You Can Do It coaching groups for marketing success

Get inspired.
Stay on track—and have fun along the way

This group will help you develop a marketing plan and offer the support and accountability you need to stick to it.

Stay on track, learn self-promotion,
and go at your own pace

“This group was a great opportunity to get more on-track with my marketing, which has been challenging to focus on as a sole owner of a business. The diversity of the group was part of its strength as it broadened the opportunities to learn and get ideas from one another. Szifra's enthusiasm and knowledge helped to round-out and provide additional information about self-promotion which few of us knew about, as well as specific suggestions on how to proceed with our marketing goals.

It was a positive for me that all were able to proceed at their own pace. I would highly recommend this class to other self-employed business owners.”

A cost effective and practical way to get marketing ideas and support!

You Can Do It Marketing Groups recognize that marketing can be a real challenge for many self-employed professionals, artists and any small-business owners. Now you have an alternative to paying big bucks to hire a professional to do all the work, or sitting alone struggling to find a comfortable and effective way to promote your business.

Small group size facilitates conversation and comfort.

Each group is made up of a maximum of six interesting, business-focused people from diverse careers to stimulate creative thinking. Only one person is allowed from a particular profession per geographic area to eliminate competition issues.

Formal presentations & lively group interaction

Dangers of doing it on your own

Slow-moving progress due to little accountability
Inconsistent focus on marketing
Lack of a sounding board, isolation, loneliness, discouragement
Confusion about which strategies to implement
Getting overwhelmed by the process

Groups have a proven track record as a safe place to get feedback and encouragement, and an effective way to keep people on track.

I have been facilitating groups for almost thirty years. They are a cost effective and valuable way for people to get the marketing information they need, the feet to the fire we seem to require, as well as the encouragement to stay with it.

My goal is to see you succeed in your work—to continue being able to do the work you chose, the work you have passion for. And, as you know, in order to succeed as a business you must be proficient at the business side of your work. Learning how to sell your photograph, painting, jewelry, and coaching or therapy session is as essential as doing good work.
