Jane Fecteau is an Intuitive Healer, practicing a variety of forms of vibrant Energy Medicine with offices in Kennebunk & Portland, Maine.

This week, Jane announced her fall class schedule which gave altMD the opportunity to connect with her and drill-down on what she is looking to accomplish.

It turns out that Jane has big plans for the Practitioner Training side of her business.  While she will always continue to see her own individual patients, Jane has a focused plan-of-action in the works to train upwards of 150 new students in the art of healing via Energy Medicine.  She is a passionate proponent of modalities that “entice the body to heal specific physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and life path functions.

Many define this method as a ‘medical intuitive,’ which is a fundamentally different way of seeing unique information and thus guiding and energetically visualizing specific physiology to promote right function.”  Jane sees her training programs as a way to bring new practitioners into the field as well as give current specialists a new and exciting therapy to offer their patients and expand their business.

Jane Fecteau is altMD’s person of the week because of her commitment to sharing the art and science of her “gifts’ to both patients and practitioners alike.  For more information about how you can participate – and find a great excuse to visit Southern Maine in the late Summer and early Fall, visit Jane’s altMD Listing to Learn More!

The Negative Side of Positive Thinking

David Essel is many, many things. 
He is...

• a Master Life, Business and Spiritual Coach
• a Motivational Speaker
• an Author and Radio/TV Host
• and he has been inspiring and empowering people to achieve a more balanced lifestyle for over 20 years.

In his terrific Blog, he recently wrote a great piece about The Negative Side of Positive Thinking... which, in a nutshell, "lies in our fear of taking action when we know we should, and instead just reading positive books or listening to uplifting Cd's."  

While David admits that these type of activities can be helpful - he believes that it is even more important to "take action" and make changes in real-time to truly combat the barriers that are keeping us from reaching our personal and professional goals.

Good advice?  You be the judge for your own life and situation but we are putting our money on David's approach and 20 years of experience!  To learn more about David - his programs and upcoming events, please visit him online at www.davidessel.com

Holistic Marketing and Values go Hand-in-Hand

Marketing and values go hand-in-hand. They don't compromise each other or work in lieu of each other. Many entrepreneurs that are struggling with marketing may feel that they are compromising their values - that they are pushing things on people that they don't want.

Let's take a look at what I believe marketing is and should be:

• Filled with integrity and honesty. Marketing should offer products and services that provide real value and the services are delivered as promised, or exceeding that promise. Good marketing has integrity and comes from an honest place, not a deceiving place. Many people see marketing as dishonest or "stretching the truth". Good marketing does not come from this place.
• Educate consumers rather than persuade them. Good marketing comes from a place of teaching and providing information so that people can make an informed decision. When someone comes across good marketing they feel empowered, not pushed into doing something.
• Clear and direct. Selling yourself shouldn't be confusing or messy. It should be clean, direct, and communicated with simplicity and clarity. An example, "These are the types of people we work with, they have problems in these areas, we provide this solution, here's how it works and how much it costs."
• Not harmful. Your services you market should provide a real benefit to your clients, to the community, to the earth. Your marketing should justify itself and communicates the value you offer. You don't have to explain yourself.

If you are struggling with marketing, feel uncomfortable doing it, or feel it's unethical, ask yourself what you need to do to change that. What you do helps people and they deserve to know about it. Your communications and marketing materials should reflect that.  (c) 2008, A Marketing Connection
