TNP342 {Dispatch: June 25, 2026} Let's Talk Business (and Marketing)

Let's go on a farm tour and talk business! Today I am choring, checking the horses' water, the kunekune pigs' water, and saying hi to the chickens, then on to the fields to harvest wheat and barley to dry for wheat weaving kits this fall. I'm sharing quite transparently about my income, my debt, my marketing and my foundational business philosophies. I do want to note: - As with all dispatch episodes, the background noises may not work for everyone. The pig grunts may get tiresome and the chickens may cause a startle response. Please search your podcast player for a transcription! - I say several times in this episode "you have to do events", but I want you to hold that term, "events", very lightly. I don't mean you HAVE to host workshops. But, I mean, at least a 45 minute lunch-and-learn/webinar or SOMETHING, know what I mean? You have to make yourself available to the public if you want the public to fund your life. That's what I'm trying to say. It doesn't HAVE to be hosting events, that's just one example. It could also be your incredibly helpful or entertaining Substack, or your edutainment podcast or whatever. You just gotta MAKE is what I'm trying to say...you gotta DO stuff, otherwise all you have left to talk about is yourself and your boring credentials LOL 😂 In this episode I reference: My NuMethod Facilitation Training – now taking applications for the fall cohorts The 1000 True Fans Theory  Dunbar's Number Several times I mention a resource available with membership in The Numinous Network (For example, "Teach Well: Course Design for Healers Who Want to Teach", our Small Business Chat sessions, Peer Supervision, etc.) I mention how I built my business on 8-10 newsletters a year (for years) and how I maintained a high engagement/open rate. (You don't open 80% of the time in a year? No worries - I've unsubscribed you!)* Sign up for my newsletter here! *I actually haven't stayed on top of this since 2022 but I may resume soon! I love a good purge of my list! **I didn't mention this, but I also have registration now open for my Trancework Practitioner Mini Certificate, a microcredential to boost your confidence and provide support for your therapeutic work. ***I also didn't mention that I have another book coming out soon!
