Let’s Work Together to Empower Your Purpose and Passions
There is no good reason in 2011 for anyone to do anything they don’t completely love. The opportunities are tremendous for paving your own path and there has never, ever been a better time to follow your passion and turn it into a profit to boot.
So let me empower you to stop doing stuff you hate.
After years of struggle and soul-searching, I am shockingly happy that I tapped into sources of motivation and willingness to pursue exactly what I want to do. I have always been a practical, financially conservative girl, trust me. Yet, I have made the seemingly impossible happen even for me especially after escaping corporate.
My questions for you are: Why can’t this happen to you? What’s stopping you? The truth is that it can and it most definitely should.
Why give up years – like I did – and make mistakes – like I have – to close opportunity’s door and wrap yourself in limited time and space?
Remember: You get one chance. One life. Make it matter. Make it count. Make it work for you in precisely the way that you envision now, not later.
That is the passionate side of me talking and it’s my only side. And it wants to talk to you!
My Approach to Coaching: First, you can only coach on that which you have first hand experience. Second, you can only successfully coach and empower those who believe in the value of coaching and are willing to do the work. I fit the bill on the first half. Do you fit it on the second?
To make sure we are an excellent match to work together, I offer you a 20 Minute Free Consultation to help us decide. Completely free of obligation, this is the best way to answer your questions and share the best options that would work well for you. If you wish to have this free chat, please drop me an email: coaching@prolificliving.com. Expect to hear back no later than 12 hours.
The 3 Areas of Empowerment in this Coaching Program:
Here are my coaching packages with precisely what you can expect as an outcome of working with me:
1. On Awakening your Motivation and Crushing Your Fears:
Are you procrastinating, just achieving goals or aspiring for greatness in your life?
Are fears and anxieties stopping you from doing anything other than daydream?
True motivation is more than just achieving your goals; it can enable you to create the life that you were meant to live. It can empower you to tap into your greatest potential. During these sessions, I help you identify the things that rob your motivation. Then I help you figure out your current motives and drives and work with you in the right shifts in perspective to tap into your inner motivation.
We dig deep into the root cause of your frustration and fears and I empower you to learn the reasons you feel depleted and unmotivated. Then I offer you clear step-by-step actions so that you can overcome your fears and anxieties and be free of their power. See Motivation: From Goals to Greatness for a kick start in the right direction!
2. On Career Coaching, Escaping the Corporate World, and Turning your Passion into a Business:
Has your career stagnated?
Are you frustrated and confused about not understanding the corporate landscape?
Are you perhaps looking for a smart exit strategy out of corporate or into another company?
My career wasn’t making me happy so I quit that 6-figure income, work-from-home super-easy arrangement after 12 years – see full story on my gutsy move. Before walking out on Corporate America, I chased raises, promotions, status, perks, bonuses, you name it – and got them all.
I spent over a decade in the corporate world, worked with countless other companies, interviewed others, and mentored a lot of people, and know what works and what doesn’t in a Fortune 500 company culture.I am determined to help you understand the work environment and its impact on you.
What if you want to exit the corporate world? What kind of mindset, approach and planning do you need to make it a professional exit? I can help you to build a step-by-step exit strategy from corporate or from any other position.
In these sessions, I teach you how to communicate your priorities and needs to your management in the right language, how to set expectations with your boss without being unpleasant, how to negotiate for what you are worth, how to gain a reputation for your strengths and play them to your advantage, and how best to position yourself and influence opinion to achieve your career goals.
3. On Blogging, Social Media, and Digital Product Creation:
Do you want a successful, growing, influential blog?
Do you want to understand how to use social media to grow yourself or your business?
Do you dream of having your own products and services online?
On Blogging: I think blogging is for anyone who has a story to tell, a message to spread, a will to write and a desire to share the writing with the world. The world is at your fingertips when you seize this amazing opportunity.
I have been blogging now well over 2 years and today, I am doing it full-time. In fact, Problogger listed Prolific Living as one of the 40 Bloggers to Watch in 2011. If you like what you see here, I can help you do the same for you.
In these sessions, we create an effective strategy for establishing a successful blog, a working writing schedule and promotion strategy, guest posting to other blogs, and the best tools of the trade.
On Product Creation: Creating your own products opens you to a whole new world. My first product took me 4 months and I learned massive lessons on creation and marketing. My Kindle book took 4 weeks to publish. The 10 Minute Invigorator, an all-video-based product, took 3 weeks to get to market. My Comprehensive Guide to Green Juicing, though, now that I did while on the road and traveling in Australia and New Zealand, under 3 weeks, and it is the most popular product. You definitely learn things along the way, you can say!
I can help you can replicate this process step by step for your business.
In these sessions, I help you with idea generation for your product, initial market research, turning the idea into an eventual product, how to find and interview the best designer (if need be), and how to successfully work with one. I also can take you through all the systems and tools to enable the sale of your product. I’ll disclose all those secrets so that you don’t repeat my mistakes.
On Social Media: Social media is the heart of blogging and it is transforming the way people think, play and work – not to mention the way they spend money. Social media connects us with clients and customers we would never have had access to in the lonely world of yesteryear!
In these sessions, I talk to you about a winning approach with your brand and business in social media. How can you use it to attract more traffic and leads to your site. I share with you all my secrets because it can bring you massive opportunities.
The Right Coaching Package For You:
How much do you want to engage? How long shall we talk? How deep do you want to go? How far do you want to get? It all depends on you and how much time you want to invest in yourself now. Here are your options:
The Wake Up Call is a 1-hour power session to talk things out, bring things to the surface, shake things up, open up your mind to the possibilities and find opportunities open to you, define a quick strategy for you to solve the current problem and move through with intention and purpose.
The Smart Package is three 1-hour 1:1 power sessions, spread out preferably over 2-3 weeks. This gives us time to dig much deeper and go into far more detail around your challenges and to build a killer plan and a roadmap for your short-term and long-term goals. Much more time for exercises, home work and emails to ask me anything.
The Prolific Deal is ten 1-hour 1:1 power sessions. I do this only if you have a long term commitment to yourself and seriously enjoy working to get results. I will push you, empower you to break boundaries and insist on changes that bring you teasingly close to your dreams. It is a big investment of both of our times and I make sure the correct dynamics are there first.

What some of my fantastic coaching clients had to say:
John Kowalski at Babacita , Professional Marketing Consultant- On making the move from corporate to consulting business
I am currently looking from making the jump from a corporate America position to my own consulting business. I had never even considered working with a coach but was currently at a standstill with developing my consulting business plan. I had explored my personal and professional skills, experience and passions. But with all the “parts and pieces,” I was unsure of how to get past the concepts and translate them into a solid business offering.
Enter the coach. Enter sweet Farnoosh. I was drawn to her immediately by her writing, blog and overall life philosophies, which truly aligned with my own. Also, the fact that she made the leap from corporate America to consulting – she had successfully made that journey that I was currently following.
Prior to our first session, I had sent her a draft of my current business plan, notes on my situation and where I wanted to go. Once we dove into our sessions, through her brilliant insight, thought process and analysis, I was able to move forward and the pieces came together. Her encouragement, inspiration and dedication to my situation and me were unlike anything I had experienced in the past. Where have you been all my life?!? But now, moving forward, and having her expertise and guidance, I will absolutely succeed.
Being a pretty driven individual, Farnoosh was able to spark me to a new level that has been missing for years. I highly recommend following her blog, reading her eBook on motivation and working with her. It WILL make a difference. It has in me.
Please contact me directly at john@babacita.com to talk with me directly about my work with Farnoosh.
Emily Summerer, Women’s Life Coach - On establishing a blog and website from scratch
Sometimes I search for certain phrases that have meaning to me in order to find the right burst of inspiration. One day I Googled “find your own path” and the first website that came up was Farnoosh’s Prolific Living. The words “find your own path” have significant meaning for me as I was in the process of transitioning from a finance career at a Fortune 500 automotive company to empowering women as a life coach.
I had just started down the path of getting certified as a coach and was working on building the foundations needed for my business. Since I live overseas and will move every couple of years, I knew that I would need a strong blog to attract the right clients.
Immediately I felt connected to Farnoosh as I read through various blog posts as she wrote about choices I had made and things I had considered. I loved the look and feel of the Prolific Living blog and the way Farnoosh interacted with her readers. I have always been a big believer in finding the right mentors or seeking out the advice of experts to make my journey easier so I purchased a 3 session blog coaching package from Farnoosh.
I was a novice to the world of blogging and Farnoosh was able to share her expertise with me in a way that was easy to understand and enabled me to act upon the advice immediately. She provided me with detailed notes of our discussions and the action items to be completed between sessions. Farnoosh always promptly answered all of my email questions and she took the time to write a lengthy response. She is someone who truly understands and wants to see you succeed as much you do.
Chris Harris, IT Consultant, on Moving to Blogging and Online Business
I have been working with Farnoosh for the last 7 months, she has been a tremendous asset to work with.Her experience working in corporate IT and then making the jump to running her own business has been an inspiration to me. She is a powerhouse of talent and ideas that she channels into helping others to do the same.
I am fortunate to be working with someone of her caliber who is warm, personable and able to see in my blind spots to develop new ideas and directions for making changes in my business life.
Maria Brophy, Consultant for Artists, on Self-Discipline for Writing an eBook under Tight Deadline
I had been wanting to write a book for as long as I can remember. I had everything you need to be an author, except for a few key components: organization, focus and confidence in my own knowledge. I had a bad habit of starting books projects, but never finishing. Then I got an opportunity to co-write with a very successful writer in my niche of art licensing, It was a huge step up for me, but I wasn’t sure that I could do the work and meet my deadline. I did a session with Farnoosh, and she went above and beyond. She helped me eradicate the fears that were holding me back from getting the work done. She helped me organize my writing, broken down by chapter into days and weeks so I’d meet my deadline, and then she followed up because she cared! The book is finished, I’m proud of the work that I did and I now have the confidence to write another.
Tibor Febland, Entrepreneur in London and Israel - On being hesitant at first about coaching
Dear Farnoosh,
I would just like to thank you so much for the coaching session that has had such a positive impact in my personal and professional life.
I was a bit hesitant to ask at first and had been toying with the idea of contacting a coach but I’m so glad I did and I’m so glad it was Farnoosh.
Priya (my shy client) Software Engineer dreaming of becoming a writer -On Getting out of self-destructive vicious cycles
Thank you for an eye-opening session. I absolutely LOVE your depiction of the vicious cycle of behavioral/emotional problems.
Though I knew I had to get away from feeling victimized by my circumstances, I wasn’t doing anything about it other than feeling disgruntled deep down all the time. But after talking through it with you, it’s crystal clear that any complaints on my part are mere excuses to staying complacent. And also, until I talked to you, I didn’t realize to what extent my approval seeking was holding me down. So thank you for giving me the encouragement to start with small, consistent and meaningful steps to delve deeper into my dreams and aspirations.
Emiel van den Boomen, Travel Blogger at the Act of Traveling – On not wasting time looking for answers on the Internet
Sometimes you are stuck. Sometimes you need advice for your personal or professional situation. It takes a lot of time to search the internet trying to find answers to the questions you have. How do I deal with lack of motivation? How can I successfully negotiate with my boss for more salary? In what ways can I increase awareness of my blog? Just some examples of various questions you might have.
I was lucky to win a free coaching session with Farnoosh! Honestly, I never before had a talk with someone about personal issues and challenges. The weird thing was that at the end I realized my issues were not one of a kind. My issues were not totally unique; others had traveled the road I was about to hit.
In the coaching session, Farnoosh turned out to be someone with experiences in many fields, business as well as personal. In that one-hour, we touched on multiple subjects, losing not a single minute of time. I realized I was not alone out there. It is great to discuss your challenges with someone who wants to listen. In the end, it is the interaction between people that creates the added value.
Stephen Budd, Aspiring NY Times Best Seller author - On Publishing and Marketing a Book with Coaching
Deciding to hire a coach from the internet is a weird proposition; at least it was for me. There are always all kinds of questions and concerns. Would there be any value in this? Do I really need a coach? Can this coach actually help me with my specific goals?
I have always seen myself as a self-sufficient person. Asking for coaching was not easy for me. I began reading Farnoosh’s blog and immediately felt she had something to offer. So I took the leap and inquired about her coaching sessions. That easily led to my decision to hire her.
The original reason I even inquired was because she has a great online presence in the blogging world. I was a little concerned though because my primary goal was not my blogs, but to publish a best seller. Farnoosh understood my goal and provided great insight and direction. She made herself available to me and all of my concerns. She gave me a lot of homework but it all made sense by the end of our coaching sessions. She even stayed in touch when she was on the other side of the globe!
I am glad I took the leap, because I finished that book and have a publisher now. Farnoosh gave me the guidance I needed and some inside information I never knew about publishing. It was the push I needed to cross the goal line.
Sean Cox, an experienced Life Coach - On concrete, practical blogging and business advice
Farnoosh was great for two reasons. First, she gave concrete, practical advice that was very helpful and that I could move on right away.
Second, I appreciated her generous and friendly spirit. She seemed to care about my project, which is as important to me as the content and advice. I would highly recommend Farnoosh to anyone wanting to improve their blog and build online business.
