Let’s Work Together

I serve as a Clarity Guide.

Usually, when you’re experiencing some form of stuckness in your work, getting an infusion of Clarity is the first step toward returning to flow. You know, flow – when your work has just the right balance of ease, and challenge, and fun.

Why you want to work with a Clarity Guide:

The biggest reason is because a guide can get you to clarity faster.

If you’re feeling fuzzy about what you’re working on, sure, you can find your own way to Clarity Land eventually. But an expert guide can help you find the shortcuts.

And in case there was any doubt, here’s why you want to get to Clarity Land:

Love your work more. Depending on what’s not working for you in your current situation, that might mean changing what you work on, or the way that you work on it. It might mean finding a new Thing, or just tweaking that one project so you can love it again.

Create a plan that’s perfect for you. When you’re clear on what you need and want, it’s so much easier to create a plan to help you get there. Not some big, overwhelming plan. A plan that’s simple, with bite-sized steps for you to take.

You don’t have to “just get over yourself” to get things done. The more you can be yourself at work, in all your unique glory, the more you’ll enjoy it. You’ll doubt yourself less, so you’ll accomplish more. And when you get stuff done, that’s when the monies can come in.

Instead of fighting with your business and your projects, you’ll all be working together. When you’re clear on what you want to accomplish, and your business and projects are aligned with that, you’d be amazed at how quickly you can get stuff done.

It’s not easy and it won’t happen overnight. But with the right help, and a willingness to learn and practice and get out there and try things, it’s doable. Really.

Here are some of the things that we can work on together:

Finding your Thing

You know what you’re doing now isn’t “it” but you don’t know what you want to do instead. I’ve been there, and learned lots of tools and techniques in the process of finding my Thing (and training to be a life coach). I’ll share all my hard-earned wisdom to help you figure out what it is you really want to do.

Creating your Thing

You have a pretty good idea what you want to do, but are stuck on bringing your business to life. Such a big project can seem mysterious and overwhelming, but I’ll use all my project management experience to help you create a simple plan to move forward, with clear, manageable steps. You’ll know exactly what you need to do to create your business.

Supporting your Thing

Once your Thing has been born, it needs your care to help it grow. Usually that means creating products and services to help your Right People – such as an ebook or a class. It can be easy to lose your momentum on these projects and wind up stuck. I can help you love your project again so you can get it done and bring in the monies.

Here’s how I help:

I use all my skills, experience and superpowers to help you gather information, remove obstacles, and make a plan to get you where you want to be.

That’s exactly the kind of work I did for over 10 years as a computer programmer. I had to become very good at asking questions and reading between the lines so that people got the solutions that were best for them.

When I contacted Victoria for help finishing my ebook, I wasn’t sure how she’d be able to help. Every time I looked at the files on my computer, I would get incredibly anxious, as though my business would totally collapse if I didn’t have a product ready for sale on my site YESTERDAY.

The minute we got on the phone together, Victoria calmed me down. She had a way of clearing away the junk so I didn’t keep getting worked up into a panic. I came away from our sessions with a clear path to what I wanted to create. Instead of avoidance and procrastination, I had an action plan.

Victoria was like a friend who wouldn’t let me backslide. I knew in our next sessions she would want to know what I had accomplished. That accountability was huge for me. Two weeks after our third session together, I released my ebook.

I would absolutely recommend working with Victoria. If you’re stuck, it’s a small price to pay to get over a major hurdle.

When I was really frustrated with my website, I asked some Twitter friends for advice. People began offering solutions, but I realized that wasn’t the feedback I was looking for.

I have no idea how Victoria did it, but by asking a couple clarifying questions, she helped me see that the site layout wasn’t the problem. The real issue was clarity on the underlying theme of all my posts.

Rather than telling me what to do, Victoria helped me clearly see the best solution. As a result, I avoided a costly redesign. And my business has since grown because I’m so clear on my message that I can’t resist marketing myself.

Her ability to hone in on the crux of the problem so quickly really blew me away!

Ready to get started? Here’s what to do next:

Choose the option that’s best for you and pay using the buttons below. Once I receive payment, I’ll get in touch to schedule your first session at a time that works for both of us.

If you’re not quite ready, yet, that’s cool, too. We can hang out on the blog, or you can sign up to receive the 30-day Shmorian Project Protection Prescription right in your inbox – my treat! Or, if you know you need help with Thing-Finding, you could check out my Thing-Finding Kit.

Shmorian Strategy Session:

This option is for people who need clarity and strategies, and are good at following through on their own. For example, maybe you need help getting unstuck on finishing that ebook, or want some help narrowing down what your Thing might be. It’s also for people who want to do one session with me before investing in a package.

After signing up, I’ll send you a brief questionnaire. Before we meet, you send back your answers (I won’t be grading them – they can be as long and ramble-y as you’d like). The more information you send me, the more progress we’ll make during the session.

I’ll use my clarifying mojo to help you get to the essence of what you want and need right now. You’ll know where you are, and where you want to go. And you’ll leave with at least 3 concrete next steps and strategies for moving forward.

Includes:
• One 60-minute one-on-one session by phone or Skype
• MP3 recording of the call
• My notes of recommended next steps, strategies and resources

You can take those next steps and work on them on your own, or we can keep working on them together.

Shmorian Strategy Session: $195

Shmorian Project Pack:

This option is for people who want to make bigger changes and want support and accountability as they implement their plan.

If we’ve never worked together before, the first of the three sessions will be similar to the Strategy Session above. The remaining two sessions (or three, if we’ve already worked together) will be working sessions.

As you begin putting your plan into action, we’ll talk about what’s working and what isn’t. We’ll dig deeper into strategies and techniques to keep you moving forward. If you get stuck, I’ll help you get unstuck. As you learn more about how you work best, we’ll tweak the plan, if needed.

Includes:
• Three 60-minute one-on-one sessions by phone or Skype
• MP3 recordings of the calls
• My notes of recommended next steps, strategies and resources
• Email support between sessions

Three-session package: $495 (that’s a savings of over 15%)

Wait! I have questions!

Cool. I usually have answers. Ask away in the handy form over here. Or see if I’ve magically predicted your question and answered it below:

How does this Paypal stuff work?
When you click the button, a new page will open where you can log in to your Paypal account. If you don’t have a Paypal account, there’s a link on the left side of that page near where it says “Don’t have a Paypal account?” Click it, and you’ll be able to use a credit card to pay for your sessions. Once you’ve paid, you’ll receive a receipt by email. I’ll also receive an email, letting me know you’ve signed up. Then, I’ll email you to schedule our sessions.

Shmorian? What’s Shmorian?
It comes from my Twitter handle, which is victoriashmoria. Then people began calling me Ms. Shmoria. But then I started using it as shorthand for my philosophy of combining the best parts of being logical and rational, while still honoring the feelings that come up when we try to make big changes. Sort of like the perfect blend of left-brained and right-brained thinking. Or what you get when you cross the troubleshooting skills of a computer programmer with the empathy of a life coach.

What’s it like to work with you?
Glad you asked! You can read what more of my clients have said about me over on the Testimonials page.

What’s your cancellation policy?
It’s pretty simple. If you must cancel your appointment, I need at least 24 hours advance notice. Your session time is reserved for you, and you are responsible for full payment for any session canceled, missed, or rescheduled within 24 hours of the appointment.
