which idea is your moneyspinner?
You've had enough of jobs and want to start making your own money. You've got some ideas, but how do you know which one is going to work and actually make some money?
You want to find a way to do something really creative with your life - and make some serious money doing it.
Your very first step is working out what you're actually going to do. Fortunately there are now many more ways of making a living without a job than there were even a decade ago.
Let me help you choose the right avenue to take by drawing on my experience in a wide range of working styles:
- Consulting: I consulted to blue chip organisations around the world (including the BBC) often at a rate of over £1000/day
- Freelancing: I turned a full-time job offer into a 3-days a week freelance gig that paid me the same income
- Creative projects: I cold-called the Guardian newspaper and won my first piece of paid writing with no prior experience, had my experimental music played on radio stations around the world, had my idea for a radio documentary shortlisted twice by BBC Radio with no experience of documentary making, and last year won an international publishing deal for my book Screw Work, Let's Play
- Coaching and therapy: I've built a successful 1:1 and group mentoring practice, took 7 years of counselling, psychotherapy and coaching training courses, and have worked with many coaches, therapists and complementary health practitioners to boost their businesses
- Events: I grew a meeting of a handful of people in a bar into a successful London event for creative people with up to 70 paid attendees
- Internet Marketing: I've built and managed over a dozen websites and blogs and used internet marketing to build an audience of 1000s of email subscribers, blog readers, and twitter followers eager to hear my news.
Now I want to put all this experience to use to help you choose the right project or business to pursue and work out how to make it pay!
What's holding you back?
- Don't think you have the qualifications, experience, expertise, contacts or funds to actually make a project work?
- What if the most appealing ideas don't look like they'd ever make any money?
- Not sure which project you'd really enjoy doing if you launched it?
Let me help you choose the right idea to pursue now.
My work is all about finding what you love doing and you're naturally brilliant at (even when you can't see it!), and how to turn that into something people will be only too happy to pay for.
And I've got a knack for finding a sneaky way of doing the option you'd most enjoy in a form that makes money.
(If you already know which idea you want to progress, then take a look at how I can supercharge your idea.)
How does it work?
Simple worksheets to help you choose
Firstly, I give you some simple yet brilliantly effective worksheets that 100s of people have used to work through their ideas for income streams and businesses.
The worksheets help you choose between all your options and most importantly, generate some new ideas you might have discounted before.
Find your path of least resistance
Secondly, you take an incredible personality test called Wealth Dynamics that in 15 minutes will finally reveal your path of least resistance to success and wealth.
There are only 8 paths to wealth and if your work feels like a struggle right now, you're following the wrong one. You must know the right path for you to stand a good chance of making your own business or creative project work.
You will receive a personalised 20 page wealth profile report showing which work you should focus on - and which work you should STOP doing!
I will read your worksheets and Wealth Profile before we talk and will use them throughout our session to ensure that you create a working life that feels "in flow" - achieving your best ever results with the least struggle.
One-to-one intensive with me
We then spend a packed 45 minutes on the phone as I help find the idea that excites you and stands the best chance of making you money.
The work you enjoy is usually the work you're naturally good at and you're therefore most likely to succeed in. Finding a way to get paid for it though sometimes requires some seriously lateral thinking. And it's always better done using two heads rather than one.
We have a single session together so we're not aiming to paint a complete picture of your new business. What you will go away with is a clear winner (or perhaps two) to start working on straight away - and how to do that most effectively even if you're short of free time.
If you choose, we can record the call so that you can listen to it as often as you like afterwards.
Confidentiality
If you're feeling protective of your idea, please rest assured that everything you tell me is in complete confidence. People share new business ideas with me every week and if I ever abused that trust, I would be out of business very quickly!
Too many ideas to choose just one?
I specialise in working with people who have many different interests and ideas and don't want to choose just one to pursue in their work. If this is you, you are what's called a "Scanner" and must have variety in your life to be happy. I can show you the kind of self-employment options that keep restless Scanners interested rather than having to face what Scanners fear most - boredom.
Have a look at my website for Scanners and my monthly London event Scanners Night.
