Order The Self Employment Telesummit Files

The birthday sale is over.

Thank you to everyone who helped me celebrate my birthday. May you enjoy the material you download and use it in good health.

If you missed the sale, you can  order the audios and notes for $156, which is still a heckuva deal. Click here to order

Thanks again!

The first annual Self Employment Telesummit is over. Done. But not kaput!

For one week, from September 24 through 5pm Pacific time October 1st, you can download recordings of all 14 presentations plus the notes for each session. And at $56 (in honor of my birthday, don’t you know?) the price is most definitely right.

If you don’t know what the telesummit was all about, you probably want to learn more before you order. You can do that by reading the rest of this page and exploring other pages on this Web site. And if you know about the telesummit but want to know what participants are saying before you order the recordings, you’ll find detailed testimonials below and in the left hand column.

But if you just want to order already, click here. You won’t be sorry.

My preconceptions/reservations were that I would experience about a 50-50 level of relevancy, thinking that SOME of the topics (branding, social media, PR ideas) would not be as useful to me.

I found something of value in EVERY presentation. I’m energized and inspired by the topics that spoke directly to my work and to the places where I know I get stuck, and I am intrigued and stimulated by the topics that were new (and formerly “dismissed”) areas for me and my business!

I would recommend the summit to newly self-employed people especially, but really to any of us who feel our business could be…”better” – however we may define that: bigger, more impactful, easier, refreshed, more aligned with the rest of their lives.

Why a Self Employment Telesummit?

Working for yourself is an amazing adventure. And, like most amazing adventures, there are pitfalls that range from mild annoyances to serious threats.

The thing is, it can be hard to know which pitfalls are annoyances and which are life-threatening. There can be so many things coming at you that it’s hard to know what to pay attention to first. Get a Web site? (How?) Start marketing yourself? (How?) Find customers? (Where?)

A how-to event for self employed people by self employed people

The Self Employment Telesummit brought you a dozen breakout sessions and 2 panel presentations from 12 successful creative professionals. They’re experts in their field, and they are the kind of people you’d like to hang out with on a Saturday afternoon.

And every one of them has a passion for helping other creative professionals succeed.

There’s Pam Slim, author of Escape from Cubicle Nation, who left corporate America to help people make the leap from cubicle to self employment.

Mark Silver, a “business tenderizer,” marketing whiz (and I mean that in a nice way), and a self-described Sufi spiritual nut, who happens to teach the best Web site basics course I’ve ever seen.

Sean D’Souza, who is brilliant at bringing order out of chaos. (He’ll be teaching us how to plan for the things you can’t know in advance.)

And Michael Neill, who’s been called America’s #1 Success Coach.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It was a great mix of amazing (and successful) business people who are showing me that it can be done. And who are, by their very out-in-the-worldness, supporting me. In some way, I feel like your team all “has my back.” That’s pretty amazing.

Here’s the deal.

Self employment is not rocket science. I’m willing to bet that it took a lot more intelligence, creativity, courage, and stamina to get good at what you do than it will take to earn a great living at it.

But you have to be able to separate the nonsense and hype from the essentials. And that’s what these folks and 8 more like them did in the 2009 Self Employment Telesummit.

When you download and listen to the telesummit presentations, you’ll learn what to pay attention to and what you can ignore. You’ll find out what you need to spend money on and what you can afford to do without. You’ll gain confidence and clarity so that you can make crucial decisions quickly and effectively.

But enough from me. Here’s what your peers are saying about the 2009 Self Employment Telesummit.

There’s a difference between being self-employed and owning a small business.

I’m not saying that you can’t go from being a one-man or one-woman show to owning a business. It’s just that most creative professionals don’t start there. We start out wanting to do good work for good pay and have a reasonably peaceful and flexible lifestyle. (What good is paying the mortgage if you don’t get to see your kids or have friends over for dinner?)

But most business advice is written by and for Big Business. Even so-called small business advice is directed at companies with millions in annual revenue and up to 500 employees!

Even scaled down, these big and small business practices don’t give us clear, workable, effective ways to get work, get paid, and have a life. But 2009 The Self Employment Telesummit did.

I was concerned that I would be overwhelmed with the number of presenters and topics and that it also might even be too much of a great thing. I was amazed at the fluidity of the presentations both in terms of content and energy.

The information was exactly the right amount delivered in a way that was super digestible and, for me, just the right amount of pushing the limits of my ability to take it in that made it very dynamic. Having it available to listen to later over and over will be invaluable.

I have already begun in the last 24 hours to put Jennifer’s method of compassionate organization that uses neural pathways already present. It was so funny to hear her vocalize this because it was what my mind and body wanted to do, but the perfectionist side said, no, that won’t work, you have to have color coded this and that and would of course throw my hands in the air and move to another room to work from. Yea!

Thank you Molly for all you have given through Goldilocks, Authentic Promotion, the forums and now this telesummit. This unique opportunity meets the measures that Michael spoke of. I have to add once again, that I had already derived the full value of the price from the free previews, so the value of the telesummit is so great it’s hard to measure.

It’s all connected.

And that is both bad news and good news.

It’s bad news because it can be hard to find a place to start. Let’s take online marketing, for example. These days you have to have a Web site. But you can’t have a Web site until you get a domain name. You shouldn’t get a domain name (what is one anyway?) without understanding search engine optimization. (???) Suddenly you’re looking at spending hundreds of dollars to teach yourself about marketing online or thousands, even tens of thousands, to get someone else to do it.

And even then you can’t be sure they’ll do it right.

Not to mention the fact that you haven’t had a moment to think about business cards, brochures, and–gulp–getting a paying client.

And it’s good news.

Because everything is connected, the time, energy, and money you put into one part of your business can move you forward in other parts. You just have to know which parts to pay attention to first and how to get the most bang for your buck.

Because, while working for yourself isn’t just about the money, without money you won’t be working for yourself for long.

Is this for you?

I know how many grow-your-business programs are out there. I’ve bought a lot of them. And most of them gather dust on my shelves or just take up space on my hard drive. How do you know that this program is going to be one that makes a real difference?

For one thing, the individual classes in The Self Employment Telesummit were designed for self-employed creative and healing professionals. The language, values, and tools that will be presented are different from what you see in so many internet marketing offers. I’m not saying the get-rich-quick guys are wrong, it’s just that we’re up to something else.

Another way The Self Employment Telesummit is different is that each of the expert presenters has a thriving business supporting creative and healing professionals to grow thriving businesses. That means you have a compassionate, research-rich support team who can step up as your goals and needs change. We’re in this for the long haul.

Here’s what you get for $56, but only until 5pm PDT October 1st.

My one fear

It makes me crazy to see talented, skilled people struggle because they don’t know how to make self employment work. For me, the worst part is seeing how self doubt and anxiety erode the creative spirit. More than anything else I want to set that spirit free so that more and more creative and healing professionals step out and step up to give their gifts to the world.

You see, for me it’s not just business; it’s a mission. And my biggest fear is that I will overlook the one thing you need to see or hear in order to get what you need to succeed. I know I have to let go of that, so here’s my request. Download the telesummit program. Listen to just one presentation each week. Take one action from that presentation. And if in 12 weeks your business isn’t stronger, ask me for a refund.mg-newsletter

It’s almost goofy to say that because there’s just no way you won’t get way more than your money’s worth when you order The Self Employment Telesummit downloads. So please, if you are serious about reducing overwhelm and increasing your well being, click here to order.

But don’t delay. Every day that you make this journey alone is a day you are leaking energy and inspiration that the world needs from you. Time truly is of the essence. mollysig

I’ve never worked with you before and didn’t know some of the presenters. But others I did know and was intrigued by the community aspect of the telesummit – bringing together not only the participants but the “village” of presenters. I’m such a community-building person myself, it intrigued me enough to try it.

[It was] FABULOUS! This is definitely what I’ve needed – a real, solid village, knowing I’m not in it alone. One thing that has stopped me in bringing forth my business is sitting in my chair behind my computer all alone. Now I feel connected and supported and engaged in the group dynamic that is so much a part of who I am.

Also I love that you are talking about self-employment rather than business-owner or small business. Somehow the language works better for me. For these reasons I would highly recommend this to anyone who is self-employed or thinking of the possibility of it.

Probably the highlight for me in this moment was Sean’s ideas about planning for chaos and spinning plates. These ideas have helped me reframe and think in new ways about how I plan my days and how much I heap on my plate at once. I would guess that “time management” type issues are a pretty global thing for self-employed people and Sean’s approach really works for me.

What will change for me? I’ve had a real tendency to get an “inspired idea” and then sit on it until is disappears. (I’m sure this has never happened to anyone else ;) ) Now I’m getting up and doing it!

Thank you Molly for bringing this together! This is so fun and exciting. I’m siting in my wonderful new office space, looking out at the blue sky, green trees, mountains on the horizon, and communing with the energy of this group as I finish writing this. I’m not alone! and for that I’m grateful. Signing off with peace and blessings to all,

The telesummit, it’s faculty members and the participants, made me realise that the vision I have for my business is possible: It is possible to build a business that authentically reflects me and my passions whilst being a successful one.

I would (and already have) recommended the telesummit to one of my friends who is an established self-employed consultant, currently studying to become a coach and who would like to put more of ‘herself’ in her business while having a better work-life balance as well.

I also recommended it to a friend who just had to quit her business where she helped expats with both the practical and emotional implications a relocation has on people, because she had to move back to her home country that doesn’t feel like home anymore. She feels lost and is looking for a new direction.

I think that the fact that both the faculty members as well as the telesummit participants have built or are building businesses true to themselves AND have accurate knowledge, could help them on the way.

I am already using what I’ve learned! I am currently using Isabel’s class to write a letter to reach out to prospective pro bono clients I need to work with as part of my studies… The beauty of this is that this letter already contains a lot about me and my vision and what I would like for my clients, so will definitely be useful as a draft for further marketing!
