Call me 914.272.7171

Have you ever thought…“I need just one good idea to ….?”  “I need an idea for a new product or service to serve my clients better.”
“How can I take what I already do and expand it to a new customer base?”
“What other avenues of income are available to me with what I already do?”
“I want to start a new business doing all the things I like to do but, don’t know what that would look like.”
“I want to start a home-based business doing what I like but, I need a vision.”

Coming up with new ideas can be daunting.

You keep doing things the same old way because you see things the same old way. Logic and analysis will often help you but not always guide you or provide you with a new or creative idea.    This pattern of thinking can stop you from moving toward your dream for weeks, months even years. You might have given up all together.

You might feel:
stumped,
stuck,
stopped.
You can’t go forward because you can’t see how it all works together. It can cost time, money and clients. It’s not your fault – it’s hardest to see your own way.

 

What you may be saying is I can’t get in touch with my intuition or that feeling in my gut.

Using intuition in business is something people whisper about, but it is in fact a determining factor in many decisions we make everyday in our lives and businesses.

 

Tom Peters, Management Consultant and Best Selling Author

Leaders trust their guts. “Intuition” is the one those good words that has gotten a bad rap. For some reason, intuition has become a “soft” notion. Garbage! Intuition is the new physics. It’s an Einstein, seven-sense, practical way to make tough decisions. Bottom line, circa 2001 to 2010: The crazier the times are, the more important it is for leaders to develop and to trust their intuition.”

 

You know what it sounds like when you don’t listen to your intuition. It sounds something like this… “*&%#$ I should have listened to my intuition…”
“I knew I should have done…”
“I thought that , but I didn’t ….
“I have to remember to listen to myself….”

It can be frustrating when hindsight is 20/20.

 

On the other hand how many times have you read a business success story that started, “I followed my gut…” “I had a hunch…”
“I just felt it…”
“It seemed right…”
“I don’t know, something told me that is what I should do…”
I finally listened to that little voice…”

What you are really saying is I used my intuition.

What you need is perspective from someone who can see the big picture for you.
I can help you. I solve problems and come up with inspired solutions for you, your business, your clients and services.

“Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once. Johann Kaspar Lavater

Kids are raised to think that only logic applies to business,” says Kip Tindell, CEO and President of The Container Store. “But some really wise person once wrote that intuition is merely the sum total of one’s life experience. If that’s the case, why would you leave that  home when you come to the office?

Don’t take my word for it….

 

Here’s what some of my clients have to say:

 

Christine is truly gifted!  Before I worked with Christine I felt as if my vision for what services I could and should provide were fuzzy. I was always experimenting with what may work without the results I was looking for.   Within minutes of sitting down with Christine she shared her vision of business growth ideas that not only described the immediate services I could provide starting the very next day, but structures and plans for the expansion of my business over the long term.  I was blown away with how many details she provided that were clear and EASY to execute.  In less than a week I had a new program halfway sold out! If you want your business to grow quickly and know exactly what you should be doing to make it happen, work with Christine. You’ll be thrilled you did.

“My session with Christine was very worthwhile.  She had a lot of great ideas that I could immediately relate to.  They were all things that I will definitely peruse to expand my business.  Her ideas seemed almost obvious after she said them. But I had not thought of really doing those things until she brought them up and we discussed them.  One of her gifts is definitely her ability to see potential markets or clients, and natural ways to approach them for your business.  I appreciate the fact that she followed up our call with a link to an audio recording of that call, as well as written notes for me to refer back to.”

Read the following case studies of how I have helped some of my clients.

Case Study #1
I was working with Tom (not his real name) who wanted to increase what he charged his clients. Tom is a consultant for multi-million dollar businesses helping them to be creative in the area of technologies. His question to me was, “How do I charge more money? “
Solution: Tom had designed a system to help big business become more creative. I suggested Tom take his system and break it into small chunks for small to medium size businesses.  I suggested he develop an online creative – design school that entrepreneurs could use to become more innovative for the issues that they face.

Tom saw that his system could generate perpetual income and bring his talents to a far wider audience. Tom understood that he had to put the work in to create this huge vision, but he saw the potential of the overall project. Once he was able to do this, he could not only create a name for himself but he could also charge his multi-million dollar clients more.

Case Study # 2
Client: Lucy (Not her real name) Stay At Home Mom:
Lucy is a gourmet organic cook. She has a beautiful home, an old Victorian that she and her husband had restored.  Unfortunately, it was not located in the best part of town. The inside was warm and welcoming. The backyard beckoned to be walked through and relaxed in, with a twinkling gazebo and a fire pit her yard was a treasure both summer and winter.

Problem: Lucy wanted to know what she could do while staying at home with her new baby.

Solution: The ideas for Lucy were twofold.
Part 1. She could teach other young mothers how to create gourmet baby food. The entire lesson for her mothers could start by creating a menu for the week and teaching them where and how to shop for what they need. Then return to her home and prepare the organic baby food in her well equipped kitchen. By working with small groups of women (2 or 3) at time she could have a 3 or 4 week mini school and the participant could make enough baby food for the week. Lucy could continue to prepare the organic baby food she normally would, but now she gets paid for it by having other mommies join her.

Part 2. Lucy loves to cook and her home is romantic and beautiful.  I suggested she rent out her services for small dinner parties for   3 or 4 hours per evening.

It would start with her husband picking the clients up at their home in his newly restored antique Cadillac – this would alleviate any fears of people coming to their home because of the location.  She would also be able to serve wine from their well stocked wine cellar without worrying about the guests driving home. The music selection could be custom chosen for each client.  Her beautiful backyard could be open to the guests between dinner and dessert giving them time to digest and relax.

She could comfortably accommodate 2 – 8 people and I thought this was a beautiful way for someone to propose or celebrate a birthday or anniversary dinner that could be uniquely special. Imagine being able to bring someone to your own private restaurant that served a personalized menu just for you, organic, gourmet and delicious.

Again this allows Lucy to stay home and do what she loves to do while making money. It fit all of her criteria and she could determine how much she wanted to work. A truly organic and delicious solution.

Case Study # 3

Client Mike is a nurse who wanted to start his own private practice offering counseling.
Problem: Mike was just starting out he was not sure he would be able to cover the expense of an office and the advertising.

Solution:
Mike’s dream was to have a health center.  And he thought the best way to start was small by renting an office and working up from there.  I suggested Mike start with his idea of the health center.  He could find a location and determine what other types of practitioners he would like to have at his health center.  He could then find the space and rent out the offices to them. By having several practitioners operate under one roof they could share the expenses of reception, advertising and assisting each other with their businesses.  Mike would be able to make an income and continue his full time work at the hospital while he was building his practice and creating his dream of a health center.

Akio Morita, Sony’s legendary founder, was no great fan of research. He claimed that no amount of  market data could have predicted the success of the Walkman. Even his engineers dismissed the idea: Who would buy a tape recorder that could only play and not record? But Morita had not doubts, not form the moment he’d seen a clunky sound system rigged by a colleague who wanted to listen to music without disturbing anyone. The setup used a portable Sony tape recorder and standard headphones. It sounded okay but weighed too much to cart around. Suddenly, Morita flashed on a memory: his daughter returning from a trip and popping a cassette into her stereo before greeting her mother.

He ordered his engineer to develop a small, lightweight stereo for listening anywhere, anytime. The Sony Walkman proved to be not only a smash hit but cultural icon.
