Coaching

James Dillehay, Artisan Author

Need help figuring out how to turn the next big thing (no one else has thought of) into a business? Got lots of ideas but unsure where to start?

I know the feeling and understand the challenges of starting a business. Of course, you want to make money. But you also want your business to support your values and lifestyle.

Your dream is big and it’s going to need love and care to grow. One of the biggest hurdles going in: you don’t know what you don’t know.

Another stumbling block: you go looking for help with YOUR dream and everyone’s pitching boilerplate how-to ideas that will work for any business. That’s like prescribing the same medicine for everyone who’s got an illness.

Every marketing idea doesn’t work for every business or every person. A unique dream deserves a unique plan.

I can help you create and make use of your own personalized marketing plan. And I can help you identify potential markets and spin-off opportunities you may not yet have considered.

Let me help you with:

Creating marketing plans
Pricing for maximum profits
Mastering SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Selling retail, wholesale and working with distributors
Finding overlooked markets
Opening your own retail store
Selling online at Etsy, Ebay, Amazon, Facebook, your website
Raising money to start or grow
Developing new products
Developing spin-off products

Getting publicity
Publishing books, ebooks, magazines
Becoming an expert in your field
Learning about consumer trends

You may be hesitant to hire a coach. Early in my ventures, I wanted to do everything myself. And there’s something to be said for feeling like you’ve done it all. That DIY stubbornness also cost me money and time.

I could have saved so much if I had just worked with a coach who had been where I wanted to go. What I really needed was someone who could tell me where the pitfalls and sweet spots lay hidden down the road. Eventually, I learned. My business grew so much faster after working with a coach in my field. It’s way more profitable to find out early on what you don’t know from someone who’s been there than figuring it out the hard way.

So tell me about you when you are ready to make something happen with that creative vision of yours. Contact me to learn if we should work together.

Still tooting my horn a bit, but hey, you want to know if I really can help YOU so please know that in addition to starting several businesses over the years, I’m co-author of three books in the international best-selling marketing series, Guerrilla MarketingGuerrilla Multilevel Marketing, Guerrilla Marketing on the Front Lines and The Best of Guerrilla Marketing.

Will working with me help you achieve your goals? Read what real people say…..
