Matthew’s Business Growth Bootcamp for Independent Trainers and Coaches

April 2021 – Europe – 2 Day Training in Small Business Growth with the Choice – Get Bigger or Go Home

You are a passionate trainer / coach / teacher / mentor and love nothing better than spending time with open minded delegates / coachees and channeling your wisdom and experience to bring out the very best in THEM whilst feeling in the zone and knowing that you are at your fully empowered best.

And what gets in the Way?

Small Business Nonsense – At your lowest point on Monday morning or Friday evening you feel invisible, ignored, exploited, forgotten, abused, abandoned or enslaved.

More about You

You love sharing your knowledge but don’t charge enough to always make it worthwhile.

You love working with people but get stressed about taking on more subcontract and associate work – your dream is to develop your own professional relationships, take control of your content and create the best work you can.

You love your subject but are reduced to old models, stereotypes and out of date concepts from a bygone era with more and more associate work.

You want to be in the flow but are trapped in a cycle of clichés, administration and low-income monotony.

Enough is Enough

Is it time to give it that BIG PUSH? Will you put in the directed effort, overcome your baggage and go for it to enable 2021 to be YOUR year for growth, self-expression, happiness and fulfillment?

Having worked with some of the biggest best companies in the world and started my own businesses, I have seen the best and experienced the worst as well.

Over the years I have found there to be 13 fundamental elements to a solid, sustainable and successful solo-preneurial, small business owner life.

13 Step Blue Print – The only complete model to establish and grow your business.

In brief the elements of the BLUE PRINT are…

• Identity – Defining your purpose and passion. When you find your “thing”, your brightness dials right up, words come more easily to your mind, you find yourself in flow more frequently, your knowledge transfer rate goes off the scale and that means you feel fantastic, you feel well, and your new found optimism and enthusiasm spreads like a sexually transmitted disease through a freshman campus. When you know the WHY everything else falls in to place and you realise that you have GOT IT.
• Brand – Unearthing your essence provides you the opportunity to add to your professional, social media and community reputation in a purposeful and more controlled fashion. You become the engineer of your promise, your style and your knowledge delivery in a way that is unique to you. Your teaching/coaching style adds to your brand and lights the way for more work with better people enabling you to achieve your dreams in the class room, the corporate board room and, via Skype or Gotomeeting, around the World.
• Ideal Customer – Working to hone your target AVATAR can be one of the wonders of the process of building a rock solid profitable small business. As you define your core delegate with purpose, your models, materials and mantras almost form themselves. They have congruence and consistency and this massively boosts your credibility, voice and message.
• Marketing and Channels – When you conquer your cultural modesty and introverted avoidance of social media and learn the art of cool self-promotion and to express your values and persona in the language of super-copy, the corporate world will sit up and take notice. People you only dreamed of from afar will contact you, make lucrative requests and treat you as a respected peer. This is a mind blowing moment for many start up s-heroes as their dream of being validated by respected big business comes true and happens on their own terms.
• Social Media – The personal revolution happens here. You are as powerful as a World Top 100 company because Social Media is one of the most humbling and equal of places when used correctly. Your ideas are as valid as the next persons and with the Super-Copy formula you can take to the world stage and interrupt the busiest and the best decision-makers out there. And, with repurposing, you do not have to have 1,000 original ideas a year (nobody does). When you repurpose your ideas in several forms and begin an intelligent dialogue with subject matter experts you will quickly project a shining presence that will be reflected back in invitations, engagement and engagements, billable hours and days and adventures that surpass the imagination of the younger you.
• Database – Yes it is time to revisit the humble database and to change your mind and beliefs about them FOREVER. We will move you from a, “No organised database, no problem.” Mindset to one of, “No Database no business!” This is the space for systems, delegation, outsourcing as well as organisation, sequenced activity and patience. The majority of your customers will not come just from your genius – they will come from your perseverance as your competition give up and go home just before your target decision maker becomes ready to sign on the dotted line and engage with YOU – the only one left standing in the race.
• Networking – When you graduate from Wall Flower to Warrior and understand the benefits and impact of articulating your authentic core purpose, practicing empathic enquiry, and giving before asking, you will experience the full magic of the HUSTLE and all the rewards it can bring to you. You will begin to look forward to a room full of strangers, because they will be at the right events containing the right people and they will want to listen to what you have to say.
• Product Creation – Your crossing of the technological Rubicon could not have been made any easier – simply point and shoot or press the button and record your voice. With a little tuition and practice you will be accumulating web based assets that broadcast your essence and brand around the world, even as you sleep.
• Selling – Forget all that you have heard and leant to fear about OLD sales. No one likes to be sold to any more. Nobody. New sales is about intelligence, listening and qualifying out or in prospects in a natural and civilised way. Preparation, research and marketing, when done well, deliver pre-qualified warm leads to your door. Your job is to take this probable customer on the last few steps of the journey. NEW sales is an ethically positive, experience for the customer and for you.
• Core delivery – Critically important at this point is the quality of your work. If your teaching matches the “brochure” this congruence will pay you back with repeat engagements and corporate contacts that move up from being acquaintances to becoming your friends and from transactional form signers to life-long raving fans, advocates and business sponsors These are the people who will make your life richer in every sense and you will develop these relationship by executing your craft at the very highest level. Again technology is there to help.
• Referrals – Smashing through the modesty and shyness mentioned earlier is an essential step in starting your ascension to the big small business league where you have choices, freedom, and lower levels of stress as your sales machine is outsourced to advocates. Your feedback forms become a delight to read thanks to your planned excellence and deeper dialogue with genuine business partners who bring you back in to their corporation again and again and are happy to do so.
• Growth – Here the 7 metrics that need to be grown are dealt with under the umbrella of marginal gains, continuous improvement and a spectrum strategy. When you work on Sales, Sequenced Marketing, Talent, Intellectual Property, Cash Flow and Reinvestment as well as Systems and Data Capture and Automation you will be well on the way to realizing your original dream of experiencing passion, purpose, serving the world, adding value, making a difference and enjoying manageable stress levels that may well be mistaken for excitement.
• Fully Expressed You – This whole process has been about creating a channel for you to practice your purpose lead content to attain a high level of comfort and competence. That means connecting deeply with your audience, their needs, wants and desires and providing something of great value that resonates with you as well. You will be excelling at your “right and chosen work” and be working with qualified-in people who respect you, enable you and empower you. Your transfer rates will be stratospheric as you rush to the learning venue ready to give your day’s work everything, knowing that nothing is wasted and you can leave that evening, confident that you have done the very best you could have done with the people who you most desire to teach and have left them with maximum value in a way that is aligned with your purpose, your persona and your passion.

The Frustrations you Feel NOW

*When you left academic or corporate life to be an independent you did not expect to simply swap one type of stress for another

*You spend too much time worrying about cash, cash-flow and managing your expenses – This is not what Solo-preneurship was meant to look like

*You sometimes have the feeling that you are caught in a trap of compromised values where you are trading a volume of underpaid work for a fleeting sense of security

*You desire to take control of the quality of your output, your work location, frequency and the reward for the work your perform

*You still feel you are swapping time for money and that you are giving too much time in preparation, unpaid travel and administration in exchange for too little money and peace

*You know you have more in the tank but are not currently able to demonstrate your full talents in the way that you desire

The Course  

Pre Work

We will supply you with a handbook and templates to complete using reflection and thought and to complete the necessary processes to achieve a solid grasp of your identity and purpose. You will also be encouraged to work on your Brand before the live event.

There are webinar recordings that you may access and a pre – training telephone intake session that will boost your confidence as well as making clear what you need to do before the course takes place.

The 2-Day Course

This will be a small and lively group 6 – 12 people working in learning pairs to achieve maximum personal and commercial development during the 2 days.

Identity, Purpose and Brand – We will polish your homework to bring out the shine. What is unique about you? Where can you dominate your niche? How can you articulate your wisdom to everyone’s best advantage?

Feeling Good – Practicing some inner resilience exercises to increase confidence, giving you a feeling of well being and enabling you to project a more powerful persona in the classroom, the networking space and the sales environment.

Marketing Presence – Enjoying what the group has already created and putting some structure to your efforts and explaining the power of the SEQUENCE in marketing.

Old Selling New Selling – Killing your fear of Old Selling and introducing the exciting and comfortable elements of New Selling to dispel worry, increase confidence and motivate the participants to become ever more ambitious in their outbound and off-line activity.

Network Hustle – This highly interactive and creative part of the course will stretch your imagination as you learn to increase the value of ANY opportunity that is presented to you.

Your Charge Out Rates – Probably the most exciting and life changing part of the course for many and the moment when your own perceived value of your work leaps up. We will move you up from modest to confidently demanding more in a safe and sustainable way. In the first course we ran a trainer moved up from charging €500 a day to charging €2,450 a day and GETTING a client to pay them that rate within 90 of completing the course.

Presentation – Whilst this element is covered in depth elsewhere, we have some fun exchanging high impact tricks and exercises that share best practice and take everyone’s presentation level up a notch. The key learning that accompanies this is that public speaking is the number one method for quickly acquiring high value customers.

Informational Products – The value of knowledge based “assets” is driven home and we all make a basic live product in the classroom to prove that it can be done and done easily, cheaply and quickly.

Strategy and Action Plan – The second day ends with a concrete outline of actions, commitments and direction with particular milestones along the way. You will be assigned a learning buddy / study buddy to keep you to your word, keep you on track moving toward your own success and to coach you through the troughs and the darker moments you may experience along the way.
