Making a Living Without a Job

Ready to leave behind the 9-to-5 world and start building some-thing on your own? Don't know where to start? Millions of Americans have already traded in their corporate lifestyle for the satisfaction, freedom and creative challenge of jobless earning. So can you. This seminar is for everyone who has dreamed of being their own boss, as well as for those who are out of work, soon to be out of work, or wishing they were out of work.

After "real" jobs as a teacher, employment counselor and interior designer, Barbara J. Winter decided to test her own ideas and strike out on her own. That was in 1974 and she's been joyfully jobless ever since. She shares her experience and passion with would-be self-bossers in this informative seminar. Barbara will give you the basics you need to join the ranks of the successfully self-employed.

You'll learn:

• Three important techniques for success

• How to recognize and manage the obstacles you'll face

• How to develop multiple income channels

• How to design a work life that's perfect for you

• How to get started quickly with little or no money

• The best ways to make a living without a job

• How to find support and resources for building momentum

While the conventional wisdom may still be telling you, "Get a job," this class will show you new possibilities for working when you want, where you want and how you want. Whether you want to make the transition from employee to entrepreneur or create another source of income, don't miss this one-of-a-kind seminar. Come prepared to be inspired and informed.

What Would an Entrepreneur Do?

Stop Thinking Like an Employee!
Move Forward in Your Business by Unleashing Your Entrepreneurial Wisdom

Remember the good old days when you had a boss?  And what about those whiney co-workers? Skimpy vacations? 

Aren’t you glad those times are over?

Whatever your reasons for starting your own business, you probably brought something with you that you intended to leave behind, something that’s hindering your progress. That unconscious baggage is Employee Thinking.

Most of us don’t even know we’ve got it— which makes changing it mighty difficult. If you’re like most people, you’ve had years of conditioning to think like a good employee—and almost no education about how to think like an entrepreneur.

Unfortunately, many of the things that make us Employee of the Month don’t translate at all in running our own business. As Paul Hawken warns us, “Owning a business and working for one are as different as chalk and cheese.”

The good news is you can learn Entrepreneurial Thinking and put it to work building the business of your dreams. While it does require effort, it’s easier than learning a new language or Texas Hold ‘em. 

Start discarding that unhelpful thinking at What Would an Entrepreneur Do?, in a one-day workshop headed up by Barbara Winter, entrepreneur, long-time author, and speaker who teaches people how to be entrepreneurs and create the joyfully jobless life.

Barbara will show you how to connect, nurture and unleash the attitudes and thinking you need to make your business soar. 

You’ll learn:

      • What makes entrepreneurs different

      • How to recognize and eliminate Employee Thinking

      • Six power tools that smart entrepreneurs use

      • How to deal with an up and down cash flow

      • Why small is the new big

Then we’ll put Entrepreneurial Wisdom to work…

In Part Two, you'll roll up your sleeves and discover ways to: 

      • Expand our circle of influence

      • Create tipping points

      • See opportunities

      • Generate more options

      • Connect with entrepreneurial thinkers

If you’re ready to be an entrepreneur who makes your business an art form,

spend a day at What Would an Entrepreneur Do and you’ll leave with dozens of ideas and techniques for moving your business ahead while making a difference in the world.
