“Earn Your Worth” Business Prosperity Groups with Mikelann Valterra of The Women’s Earning Institute

If you are:

• Tired of feeling isolated
• Wishing your income was higher
• Uneasy with “selling” yourself and your service
• Having a hard time staying motivated around your marketing efforts
• Feeling like your relationship to money could stand some improvement
• Concerned with keeping your income up in this economy
• Open to looking at both the emotional and practical sides of business

Then this group is for you! We will support each other as we all move forward towards greater abundance in our lives. There will be group support, accountability work, new ideas and deep work on our relationship to money.

“Earn Your Worth” Business Prosperity Groups

These powerful business prosperity groups for women focus on earning issues and your relationship to money. The intention for these groups is to increase your income. Mikelann Valterra personally facilitates the groups, which meet once a month in person for three hours. In addition to group support, she does a mini-seminar on a new topic each group. These groups are designed for women in service-based businesses.

Mikelann believes that in order to make more money, women must assess the deeper psychology of why they undersell themselves as well as broaden their tool kit of marketing methods and business survival strategies. Therefore, the prosperity groups looks at both the skills around how to make more money, as well as why it is often difficult to put strategies into action. Mikelann also teaches proven prosperity skills.

“Without the “Earn Your Worth” group, I’d still be laboring under my old false belief that I have no control over how much money I can make. Wrong! I’ve learned to identify my blocks, challenge myself to think outside the box, and take my business to new heights. My increased confidence and my bank account are my two best testimonies to the value of the group.”
~Ann Guinn, Law Practice Management Consultant

Topics Include:

How to set rates * Dealing with the “Good Girl Syndrome” * How to ask for what you want and re-defining “success” * Escaping noble poverty * The reality of the romance myth * Talking with clients about money * How we maintain the status quo around money * Feminine energy in business * Risk taking and visibility in business * PR and marketing * Self care and self deprivation * How to build referrals * Goal setting * Prosperity thinking * And much much more….

“Every meeting brings with it unexpected revelations. Each group has called to my attention the much more subtle attitudes and ensuing actions that I use to sabotage my earning ability. Additionally the positive dynamic created by a group of women discovering and addressing similar issues makes it easy to relax and begin to think outside of each of our boxes.”
~Julia A. Youngs, Attorney

Mikelann Valterra’s vision for the Earn Your Worth business prosperity groups:

“I envision a space where self-employed women can gather and feel truly supported by those who are walking a similar path. I see a group where confidentiality creates a space to share the truth of our lives-our present situations, goals, fears and aspirations for our businesses. I see a place where we can explore ideas and new skills and then feel supported as we try them out. And I envision a space where we can talk about earning money-a place where we can come to peace around money and create truly abundant lives.”

“The work of Mikelann Valterra and The Women’s Earning Institute is all about transformation. Mikelann gives me valuable insight into my belief system about money – the very same dysfunctional beliefs that negatively affect my ability to make money. I’m passionate about the work I do. But I had no idea that both long-held conscious and unconscious beliefs about money affect every component of the management and growth of my business. Mikelann demands my honest introspection and my willingness to change; she delivers the knowledge and tools necessary for me to make my business a financial success. The Women’s Earning Institute is my saving grace!”
~Cyndie Ulrich, Ulrich Consulting Public & Media Relations

“Since joining Mikelann’s “Earn Your Worth” group a year and a half ago, my income has tripled. I would recommend this group to any woman who wants to make more money!”
