There comes a time in every business when you realize you're on a treadmill. That no matter how fast you run, or how hard you work, you never get to rest. No matter how good the month was, the next month starts again at zero.
You know you need systems and structures and strategies and other 'S' words. BUT...
But you'd rather stay on your treadmill than turn your business into some heartless automaton that sucks the spirit, life force and love (yes, the Love) out of what you do.
The 'S' words of 'systems' and 'strategies' are what turned me off of business in the first place. Heartless zombies which chewed people up and spat out money is all I could see.
Money is a nice thing to have, but not at that cost.
However, there comes a time when you realize that if your business is going to have the impact it could have, to reach the people who really need your help, then you have to conquer this seeming paradox: keeping the unique heart of what you do, while implementing systems.
Are you tired of going it alone? If you're spiritually-minded, making a difference, and need your business to be full of integrity and full of heart, then we're on the same page.
"Dear Mark
"Studying with you for the past few months has been an integral part of moving on from my stuckness around money to what I have to offer and the value I bring.
"I have been challenged, deeper than I expected, by the depth and pace of the programme. You have called me to really stand up and get through the fog, apathy and unconscious stuff I've been faffing around with for years. In short you've helped me get out of my own way and into my wisdom - to work from a deeper trust and skill level than I was.
"How do I know this? My income was non-existent and now it is growing. I can look myself in the eye and know that I am able to support myself and family financially. Somehow I am standing on the ground now, in a way I wasn't before your course despite many many different processes and attempts.
Namaste

Six months of practical and heart-centered support
to build the foundations and structures your business needs to support you.
This series was specifically designed with you in mind. The structure, the guidance, the information, and the healing is all aimed at one thing: showing you that you can turn on the money flow, without selling your heart.
Are these results that you want?"This December I've been incredibly busy, and will bill more than double what I've billed any previous December.
I believe this is because a change in attitude on my part, stemming from my work with you, has allowed my relationships with clients to be easier and more natural. Yay!"
Susan Pomeroy, Richmond, CA
Your most critical task is to get super-crystal clear on your core marketing message. Once you get clear with this, everything else falls into place, kind of like falling off a log. Unfortunately, this is also the hardest task to complete solo- and stopping part-way through means that your business can't go into momentum, doomed to muddy vagueness.
Like me, you probably have friends (or maybe even you), who have finished business classes or books without anything ever happening. You learned bunches, but still the whole class, as fun as it was, felt like money and time down the drain. Every time I see this happen, I feel deeply sad. When not enough attention is given to helping you feel the certainty of your core message deep in your bones, you can't stand behind it whole-heartedly, nor build effective systems on top of it.
I've found that the best way to get this bone-deep clarity takes more than a formula. It takes spiritual alignment, introspection, support from others, an understanding of the structures involved, and a real feeling of spaciousness.
So, that's what you get. I've designed this series to help you walk all the way through to this clarity in the first five weeks. This way, we spend the remaining months in implementation and fine-tuning, so you actually see more business come in.
"Mark,
"I want to take a moment to really honor you as a teacher *and* as a healer.
"Your commitment to supporting everyone in the class started on the very first day and hasn't faltered since. You hold a space that truly respects everyone's vulnerabilities, and at the same time you absolutely expect people to keep working and moving forwards to the best of their abilities.
"You have a real talent for bringing people to a deeper sense of what they *really* are offering to the world ("planting their flag," as you call it), and supporting them through what can be a painful place of self-discovery and vulnerability in reaching that place.
"The work that I've produced in the first few months of this class, and the work that my classmates have produced, is tremendous. I am finally able to write and talk about my work in ways that feel true to me, and really connect with who I am. And that is having results - right from the simplest (since putting my new tagline in my email signature a few weeks ago, I've gotten more comments about it than I ever got in years of using my old ones!) through to the most tangible: clients signing up for my services. I'm also starting to develop programs based on a much more concrete understanding of what my clients want and why.
"I can only add that when I signed up for your class, I was pretty much at my wit's end. I'd taken other programs and worked very hard, but things weren't coming together for me. Your expertise, compassion, and focus have made all the difference to me and to the success of my business.
Thank you!
Grace Judson"

A past participant in the Focus on Marketing™ class worked on one of the early homework assignments, getting clear on her Who and What. With support from the group, she not only got her message down, then followed through with the assignment to practice saying to the people she knew or came across. She then sent her check-in to the group:
"I shared my homework with several people outside of class. A friend asked me how much I would charge to help her. Another friend begged me to give her a price to come over and help her, too. Then someone called to ask me if I would coach someone else in this same area! This really works!" – Christine S., Virginia
"As I talked with people, I used elements of my CFS (Customer-Focused Story), leading off with my 'I help...' The results were astounding!
"I've always stumbled as I've tried to explain what I do. As rough as my CFS is, people got it! And, what's even more amazing is they wanted to work with me! Not 'sorta', but genuine enthusiasm."

If you've ever read a book or taken a workshop on business, and haven't followed through despite your best intentions, then you already know what's wrong.
Everyone knows what steps you should take, but no one tells you how to handle it when you are overwhelmed, stuck, or resistant. There are a 1001 books out there telling you what to do, but few help you ease through resistance without running roughshod over your heart and ethics.
That's where the strength of this class kicks in. Far more than methods, even far beyond simple support and accountability, the transformational aspect appears when you realize that you are being healed of misconceptions, beliefs and patterns that have blocked you from being fully successful. The forward movement in your marketing and business happens when your heart finally feels full, and you have fuel to run on.
You are already successful in many ways, and have the seeds for even more. In most cases, you just need some internal fine-tuning, and some concrete skills and knowledge to help those seeds bloom.
I have spent years accumulating information on marketing and business from the best people in the field. This course is going to take the best nuggets, and weave them together to help you create business structures that are both very effective and truly healing.
This course is absolutely unique, because the Heart of Business approach is unique- topflight marketing information that is informed by more than 1500 years of Sufi spiritual tradition. You might call it "enlightened marketing."
"Dear Mark,
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for everything that you
have taught me. As you know, I have struggled so much trying to build my
practice by myself using 'do-it-yourself' programs, and I just kept getting
stuck over and over.
"Giving myself the gift of a truly supportive, hands-on
program, has been the best thing I ever did for my business. When I get
stuck, you have taught me how to get not only unstuck but filled with the
desire to move forward to the next level. Thank you Thank you!"

• The Moneyflow course, which consists of four Core Classes, plus a small handful of mini-classes. A total of sixteen 90-minute to 2-hour teleconference calls in six months, plus one live in-person event.
All classes will meet on Wednesdays, at noon pacific. To find out what time that is in your part of the world, click to see the world clock.
The curriculum will cover four core classes, plus additional smaller classes.
Class #1: Five Week Foundational Intensive
In this first class, we cover the foundations of any business: the core story and spiritual jewel. It solidifies and defines what the business is. The spiritual nature of this intensive means that you have a source of nourishment in your business, so you don't become depleted.
The practical nature of the intensive means that you will finally have a super clear way to think about, talk about, and write about your business, so that others get it, and you can go into momentum.
Bonus: There is a sixth class that will help you, in one afternoon, turn your core story into the content of a website, so that you don't have to take forever getting it launched.
The dates: Jan 14, 21, 28, Feb 4, Feb 11 and bonus website content class on Feb 25.
Mini classes: Networking and Building Strategic Alliances.
Networking will help you understand how to enter a networking event and make the contacts you need. It's hard to enter one of those networking events without feeling either like a wolf on the hunt, or like the most unpopular person in high school. This class will give you the foundation to network with fun and ease, while actually making business contacts.
Date: March 11.Building Strategic Alliances will give you the tools to access the most powerful strategy in marketing. Making contact with influential people who are willing to recommend you and your business to their lists and their communities is the closest thing to a magic wand that can move your business forward, quickly.
Date: March 18
Class #2: The Sacred Moment Live Seminar, plus Bonus Day
How to talk to potential clients with integrity and heart,
and still get paid.
The conversations you have with potential clients, potential strategic partners, potential anybody who is willing to help you with your business, are sacred. They are also critical. If you aren't successful with these conversations, then your business languishes.
But, when you are successful, your business flourishes, and you get paid.
As a Moneyflow participant, you come to this live event for a fraction of the cost, plus you get a bonus additional day with me for live, in-person support, coaching, and teaching. That's right, people who attend the Sacred Moment go home, and you and the other Moneyflow participants stay for an extra day.
There will be one live Sacred Moment two-day seminar:
March 25-27 in Portland, Oregon
Class #3: Article Writing
Whether you blog, send an ezine, or publish in a printed magazine, the written word is a powerful way to create momentum in your business. Understanding how to write a truly delicious article, that is nourishing, helpful, but also zesty and attention-getting, is a must.
There is no more powerful way to multiple your efforts and effects. The basics of story-telling that you'll learn in this class will also translate to other media, such as audio and video, if you are venturing in that direction.
Dates: April 8, 15, 22
Class #4: Heart-Centered Copywriting
Learn how to write so your customers purchase. Without using hype or manipulation.
Copywriting is critical to building momentum in your business. If you can't effectively present, in a heart-centered way, your offers and products in written form, then you will be spending a LOT of time trying to get the right people to feel safe enough to purchase them.
With Heart-Centered Copywriting, you can begin to connect to your clients in a much deeper way, just through the written page. This course goes far beyond the writing, or paint-by-number templates. It shows you the structures and strategies that help make your copy effective, while leaving plenty of room to bring your heart and authenticity in.
Dates: May 20, 27, June 3, 10, 17
Plus the final integration of the entire Moneyflow Course: July 1.
Here's all the meeting dates at once:

• Bonus: CD/mp3 recordings of each class.
Approx 36 hours of recordings. Value: $800.00
A few days after each class, you will have access to the live recording of each group session, either by mp3 or CDs mailed to you. This way, you never have to miss, and you can listen in as many times as you want.
Did I answer a question that isn't covered in the book? You'll have it. Did another participant give you the perfect marketing phrase, but no one wrote it down? You'll have it.
• Bonus: Partnered exercises between the group calls.

Value: What would the other participants ordinarily charge you on an hourly basis for help? Some past participants have had hourly rates over $300 (and $300 x 15 = $4500).
But we'll be conservative, and rate the whole thing at $1500.00
While group sessions and online feedback are really powerful, they aren't enough. You need one-on-one time for compassionate, accountable support to actually get things done. We will partner you with other participants to get that one-on-one support.
Through the Heart of Business approach that I've been perfecting for years, every participant becomes a skilled coach/guide/support person to help you powerfully on both an emotional level, and on a practical, applied level. You don't get just a class, you get an entire supportive community.
• Bonus: A private online discussion forum.

Value: $300
As you implement the class, you will be wanting a lot of feedback and editing. Rather than filling your inbox with a flood of emails from the group, we'll use a powerful online discussion forum that keeps posts grouped by subject, with easy-access archives, and lots of opportunity for detailed feedback and editing.
• In-depth feedback and editing from me on your marketing.
Value: $3000
A client who was a best-selling author in her field told me, "I love your coaching- it's meant everything. But, even more than that has been your editing. Your editing has enabled me to get published in trade magazines all over my country."
Just by being in this course, you'll get my in-depth feedback on your writing.
Why premium bonuses? You get these bonuses with the premium version of the class, and they are intended to help solidify, strengthen, and support the implementation of everything you'll be learning and integrating over the six months of the class.
By including them as premium bonuses, I can get them to you without you having to guess what you need, and you save hundreds of dollars.

In addition to the full day of Moneyflow-participants-only day after the Sacred Moment seminar, you'll also get individual access to me and my colleague Jim Brosseau for personal support.
You'll have at least two individual sessions with me, plus the access to schedule additional 15-20 minute appointments with me during the course. Have a question that needs hashing out? Have an emergency that arises? You can call on me.
Plus, there's Jim Brosseau, too. Jim is someone who had been a client for several years, runs his own successful business using Heart of Business teachings, and has received the same Sufi healership training I've had. He's part of the Heart of Business team, and has been working with clients, and you'll get at least one session from him as well.
So, you get support from both of us.
No matter what business you are in, teleclasses can be an exceptional way to connect with customers, as well as a great source of revenue. But, you can't see the participants! Spiritual connection, plus some good ol' fashioned teaching tricks, will help you lead teleclasses with confidence and effectiveness.
Because strategy and email reminders are such a key to having your webpage be successful, your promotional emails play a key role. You'll have examples of successful promotional emails to study, deconstruct, and crib from for your own emails.
How do you promote more than one thing at a time, without overwhelming your list? List segmentation is the answer. This easy-to-follow tutorial shows you how to segment your email lists, so you aren't overwhelming your prospective customers, and also so you aren't trying to sell them something they've already bought.
