What if you could take your passion and amplify its positive impact many, many times over?
Wouldn’t it simply feel amazing to know you are making a bigger “Gift to the Shift” (and personally thriving as a result)?
You have a gift. You started your business because of your sheer passion for making a difference in the lives of other people.
You now yearn to share that gift in a bigger and better way, with more soul and less stress. And, you want to earn an abundant living in the process (and do it in a way that feels authentic and right for you).
Sound familiar?
Yet, you struggle trying to figure out how to communicate this gift and make the impact you know you are here to make – it can be frustrating!
And, frankly, we need you to figure this out because your gift is unique and if you DON’T get it out there into the world and make the impact you know you’re here to make, we all lose out.
You know technology, the Internet and online marketing are a big part of the solution. You may be on Facebook or Twitter, and you may already be using Constant Contact, Mail Chimp or another email program.
Or maybe you think you’ve heard of all these things, but it’s too overwhelming to think about and you really don’t know where to start!
The reality is that if you’re over 35, you didn’t come hardwired for marketing and selling yourself online. But it’s not your fault. And we understand, support you and are committed to helping you bring your great work, your passion, your gift, out into the world.
So here’s what we’re going to do...
We’re going to break it down for you using proven methods and a step-by-step program with some of the best business and marketing teachers in the field. (If you have any doubt about these methods, just look at us. We’ve grown The Shift Network audience from 1 to 170,000 in less than two years.)
Here’s How You Can Benefit...
In just 12 weeks, you’ll learn to hone your vision and your unique brand, get crystal clear on your ideal client, know where and how to reach them online as well as master all the nuts and bolts of turning these prospective clients into paying customers – and genuine fans who bring you referral business!
You can then:
- Become THE expert and leader in your industry (instead of the best kept secret).
- Serve more clients in less time – greatly increasing your impact and income.
- Sell your offer powerfully and effortlessly.
- Build an adoring community of repeat customers by knowing your ideal clients.

These folks have done it all – they’ve mastered bringing their gift online to making a bigger impact in the world and greatly contributing to the worldwide shift, even as they have parented their children, taken care of elderly parents and transformed themselves.
They will be with you through 12 weeks of hand-holding as they share their most potent and practical methods and insights to take you to the next level in your own evolutionary pathway.
We believe entrepreneurship can be one of the most important of the evolutionary stepping stones, and Lisa, Alexis, Lisa, Michele and George will be guiding you to the next stage.

What You’ll Learn: Course Overview
Taught by Lisa Sasevich
Whether you have a website, Facebook presence or anything else set up for your business yet, this module is an absolute must. It will save you huge amounts of time and effort to create your offer before you make any further investments in bringing your work out into the world.
Week 1: Creating Your Irresistible Offer (February 13th)
Discover the unique transformation you provide to your clients, so that the right clients flock to you!
To build your business successfully, the first step is getting crystal clear on the transformation your clients will get as a result of working with you. Creating an irresistible offer that describes your “brand” of transformation is critical to having your clients want to invest with you.
In Week 1 you’ll discover:
- What IS and is NOT an offer. (If you’re having trouble getting your prospects to buy, then you’ve been doing this all wrong – clarifying your offer ALONE could completely transform your entire business.)
- How clarifying your offer will give you powerful language to use on the phone, in groups, one-on-one, everywhere. (Imagine no more struggling for the right words when you’re speaking to a prospect – you’ll know exactly what to say to give your prospects the opportunity to say YES!)
- 3 questions to ask yourself that will make putting your offer together an absolute no-brainer (you’ll be amazed at how easy this can be for you).
Week 2: Discovering Your Unique Branded System (February 21st)
And own your place in the market!
Discovering your Unique Branded System is the KEY to making more money with less effort while making a HUGE difference getting your blessing out into the world. (In fact, once you finish with this module, you’ll see how easy it is to increase your fees 10-50 times.)
So what is a Unique Branded System (UBS)? In a nutshell, it’s a way to package your business offering so that people easily grasp what you do and want to invest with you. In fact, you may find that once your UBS is in place, clients become HUNGRY to invest with you.
Best yet, in many cases, you can then take your system and sell it as a group program. (This is the secret for moving from one-on-one service situations into leveraged group programs.)
In Week 2 you’ll discover:
- Your Unique Branded System (USB) with Lisa’s 5-step system.
- How you can go from delivering your services one-on-one to reaching many with your offer and unique gifts.
- A 3-step method for packaging and selling your offer and turning your USB into a client-attraction magnet, powerfully and effortlessly.
- Whether you’re going to be a service provider or a trainer. (You’ll learn the difference and how you can be BOTH, if you want to.)
- How you can serve more clients in less time and make WAY more money.
Week 3 Generating More & More Business through a Leveraged Progression Plan (February 28th)
And FINALLY create the consistent cash flow you’ve so long desired!
Now that you have your offer and your Unique Branded System, you can now learn to build multiple streams of income into your business – the key to having steady, reliable income. One way to do this is by giving your prospects a variety of ways (and a variety of price points) to invest with you – what’s called a leverage progression plan.
Lisa will show you her personal leveraged progression plan that allowed her to grow her business from zero to $2.2 million-plus in 3 short years and then double it again to over $4 million while enjoying steady cash flow. (All while raising two toddlers at home and putting her husband through medical school.)
In Week 3 you’ll discover:
- The four methods that enable your prospects to DISCOVER YOU. (Don’t follow this and you could find yourself spinning your wheels because you keep recreating the wheel!)
- How to identify and capitalize on the “low-hanging fruit” in your business.
- How to "rinse and repeat" so you serve more clients and make more money for less time and effort.
Taught by Lisa Cherney
We’ve seen far too many people start a business without focusing nearly enough time and attention on claiming and attracting their ideal clients, only to find themselves lost in the woods wondering where they had fallen off the path. Keep your eye on the prize of working with your ideal clients, and you’ll easily make it through the forest to the impact you know you are meant to make.
Week 4: Uncovering Your Specific Ideal Client (March 6th)
Target market isn’t enough anymore!
Have you heard the saying "if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there?" Well, if you don’t know who your ideal client is, you won’t be able to attract them.
And when we say "your ideal client" not only are we talking about prospects you love to work with but the ones who love working with YOU! These are your biggest fans, the ones who crave what you’re selling. Wouldn’t you love having hundreds or thousands of customers who adore you and buy everything you sell? Well, this can be YOUR reality once you discover our secrets!
In Week 4 you’ll discover:
- Finally learn the difference between Target, Niche and Ideal Client. (It’s not what you think!)
- An easy system for pinpointing exactly who your ideal clients are. (No guesswork here – we lay it out to make it super simple.)
- Why NOT knowing your ideal client is a recipe for disaster. (In fact, NOT going through our simple system could be costing you thousands of dollars in money, time and lost opportunities.)
- Why saying “no” to a non-ideal client could be the key to unlocking your success (and abundance).
Week 5: Attracting the RIGHT Ideal Clients (March 13th)
How to diagnose your Multiple Ideal Client Personality Disorder™ (MICPD)
Many small business owners suffer from MICPD (Multiple Ideal Client Personality Disorder). This “ailment” can paralyze your business. The more focused you are on helping people and serving, the more likely you have MICPD and it’s paralyzing your business. But focusing on your most ideal client gives your business – and your income – the opportunity to flow.
In Week 5 you’ll discover:
- Why marketing to everyone is marketing to no one!
- How to tune the frequency of your marketing so precisely that your ideal clients will come find you (no more chasing clients).
- Simple steps for attracting your ideal clients into your business effortlessly.
- How to make your ideal clients feel completely understood and that what you’re offering is the ONLY solution for them. (What competition? Do this and your competition melts away.)
Week 6: Sealing the Deal with Your Ideal Clients (March 20th)
How to use their own words in your marketing so they say, “I need that!”
Are you overlooking your clients’ pain points? Forgetting that they’re NOT you? It’s essential to learn how to get inside your client’s head. And when you do this, you’ll be able to craft your marketing messages in THEIR language so they resonate with you.
In Week 6 you’ll discover:
- An incredibly simple and powerful technique for getting in the head of your Ideal Client (so they see their words in your marketing).
- How to create a mental bridge that shows clients where they are now and where they’ll be after working with you.
- Ways to spot when your agenda, lingo and skill are getting in the way of communicating with your Ideal Clients so you can catch it before the damage is done.
Taught by Michele PW
Once you know what you are offering and whom you are offering it to, putting it into words is the golden key that will unlock your impact. This module will bring you to clarity about the exact words necessary to share your gift for the worldwide shift.
Week 7: Selling Your Gift with Your Words (March 27th)
Here’s a little secret of marketing – words sell. Not pretty logos or websites. If you want to start leveraging your time and money, bringing leads and clients into your business without you doing all the work, you need to learn the basics of direct response copywriting. (Copywriting is writing promotional materials, not to be confused with protecting your intellectual property or putting a copyright on something.)
But there’s a problem with that. You probably HATE all that "hypey, salesy" copy floating around out there on the Internet. Well, what if we were to tell you there’s a better way? You can still harness the power of copywriting (letting your marketing materials bring in leads and sales for you) WITHOUT it sounding inauthentic.
In Week 7 you’ll discover:
- What authentic direct response copywriting is AND isn’t (the answer may surprise you).
- The decision you MUST make before you start adding direct response copywriting to your business (if you don’t do this you are dooming yourself to frustration and failure).
- The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when they start using direct response copywriting (and this mistake is most likely costing you not only sales but your reputation).
- How to get started writing authentic direct response copywriting (it’s easier than you think with Michele PW’s simple system).
Week 8: Mastering the Nitty Gritty of Copywriting (April 3rd)
Now that you know the big-picture view, it’s time to get into the details. What are all the elements of a piece of direct response copy? And how do you get started writing? What do you absolutely need to include and what’s not important? Michele PW will show you all that and more.
In Week 8 you’ll discover:
- A simple copywriting formula to follow (and this includes templates to make it super easy for you to write your own copy).
- Writer’s block? No worries – Michele has exercises to share for different elements that takes a lot of the stress and pressure off writing.
- Tips on how to package what you’re selling to make it a no-brainer for your ideal clients to say “yes.”
- How to make sure the words you choose are right for your ideal clients.
Week 9: Leveraging Your Copywriting – It’s More Than Just a Website (April 10th)
How to start leveraging your time, money and marketing strategy
Once you have the basics, it’s time to take it the next level. Authentic direct response copywriting is all about leveraging your time and money. So wouldn’t it make sense to use as much of your copy as you can to increase your business? That’s how you can grow your business in a leveraged manner.
In Week 9 you’ll discover:
- Multiple ways you can use authentic direct response copywriting for your business (some you probably never thought of).
- Easy ways to tweak and reuse the copy you already have – over and over again (no need to reinvent the wheel every time).
- Time-saving templates to help you craft your own copy.
Taught by George Kao
You’ve got the offer, you know who you want to make it to, and how to talk about – now you are ready to bring it all online and use the Internet to give your gift without getting lost in a mess of technologies that you’ll never be able to master.

Put these three sites on your social media marketing checklist, use the right strategies that you’ll discover this week, and you’ll have your bases covered.
In Week 12 you’ll discover:
