Ready to take the NEXT BIG LEAP in your business?

YOUR NEXT BIG LEAP - Luxury Business Boot Camp Adelaide 19 to 21 June 2009
Are you a women in business, over loaded soloprenuer, budding infoprenuer, coach, natural therapist, up and coming presenter or workshop leader - in fact anyone with a heart based business.................

Do you have a message inside that is screaming to get out?

Are you ready to take YOUR NEXT BIG LEAP?

Is it time for you and/or your business to take a step up? Are you feeling anxious and nervous about what you need to do next?

• You may be ready to launch your first business
• Perhaps you have been in business for a while now and are ready to take it to the next level
• Maybe you are totally confused and have no idea what your next step actually is!
But you do know for certain that you are ready to take that next big leap that will get you and your business happy and humming – whatever that is for you.
How can we help you?

We are Samantha Richardson of Evolution Events and Margaret Gill of Abundant Private Practices and we know all about THE BIG LEAP.

In fact we have leaped many times and believe we are fully qualified deep end specialists.

In fact we are card carrying members of the “Wish We Had Put Water in the Pool First Before We Leapt” Club of Small Business Learning.

We have created a program for gutsy women in small business called YOUR NEXT BIG LEAP Luxury Business Boot Camp because we know all you need is the right support.

The Boot Camp is based around the truth that we have all taken a leap into an empty pool at least once in our life and we like to hear the whole truth warts and all. We want to know EVERYTHING not just the smoke and mirrors.

We are prepared to tell it like it is and do whatever it takes to help you make your business work.
“it doesn’t have to be perfect to be perfect”

We also know women in business are busy multi taskers and are generally time poor and seek quick, easy answers to their complex problems. So our training philosophy is fast and furious and we encourage you to understand that “it doesn’t have to be perfect to be perfect” – you just have to be willing to have a go.
We fully understand a woman's chances of success are enhanced when you have:
• A judgement free zone • The right knowledge• Solid support• Inspiration• Confidence to succeed
We deliver all this and more in a safe, nurturing BS free environment.

We are committed to helping women in heart based businesses harness their passion and take their next big leap.

“Thank you so much for a fantastic Boot camp this weekend. I have ordered Sam’s Event In A Box and signed up for Margaret's 90 Day Challenge. I am on my way!

I felt so comfortable in Sam’s and Margaret's space. Two amazing ladies full of intelligence and heart. I'm really excited about the path I am heading down and love that I have now connected with you both.”
By Suzie Crawford from Amina Academy


You Are Ready to Leap?
Three things start to happen when you are ready for your next big leap
Your heart starts to dominate your thoughts
Your head goes ballistic with reasons why you can’t do it
Eventually your heart wins!
People who lead from the heart occasionally get de-railed due to fear, lack of confidence and lack of knowledge but eventually one of two things happen. They either bury the message and live a miserable life or they listen to their heart and get on with it.

You have read this far so you must be a "get on with it kind of gal" so keep reading to find out how we can help you.

This event is for anyone whose heart is saying jump and even though you are scared witless, you secretly want to make a big leap and will do what it takes to make it happen.

But if you have had anything to do with heart based thoughts you know they can be misleading and sometimes difficult to unravel and implement.

We know that because we have come through the school of hard knocks when it comes to setting up heart based businesses.

How can we help you?

Anyone who has started a journey in a heart based business knows the pull of the heart and the head. Your heart will always land you in the right place........... EVENTUALLY

"anything heart based is a journey"

The problem is that when you start the journey you don’t know what you don’t know.

Often people think (the head part) they know what they are creating when they start out…..THEN they get a certain distance down the track only to realise they either need to find a new track or repair the track they are already on (the journey = the heart part).

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."Oscar Wilde

We help you find clarity in your business and show you how to craft your message to the world, simply by being yourself.

We are here to show you the things you don’t know and to give you the knowledge and tools to get up to the next level with ease and elegance.

YOUR NEXT BIG LEAP Luxury Business Boot Camp will help you find the right knowledge to get you where you want to be.

But for those of you who have already tried, you will know that getting over yourself is the hardest part of the equation.

Don't lose your blouse trying

Too many women in heart based businesses have been indoctrinated with the thinking “create it and they will come”. Sadly this is not the case, and many have lost their blouse due to this common mistruth. People come and buy when they have a compelling reason to do so – then they will come!

1. We show you how to create and share your compelling reason

The other blouse buster is ”follow your dream and the world will conspire to help you”. To a certain degree there is truth in this statement but you have to be taking the right actions for the universe to be able to help you.

2. We show you the right actions

The other thing that happens is that people in heart based businesses grow personally as their business grows. What this does is creates an owner with a message that is bigger than your first overdraft PLUS a product or service that also needs to get out to the world.

3. We show you how to get your message out to the world and beyond

The question then becomes – how to do all of this AND RUN THE BUSINESS?
The answer is: set aside a weekend with us and go home with the answers, most of the hard work done and the inspiration you need to make it happen.

You don’t have to do it alone

YOUR NEXT BIG LEAP Luxury Business Boot Camp will be one of many events that will help you get where you want to go. Hang on you say – isn’t there meant to be one leap and its all happy ever after.

Sadly not the case in a heart based business.

As the owner grows the message grows and so many levels of leaping occur with each stage of growth.

YOUR NEXT BIG LEAP Luxury Business Boot Camp is about addressing all the leaps you need to take to get you up to the next level.

We have created a system called the Piccolo Process to make this easy for you to understand and implement.
There are seven key learning points in our Piccolo Process:
Presenting and marketing your message to bigger and wider audiences
Image and branding confidence for you and your product
Creatingand communicating clear, passionate and authentic messages
Converting clutter into clarity
Operating on different communication and technology platforms
Launching your message using PR and Media
Opportunities to Make More Money from Your Message
We have identified these seven keys not only as being seven key learning principles but they are also the seven things that create the most discomfort for people when they try to move forward and lets face it – discomfort creates change.

By understanding and learning to embrace discomfort you encourage positive change.
But where do you start?

We know how hard it is to be objective when you are the bsuiness. It's even harder still to get any level of clarity around your business and message.

We aren’t going to tell you its easy because we are determined to offer transparent marketing messages. But creating positive change is do-able with the right support and knowledge by indentifying what stage you need next in the Piccolo Process

We have many different events to help you.

All our events are designed to give you the confidence, clarity and knowledge to take YOUR NEXT BIG LEAP but our system allows you to keep moving in a gradual easy format. You can implement the learning from one event, then take the next leap to the next level at the next event.

The first event you must attend is:
