Have you been self-employed 3 years or less and still find yourself:

• Constantly struggling to get clients and keep them?

• Worried about how you are going to pay the bills each month?

• Exhausted by the work you are putting into your business and still not reaping the financial rewards you crave?

• Looking for ways to spend more time doing what you love and less on what drains you?

• Having trouble defining your ideal client and the vision for your business?

Or maybe you’ve been self-employed over 3 years, but still have business building gaps to fill to make your "perfect business" as successful as you know it can really be?

Then The Career Coaching Club™ Is Designed Especially For YOU!

My name is Meg Montford, Executive Career Coach and Career Marketing Strategist. I’ve been a self-employed, practicing Career Coach since 1999, and I am going to show you how I went from broke to booming … and the secrets you need to know to get there, too … fast!

I Cashed In My Entire Retirement Account to Start My Career Coaching Business

(And Spent the Next Several Years Getting It Back)

For the first time anywhere, I am going public with my personal story for you to see that I have "been there, done that," and you can do it too.

In 1999, after 6 months of researching possible solopreneur occupations in the career services field, I quit my full time job to begin my own career services business. That's right - I flat out quit. I did NOT start my business part time while continuing to work another full time (or part time) job. I knew that this was an all-or-nothing career move for me, and that if I didn't commit to it totally, I would fail. (Maybe not the best route for everyone, but it was right for me.)

Why did I take such a huge risk? I BELIEVED IN MYSELF! I knew that I had what it takes — the smarts, the drive, the desire — to build and grow my own business. Note: I said "grow my own business," not “deliver career services.” I knew that to be successful, I first had to succeed as a business person, not just be a good career coach. (Did you know that the number one reason that coaches fail is because they don't recognize this critical fact?)

Okay, so I spent my retirement savings. I admit it was a risky move. But I've never regretted it for a minute, even though I had to go without health insurance coverage for 5 years (a very common challenge for solopreneurs in the U.S., but don't worry, we'll tackle this issue, too, in the Career Coaching Club™). I also had to take out a hefty loan for my son's college education during this same time period.

Yes, I'm a risk taker, but I've learned that most of life is a risk. When you feel passionate about your goal, risk just gets factored into the mix.

However, eventually I realized that money was really the least of my worries. My biggest problem was having only a faint idea of what I wanted my "perfect business" to look like. For the first few years, I had no real business vision and worse yet, I didn't realize how critical that was.

Next, like many of you, I signed up for teleclasses and enrolled in training programs, and everything else that came down the pike. However, I felt that navigating the maze of advice from others who had "made it big" was confusing, overwhelming, and quite frankly, financially impossible. Plus, I still didn’t know what my business was about!

Coach training itself was a big investment. (I graduated from 2 different coaching schools.) How could I also invest in pricey marketing training and elaborate tools when I could barely pay my basic business expenses?

Can you relate?

What I Needed Was Paying Clients ...
Not More Advice on How to Get Them!

Don't get me wrong — I loved what I was doing (and I still do!) — but I felt that I was "making it up as I went along." That is, I lacked the structure, guidance, and a career success plan to follow. And, despite the overflowing pool of people I knew who would be eager to take my money, I wasn't sure where to find the assistance that I really needed build my business the right way.

Still, I was determined to figure it all out and make my career services business work.

And it did!

Today I enjoy a robust and rewarding career coaching practice that keeps growing bigger and better every year!

Today I have opportunities and choices — I can qualify clients according to my coaching niche, and not just take whoever wants to hire me.

Today the media regularly contacts me for interviews — and I often get quoted as an expert in the career services field!

Today I take vacations and know that my "perfect business" will be waiting for me when I return.

Today my "perfect business" is a dream come true!

And I am living the lifestyle of my dreams!

Give Me 30 Days and I Will Let You In on the Secret That Changed the Way I Did Business… And Get You On Your Way to Living the Lifestyle of YOUR Dreams

I talk to a lot of career coaches and other career services professionals — and I have mentored many over the years — and the number one question new solopreneurs come to me with is this:

How can I spend more time doing what I love (working with clients and enjoying the freedom of being an entrepreneur) and less time struggling to keep my business going?

The struggle and uncertainty that many new, and even seasoned, careers professionals face is enough to drive them away — even push them back into the corporate work scene from where they so desperately wanted to escape.

But I am going to help change that. You see, I have a proven system that will skyrocket your business, put cash in your hands and give you the freedom and lifestyle you deserve.

How do I know this? Because I have done it — I've created my own perfect business and over the years have helped countless others do it, too.

"Meg takes a pragmatic, yet sensitive, coach approach to my marketing needs. Often, I bring her fragmented ideas and she helps me pull them together.

I am getting ready to rock the world!" - Susan Brambilla, Career Coach, Switzerland

“Be prepared to change the way you think about marketing forever. The (marketing course) taught me the latest marketing techniques in ways that can be immediately implemented. The support of Meg Montford and fellow students during the teleconferences kept me on track. The knowledge and techniques I learned made an immediate impact to my (career) coaching business and will continue to be felt for years. With Meg’s help, I was able to identify my niche and develop short-term and long-term marketing plans. Before this course was over, media in my target market were calling me to promote my products and business. Thank you, Meg, for putting me on the road to success!” Julie Stroud, Career Coach and Resume Writer, Dream Plans Inc., IL, USA

"Meg is one of the best teleclass facilitators I have experienced. Her tone of voice and expression are warm and welcoming. She provides the right balance of content and discussion, assuring that everyone has an opportunity to be heard and acknowledged for their contributions.

Just Follow 5 Rules for Business Success and Become Twice the Career Coach/Counselor/Consultant in Half the Time

I started out in my business doing a thousand things at once. I ordered all the books, took all the teleclasses, and implemented every strategy people threw at me.

And while I wouldn't say it was time wasted (after all, if there was no lesson to learn I wouldn't be here now), I would rather save you from making the same mistakes I made and wasting the time I lost.

Which is why when you join the Career Coaching Club™, I am going to reveal the 5 simple rules I followed that eventually turned my business around and have since brought me the freedom, clients, opportunities, and income that I want. There's no reason why you can't have it all, too.

Here's a sneak peak at my 5 rules:

#1 Show your face and make it memorable

#2 Share your knowledge and be unique

#3 Diagnose, map, and nurture your network

#4 Create and manage a web presence that sells

#5 Hire a mentor and surround yourself with big thinkers

Okay, Now I Hear You Grumbling:
“But I Can’t Write” or “I Hate Public Speaking”

That's OK. Chances are some of the hairs on the back of your neck stood up when you read at least one of my rules. Believe me, many moons ago when someone told me I needed to give presentations, I laughed in their face! Just see me now!

But there are many ways to achieve a goal, and it is no different here. There are countless ways for you to infuse your unique brand into the marketplace while still following my success formula, and the right path will become clear for you with a little help from me.

When you join the Career Coaching Club™, we will embark on a journey that takes you as far as you want to go. We'll explore what works — as well as what doesn't — to grow your career services business fast, effectively, and with integrity.

Sounds too good to be true?

Well, it isn't, if you have proven methods, the right techniques and tools, plus the resources that work best for attracting the clients you really want.

You will learn how to create, test and implement the career success plan that you choose for yourself using the business plan template included with your club membership — one geared just for you, the career coach or career services professional. And you will learn how to do all this in the simplest way possible according to your own likes and dislikes.

You will also discover how much you should charge for your services based on the expenses you have. The one-of-a-kind "What Should I Charge?" calculator will let you play with the numbers over and over again as you fine tune your business budget.

What is Your Business Really Worth to You?

It could take you years (maybe it already has) and cost you a small fortune to figure out the right combinations and strategies that make your "perfect business" come to light for you.

But instead of knocking yourself out trying to come up with the right mix, you can now have it all when you join the Career Coaching Club™.

At last! Freedom, clients, income and more are all available and waiting for you!

But don't take my word for it. Here's what clients have said about working with me:

“The work you gave me to do meant I had to reach deep inside and become a child with dreams and hopes for myself. That was so hard and emotional. But you stayed by my side through it all. I knew you were my wonder wall, and I could tell you anything. My fears were so real until I'd get on the phone with you and then, I would feel as if I could do anything I desired. Thanks to you I have been employed by one of the best pharmaceutical companies in the world. I am here because of you.” - Azi Chegini, VA, USA

“Committed” and “consistent” are two characteristics of Meg’s work ethic in terms of coaching and that will make you feel good about choosing her as your career coach. She cares about her client’s success.” - Chris Duffy, CT, USA

“My experience with Meg was nothing short of life changing.  I never expected this kind of result and I am so grateful to Meg for guiding me to my new path.” - Kathy Elbert, KS, USA

What is the Definition of Insanity?

I know you are probably still skeptical and a bit on the fence about all this, but take a moment and let this sink in - if you keep doing the same things over and over again in your business without making changes, you'll only succeed in getting the same results - insanity! That's why I want to let you try out my Career Coaching Club™ completely and totally risk free! (I'll tell you about my unique guarantee in a moment.)

Okay, So What’s My Investment For This Business Growth Opportunity?

Well, realize that membership in this coaching club could easily go for thousands of dollars a month.

I currently charge hundreds of dollars per hour to work with me one-on-one. So, at bare bones minimum, you're getting thousands and thousands of dollars worth of information, materials, tools, and mentoring at your disposal.

But, I am not going to charge you anywhere near that amount. Your total monthly investment in the Career Coaching Club™ depends on the level of commitment you choose. Take a look at the Charter Membership rates:

Minor League: $97/month

Pro League: $297/month

Just getting started and want the benefits of being a club member, but not yet ready for the total financial commitment?

How about joining the Rookie League? You still get all of the benefits of being part of a highly motivated and driven group of careers professionals, as well as the tools and resources you need to get going, but without the price tag.

Rookie League members get: quarterly teleclasses and recordings; the Peer Pep Rally Club; Team Buzz Board; tools, resources and special offers plus discounts to special events — all for the incredibly low price of just $47 a month. Plus, if you join at the charter rate now, when you are ready to jump up to the Minor or Pro League, you may get in at their charter rates.

That's right. You get to choose the level that works for you and better yet, you get to do this with a 100% Risk-Free Rock-Solid Guarantee. But remember, these are Charter Membership rates. Prices will go up January 1, 2009. That's when the regular rates kick in — up to $100.00 per month more! So register now to lock in your discounted rate.

Here’s the Deal:

Come play in the dugout for 30 days. You can hang back on the bench and see if the Career Coaching Club™ is a fit for you for the price of just a few lattes a month — and who can only drink a few?

If at any time in those 30 days you do not feel like this is the right place for you, then contact me and get your money back. It's that simple. Otherwise, after 30 days your credit card will automatically be billed for the monthly membership dues at the rate for which you originally registered.

(That's right — once a charter member, your monthly membership dues never go up as long as you stay at the same league level!)

Within 30 days you’ll see the value that the Career Coaching Cub™ brings to your business, lifestyle, and BANK ACCOUNT. It will take a crowbar to get you out of here!

There is absolutely ZERO OBLIGATION to stay any longer than you desire. Quit at any time. If you aren't happy, please don't stick around. It won't do anybody any good. Only like-minded folks should be working together here. If you decide to leave, we will say our good-byes and part friends.

(Just one caveat I must tell you about, though — once you leave, I cannot allow you to rejoin at the Charter Membership rate. It wouldn't be fair to your fellow members.)

Any RISK assumed is purely on ME! (Remember, I am an experienced risk-taker!)

I spend a lot of time bonding and helping any group I bring together — time I could invest in other high dollar activities. But I absolutely love helping conscientious career services solopreneurs like you, so there is no place else I would rather be. And I know you will love adding this exclusive membership to your marketing arsenal.
