Hi Pj….another great way to bring community together in support of one another.
Congratulations on designing a wonderful platform to generate more prosperity in all the lives you touch.
My name is Gail Vilcu, and I currently live in Beautiful, Vancouver BC.
I am a life strategist coach and I help people get unstuck from their past beliefs and out-dated habits, ultimately helping them design a life that flows and a vision that grows.
I can be found on the web at http://www.gailvilcu.com or feel free to join my exciting and interesting community on facebook at http://facebook.com/GreaterVisionCoachingandTraining.
In my spare time….I always invest whatever time I can into creating products or opportunities that helps other people, take their life to the next level. Whether going out and meeting new people and supporting them with a challenge, getting to know what is missing and helping them find a solution or connecting with JV’s and designing our continual and evolving formula of Personal Healing and Development. Currently I am designing and developing a First of its kind, new technology of Whole Brain Programming, Imagine, what life will be like when you can comfortably and effortlessly change your old patterns and start designing your life the way you vision it. This is all part of Greater Vision’s Mission, and we are excited to be supporting our International Clients.
My deepest love and joy comes from, spending time with my children and grandson, or just chilling in the mountains with a good book and some soothing music, hosting rockin dinner parties, or just hanging out with my close friends and laughing lots.
I would love to connect with you if you or someone you know is looking to gain a clearer understanding of why you continually do what you do, or feel the way you feel, even when you may have attempted to do it a different way(s).
I can not express the deep pleasure I get when experiencing a person who has been struggling in his/her life for far too long, and quickly receive the powerful breakthrough from their past beliefs and adopt a new way of being or relating and seriously change their outcomes in life.
So, I am looking for people who are ready to take action now and seriously committed to making a profound difference in other peoples lives and ultimately their own. Within this, I am excited to work with people who value the equal exchange of energy. My focused goal is to help 20 people (each year), from around the world, change their financial and personal blueprint, and in the process help them pay it forward.
My International Coaching and Training Practice is successfully on track and always interested in finding new people to work with, design programs with, or to mastermind with. “Together we all achieve more,” is my model, and this work is not accomplished by any one individual. I am often told, I work too much and maybe even to serious about what I do, for other people viewing my success, I get that, and I am very clear on my goals and objectives, therefore, I want to connect with you, and find out how we can support each other.
After all, if you can not invest in yourself, how do you expect anyone else to invest in you.
Thank you for taking the time to read and make a decision on whether our model/goal is in alignment with your desires.

Hi! I’m Anne Timpany, also known as Laughing Anne. 🙂
For fun in my spare time, I love wandering around in wonder, hiking outdoors, swimming, skiing, writing, enjoying raw food, and learning, learning, learning – about life, people, myself, the cosmos… I just love expanding into new territory!
I have just launched the Joy Coaching Playground, where I help clients to discover and embody Joy through whole-body practices: breathing, movement, laughter, and play. I love working with people who want to transform, to grow, and to live more positively and who appreciate having guidance as they learn techniques to support themselves on the journey of personal growth. I love working with people who want to have more fun on the path to inner peace! I do coaching in person, phone, or skype, creating a virtual “playground” in which we integrate the power of conscious intention and visualization with movement and playful interactions to create sustainable habits grounded in positive emotion and light-heartedness. (I also teach group classes in Joyful Living, Joyful Parenting, Joy in the Workplace, and I am also a Laughter Yoga instructor. 🙂
My website is: http://www.embodyingjoy.com
Good strategic alliances for me are :
~ Coaches/consultants who work with people who are successful professionally but have a case of “serious-itis” and would like to lighten up. (This includes business/executive coaches/consultants and life coaches)
~ Spiritual programs/centers where people are deeply committed to spiritual growth and yet find themselves taking it rather seriously. 🙂
~ Law of Attraction coaches/programs who work with people who want to learn practical techniques that help them to raise their vibration in a sustainable manner.
~ Conscious parenting programs or moms’ groups where mothers (and dads!) are learning how to have better relationships and interactions with their children and would like to have more fun and play in the process.
What I’d love support with is:
~ referrals for my coaching practice;
~ creating strategic alliances; and
~ generating speaking opportunities (telesummits, teleseminars, radio, tv, retreats, and yes, I will check out the Client Attraction Mastermind call you did on “How to Get More Speaking Gigs” — THANK YOU! 🙂
Thank you so much for creating this event! I am so enjoying “meeting” everyone here!
With joyful gratitude,
Anne
Anne,
Like your idea! There are a lot of business owners who are very serious and their business is their whole life even in front of family and I think that is sad. It’s sad not to smile or laugh. Hopefully you can help lighten them up!
Blessings,
Gary
Hello, my name is Kathryn McKinnon.
I’m an executive life coach and an expert at Time Management with 32 years of business experience working in Corporate America, as an executive administrator at Harvard Business School and as a corporate consultant.
I help overwhelmed and overworked women executives, professionals, entrepreneurs and “open-minded” men create order out of chaos with their life, career and their time.
In my spare time, I design and create beautiful custom-made gemstone jewelry with a purpose which I market online at http://www.daikomyo.com; I also sing professionally and I’ve been a Reiki Master since 1995. I’ve been married for 22 years to a fabulous guy and we have 2 wonderful teenage boys. We live on the east coast in Marblehead Massachusetts and enjoy the pleasures of the sea and sailing during the summer months and winter sports when the snow falls.
I just wrote and published a book on Amazon in less than 90 days. It made the best seller list for its category in less than 6 weeks. It’s titled, “Triple Your Time Today: 10 proven Time Management Strategies to Help You Create and Save More Time!”
It’s located here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00585CI1G
In case you’re interested, you can get a FREE chapter of my book and receive timely tips and advice on saving and creating more time when you sign up to receive my weekly EZINE at http://www.Kathryn-McKinnon.com.
I’m interested in promoting my book and building my list of contacts and clients. Good strategic alliances for me are other coaches, Associations and radio hosts looking for speakers on the topic of Time Management. I’m also interested in partnering with others on tele-seminars and in joint ventures.
Another strategic alliance for me is any company interested in helping its executives and professionals learn better ways to manage their time. I’d love to partner with companies interested in buying my book as a training tool, as part of a workshop or as a give-away to employees or customers.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to “Speak my Mind.” It’s been a real pleasure.
Best of luck to all!
My name is Margaret Owen.
For fun in my spare time, I like to watch TV, travel, spend time with my family. I have 2 sons, 1 daughter (in their 30’s) and 5 grandkids aged 6 weeks to 8 years old. I watch 2 year old every Friday and 1-3 of the others every Saturday or Sunday.
Good strategic alliances for me are…not sure.
Although I have been a travel agent for 21 years and have a varied travel knowledge, I now specialize in CRUISES and have extensive knowledge for matching the right cruise to the right person.
My website is: http://blog.owentravel.com.
What I’d love support with is…not sure.
My name is Mary Liu.
For fun in my spare time, I love to travel, ballroom dancing, karaoke with friends, read, and spend time with family and friends.
Good strategic alliances for me are women speakers and coaches that offer workshops, teleseminars, telesummits that empower other women, especially if they have an e-mail list that they regularly communicate with.
What I do is provide a website that I am currently launching where women speakers can get resources to share their gifts with others to Be Bold. Be Brilliant. Be Seen!
This is a brand new website which is currently a work in progress, once completed, will be a resource center for women speakers to access Tutorials for Online Marketing, Social Media, Webinars, Teleseminars, Videos, Event Planning Tools & More!
Additionally, women speakers you will be able to post your event on the Empowered Women Speakers Calendar for all to see! :o)
My website is: http://www.EmpoweredWomenSpeakers.com
What I’d love support with is spreading the word about this new site to all women speakers, coaches, and women who enjoy learning from other empowered women.
Please let me know how I can support you too!
Thank you!
Warmly,
Mary
My name is Natalie Houston and I’m a personal productivity coach and English professor. In my spare time, I play with my dogs, run, practice Bikram yoga, read, and watch movies.
My website is: http://www.nmhouston.com
I work with academics, writers, and artists who want to move forward on the projects that matter most to them, gain more control over their time, and achieve better work/life balance.
If you find yourself struggling with procrastination when you’re supposed to be writing something, whether it’s a book, article, or web copy, then I can help.
I’m considering developing some niche products specifically around writer’s procrastination. So strategic alliances with communities of writers would be welcome.
Welcome, Natalie!
Cyndee Paulon-Heer and Caterina Rando do work with people to get their books written and published. There may be a way for you to work together.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Gary Gosch.
I have passion in two business areas and have businesses in both – running and business coaching/consulting/facilitating. I’ve just started in the second one and learned some great ideas through the symposium.
In my spare time, I like to run, hike, be outdoors, read, watch movies, listen to music, etc.
My websites are runningwithgary.com and http://www.facebook.com/pages/CEO-Focus-Nashville/100301203400675
I work with runners of all ages and help them achieve goals whether it be losing weight or running the Boston Marathon or youth that want to make the school team or win the state meet.
On the other side, I work with a lot of small business owners and solo business owners who need guidance in running their business, attracting clients, project management, strategic planning, operations, customer service, selling, human resources, etc.
PJ, you and your friends have some unbelievable information!!
I would like alliances who can help me with websites and attracting more clients.
My name is Heather Toone
For fun in my spare time, I like to sing. Think Nora Jones, Sarah McLachlan, Dido type voice/songs. I also love being in nature, cooking delicious food, and spending time with my amazing sons, ages 13 and 10. I also have to roll with Jason-orgasmic sex is a fave!
Good strategic alliances for me are those who can help me with getting the word out about my business-specifically online, those who have an established audience who could interview me in a public setting (teleseminars, television, write-ups in magazines, etc), and most importantly those who push me to live bigger, brighter, better!
4. What I do: I am a health coach, which means I combine nutrition and life-coaching into one fabulous package and help those in my program change their health and lives from the inside out. I am passionate about helping women, in particular, who struggle with addictions, overwhelm, weight issues, and lack of goals and dreams, femininity…which usually results from the overwhelm of life for us busy ladies!
5. My website is: http://www.tooneup.com/.
6. What I’d love support with is nailing down my niche, creating online “courses,” that make it very easy for clients to sign up, pay, and begin their training immediately, and marketing strategies that make the most of my efforts. I am also planning a retreat in Costa Rica in May, 2013, and would love help with that endeavor!
I would also like to say THANK YOU for this creative space and collaboration!
*hugs*
Hi Heather!
Do you live in Logan, Utah? I just sent you a Facebook request. I have a ton of friends in Utah & got excited when I saw Logan on your profile.
I great marketing strategy for you is e-mail swaps (cross promoting with other experts in your niche).
For example, Katie Keene has free bi-weekly weight loss tips that focus on little habits changes over diet or deprivation:
http://snackerstoppers.com/weight-loss-tips.html
You could send an e-mail to your list about her tips, and she could send an e-mail to her list about your stuff.
Do you have a free report or something that people can opt in for?
PJ,
I DO live in Logan, UT! How wonderful that you have tons of friends in my neck of the woods. I see a “girls day” in our future…
I love the idea of email swaps, and appreciate the suggestion! I will definitely start implementing that. I am also working on a free…something…I just created a meditation that helps women feel centered and reclaim their feminine wisdom, power, and highest Self. Perhaps that would be a good freebie!
Please join us for our LAST Total Niche Clarity Interview in just a few minutes at 2:00 pm Pacific time:

It takes a little while to read through the posts and compose replies. My intention is to comment on every post, so if I haven’t replied to yours yet, please check back in a little while. : D
1. My name is Jason Fonceca, and I love humanity.
2. For fun in my spare time, I like rock-climbing, team games, and sex.
3. Good strategic alliances for me are ‘cool kids’, ‘success-makers’, passionate-artists and bloggers.
4. I work with creative entrepreneurs who know they`re talented but not-quite-successful, helping them to live wealthier lives.
5. My website is: http://spiritsentient.com.
6. What I’d love support with is Creating A Community and Acquiring Traffic.
And two more things:
a) I love your stuff PJ & friends, thank you, it’s a pleasure to connect with you.
b) Am I in the wrong place? Is everyone here women? Is there no value a bad-ass like myself can offer? 😛
Keep rockin’ everyone!
Hi Jason!
I’m so pleased & delighted that you included “sex” on your list! : D
There are men here, too. You’re in the right place.
Have you checked out Tad Hargrave’s stuff?
He could be a good potential strategic alliance for you:
http://marketingforhippies.com/
Rejuvenate does an incredible job of creating community.
As for acquiring traffic, LMK if you’re interested in List-a-Palooza & I’ll pre-register you.
I’m curious, what’s List-a-Palooza?
It’s the tele-summit that I’m hosting next year, possibly followed by a live event After Party / Workshop.
It’s a 90 Day Challenge to help speakers & coaches add 10,000 subscribers to their list in 90 days or less.
I’ll interview people with big lists (Loral Langemeier has already said she wants to do it) on specific list building strategies, we’ll have contests, prizes, networking… it’ll be a blast! : D
Please add me to be a part of that. I would love to participate in it!
Hi,
My name is Cindy Schulson and I’m the founder of Attract Your Niche. My website is http://www.attractyourniche.com.
I help coaches, consultants, trainers and other soloprofessionals find their niche and create the strategic foundation they need to attract their ideal clients, make marketing easier and earn multiple streams of income.
A great strategic alliance partner for me is another business coach/consultant/trainer who helps soloprofessionals build their business. I have a Guest Expert Interview series where I feature professionals who love to add value and share their expertise in areas such as sales, social media, time management, copywriting, etc…
If you would like to explore the possibility of being a guest speaker, just let me know! The easiest way to reach me is at http://www.attractyourniche.com/contact
In my spare time, I love hanging out with my family, working out and reading. I’m a mom of two boys ages 10 and 7 who keep me on my toes:)
thanks and warm wishes,
Cindy
Hi Cindy!
Awesome! I think a lot of the Total Niche Clarity Virtual Symposium speakers would be good strategic alliances for you:
https://www.prosperitytrainings.com/tnc/
Thanks PJ. Michele Scism was the one who let me know about this event. I believe she was one of your speakers. I’ve featured Michele as one of my Guest Expert speakers – she’s wonderful. I look forward to connecting with other speakers and trainers as well.
warm wishes,
Cindy
Hello my name is Kimeiko Vision
For fun in my spare time, I like “find the hidden gems”and hole in the wall restaurants in town, play with angel cards, sky diving, read, play the drums, and much more.
Good strategic alliances for me are folks who work with or know people:
who are dealing with grief/loss and trying to move on…
who need help effectively releasing trauma regarding painful memories, past mistakes or subconcious programming…
who’d love to nutrture/ bring out their clients’ “playful inner child”…
know they are very ‘visual’ or tactile, and want to engage this skill/interest during virtual or live events…
who know that visualization is a powerful tool but don’t know exactly ‘what to visualize’…
who consider themselves very spiritual and are interested in learning more about and connecting with their own guardian angels and spirit guides…
What I do is:
Well you know how some people know their lives are meant for so much more? Like they can FEEL something REALLY BIG coming around the corner, but they have NO IDEA what it is…and they are afraid that if they DON’T FIGURE IT OUT SOON that they may MISS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME BLESSING?
I help people take a step off of the platform and get onto the ‘train to success’ even if they don’t know what their final destination looks like. While they’re on the train we develope a clear vision of what their ideal train stop will look like so they know when to get off. I also connect them with their own infallible spiritual support team, providing them with 24 hour help on their journey, so they can ONLY DO WORK THAT ENERGIZES THEM and make more money and love life again.
My website is a work in progress but you can find me on fb, my personal page is: Kimeiko Rae
WHAT I’D LOVE SUPPORT IN IS hearing YOUR PERSONAL STORY about your VERY FIRST STEPS you took to start your business. I am new to being an entrepreneur and it would allow me to both learn more about you, glean knowledge from your successes and mistakes and also allow me to PRACTICE INTERVIEWING SKILLS. In return I can help you practice being interviewed for radio and/teleconferences.
(geez I was so nervous about posting the template I forgot to sign off!) 🙂
🙂 Thanks so much PJ and Anne! This final “networking lunch” is such a fun idea! The entire event was so great, I learned tons and can’t wait to see what you ladies do next.
Now I’m off to Have Fun. Do Good. and Make Money!
Angel Blessings,
Kimeiko Vision
KimeikoVision888@gmail.com
Thanks, Kimeiko! You rock! : D
Did you see Audrey Pellicano’s post on this page? She works with widows. Possible collaboration?
My name is Cal Simone.
For fun in my spare time, I like salsa dancing.
I don’t know what good strategic alliances for me would be. When I first moved from the East Coast to the SF Bay area a few years ago, I thought it would be great to partner with people who had complementary skills to offer them together. And I was struck how everyone just wanted to build their own practice. Lots of little points of light competing in their own little ways for the same audience.
I help people and organizations know themselves better, have better relationships, and discover their life’s purpose. I bring that which is unconscious to consciousness. Lately my work has taken on a “balance” theme.
I’m also a leader in my men’s group, which is an advanced group, mainly consisting of men who’ve already done a lot (for many of us, decades) of work on themselves.
My website is healthesplit.com. This is not really a public site, just a place to park my articles that have been published elsewhere.
What I’d love support with is getting a pile of clients, both individuals and organizations/companies.
[At this point, I have no money to spend on programs — which is what I seem to get bombarded with — and with my background and the impact I tend to have, I had intended to be one of the “talking heads” in these summits (like TNC).]
Hi Cal!
Hosting an event like this is a lot of work, but it’s definitely a way to grow your list and attract a lot of attention. And it doesn’t cost nearly as much as a live event to produce. Our main expenses were graphic design and our website updates.
I can totally appreciate where you’re coming from in terms of finding strategic alliances that “get it.” It makes SO MUCH more sense to collaborate instead of compete, but not everyone thinks the way we do. These guys get it:
https://rejuvenate.infusionsoft.com/go/TNCRYP/TNC/
I recommend attending their 2-Day Intensive and meeting other holistic practitioners & coaches in the same mindset.
Also, I think you’re in the right place, checking out the Total Niche Clarity Virtual Symposium. From what you’ve shared about your business, it’s clear that narrowing your niche would make it A LOT easier for you to attract more clients.
Here’s an article that my friend Tad did on “16 Ways to Know if Your Niche is the Root Cause of Your Marketing Woes:”
http://marketingforhippies.com/sixteen-ways-to-know-if-your-niche-is-the-root-cause-of-your-marketing-woes/
My name is Monique E. Hunt – My Clients call me Dr. Nique
For fun in my spare time, I like dancing, swimming, boating, camping, reading, laughing, traveling anywhere near water – pond, lake, river and ocean! Antigua is my favorite! Spending time with my family.
Good strategic alliances for me are heart-centered business owners providing business services to soul-inspired entrepreneurs.
What I do is teach entrepreneurs how to trust and tap into their intuition for guidance in business, life and love.
My website is: http://www.drmonique.com
What I’d love support with is speaking opportunities and inspirational speakers with great life stories for my Sunday morning Intuitive Insight and Inspiration Show.
Hi Dr. Nique!
Which city are you based out of?
Just wondering-
Angel Blessings,
Kimeiko Vision 🙂
Hi Kimeiko,
I am located in Benicia, California between San Francisco and Sacramento.
Peace and Blessings to you….
Monique
Yay, Monique! It’s so great to “see you” here! : D
Monique, have you connected with the Rejuvenate community yet? I think they’re totally your tribe. ; D
I’d be delighted to be part of your show, if you think it’s a good match. Here’s what I’ve been through since I saw you last:
https://www.prosperitytrainings.com/about/
For speaking opportunities for you, I recommend connecting with Cyndee Paulson-Heer about speaking at her Enchanted Business Women’s networking group. I think you two would click:
http://www.facebook.com/cyndee.paulsonheer
Hey Lady PJ,
I was planning on giving you a call about speaking! Would love to chat with you and catch up. I will send you a message to schedule chat time and to schedule a date to have you as a guest!
Thanks for the resources. I did attend a Rejuvenate event…they are amazing!! I will vist Cyndee’s facebook page.
Thanks for your support and for sharing! This has been a great experience. Happy to see you well and happy!
Peace and Light!
Hi Everyone! My name is Carol Piro.
For fun in my spare time, I like to dance to either live music or in my living room 🙂 But my very first love and best free therapy is belting out a great blues or soul tune (I’m a singer too). Music is my ultimate passion.
Good strategic alliances for me are…. not exactly sure yet…
I Am a Law of Attraction Life Coach and I teach how to deliberately partner with essential laws to start living a life you can love through teleseminars – still trying to clarify my niche – several ideas but not sure which is the right one (if any).
My website is http://www.lotuspod.org for now.
What I’d love support with is clarifying my niche and pulling together all the pieces to effectively market my teleseminars, expand my reach and grow my mailing list.
My next free teleconference called “Breathing in the Vortex” is happening on Tuesday, October 18th at 8pm EST and is chockfull of immediately usable content for pumping up your magnetizing power.
Would love for you all to listen in… just send me an email for dial-in details at carol@lotuspod.org.
Thank you PJ!
Hi Carol 🙂
I’m curious, when did you first hear of the niche concept? Do you have a niche idea that you are playing/experimenting with?
Angel Blessings,
Kimeiko Vision 🙂
Hi Carol!
I think you’re on to something with having tele-seminars being part of your niche.
Now all you have to do is focus on a specific group to work with and a specific problem you solve.
For example, “I work with speakers and trainers (specific group) who are concerned about burning out from traveling from speaking gig to speaking gig. I show them how to leverage their time and energy through leading profitable tele-seminars.”
OR “I work with speakers and trainers who are having the challenge of their local marketplace being saturated. I help them expand their business and make a bigger difference through leading profitable tele-seminars.”
Hello Everyone,
My name is Kathleen Whalen and I am a Sacred Artist /sculptress in my spare time, painting yantra and making Venus sculptures out of copper. Travel to remote places charged with vital energy is another love. On my list is Bhutan, sikkim (already have been to my. Kailas in Tibet).
I am an acupuncturist turned Vedic/Indian astrologer assisting Conscious entrepreneurs to maximize their work, find right timing for launches, raising rates, social media blasts and living harmoniously and abundantly.
Strategic alliances with Ayurvedic practitioners, yoga instructors, Acupuncturists, massage therapists, hypnotherapists & coaches create prosperous relationships for all involved.
I am interested in working with coaches who ‘get’ the power of Vedic astrology and want to integrate a consult with me for their clients as part of their process to quickly zero in on the best place for their clients focus.
http://Www.vedicastrologyguide.com
Oh, I want my free ConsciousCalendar at http://www.ConsciousCalendars.com to go viral. So everyone can benefit from the Universal rhythms and make wise decisions daily with confidence.
Hi Kathleen!
I’m super excited to work on the 2012 RPI calendar with you this afternoon! : D
Hi Kathleen!
Sounds like a great service. I will be contact you! 🙂
Hi Kathleen:)
Yes, your service sounds very powerful, and I can feel your passion for what you do in just that short passage you wrote. Have you been doing Blogs or video postings? I can see vieo being a hit for you… It would be so lovely!
Angel Blessings,
Kimeiko Vision.
Hi everyone. My name’s garliq (pronounced like the food).
in my spare time, oh wait, i’m a parent who homeschools and works for himself, i don’t have any spare time.
But that’s ok because I’m really passionate about parenting! Particularly, I really love that parenting is a healing journey. I learn SO much about the nature of reality and the innocent states of childhood.
And I my work is largely supporting parents and caregivers. You know how parents in our communities really struggle with using pharmaceuticals and antibiotics? Well, I help them to align their home health care practices with the deeper values. I help them to feel safe and to trust in more gentle, but still really effective herbal remedies.
As an example, my son got pneumonia when he was 2. He had a super high fever and we, his parents, got really scared! I gave him a medicine that I made from Elderberries, Elder flowers, ginger and lemon. With in 2 minutes his temperature dropped and he was sleeping restfully. What a relief for us!
I’m so excited about sharing this experience with other parents! There are so many plant medicines growing all around us.
and a special thanks to pj and anne. i’ve really enjoyed listening to these talks.
strength & wisdom.
garliq
You are doing something that is so valuable, helping parents to feel empowered around caring for their own children. There are so many confusing messages out there I commend you for offering this type of guidance so people can make informed decisions and act out of freedom instead of fear!!!
Thanks, Garliq!
I’m definitely a huge fan of natural remedies and highly skeptical and resistant to a lot of Western medicine.
May I ask your advice?
I’ve been sneezing a lot this morning, and I have a runny nose, which is driving me crazy.
I’m leading a teleclass with Anne & Cyndee in about an hour… our LAST interview of this Total Niche Clarity series.
Is there anything you can recommend to stop the sneezing & runny nose quickly?
I’d be very grateful. ; D
thanks for your positive feed back!
and to answer your question, my “go to” for sneezing and runny noses is a plant called Eyebright. you can likely find it in the herb section at a local health food store. or maybe send someone since you’re hosting in an hour.
if that’s not possible, you can make a tea with some common cooking spices such as Sage, Thyme, &/ or Oregano. These are great at drying out nasal cavities. i’d suggest 1-2 Tbs per cup of hot water. mix and match or just use 1.
my last suggestion is Licorice tea if you have some. strong! it’ll sooth your throat and help keep down any swelling.
good luck. i look forward to the call at 2!
garliq
http://www.urbanherbschool.ca
Thanks, Garliq!
These are GREAT tips, and I’ve never heard them before! : D
Hi Garliq!
I can see your busines and niche really being sought after in the next ten years as the “Indigo Children” are coming of age and starting to have their own children now. Does this make sense?
PS- love the advice you gave PJ, including your suggestion of how to leverage her time while following your advice (send someone else!) I’m writing it down!
Love and Blessings to You,
Kimeiko Vision
thanks kimeiko!
i am hopeful that my work will be sought after more and more over the next few years. i do know of the Indigos, though not much. is there something specific that you’re called to share?
i imagine that with peak oil and the hopeful collapse of global capitalism, that eating locally will become a necessity. Local and sustainable medicines will be a huge part of the transition back to the human animal living harmoniously with the rest of the Living World.
strength & wisdom.

Is there a call going on now or is just that we’re to post to this blog?
Thx!
No call.
Just posting to the blog so that you can promote your business to other people in the Total Niche Clarity community and get to know each other. ; D
There will be a call at 2:00 pm Pacific time (our last interview of the series) on “”When I Grow Up” – How to Find Your Authentic Business Voice with Cyndee Paulson-Heer.
I just want to say how awsome you are PJ. You are a veritible plethara of ways for people to connect and find success in their business. You are so generous and you really embody the idea of win-win. I just want to say what a pleasure it has been doing this event with you. You Rock as always!
Thanks, Anne! *blush* You are a rock star acknowledgement giver! : D
My name is Audrey Pellicano and for fun I love to walk in Central Park and to dance!
Good strategic partners for me have been widow support groups.
I work with widowed women to gain the courage to create a new role for them selves and face the world without pain.
My website is a work in progress!
I would love support in identifying working women who have been widowed who would want to join an 8wk, 30 min lunchtime teleconference ” Getting Through Another Work Day”.
Just love group support!
Thanks
Wow, Audrey!
It sounds like you do incredibly powerful work!
Right now, I’m putting a lot of time & attention on relationships since I want to get married and start a family within the next few years. And I definitely have a fear of outliving my husband (even though I don’t even have a husband yet… isn’t that funny?) It’s comforting to know that there are people like you in the world.
I recommend (if you haven’t done this yet), creating a free report for working women that have been widowed. Then create a simple opt in page for them to get it.
Here’s an example of an opt in page for a free report:
https://prosperitytrainings.com/freereport.html
That way, it gives these women a chance to find you (I think pay-per-click on Google and / or Facebook could be good for this) and get a taste of what you offer before committing to an 8 week program.
Thanks PJ, a great idea! I’ll definitely f/u with that. Also, the series for “niche” was tremendous, thanks so much.
Be well,
Audrey
Hi Audry 🙂
I would love to find out how we can support each other!
1. One idea I have is that my mother is available for a niche interview for you. I think it would be win-win for you to interview her because you would get some information about her interest in you program (my dad passed suddenly 6 months ago) and she generally only self reflects when being asked direct questions, which would be a healing conversation for her.
2. In my budding practiceI offer free weekly healing circles as a health food store, most of my first few clients were widowers and widows, and I never directly advertised to attract them. This was before my dad passed and I think people suffering from the loss of a spouse were just naturally drawn to me…
3. My mother and I a currently attending bereavement groups and may know others willing to be interviewed, etc.
Lets connect please 🙂
Angel Blessings,
Kimeiko Vision
Hi Kimeiko,
First, my deepest sympathies for you and your mom on the loss of your dad. I can’t say ” I know how you feel” as a daughter but I can relate to your mother’s self reflection. This is a very difficult time. I’m glad that both you and she have a bereavement group to be with for support at this most difficult time.
I would be most happy to speak with your mom and to offer a free consultation to her to see how I can help in her process. It’s a long journey.
Where are you located? I’m in NYC and have done most of my work by phone and internet. I can send you my bio but the website is still not where I would like it to be. You can email me at audreypellicano@gmail.com or call me at 914-703-2688. First and foremost is to see if your mom is ready for a confidential one on one. We all have our own journey.
Isn’t synchronicity odd? You attracted people and you could not have foreseen your own journey! You are special!
Yes, we should speak. I’m available this Friday at 3pm EDT or Monday between 10am and 12noon EDT. Please email me or call so we can confirm a mutually convenient date and time to speak.
Till then.
Be well,
Audrey Pellicano
Hi, My name is Edward Fish.
For fun in my spare time I like to socailize, find out what is going on in their lives, and discover what really matters to them.
Good strategic alliances for me are indviduals or groups that work with helping women open themselves up to their sensual/sexual desires/
What I do is hold a safe space for women to explore and discover their sexual and sensual desires and be able to express what they want sexually without guilt or shame so they can experience the love and intimacy they truly desire.
My website is http://www.schoolofsensualdesires.com/
What I’d love support with right now is getting more people to enroll in my teleseminar, 3 Secrets to Being Sensual and Sexual Without Being Hurt By Rejection, this Wednesday Oct 12th at 7pm PST. It is mainly targeted towards single women 35-55.
In the longer term, I’d love support in accountability of me doing the things I need to for my business, such as getting my bi-weekly sensual sex tips out on time and following up with my complimentary coaching sessions.
I like the “School of Sensual Desires” brand! That’s cool!
I think I saw you post an announcement on LifeAsArt, which is a good call.

Hi Edward,
I think we may have met at PJs 2011 Prosperity Summit, do people call you Fish?
Anyway, I’d love to see how we can support eachother, including promoting some of you future teleconferences, I think I may know of a couple of good Stretegic alliances for you.
Angle Blessings,

Hi! My name is Donina. In my spare time I love to read, spend time with close girlfriends and drink wine, sing, workout, go to concerts (Keith Urban was amazing last Saturday), travel, go to the beach and stare at the ocean, and watch good films.
Good strategic alliances for me are business & life coaches, fellow PR & marketing pros, and social media experts. People who have decided to do something with their innate gifts and talents and will help others do the same and succeed.
I am a PR/ publicist, helping people get media placement. I blog and help write or improve copy for websites and marketing materials. I coach on PR strategies, and want to expand into event marketing.
My website is: http://onhighheelz.com
I would love support in SEO writing, coaching techniques and video marketing.
Great to meet everyone!
Hi Donina,
My name is Edward Fish. I’d be interested in exploring a possible strategic alliance with you as I work along the lines of a life coach in the realm of sexuality.
Send me an email to sensualsexualswitch@gmail.com and we’ll discuss more about it.
Hi Donina!
I don’t know if you’ve been to the Rejuvenate Your Practice 2-Day Intensive yet, but it would be a GREAT place for you to network (as well as learn AWESOME stuff). Lots and lots of your ideal clients will be there to learn how to build their businesses:
https://rejuvenate.infusionsoft.com/go/TNCRYP/TNC/
Jill Lublin offers a Crash Course in Publicity – there may be some opportunity for cross promotion there:
http://www.jilllublin.com/
Here’s a resource for coaching techniques:
http://www.businesscoach.com/
I recommend opting in for their free report, which also gives you their weekly One-Minute Coaching tips for free.
As far as video marketing goes, Shahar Boyahan has a mind-blowing program on that subject:
“How to Use Online Videos for Business”
http://www.buzzbooster.com/cmd.php?af=1388713&u=www.chalktalkspot.com/online-videos
I’ve never seen a more unique, comprehensive and “no B.S.” program on video marketing!
Thank you, PJ!! Great resources I will definitely investigate. I love learning!
Hi.. I am Polly Jones and in my spare time, I love to go camping, get away’s to the coast, my 2 daughters, 1 granddaughter, my 2 dogs and I love what I do so give me a few hours inbetween commitments, I am in my craft room creating. Give me a whole day and I am in heaven.
My idea of a good strategic alliance is wedding & event planners, I have found a few wedding planner referral networks and I am going to call some of their members to see how it has worked for them, and form some alliances there if possible.
I make custom eco-friendly favors for weddings and events. I am working now on manufacturing kits that have 10 paper cutouts, embellishments, and easy assembly instructions for the do it yourselfers. I am hoping they will be out by January 2012.
My website is Favoritizm.com
I would love to have support for referals for wedding and event planners. I am wanting someone to give me feedback on what I make to validate I made a respectable favor, and some ideas going forward what I should add to my samples.
Thanks,
Polly
Hi Polly! Good to see you here….hope you had a great birthday yesterday!
I went to a Wedding Faire recently with my sister. Have you ever considered getting a booth at one of those?
If the cost is reasonable, it would give you the opportunity to meet a lot of new brides but more importantly the other VENDORS there (like wedding planners) that cater to your same niche.
Also, you may consider doing a search on the BNI website for “wedding planners” and contacting them:

Hi! My name is Diana Concoff Morgan. For fun in my spare time, I love to go to movies! And well, there’s Fluffy my cat, and then there’s my 9 kids, family, and friends….(no specific order to any of this!)
Good strategic alliances for me are business and life coaches, web designers, social media strategists! These are great alliances for me because I help “40-50 somethings” who are struggling with their internet marketing; they are asking questions like “Where do I start?” or “Can you show me how to do this internet marketing stuff? I offer hands-on coaching and support!
I’d love support with getting the word out about my “Get Your Blog On–WordPress Blog Lab” where in just one day we help you get your blog set up and post a blog, Step-by-Step, From Host to Post.
I would also love referrals to speak!
How do we get in touch with you, I’m sure there are a lot people who would love your services.
Hi Anne,
Thanks for asking…my website is: http://www.wholeheartmarketing.com
Email: diana@wholeheartmarketing.com
Hi, Diana! You have 9 kids?!
I don’t know if you’ve been to the Rejuvenate Your Practice 2-Day Intensive yet, but it would be a GREAT place for you to network (as well as learn AWESOME stuff). Lots and lots of your ideal clients will be there to learn how to build their businesses:
https://rejuvenate.infusionsoft.com/go/TNCRYP/TNC/
Hi PJ…
Yep! 1 I gave birth to and 8 that came into my life through my wonderful husband…Lovely to have all these kids that I didn’t have to give birth to!
WOW! Cool!
I’ve been having a lot of fun with my “instant family” this week since I’m staying with my friends’ kids while they travel.
I think I’m going to take them to P.F. Chang’s tonight since it’s our last night together and they’ve never been there.
I hope to have a kid (or kids) of my own someday soon, especially if they’re as wonderful as these ones! : D
I know you are great with kids!
PJ,
Did you know I worked for Rejuvenate for a year? I staffed many of their programs..worked the back of the room….I learned SO much! In fact, I just re-attended the RYP recently! It was great!
Ha ha! No, I didn’t know that. : D
I’ve been to a bunch of RYPs, and I want to re-attend another one soon.
Michele Scism teaches a class on blogging, but I don’t know if she offers anything like your Blog Lab, so she could potentially be a good referral source for you:
http://www.facebook.com/michele.scism
http://www.facebook.com/DecisiveMinds
Thanks….I’ve taken some classes with her….she is a great resource!
Also, I don’t know if Beth Barany & Cheryl Liquori still do their Breakfast Blogging Club thing but there may be some potential for cross-promotion there.
http://www.facebook.com/BreakfastBloggingClub
Hi Diana!
I’m with PJ-did you say 9 kids…WOW! I like how you answered the question too ” …and one I didn’t have to give birth to.” lol. the universe gave you a bonus, for all your hard work!
I’d love to get my Blog on! I’m excited to hear more about your program…I’m going to check out your website.
Angel Blessings,

Hi my name is Anne Cleveland.
In my spare time I love to sing, dance, paint, brainstorm, write music and just generally create. I also love to read, learn, travel and meet people and hear about what they are up to with their lives. People’s story is so intriguing to me. I am passionate about Waldorf Education and so I incorporate the arts, games and activities that help to connect with the soul into whatever it is I’m doing.
Good strategic alliances for me are heart-based, conscious and creative entrepreneurs. In particular: web-designers, marketing specialist, techies, coaches, healers and educators, as well as people who host events where I can speak about the entrepreneurial journey as a journey of self-discovery and healing.
What I do is help you search soul to uncover those hidden blocks & gremlins, access the clarity you need to get into action, and create a life plan and a schedule that reflects your purpose, values, dreams and vision.
My new website is “under construction” but you can find me at http://www.lifebalanceforteachers.com
What I’d love support with is referrals for my coaching practice and places to speak including radio, television, tele-classes, tele-summits and networking events.
You’re such a rock star, Anne! It’s been really fun co-creating this event with you. : D
As far as speaking gigs go, I recommend checking out (if you haven’t yet) the Client Attraction
Mastermind call we did on “How to Get More Speaking Gigs.”
Love your current website Anne!
Hello, My name is Gary Olsen
For fun in my spare time, I like to hike, soak in hot springs and hang out with my daughter.
Good strategic alliances for me are people who support parents. Those who would want to host me to speak about the importance of self-care for parents going through separation or divorce.
What I do is support children by supporting their parent experiencing anger, resentment, and paralyzing fear. I help the parent to build cooperative parenting, and hope for the future so they can rest deeply.
My website is rockingthebody.com
What I’d love support with is struggling with the 90 day commitment. Joint Venturing to build my list.
Yay, hot springs! Gary, next time you’re in Japan, I highly recommend that you check out Mikazuki Onsen:

You will love it!
People I know that work with parents that could possibly be good strategic alliances for you are:
Kathy Whitham:
http://www.parentingbeyondwords.com/
Lorraine Pursell:
http://www.lorrainepursell.com/
Sent you a Facebook friend request. : D
1. My name is Ryan Koblasa.
2. For fun in my spare time, I like go see live music, watch movies, read, exercise, compute, socialize, collect antiques and much more.
3. Good strategic alliances for me are ones in which you are in tune with the other person(s).
Where both parties can come together and reach common grounds to make for a better experience.
4. What I do is build websites in the IM niche and working mainly to build membership sites for recurring income. I have spent a good deal of time just learning and getting overwhelmed, but I have finally gotten to the point that I will launch my first product this week on the Warrior Forum.
5. My website is http://RyanKMarketing.com, http://jambandmusicfan.com, http://imt-internetmarketingtools.com, any many more.
6. What I’d love support with is finding a true mission with my online strategies. I am being pulled left and right with all the gimmicks and new trendy marketing shiney objects that I just get stuck and can’t really determine exactly what it is that I am really doing online.
I thank you for the great series and look forward to hearing more.
Ryan K
Did you get a chance to listen to the “7 Steps to Creating Your Client Attraction Blueprint” interview that I did for the Total Niche Clarity Virtual Symposium?
That system helps a LOT in integrating all of the gazillion internet marketing ideas you have.
Still milling through all the great content you provided us…
I have plenty of stuff going on right now online, but still it is all over the place and not lazer focused as I would like it to. But I am starting to see a trend to what I am offering and am getting a glimps of what I think my mission is.
The funny thing is, that I am being lead towards teaching something that I have not been so great at in my own life. Possibly the chance to shine where I have floundered…?
Cool~
Well, we’ve explored that very theme throughout this event.
Suzanne Falter-Barnes shared about building your business around your Core Wound.
She said, “Everyone says “who am I to do this work?”
If you’ve struggled with this challenge, you can empathize with your niche (and probably write GREAT marketing copy because you know what it’s like for them!)
As long as you have something of value to share with them, you’re good to go!
In fact, sometimes just “being in the conversation” with them is valuable enough. I invested in a Woman’s Leadership retreat series with a woman who was really curious about what it meant to lead like a woman. She had a lot of male energy, and even though she didn’t have the answers, it was valuable to explore that theme together.
Thanks sister! I will take it all as good advise and go from there. Sure do appreciate what you have done here and look forward to seeing more of you in the future.
I will let you know when I write my spiritual books.
Much Love!
Ryan K
Are you marketing to internet marketers?
Or teaching non-internet marketers how to do more marketing online?
Both! Right now mainly online and will do more offline in the near future.
Your life will be easier if you choose one to market to.
Either way, you will stand out by getting specific, with the group, with the problem, with the theme, or all of the above.
Example:
Teaching chiropractors how to market themselves online
Teaching internet marketers how to make money selling solo ads
Looking at doing both. Right now online and will work towards offline soon.
Hello. My name is Carolyn CJ Jones.
For fun in my spare time, I like to design and build storage spaces, or varnish teak trim on boats. .
Good strategic alliances for me are with drug and alcohol rehab places, as well as organizations associated with mental wellness, such as a meditation retreat, or wellness spa.
What I do is speak about my story of healing and the book I wrote and photographed that I published, titled “Opening the Gates of the Heart: A Journey of Healing.”
My website is http://www.gatelady.com.
What I’d love support with is what you provided… niche clarification. Above and beyond that, I’d love to be introduced to radio and TV hosts to become a guest on their show.
I am unable to join you tomorrow until about 1:30, so I look forward to the connection. Thank you for conducting the symposium. It was fabulous and most helpful!
Thanks, Carolyn!
I like your blog post on “How to Live in the Moment”
http://gatesoftheheart.com/blog/
To support you even more with niche clarification, I recommend a specific group of people to focus your marketing to with a specific problem. You’ve got the broad brush strokes in terms of having “healing” as your topic. You’ll attract more radio & TV interviews (as well as clients) when you focus on specific healing. For example, there’s healing your heart after a painful break up. There’s healing your body from cancer (or a gazillion other problems). What did you personally heal specifically? That would probably be a great “gateway problem” to solve for people.
Hi Carolyn,
I’d be happy to support you with your niche clarification. I’ve helped others clarify what they’ve been trying to communicate and be able to transform what they’ve been using into something clear, concise, and powerful.
Call me at 530-520-5742 and I’d be happy to setup a time with you to talk about your niche.
My name is PJ Van Hulle.
For fun in my spare time, I like dancing, rollerblading, reading, fencing, hiking, scrapbooking and seeking out new adventures. I also love traveling. Some of my favorite places to visit are Spain, Japan, & Hawaii. Some places I haven’t been yet that I’d like to explore are Australia, Ireland, and Argentina.
Good strategic alliances for me are speakers and coaches that teach about business & / or marketing skills, especially if they have an e-mail list that they regularly communicate with.
Also, people that host their own networking events that are always looking for great speakers.
What I do is work with speakers and coaches who love what they do but get frustrated with the marketing part.
My website is: https://www.prosperitytrainings.com
What I’d love support with is finding someone that can TRANSCRIBE the audio recordings of my teleclasses.
Ooh… I forgot to mention KARAOKE! And Biodanza! And SNUGGLING!
And recently I’ve discovered that I love playing Just Dance on the Wii. : D
I’m hosting an online event called List-a-Palooza (How to add 10,000 people to your list in 90 days or less) next year, and I would love referrals for great speakers who:
* Give great content on list-building strategies (especially if they can drill deep in one specific area, like how to build your list through ad words / article submission sites / teleclasses, etc.)
* Have 10,000+ people on their list
