Are you a teacher, educator, author, or advocate? Are you tired of your work not feeding you financially? Are you nearing your breaking point, and tired of wondering if teaching is ever going to pan-out for you?

What if you could have the best of both worlds; continue sharing your gifts, skills and views with the world, AND make money at the same time? It's time to think about moving from "being an educator", to offering your teachable skills as a coach.

Some benefits of the coaching model:
* You get to continue offering your expertise.
* You get to continue working from, and in, your passion.
* You can build your business to fit your life.
* You can have clients all over the world, instead of just in your geographical locale.
* You get to live your life purpose -- as your work!

I won't lie; building a coaching practice is not a quick fix, nor an easy solution. Building your practice, like building anything, takes time, energy, focus, and major amounts of commitment. It takes unbeatable conviction, and an entrepreneurial spirit.

True dedication is what building a business out of your dreams will call for. A successful practice must be built on the fundamental conviction that this is what you want to do with your life.

However, doing just this - building your dreams, your personal mission, your message, into the work you do in the world - is the way to continue offering your self, heart and soul, to the world. And, if your mission is what drives you, as it is for many of us teachers, you simply will not be satisfied with a life built on anything less.

Who can be a coach?

You can! Anyone who has ever taught can be a coach. The better your existing platform as a teacher, the easier the transition will be.

I have a client who recently came to me with questions about career change. I helped her transition to coaching from more "traditional" models of teaching. Within two days she had her sample sessions filled. Within two weeks she had her coaching practice filled through the next three months.

She then listed an on-line class, and the class filled in a matter of days as well.

Not everyone will get the results that she did, but right now, I'd like you to think of your teaching platform, and whether it's ready to transition over to the coaching model. If you were to make the transition, what kind of coaching practice would you build? What kind of coach would you be?

You can choose exactly the topic or area of interest that moves you into the most full alignment with your sense of purpose. What is the area that brings you the most joy?

Your topic might be love, relationships, and intimacy, or it might be spiritual purpose, or it might be adventure. Whatever it is, your commitment to bringing it to the world may be the key to your most ideal life.

How to start?

As a teacher, writer, advocate, or educator,  you're ready to offer your services as a coach now. The only thing missing is the structure of the business itself, and the support that will make way for your success. I can walk you through the transition and transformation step-by-step, and help you to arrive at your desired outcome as easily as possible.

Call me now at 707-293-5153, or drop a note to info@lasarafirefox.com, to schedule a free, 30-minute, pre-commitment evaluation. Together, you and I will build a highly personalized strategy that will bring you to a whole new level of making your mission, your dream, work in the world; a plan that will increase your alignment with purpose, earning-potential, visibility, and professional achievement.

peace.

<p>Hey Love,</p>

 

<p>Just when I think my life can't get any more full, it does! (Know the feeling?) And, as the more resilient parts of the fabric of reality always do, life accommodates. It would be silly of me to complain, because I've asked for every part of what's showing up! </p>

 

<p>My trip to LA was wonderful, and productive. I got to stay with friends in the Hollywood hills, step into the world of literature with other lit geeks like me, go for a run in Runyun Canyon (still one of my favorite places in LA), and step back into the jet-setting part of my life again for a minute.</p>

 

<p>My favorite moments in the trip were; 1. sitting in the hot tub, winding down after a long day at the Book Expo, laughing with friends...city lights sprinkled like fairy dust beneath us in the dark, twinkling, and vast starscape that is the LA basin at night... 2. spending time with intriguing friends, new and old, at the Figueroa Hotel during a sweet little industry party...and 3. meeting with the future publishers of my next book...yay!)</p>

 

<p>And, just like that, life expands!</p>

 

<p>My agent has stepped into contract negotiations with a few houses regarding my new title. (I'll tell you all about it once it's placed with the appropriate house. Isn't the anticipation killing you? Me, too!!!!)</p>

 

<p><B>So, what does this mean for you? If you've been thinking of coaching with me, now is the time.</b></p>

 

<p>Last month I had three new coaching and mentoring clients sign on (welcome!!!), and <b>I have room for only three more new clients</b> this month. Once those slots are filled, I won't be taking on any new one-on-one coaching clients for a number of months, so I can make time in my schedule for writing.</p>

 

<p><b>Two Personal Retreats Available:</b></p>

 

<p>On a related note, I have made available two slots for personal retreats. If you're ready to treat yourself to a weekend of revisioning, realigning, relaxing, and moving into greater wholeness, this is the option for you! AND, as a bonus for those of you who are ready to make a commitment to  this level of acceleration in your growth now, I will offer a three-month coaching program as a bonus. (To begin now, or after the in-person retreat. Your choice.)</p>

 

<p>Of course, this leaves only ONE coaching slot.</p>

 

<p>Whether you're interested in a coaching program, a mentoring relationship, or  are ready to indulge yourself in a full weekend of facilitated, nurturing, integration-oriented "Me Time", the time is now. I'm waiting for you to take the next step.</p>

 

<p><b>Raising My Rates:</b></p>

 

<p>As the wisdom goes, when the roster gets too full, it's time to raise rates! So, this is a heads-up that my coaching and mentoring rates will be raised on summer solstice, June 20. One more reason to act NOW. </p>

 

<p>Sorry to be all business this post, but I'm on deadline for a chapter and a marketing plan! Gotta get back to the page.</p>

 

<p>Lotsa love, and have a peaceful day,</p>

 

<p>-LaSara</p>

 

<p>P.S. Coaching is tax deductible as a consulting expense for most business owners and those in management. Is it for you? Check with your tax consultant!</p>

 

<p>P.P.S Some companies will pay for some or all of your coaching costs, as part of your benefits package. Does yours?</p>

hey love, If you're in CA, today is an election day. So, get your tush to the polls, and VOTE! If you're in Mendo, I urge you to vote No on B. Measure B is not the answer to any of the problems we, as a community, face. VOTE! Peace, -LaSara www.lasara.us P.S. Get inspired here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY

<p>In this edition: Grateful for you * TONIGHT, I'm on Layla's show.</p>

In this edition: Editorial * Upcoming Event! Northern California * LaSara Recommends * Ecstatic Presence Empowerment: Meeting you for the first time, again. *Hey Love,* I hope your spring is unfolding AMAZINGLY. The heat here in Northern California is intense this week, but that hasn't dampened to riotous beauty of an exceptionally verdant spring. Enjoy this BRIEF note, and my newest Ecstatic Presence Empowerment. More soon. Peace. Passion. Presence. -LaSara www.lasarafirefox.com P.S. I have two openings for new coaching clients this month. If you've been thinking about coaching with me, now would be a great time to schedule a complimentary intro session. Interested? Drop a note to firefox@lasara.us. *Upcoming event!* HARMONY FESTIVAL! I will be presenting at Harmony Festival this spring. Stay tuned for a post about the festival itself. It's amazing, and will be taking place the 6 - 8th of June. *LaSara Recommends...* The course offering from Daily OM this month is Neale Donald Walsch's new offering, called "Becoming Happier Than God." It's full of sweet little reminders that come to your in-box, and some fun spiritual "tech." Give it a spin if you're looking for a bit of inspiration. As always, there are tons of extras attached. And, since you already GET the offering from me, drop me a note if you register and I'll give you an additional special bonus gift. <http://www.dailyom.com/cgi-bin/courses/courseoverview.cgi?cid=18> *An Ecstatic Presence Empowerment: Meeting you for the first time, again.* by LaSara FireFox, www.lasarafirefox.com One of my favorite songs right now is First Day of My Life, by Bright Eyes. The opening line is "This is the first day of my life. Think I was born right in the doorway..." The Empowerment I offer you today is to treat this as the first day of your life. Allow everything to be made new through your own rebirth. Allow yourself to forget who you believe yourself to be, and release attachment to the ideas that have built you into the person you have been. As you become new, you will automatically allow yourself to encounter everyone as new in this moment. Learn who your loved ones are NOW, by releasing attachment to who they were yesterday. Instead of getting stuck in your "story" of who your partner is, or your kids are, allow this moment to unfold exactly as it is. Consider yourself empowered! The Ecstatic Presence Project * 705 N.

 Hey love,

 

I know it's last minute, but I want to add my voice to the many calling for 60 minutes of lights-off this evening, in an effort to call attention to energy consumption and global warming.

 

It's easy; all around the world, people will be turning all electric lights off for the hour of 8 PM to 9 PM, creating a voluntary rolling black out.

 

I'm spending this weekend with my brother-in-arms, Travio, his wife Dr. Spieler (yep, that's what we call her at home...) and our kids.... tonight we will sit together with only candles and create a circle of gratitude and love. Share it with us from where you are!

 

(Honestly, sitting with only non-electric light will remind me of my childhood, but that's another story for another time. Suffice it to say that my parents were some very committed back-to-the-land hippies!)

 

Earth Hour was created by the World Wildlife Fund in Australia, and serves the purpose of raising our consciousness, making a statement AND actually having an impact on use. Last year the event reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour. That may not sound like a lot, but it's the equivalent of taking 48,000 cars off the road for a year.

 

This year, the movement has gone global. Join in for Earth Hour. Let's see what we can do together!

 

peace. passion. presence.

*The Ecstatic Presence Empowerment for Play!: “That I Am.”*

by LaSara FireFox, www.lasarafirefox.com

 

You are intimately connected to everything, everywhere.

 

When we put something outside of ourselves, we are engaging in the practice of division. This practice can be a useful veil upon the path to union, but even the path is a veil that can get in the way of the destination. In reality, there is no destination.

 

I am, as I have been, as I will always be.

 

When you feel separation – whether through love, longing, desire, rejection, repulsion, hope, definition, clinging, etc. – realize that you are THAT, too. You are the thing you desire, you have the thing you long for, you are one with the thing that repulses you.

 

All things are held within the Divine. The Divine is in all things. We are each part of this grand tapestry, and are never separate from the All That Is.

 

Experience the Power of I Am. Notice every time you say, "I am..." today. If you are creating an "I AM" with the statement that feels less than in total alignment with your most true self, choose a new statement of truth. In every moment you are creating. Bring consciousness to your own healing into wholeness.

 

Consider yourself empowered!

Spring is here, and things are changing! Sap rising, flowers bursting into blossom. The forward momentum is palpable.

What are you going to build with it? If you're ready to embrace lasting change in your life, I invite you to schedule a complimentary introductory coaching session with me.

In each session I assist you in creating shifts that allow you to fully live the life you most desire.  And, in the flow of coaching with me, you will learn exercises that you can employ again and again on your own.

"LaSara FireFox shares practical and effective tools for self discovery. She has developed several powerful techniques for helping others to create new positive frameworks of thought. Her techniques are accessible and they work. They have changed the way that I walk into a room, how I breath, and make love. I know that so many would benefit greatly from her teachings. She is masterful."
– Bridget C. McBride, Montessori teacher and mother

Your coaching package is highly personalized. You can expect to find alignment and integration, and discover ways to ground this integration in your physical experience.

I offer NLP-based (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming) coaching, while working (and playing ) with many additional modalities. (You can see more about my modalities here: http://lasara.us/lasara/coachingfaq.)

My approach works from the basis of coming into conscious communication with your personal values, and creating alignment between your conscious mind and your unconscious processes.

"LaSara is a master! I had gotten bogged down in day-to-day tasks and e-mails, losing sight of my vision and becoming disillusioned with everything I was doing. In just one short session with LaSara, I began to feel excited about my work and my life again. LaSara is extremely skilled – working with her has the potential to change your life."
– PJ Van Hulle, Real Estate Investor

My approach to coaching is holomorphic - meaning that wherever we choose to focus, this work will impact your life process and experience globally, rapidly, and with lasting results. Many people come to me for relationship and sexuality shift, and many come with spiritual break-through and growth as an area of focus. My most long-term client has moved from personal growth to professional growth in the past year.

Still others come to shift cycles or patterns that are not serving them, such as patterns of indulgence, or substance use or abuse. I am equally comfortable in any of these realms, and am here to best serve your process.

"Coaching with LaSara is not to be missed!  LaSara's holistic approach honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit in the process of personal change and growth.  On top of that, LaSara herself is as fun and fabulous as she is wise and caring!  My partner and I gave one another a coaching session as a honeymoon gift, and we could not have been chosen a better way to start the adventure of married life.  This was a fantastic experience that we will surely repeat.  If you are considering this, stop considering and DO IT – the results will be even better than you imagine!"
Amy and Mari, Chicago, IL

The best way to get an idea of what my form of coaching has to offer you, is to sign up for a risk-free session and see how we work together. I offer this as an opportunity to see if we're the right fit. By the end of a session, we'll both know whether it feels right to continue on.

peace. passion. presence.
