Hi,

Here is a new class from a wonderful trainer.

Joel

Getting Clients with Ease—The Less Hassle Approach to Finding the Right Clients

with Kevin Creedon

Do you have enough clients?

You've trained and practiced and you're confident of your skills, but for some reason it's been difficult to find clients. Maybe you've read a few books and tried what they recommended only to discover that it really didn't work. Maybe you've done a couple of intros or offered a few free sessions to new clients but you're still not able to pay the bills. This workshop is for everyone who sees clients one-on-one and would like to build a reliable client base, especially if your practice is not well-known or is considered alternative.

Are you afraid that filling your practice will eat up all your time?

It certainly can if you don't approach it right way. Back in the early 1990's, Kevin tried everything the books said and found that most of the recommendations were too much work, too much money and took up way too much time—time that he would rather use to see clients. In a nutshell, if a marketing strategy takes a lot time, money, or effort, it will not work for anyone that sees clients on a one-on-one basis.

Are you worried it'll take a lot of discipline?

Discipline is not the answer. Think of discipline like salt: just a little can make any recipe turn out just right, but just a tad too much and even your favorite recipes become inedible.

What if "marketing" just isn't you?

Any marketing strategy that does not fit your personality will not work. Fortunately, there's more than one way to fill your practice—and finding your own best methods isn't that hard. What is hard is wasting your time and effort on things that won't work, or forcing yourself to do something again and again that doesn't fit "you".

SO LEARN WHAT REALLY WORKS!

In just two afternoons, you'll learn the cornerstones to a thriving practice and how to set them up so that they will work for you as an individual.
Saturday and Sunday, November 7th and 8th
From 1:00 to 5:00
44 East 32nd Street and the 11th floor
$180

“Kevin offers so much intellectual and creative information, I first thought it would be overwhelming. But he was so sensitive to each individual’s style of learning that in no time I knew just how I could present the Method well in my own way.”— Diane Deneroff, Feldenkrais Practitioner

Kevin Creedon is a Feldenkrais Practitioner® and an NLP Trainer with a private practice in New York. Over the last 18 years, Kevin has learned a great deal about creating and surviving a thriving practice (in large part from mistakes that were expensive, discouraging or both). This is the workshop he wished was available when he was first starting out.

TO REGISTER ONLINE: Go to Ericksonian.com.

If you have questions about the workshop, please call Kevin directly at 212-727-2458, or email Kevin at Kevin@KevinCreedon.net.

I hope to see you there.

Hi Fellow Seekers,

Get Rid of Your Social Anxiety with Peter Borden & Picara Vassallo (of Charmistry.com), Tues, Oct. 27th, 7-9PM

We've all experienced it at one time or another, that feeling in our body that makes us hesitate, stop, feel things we don’t want to feel. Maybe approach anxiety killed your chance encounter with an attractive stranger. Maybe your nervousness and anxiety prevented you from closing a sale. Maybe it destroyed your last job interview, or left you unable to make that kiss happen, even when you knew both of you wanted it. Well, let all that worry and tension go. It’s time to learn to a different approach

You weren’t taught how to abolish your anxiety...at least, not until now. On Wed, Oct 21st, 2009, Peter and Picara of Charmistry (www.charmistry.com) will be teaching a number of simple, easy, and effective techniques to help you abolish your anxiety and experience a degree of social freedom you've always longed for.

During this presentation, you'll learn:

* How anxiety works, and what to do about it.
* A bunch of simple techniques anyone can implement.
* The ultimate technique (super secret, and once you internalize this,
you'll feel like you can do anything.)
* Common mistakes people make when dealing with anxiety, and
how to avoid doing what others are doing wrong.
* While we’ll focus on social anxiety many of these techniques are applicable in any situation.
* We'll also have plenty of time for doing some one-on-one work, and
to answer all your questions.

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up already. We're only doing this once -- we’ve invited a few friends who share this problem so you’ll be in good company. Get access while you still can. Join us and get rid of anxiety NOW..

Come and Enjoy.

Hi,
I want you to know about Tantra Master, Charles Muir's October visit to NYC. He is offering several free introductions to his acclaimed Beginners Weekend Seminar entitled, Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving. Don’t miss out the main event October 23-25, 2009.

It is a wonderful weekend course, one of my favorite courses of the year. I've done it twice now, and each time it was loads of fun. Charles Muir is a terrific instructor, wonderful, funny, engaging and incredibly supportive. A great way to explore your sensuality, and you keep your clothes the whole time. There is some interesting optional homework. <g>

As a practitioner of NLP & other modalities, I find Tantra a wonderful and useful way of looking at the world, and a model that can create healing and transformation in a loving and supportive way. I know you will be well satisfied with his teachings.

Charles Muir is considered the originator and Pioneer of the Modern Tantra Movement in the United States. In 1980, he originated Sacred Spot Massage, and many other experiential exercises, which have become the cornerstones in the curriculum of most Tantra educators.

Please contact Tully, the event coordinator for more details, registration, and any questions you have. 888-682-6872 x106, newyork@sourcetantra.com. Read more at www.sourcetantra.com. Don’t forget to tell them Joel sent you!

I hope you all come and enjoy this unexpected but fun turn of events, and learn, explore, and delight in something new.

Hi Everyone,

I recently got a fascinating offer from the Open Center. The details are below.

We can get VIP seating (upfront) if we have more then 5 people register using the code: Holistic Paths - Joel Elfman.

In addition, we can get discounts for various speakers ranging from 15-20% if at least 5-10 members pay as a group. I have some concerns about organization and logistics for these events, plus a huge number of other commitments, so I have declined to do this personally.

If someone would like to coordinate collecting monies, names, handling refunds, organizing everyone interested in the various speakers, we can post to the message board, and put your name in the event announcements. Pick an individual event or more then one to organize.

Please contact me, if you are interested in organizing attendance at one of the Open Centers events.

Warm Regards,

Joel
