BookmarkI'm fully engaged in my ebook launch campaign now. But have room for more partners if you have ideas or are personally interested yourself. If you call, let me know when you will so I can make sure to be here.
Best to you, Corrina

Hi Sarah,
Great advice! I'm realizing that's actually what I need to do. Get really, really focused and focus on my core strengths. It is a little scary to let some possible clients go, but I do know that in the end it will serve me. I've begun to think that I could narrow my target market to social and environmental entreprenuers and businesses, both to coach them and to provide them the consulting services that they wouldn't have staff to do since they are not like a big corporation that have sustainability officers on staff. Anyone think of any leads or resources to think further about this?

Judy,
I couldn't agree more. Much to my surprise, the non-profit world is seriously concerned about marketing and visibility. It's actually why I made the switch, because I felt like some of the marketing/fundraising stuff that was going on where I worked watered down the mission. At least working for myself, it's obvious that you have to make $$ at what you're doing but I can set limits more and really be in charge of the what I'm willing compromise to see good work get done and really change the world.
How are you carrying your experience from World Vision to your business now? I also worked for an international development organization so I'm very familiar with the issues.
Thanks, for the welcome!

Posted Feb 20, 2008 What Exactly Are You Selling? by Ilise Benun
What would any of you suggest for setting prices for someone like myself who's just getting started? I am pretty clear about my coaching rates, because the peers in my industry are quite transparent about that and I've gotten a lot of good advice there.
But on the consulting side of things, I'm pretty foggy about where to begin. I have an idea of what I'm worth per hour. But I love the idea of charging by the project/service. How would you prioritize these services in terms of most and least valuable: research/analysis, offering advice and developing programs (i.e., strategic planning, developing framework, etc.). Any thoughts on to how to think about this? Especially from the packaging stand point?

I love it! Thanks, ELS. These I can do. In fact, it's quite the same as working in the non-profit world, always know who your constituency is, be true to your values and carry them out in your mission and build honet relationships.
How are you fearlessly honest in your business?
