Enrollment for the next Cohort is NOW OPEN!
You likely went into business for yourself because you recognize you're really good at something.
Or believe you have a better way to do something that will impact people's lives.
Or perhaps you got tired of feeling like your life wasn't your own in a traditional job and you wanted to do something more meaningful.
The problem is business owners unknowingly find themselves in The Rule of Thirds Trap-- spending at least one-third of their time running their business, one-third of their time marketing, and less than one-third actually doing what they went into business to do. How frustrating is that?
Conventional advice has also been to work ON your business more than IN your business. That's good advice to a point but better advice is to spend as much time as possible doing what you're great at!
When you do more of what you're great at:
-
You create exponential growth for your business or get the business you have under control
-
You blow away your clients and customers increasing retention and referrals
-
You wear fewer hats so you're not pulled in as many directions
-
You feel more fulfilled than ever before
How is this accomplished?
Consistency Clarity Clients
-
Learn the Six-Step Hug Marketing System and Impact-Based Business Model that will make time spent working on your business efficient and consistent.
-
Gain clarity on your core message that when translated into a clear and Marketable Brand Message, provides confidence, direction, and lights your business on fire.
-
Implement the Customer Emotional Journey to attract ideal clients, repel the rest, and work only with your most profitable and easy-to-work-with clients.
This all adds up to one BIG win! You get to........
Do more of what you're great at!
I’m Jeffrey Shaw, Founder of Self-Employed Business Institute. If you're like almost all of our students, you are really good at what you do but are in an industry where there's little or no training on how to make money at what you do. You've probably been out there for a few years trying to figure it out on your own with some success but also some frustration because you know you could be doing better. And you want to get to making the difference you want to make sooner than later and don't want to wait 5-10 years to figure it all out.
I get it. I charted my own course, having never had a traditional job or received a paycheck, becoming a renowned portrait photographer, a speaker, a small business coach, a podcast host, and an author.
Along the way, I’ve met, interviewed, and coached an incredibly diverse array of self-employed business owners whose talent and vision take my breath away.
But I’ve also encountered something that absolutely drives me crazy:
Far too many people think being self-employed
means figuring it all out on your own.
The Self-Employed Business Institute is turning that model upside down.
Or rightside up -- because this is an idea whose time has come. To finally have access to high-level business education specifically for self-employed business owners.
The program is designed for real results and individualized transformation. What is teachable is taught in the live online Training Calls. What needs to be coached out of you to bring forward your full potential is done with all the one-to-one coaching and support.
This is not cookie-cutter. Not one-size fits all. You will learn a proven framework developed from decades of experience that is exactly what self-employed business owners need.
You will learn all the ways conventional business ideas need to be turned upside-down to work for you. Confirming that the "tried and true" is just tired.
You will work with a coach that can see in you what you can't see in yourself. Who is committed to your actual business and personal transformation.
SEBI as we call it, takes "I've got your back" to a whole new level because it's what you deserve!
Get ready for a Business Training and Personal Coaching program, unlike anything you've ever imagined!
Here’s how it works:
The Self-Employed Business Institute offers a proven blend of group energy and support with individualized one-to-one coaching over a five-month learning and implementation experience that includes:
-
Two 90-minute live virtual classes per month – this is where you’ll receive the training that will take your self-employed business strategy to the next level, plus some highly specific topics and techniques that no one ever thinks to cover.
-
One 30-minute 1:1 coaching call per month – this is where you get a chance to ask specific questions and get customized advice to boost your ease, speed, and success in implementing what you’ve learned.
-
Two optional 60-minute live open coaching calls per month – this is where we take a coaching break together to explore a topic you’re working to implement, share successes, and brainstorm solutions.
-
One optional guest speaker or workshop per month – this is where we tap into the wisdom, creativity, and experience of some of the business world’s brightest luminaries for inspiration and practical advice to elevate and streamline your self-employed experience.
-
A supportive online community – this is where you get the camaraderie and creative conversation so often missing from the self-employed picture, and so critical to inspired growth. Being self-employed can be lonely!
-
Forever access to a dedicated online portal – this is where you get unlimited, lifetime access to all of our recordings and resources so that, whatever comes up in your business, you can always draw on the wisdom and support of the Institute and your community.
-
A comprehensive workbook – this is where, in one easy download at the beginning of the course, you get access to tools to work through the class material, brainstorm on paper or keypad, and develop your plans for bringing the lessons learned to life in your business.
Cohorts begin every other month so you're never far away from beginning your journey. Apply anytime.
