New Beginnings at Inspired Birth Pro
Mar 5th, 2011 | By Darlene MacAuley | Category: Inspiring New TipI grew up in Hawai’i, where it is gorgeous 24/7, 365 days a year. No matter what the weather is like, the landscape is pretty much the same, all year round.
I’ve lived in Austin, Texas for 16 years now, and my most favorite time of year is Spring. Every time I see the first Redbud tree bloom, I become giddy with excitement. The daffodils, the Mexican Plum, the azaleas, and then the bluebonnets and all other wildflowers. It’s all just pure joy for me.
Springtime is also an annual reminder of the perfection of nature. How DO the oak trees know it’s time to shed their leaves, and the elms know it’s time to start budding new ones. And day after day the grow so reliably and expectantly. The beginning of a new cycle of yet another year of life.
After my own dark season of hibernation over the past few months, I finally feel ready to shift into a new phase of my coaching business with Inspired Birth Pro. I’m considering it a re-birth. Over the coming months, more editable forms for birth businesses will be available for purchase. For over a year I’ve thrown around ideas for some helpful e-books and e-courses that will finally come to life. There may also be an affiliate program on the way.
I’ve considered creating a membership-based coaching program to offer ongoing support, but that is on the back burner while I put together some short term group coaching opportunities to help birth professionals go deep and get their businesses jump-started in a heart-centered way. And of course, what’s currently available is one-on-one coaching, which is the fastest, easiest way to make powerful changes in your life and business.
There is already a lot of free information available to help birth pros with their businesses, and more is on the way with some regularity. It’s my hope to have more guest writers share their wisdom and experiences with building a birth business, so send me a note if you want to share your success story with others! I also want to share more questions that I receive from Inspired Birth Pro readers and give the opportunity for others to offer their advice.
So, I hope you are looking forward to what’s coming. As always, I appreciate feedback, questions and the inspired wisdom that others share, so feel free to send me an email, make a comment on blog posts, and connect with me on Facebook.
