Behind The Red Velvet Rope With Peter Thomson

If you are ready to stop swapping time for money and want to find a better way to leverage that most precious of resources, then I know you will be interested in the latest idea from one of my favourite mentors...

Peter Thomson.

Peter has started a new venture called "Behind The Red Velvet Curtain" as he seeks to teach people how to develop and profit from information products.

How To Create Your Own Information Products

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog Four Ways To Become A Coach and I explained that it is much easier to attract clients if you create your own information product. You move from being a commodity to the only unique source of that particular advice.

Peter Thomson Joins iLearning Global

My blog was designed to bring you the ideas and news of a small number of business experts who I consider to be the best.

One of those experts is Peter Thomson.

So when I logged in this morning to iLearning Global I was delighted to see Peter's name on the list of the video presenters. I hadn't noticed it before.

Dealing With Emotional People

In my June edition of the Achievers Edge (Peter Thomson's monthly audio newsletter) was another very interesting feature from Nancy Slessenger about how to deal better with emotional people. I have written before about Nancy as an expert in how to deal with difficult people.

Nancy told two stories about people who have a strong connection to their emotions and both resonated with me. Some people think that coaches are very touchy-feely and while some are, I'm not. I am much more task focused and it seems that where problems start.

Overcoming Information Overload

Since I came back from holiday, I have been suffering from information overload. This has been a problem that has crept up on me through my developing interest in Internet marketing and information marketing.

I receive so many emails offering free reports, teleseminars, webinars, downloadable recordings and videos that it would have been very easy to avoid doing any productive work at all. What was manageable on a daily basis became overwhelming in a ten day batch.

Selling Pain Relief Or The Promise Of Gain

Today I want to look at how "selling pain relief" can be used to persuade customers to buy based on the idea that people are more motivated to solve a painful problem than to seek pleasurable gains.

The Background - Away Motivation Is Moving Away From Pain

I had lunch with business growth expert Peter Thomson earlier this week and to help prepare for my meeting I listened to two of the modules from his excellent Accelerated Business Growth System.

Are You Part Of The Cargo Or Crew?

This is a pretty blunt question to ask but it does make you think.

Dealing With Difficult People

I was listening to a very interesting interview between Peter Thomson and Nancy Slessenger which explains how to deal with difficult people. The interview is part of Peter's Achievers Edge program.

Nancy Slessenger is founder of Vinehouse and an expert in helping you to manage your difficult people more effectively.

I watch my traffic that comes to the Business Coaching Blog carefully and one of the questions that people are asking is "How do I start a coaching business?" or "How do I make my coaching business more profitable?"
