NOTE: Please share this post with your friends and colleagues… Some of the free resources listed could save their business, their home, or possibly even their life.
We carefully curated the list of resources below to help thought leaders (coaches, consultants, online course creators, authors, speakers, etc) survive and THRIVE during these uncertain and difficult times.
As I’m sure you’ve heard or even said yourself recently…
“These are crazy times we live in!”
COVID-19 has already made an unprecedented impact on the world, and on this industry.
This week I spoke with no fewer than 6 coaches or consultants who shared that they are or may soon need to “close their doors” or let team or contractors go.
And, sadly, if the health experts at the CDC and WHO are right, this is just the beginning. 😞
That said, it’s also important to acknowledge that it’s NOT all doom & gloom right now for our industry.
As thought leaders – experts in helping people create wealth, better health, loving relationships, and happier and more fulfilled lives…
Over the next few months, there’s a LOT of opportunity for thought leaders like you to be a source of light and positivity in the midst of so much uncertainty and fear…
AND to make ethical, “right-fit” offers, expand your online marketing, and grow your business.
As thought leaders – our work, YOUR work, is truly needed now more than ever!
If, as an industry, we band together and get more strategic about how we attract, enroll, and serve our clients…
We CAN thrive, and we can make a positive impact on more people than ever before.
In the rest of this post, you’ll find a (regularly updated) list of both FREE and some special deals on high-value, timely solutions to help you with:
- Community & Human Connection
- Business & Marketing Strategy
- Mindset & Mental Health
- Business & Personal Finances
^^ Click any of the above links to skip directly to those resources. ^^
We KNOW that this global challenge poses a wide array of issues for people from all walks of life…
Our hope is that the resources below provide the exact support and comfort you need at this time.
As you navigate the next few weeks and months, please know that we (the Thought Leaders Institute team) are here for YOU, and we believe in you.
To your health & success,
Lucas Garvin & Jim Hohl
Co-Founders, Thought Leader Brands
PS – Yes, some of the resources below are our own programs.
Every program listed is available at heavily reduced rates (or free), for the time being…
Please know that our aim is NOT to take advantage of the situation — but rather to make our support more ACCESSIBLE for those that need more guidance or an extra hand to ramp up their online marketing & sales efforts right now.
Community & Connection
Join Our Free Community of Thought Leaders
While so many of us work from home, I think it’s fair to say that most of us aren’t used to complete isolation for extended periods of time, right…? 🙂
Well, being forcibly “cooped up” at home doesn’t have to mean that we can’t connect with caring, like-minded people that can help keep us sane, motivated, and accountable to important work…
We’d love to invite you to join us and nearly 1,000 other thought leader business owners in our free community, Thriving Thought Leaders.
Connect Your Own Community
Video conferencing giant Zoom has created a free resource for working from home during this pandemic that touches on so many topics – including how to work remotely more effectively and how to host virtual events. Check it out here.
