"How You Too Can 'Cash In' on the Biggest Business Trend in Decades - from the Comfort of Your Own Home!"

It’s not just by luck that Marcia Bench has generated over $1 million in her businesses over the past 3 years (and more in the past 20!)...and it is about more than just marketing savvy...

She'll be baring ALL her secrets, step by step, at her *FIRST EVER*
Coaching Purposeful Entrepreneurs to Success Teleseries, February 19 through April 16, 2009 - but you'll need to move fast before one of your competitors gets ahold of this information first!

From: Marcia Bench

Dear entrepreneurial friend,

It is no secret that the world of business is shifting dramatically. All you have to do is read the morning headlines to see the latest bank that has gone under, the increasing foreclosure rates, the most recent layoffs, and other signs of a system that is not working.

This is more than simply an economic downturn - it is the end of an old system that no longer functions.

What is taking its place? Several years ago, business guru Tom Peters predicted that "The corporation as we know it will not survive the next 25 years." And it isn't!

You can become part of the new era of business - one that is based on entrepreneurship - but not business ownership as we have known it in the past. The emerging explosion of new businesses (of which you may be one!) start their companies to express their Life Purpose, not just to "make a living." This new breed of entrepreneurs incorporates spirituality, social responsibility, and a desire to express their creativity and help others express theirs. But they don't give up making money to do so!

Purpose, Passion and Profits are just three elements of this new kind of business - and you can coach people already in business, or recently laid off and ready to start a business, to create their own brand of success by owning their own entrepreneurial enterprise.

Consider these facts:

• There are more than 50 million people who call themselves "Cultural Creatives," adhering to spiritual and environmental values in their life and business, and 25 million of these are managers or professionals
• "Sometime in the 1990's, personal spirituality hit the Tipping Point. Now in the 00 decade, we are translating spirituality into organizations," - Patricia Aburdene, Megatrends 2010: the Rise of Conscious Capitalism
• Over a 5-year period, spiritual and religious books outpaced sales in all other categories, surging to over $2 billion - Book Industry Study Group
• Large corporations such as Intel, Salesforce, Medtronic and others have long since embraced spiritual practices in their businesses - now it is entrepreneurs that are stepping up to a spiritual business approach.
• More than 80 percent of the Gross National Product of the U.S. is generated in "small businesses," many of whom are now incorporating a purposeful approach to address shifting consumer needs

Haven't you noticed how several recent movies, like The Secret, The Moses Code, What the Bleep Do We Know? and others have taken the world by storm, now that it is ripe for the spiritual perspective? It is because of this hunger for a spiritual slant on business that it is the perfect time to become a Purposeful Entrepreneur Coach yourself.

Let me share how I got started as a Purposeful Entrepreneur serving other like-minded business owners…

I began my quest for life purpose-based work when I was still a teenager, and continued looking for the meaning and fulfillment I knew was possible in a series of jobs and through 10 years of college and law school...but it still eluded me.

It was only when I started my first part-time business in 1986, after waking up in the middle of the night with an idea for a class I wanted to teach - writing the text myself - that I began to feel like my life was getting on purpose. Of course, I didn't yet have the full picture of the Purposeful Entrepreneur model yet - we were still 20 years from the shift in consciousness that is now occurring! But I could sense the seed of something big.

Just a few years later, I wrote my first book, When 9 to 5 Isn't Enough, published by Hay House, and conducted a 10-month national tour helping people connect with their purpose in their work. It was so eagerly received that I knew I had to continue! So I conducted more workshops and seminars, wrote more books, and worked individually with seminar participants who became my consulting clients. And many of them grappled with exactly the same issues I had: fulfillment, meaning and purpose at work! I developed a process for discovering your life purpose (which I still use today).

Fast forward to 2001, the beginning of the "dot bomb" era...I'm sure you remember, things were tough! But I was burning out fast as a career consultant and was just finishing up a full year of coach training to become a business coach. I had written a few books, done a lot of speaking, and worked with over 500 individual clients...but I found myself stuck in a dead-end job I hated, and was not sure what was next.

Then, when my husband and I were coming home from sharing a family Thanksgiving, I remember driving across the open desert at dusk. Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, it struck me: I could combine my years of experience in career development with my newly developed coaching skills by doing teleclasses and have a one-of-a-kind career coach training school.

Just 45 days later, that inspiration was launched as Career Coach Institute, the first of 5 purpose-driven coaching programs I developed. The first class was filled in less than a month, and over the past 8 years, I have earned in excess of $1.5 million using the same proven formula to train students in more than 35 countries how to coach in such areas as career coaching, retirement coaching, workforce development coaching, and more.

I'd like to share with you how by allowing my purpose to guide me, I have reached not only financial success, but internal fulfillment too - and you can too!!

Doing something new – like developing a new coaching niche - can be confusing, right?

Since I discovered coaching a decade ago, dozens of new niches and training programs have emerged. And it can be daunting to figure out your niche in this shifting market, right?

You know that Purposeful Entrepreneur Coaching is right for you if:

• You long to help others through your work
• You love the idea of helping people finally articulate their life purpose and fulfill it through a business
• You have your own spiritual practices and philosophy (whether or not you are religious per se) and find them a useful point of reference in your business life
• You long to connect with like-minded individuals who have similar goals and aspirations to yours
• You are (or want to be) a savvy business owner, and have a lot to offer to others (not a requirement, but hey, if you have it you need to share it right?)
• You believe you are living your own purpose as an entrepreneur, and want to help others do so too
• You want to make a contribution to better the planet through the work you do in business
• You value the environment and take active steps to preserve its resources through your lifestyle as well as business
• You know you have spiritual gifts as well as good business sense - but aren't quite sure who is ready for your gifts or how to share them

I’ll walk you through all the steps you need to take...from initial approach to paid coaching engagement...in just 8 short class sessions.

What Will I Learn in This Class?

SUCCESS STORY Recent Grad Turns Coaching Into 6-Figure Business Within 12 Months "Since training with you, I quickly turned my coaching specialty into a six figure business within one year. My coaching rates doubled instantly due to my expertise and credibility. Clients appreciate and will pay for coaches who have a proven system that works. You provide that system, a framework of resources that effectively move clients forward, all while achieving work life balance and increased life satisfaction.  As a result, my business more than doubles each year, I've worked with large corporations and receive requests for paid speaking engagements, even authoring my own career book this year as well. Thank you for all of the support and resources you offer. Your training is the foundation of my success.” Debora McLaughlin, The Personal Power of Influence Coach, www.OpenDoorCoaching.com Nashua, NH

Feel the energy from these students? What would it be like for you to be a part of that energy, to have the satisfaction of knowing others are successful in business because of what they learned from you?

Let’s us help you get started.

Here is the entire curriculum I plan to cover:

• Class One: Birth of the New Era of Entrepreneurship - Find out the key trends that are converging to pave the way for entrepreneurs to continue to grow in numbers, not just gradually - but exponentially! - over the coming years. Learn what types of business are easiest to start, which are prospering most, and the role of spirituality and purpose in the new business model that is taking hold. Get support for the ideas and desires you felt internally, but didn't know if anyone else shared. And discover how you can capitalize on this exciting trend, now and in the future!

• Class Two: The 6-Part Purposeful Entrepreneur Model + the Two Types of Purposeful Entrepreneur Businesses - To be successful as a Purposeful Entrepreneur requires that business owners balance 6 key factors, which comprise the revolutionary Purposeful Entrepreneur Business Model. In this class, you will bring the results of your own Purposeful Entrepreneur Compass™ assessment to class for discussion and we will explore the 6 factors in detail. You will also discover the two types of businesses and how to determine which category your client falls into (hint: you will use the same 6 factors, but their application is much different for each type!).

• Class Three: Articulating Your Client's Purpose, Activating Their Passion - Without a clear statement of one's life purpose, no purposeful entrepreneur business can be built. Using your own Life Purpose Discovery process as a guideline, you will learn how to guide your clients through their own discovery - quickly and effectively. You will find out the 10 key questions to ask AND the 4 critical factors that determine their purpose. Then, we will explore specific strategies to leverage the client's passion about their business, while staying on track with sound business practices. Passion is the "fuel" that keeps the business going during tough times - discover how to bring it back when it lags too.

• Class Four: Purposeful People/Honing Their Niche - The Purposeful Entrepreneur's products and services will match perfectly with a specific "tribe" or group of people. And the New Era of Entrepreneurship, characterized as it is by Feminine Energy, is all about connections. In this class, we help you facilitate your client's definition of their niche and audience through a series of carefully crafted questions, research techniques and feedback, so they can better connect with their customers. By clearly defining their target market, they will maximize the value and appreciation of, and income from, their products and services. A critical piece, often overlooked by uninformed business owners!

• Class Five: Presentation and Products/Choosing the Business, Purposeful Business Models, Startup Checklist - Combining purpose, passion and people, the business is now ready to launch in earnest. All of the steps for a strong start-up are discussed - and a handy checklist given. We also share with you Marcia's latest research regarding the business structure and models used by the top coaches, speakers, authors and other service business owners, so you can share this template with your clients for whom it is appropriate. Tips for helping a client choose and design the perfect business for their unique lifestyle, interests, values and purpose are also provided. (Hint: you will find out how to best design your own coaching packages as a Purposeful Entrepreneur Coach too!)

• Class Six: Purposeful Profits/Magnetizing and Managing Money - We firmly believe that to have maximum value and impact in today's business world, the Purposeful Entrepreneur's business must be profitable. Money and spirituality are not mutually exclusive - in fact, the more money one has, especially when obtained through a purposeful business, the more good one is able to do in the world. In this class we discuss the principles of magnetizing and managing money, specifically for the entrepreneur, with the unique tax strategies and financial management tactics - for both short-term and long-term success. Discover the 8 Keys to a Wealth Creation Mindset, and the 10 Financial Habits for Success that make the difference between success and failure. Reporting tips for maintaining a just-in-time view of the business' financial health are given too.

• Class Seven: Promotion: The Purposeful Entrepreneur Marketing Wheel™; Service-Based Selling Strategies - Too often, marketing is treated separately from sales, and both are discussed separately from spirituality. In this class we use our ground-breaking Purposeful Entrepreneur Marketing Wheel™ to show the relationship between purpose, passion, marketing strategies and profits. This tool alone is worth the cost of this course! We will also discuss the 4 steps to engaging clients and illustrate how to make sales a natural result of purposeful marketing, and how holding an attitude of service instead of "going for the close" will gain your clients much better results.

• Class Eight: Practicing Purposeful Entrepreneurship: Overcoming Fear, Being vs. Doing, Getting Out of Overwhelm, Creating Community and More - Once the solid foundation of the 6 key components of Purposeful Entrepreneurship are in place, the journey has just begun. Would-be entrepreneurs may be plagued by fear or self-sabotaging habits - and even if they aren't, they will need to change their mindset to "be" an entrepreneur, not just go through the motions of setting up a business. Balancing life and work commitments is increasingly difficult in today's knowledge age - but we will provide tips to help your clients blend it in the right proportion for them. As their business grows, they will find themselves facing overwhelm from too much to do, the need for business systems and more staff - and the important need to connect to other like-minded peers for support. All of these issues - plus students' questions from actual practice coaching they are beginning to do with clients - are addressed in the final class session.

Join us in the Coaching Purposeful Entrepreneurs to Success Teleclass. Master the key models and principles that will bring YOU more joy, more income, and more impact on your clients as you help them set up a business that is destined for success.

(If you already know you want to take the full certification, a discount rate is provided below.)

Okay, Marcia, Sounds Great! What’s My Minimal Investment for Your Coaching Purposeful Entrepreneurs to Success Teleseries?

Because I am committed to your personal success, I am restricting the size of this event to only a limited number of people so I can provide more personalized care and attention, and it’s interactive so you get to learn, make progress, complete exercises, and ask me questions right on the spot. Plus you have the option of follow-up coaching to assure your success. I value my time in the same way I am going to show you how to value yours.

Now, when I tried to price this, I thought about the value you will get. I tried to find some similar programs – and NO ONE is teaching this! So it is invaluable information...including the inside secrets I have NEVER revealed before. Look at the great content I’ll be delivering – and of course, the networking you’ll get to do-which is priceless!

Once you complete the program, you can easily charge from $2500 to $10,000 - even $100,000 - per client for your coaching services. So you will likely make the investment back from this training within just a few months! So I could easily price this course at $5000 or more and feel like it was a good value. But because I want to share this information with the eager students that have been requesting it...and at a good value, the investment for all 8 sessions of the course, including worksheets, bonuses, networking and the opportunity to access me directly for questions, is just $997 WOW! My advisors told me I was nuts...but I am insisting on getting this content to you - IF you act quickly!

"I'm not sure I can justify investing in my business right now, given the economy and other demands on my time and money."

Let’s put it this way: if you continued in the business (or in your job) as you are doing it now, where will you be financially and emotionally (in terms of personal fulfillment and lifestyle) in two years? In five years? Probably in pretty much the same place, right?

They say that “insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” Nothing will change until you learn the new models and inside tips that will help you shift to a whole new way of doing business.

When I started CCI, the economy was in the proverbial toilet...the dot com bubble had burst, and people were hanging on tight to their wallets, much like they are now...but I started a thriving company that continues to support me and my family. How? By seeing the opportunity, not the challenges! Fully 18 out of the 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average were launched during economic downturns, according to Fortune Small Business for January 2009. Don't miss out on the possibility you have now to build your reputation, your income, and your free time by gleaning the knowledge I will be sharing with you in this class.

But obviously, what's more important is the return on investment, not the "math game" of creating value, discounting, comparing, etc. It's not what you get for your investment in terms of what fills a box, a bag or stacks up on a price list; it's what you get FROM your investment that matters. Earn your investment back by coaching your first few individual or group coaching entrepreneur clients - and it becomes a "no-brainer" that this course is more than worth the money!

So admission to my Coaching Purposeful Entrepreneurs to Success Teleclass is just $997

As soon as you finish the course, there should be no reason why you couldn’t start your program right away.

Let me suggest that you think about it this way: Instead of looking at what it costs, think about what this opportunity is WORTH to you – in future earnings, freedom, priceless time with your children, the difference you’ll make in the world, and your personal satisfaction.

Remember, I’ll be sharing with you the exact system I have used in building my own businesses to generate more than $1 million in income...and how, by following these principles, you can too!

I am not sure if I will offer this program again, at least in its teleclass format. With other product development, entrepreneurial ventures and my own coaching programs I am not sure if I will have the time. But now I feel the need – so I hope you don’t miss out!
