The Feet to the Fire Group
This one's for you if you know what you need to do to market your business but just can't seem to stay on track. In other words, you need someone to be accountable to for your marketing.

This group will keep your feet to the fire.

Each month you will set a goal for yourself. During our monthly conference call, we'll discuss any issues or questions you have about reaching that goal. You'll leave the call with a To Do list of reasonable tasks to complete within the month.

A month later, we'll get back on the call and each participant will have approximately 15 minutes of personal attention to talk about how it went and to get feedback, ideas, suggestions and anything else the group can provide. You also get up to 45 minutes of learning with (and from) your colleagues and they talk about their goals and the challenges and successes of the process. This is really one of the best ways to learn.

The group is usually made up of 2-3 other solopreneurs (ideally the same participants from month to month, for consistency) who are in similar or related industries.

These "meetings" are virtual but happen in real time (time to be determined according to the schedules of participants) and take place monthly during a 45-60 minute conference call (all you need is a phone).

As an additional perk, lots of great networking happens as a result of these conversations so that participants sometimes end up working together on projects or making referrals to each other.

The bottom line
The fee is $75 per one-hour session or $200 for 3 months.

Space is limited to 4 participants.

2008 groups begin week of Mar. 9, April 14, May 12, and week of June 9 .

Thanks for all your advice these last couple of months! It was really helpful to get permission from someone other than myself to set limits with clients. The 'scope creep' advice helped immensely, and it felt so good to say, "This is beyond the scope" and  be paid for the extra work.
