11 June ~ Business Plan Journey

I started working on my business plan, I started by looking in Microsoft Office Templates and found a UK Business Plan, it looked a bit overwhelming, I turned back to my emails and found this.

The 6 Essential Secrets
for a Successful Coaching Practice  this asked me all the right questions which I will share with you in a another post, the questions got me thinking and when I discovered the earning potential that really stuck me.


I then got a call from James Knight as IMA http://www.imastrategies.com/  I had heard of this strategy once before and it really resonated with my soul.  So I am looking forward to working toward becoming a IMA practitioner. I need to raise £2500 for this course.


Another little miracle is I applied for a job as a creative at APPLE:

Creative
Business Group UK Retail
Job description In most stores, the customer relationship ends with a purchase. At the Apple Retail Store, that’s where it all begins. The Apple store is more than a store—it’s a place of community where open communication, learning, leading, and growing

serve to enrich our customers’ lives. Creatives help build this community through their dedication to teaching and training all things Apple—because happy, enthusiastic customers tell their friends.

A candidate we’ll love:

• You’re warm and friendly, and you love sharing knowledge.
• You enjoy meeting people and building relationship with customers.
• You’re an artist who proudly dabbles in the digital realm.
• Whether in front of a class or working one-on-one, you’re a natural-born teacher who believes in hands-on learning.
• You know your way around Apple’s pro and consumer tools for creating and editing digital media.
• You enjoy staying on top of Apple’s latest innovations and have a knack for choosing the perfect solutions for customers.
• You speak in layman’s terms, but you’re also a good listener with lots of patience.

A position you’ll love:

• Providing personal, one-on-one training and adjusting your teaching style and pace to meet the needs of the individual.
• Conducting presentations and workshops using Apple-approved training techniques and materials.
• Being one of the go-to people for creative tools knowledge in the store.
• Patiently showing customers such basic computing skills as double-clicking, using the Internet, organizing photos, and creating simple websites.
• Teaching our customers how to make a movie, record a song, draw digitally or edit photos. Or perhaps teach a new user how to use a mouse for the first time.

The ideal opportunity for digital artists:

A job at an Apple Retail Store is a chance to use your hands and heart. To use your knowledge and experience. To contribute meaningfully to people’s lives with your artistry.

To delight. Enrich. Impress. Engage. Inspire.

Are you ready to join the retail revolution?

 at Apple on the 19th March and thought nothing of it.  I got an email yesterday saying;

"Hi Karen ,

My name is Alannah and I'm an Apple Recruiter. I recently reviewed your CV and Profile and am delighted to tell you that you are being considered for a role at our Apple store in Milton Keynes.

We will be in touch later this week to provide you with details of our recruitment events.

Stay Tuned!

Alannah"

To top it off as you previously read about I did a gig for Spa Charter Services, who contacted me saying:

"Hi Karen.

Cool.

My base in the summer is Surrey, if I'm ever there.

I'm booked already for 6, possibly 8 weeks so I'm sure that I will need help because the dates are for the busiest times of the season, and I'm booked.

You don't need to be in the Med, London is fine and will get people to fly you in an out when we can.

Karen, can you please send me a short bio, 2 paragraphs or so and 2 photos. The bio should talk about you as a therapist and mention briefly your work on yachts, I'm not so much interested in that as I am in you as a therapist. This will go to clients so should include all of your qualifications, years of experiience and specialities as a therapist. For the photos, one should be a headshot and another less "static" more of a natural photo that has a little bit of movement. Remember it's not for yachting, but for massage. If you do facials, body treatments or anything else, (nails, etc.) please be sure to put that in. They can hire literally anyone in the world so we need to tell them why it should be "us". 

I expect that by mid-May I will be having several more inquiries and I really need therapists that are already in Europe.

Get me the info asap and I'll work on it..."
