the maintenance department

A little bummed at the end of a class?

Maybe you’re still wanting some space to put what you learned into practice.

Or you’re feeling a little nervous that without the structure of the course, you’ll lose momentum and the changes you’ve begun to make won’t stick.

Or you’re wondering: What if I have questions down the road?

Or you’re already missing the cool people you met in class.

Yeah. Me too.

So I created The Maintenance Department.

It’s a space where graduates of The Way of the Time Disciple [formerly The True Discipline of Time Management], Project Front Burner, The Systems Lab [formerly The Organic Business Manual], and coaching clients can continue learning how to care for themselves, their time and their businesses.

It’s a space where we can remain connected and practice together.
It’s a space where we will build on basic skills on concepts.
It’s a space where you can get support when things get wobbly.

It’s a space where we’ll have a ton a fun.

How It Works

The Maintenance Department is a monthly membership program.

Each month we will explore a different theme that expands on course content. (See below for 2010-2011 themes.)

That exploration includes:

  • weekly Memos of Encouragement
  • the Tool of the Month – a practical application of our theme
  • an open Q&A call
  • a special guest interview or workshop
  • and a private online space for conversation about the month’s focus (we’re a small group, so the space is intimate, not some vast forum)

Membership also includes:

  • access to the archives of previous themes (such as: big picture planning, money, outer and inner spring cleaning, body, legal issues, technology, curiosity and just being)
  • reduced (sometimes free!) tuition on courses and special workshops/events, and private coaching sessions
  • an ever-growing library of resources
  • a quarterly book club
  • and other cool stuff as I (we!) think of it

Cost

Charter membership: $17/month

You could remain a member for a full year for about the cost of a single course.

But the real value lies in giving yourself the support you need to continue healing your relationship with time, finishing and the administration of your business.

Staying on the path to confident calm is the important thing here, right?

There’s so much more to explore. Let’s do it together. Because it’s always better together.
