more natural and life just plain more fun.
~Yvette Murray, Partner, VirtualSuccessTeleSummit.com
Lissa is an incredibly wise and über grounded woman who has an uncanny ability to see and show you what's really at work in your life - in the most fun & profound ways (i.e. helping you manifest your soul's and heart's desire).

Kudos for Michael Neill's Latest Book
Reading Supercoach is like having a reliable best friend on hand, passing on solid advice each time you read. How many 'nuggets' does it take to make a gold mine? The answer in terms of wisdom is contained herein.
~Andy Fowler, Emmy Award–winning visual-effects producer of "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers"
Michael has completely outdone even himself with this book. This is simply one of the best self-help books I've ever read, and certain to be a classic for years to come. Michael's words go straight to the heart. By reading this book, you will feel lighter, more joyful, and more able to enjoy this life in this moment.
~Jennifer Louden, the author of The Life Organizer and The Woman's Comfort Book
Supercoach is turbocharged with simple, attainable lessons that cut to the heart of life's big issues. If you want to create a more meaningful experience of being alive, read this book!"
~Laura Berman Fortgang, life-coaching pioneer and author of The Little Book on Meaning
Kudos for Grace Judson
I'm the one who summarized networking with three words: "Dread, dread, and dread." I'd been to countless groups: chamber, greeters, membership networking, you name it. I couldn't understand how all these interesting people seemed as stiff and awkward as I felt.
Grace, in your own inimitable style, you've lifted the veil on my ineffective networking techniques. I went to an event just last week and actually fully enjoyed myself. I made real connections based on shared interests — instead of worrying about what I "should" do at a networking event.

Kudos for Mark Silver
"Working with you has helped me put my true self in an arena of business that I never felt comfortable in before. I am no longer stuck and my private practice and teaching is now flourishing."
Eva Marie Peler, California
"The material is about coming deeply from your heart, but the big added difference for me is that the background of wisdom and practices that Mark shares removes almost all the guess work. I ended up feeling that I KNEW what I was doing regarding my websites. This was quite a revelation."
Stuart Baker, consciouscooperation.com
"It was content-rich and spiritually nourishing. And, unlike with other workshops I've attended, the insights I gained are getting put into use immediately."
Jennifer Hofmann, inspiredhomeoffice.com
"I used to be in the seminar business, and I've seen hundreds of seminars given by the top people in the field. Your workshop is the best of all of them. Thank you!"
Ric Goodman, El Cajon, CA
Kudos for Molly Gordon
I am so excited! I just downloaded your book and began reading and I just had to stop to send this e-mail to you. I love the way you write and the way you think and, obviously, the way you live it all out! I am thrilled to be able to learn from you and to live these gems myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Lee Alden, Certified Facilitator, The Work of Byron Katie™
Before beginning Molly's Authentic Promotion course, I was quite skeptical. I didn't want to be disappointed and frankly, I thought that I might be. I haven't completed the course yet, but already it has been more helpful to me than I could have imagined. Molly's content is REAL. She has a way of getting to the heart of the matter.
My thinking about marketing myself began to change with the very first lesson, and I've become much more confident about the idea of selling. Many of my previous negative beliefs have turned into positive ones, and I've already begun taking steps to market myself in an authentic way. The most important change in my thinking is that I no longer think of trying to SELL something--I'm now thinking in terms of matching value that I can offer with a need that someone else has.
Molly's work has helped me form new neural pathways in my brain that will change my thinking going forward--and that's a good thing!
Carol Griffin, Fine Artist, ccgriffin.net
The Way of the Accidental Entrepreneur was like a breath of fresh air when you’re running out of oxygen. It has made me see my practice from a totally different light. Molly’s personal journey inspired me to believe in my own unique gifts. I realized the value of authenticity in my business--being true not only to my clients but, more importantly, truer to myself. It is ironic that I bought this program to discover how to figure out my business, but I ended up discovering how to figure out myself so I could drive my business better. Thank you Molly!
Gina Cajucom BSc PHR CHRP candidate, Insight Coaching and Consulting, careerinsights.ca
Molly is totally authentic as a coach, business owner, and person. You can just hear it in her. Her concepts are sometimes unusual and yet so helpful and hopeful--bringing things down to right size.
In The Way of the Accidental Entrepreneur, Molly identifies all the feelings and challenges in growing a business and being authentic. Reading or hearing her work is like coming home to myself and letting go of all the extra baggage. In doing one of her exercises, I was able to hone in on the two most important elements I bring to the work I do with clients. Perfect.
I trust Molly's work and integrity wholeheartedly and will continue to become a deeper member of her community and product offerings. She's an original and offers real and authentic lasting value in a landscape filled with hype. Molly walks her talk. And she consistently over delivers. Her work is a blessing.

Before I went online with my Spiritual Empowerment Coaching business for women, The Way of the Accidental Entrepreneur was the first product I purchased online. I was concerned that after being a student of Byron Katie and nonduality for some time, that I would not get much from the program. However, after reading the book and going through all the materials, my reservations dissolved. I received a call soon after from a woman who was to become my first client and was interested in purchasing an intro session. I had added coaching packages at the last minute to my product page as an afterthought. Even though we hadn't discussed a package, she purchased the most expensive package. All my previous beliefs about what people would spend, and how much money people had dissolved in one second. Now I no longer worry about what other people will spend and am more confident with my fees. I learned that from your program--stay out of other people's business and stay out of God's business. My business is beginning to flourish with just right clients thanks in part to your program. Thanks again, Molly, you rock.

What became clear for me [as a result of Authentic Wealth]was not so much my relationship with money, but my relationship to how I made my money. Long-standing resentments that I had no idea existed, had tainted my relationship with money and my life. I have found peace and a realistic view of money. Now I can go forward, using all the tools Molly and so many other people have taught me this year to have a successful practice.

I have the longest waiting list I've ever had for clients and I feel as if some spigot got opened.
Melissa Gayle West, www.FeralNun.com
Molly helped me get clear on what I wanted to do with one of my businesses. The very next day, I had created a new business relationship that will make more money for me and less work, while freeing up time for my new creative pursuits.

As an artist, there is always a struggle between the making of work and the selling/ marketing of product. Molly Gordon hangs it out there for all to see and follow by example.
She is a teacher of authenticity, knowing yourself, feeding your business and thriving as an entrepreneur. She is a North Star in my humble opinion.
Nicole Strasburg, NicoleStrasburg.com
When I was really negative about my abilities to move forward, Molly met me right there. She's been there herself, which is why she's so good at what she does.
I finally feel confident in knowing exactly what I need to do, which is something I've never felt before.
Becky DeGrossa,
newgenerationpractices.comWhat I really liked was the straightforward and counter-intuitive rules about business. I am SO TIRED of business-speak and your book didn't have any of that. I have finally decided that I can be an entrepreneur, and that I need to try this.
Catherine Adams, Norway
Molly has helped me to learn a way of making decisions and solving problems that has greatly contributed to success in both business and overall contentment in life.
I used to feel like I'd take two steps backward for every step forward. Now, every backward step launches me forward (and sometimes sideways!) and the results in my life and business are tangible and satisfying.
