Every summer, I offer a handful of spots for a VIP Day where a client can come for the day to complete\u00a0a large chunk of work. Every\u00a0VIP Day has also created some kind of breakthrough for the client and insightful takeaways.<\/p>\n

We plan a VIP Day weeks ahead and I do my homework to prepare as much as you do. We set powerful goals and an ambitious agenda. And then the magic happens.<\/p>\n

“So, What’s a VIP Day?”<\/h2>\n

A VIP Day is a day custom-designed especially for you. Before we get together for your VIP Day, I’ll send you a questionnaire and we’ll have a one hour phone consultation to prepare. Then, we’ll spend 6 hours, including a working lunch and, if you like, a working walk along Narragansett Bay, mentoring, brainstorming, writing and creating any breakthroughs you need. You’ll leave with a plan of action and two follow up sessions to make sure you use the momentum you’ve gained to continue on your successful trajectory.<\/p>\n

“What might I work on in a VIP Day with Lisa?”<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"\"
There’s nothing quite like working together in person for a generous period of time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The possibilities abound, but here are a few examples of\u00a0VIP Day goals to get you started. Many clients choose\u2014and complete\u2014anywhere from 2-3 of these in one VIP session:<\/p>\n

* \u00a0Conceptualize your book with me<\/strong><\/span>: From big picture vision to audience to features, freshness and foundation, we’ll get clear on what’s going to make your book unique, resonate for readers and make your book sizzle. We’ll also set down the structure to make it easier to write it when you return home!<\/p>\n

* \u00a0Blueprint Your Book Proposal<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Overwhelmed by writing a book proposal? We can go over each section in detail, filling out my book proposal worksheets together, brainstorming strategies. I’ll provide my best tips for each section and you can go back home with all the information ready to be turned into a sizzling book\u00a0proposal. We can even draft a few sections together.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

* \u00a0Polish Your Book Proposal<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Are you ready to take a rough draft and transform it quickly\u00a0into a polished one? Do you feel you need more guidance and support to make that happen? We can do it together, and even\u00a0brainstorm appropriate agents or publishers before you leave.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

* Develop Your Platform-Building Strategy<\/strong><\/span>: Because it’s become essential for authors to develop their “platform”\u2014or following\u2014in today’s market, we often spend part of our VIP-time on ways to build your platform. I like to especially focus on strategies that\u00a0will bring in income at the same time as building a fan base. This is highly customized to your skills, interests, audience and book, as well as what will be enjoyable for you to implement.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0 Write or Edit a Few Chapters Together<\/span><\/strong><\/span>: Many of my clients are not writers by trade. They are doctors, therapists, healers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches, homemakers and others who may need some in depth mentoring on how to write compelling prose. I love helping people become good writers. We can use all or part of a VIP day to fine tune one or more chapters of your book\u2014so you can leave with an understanding of how to write a chapter that resonates for your readers, makes the writing come alive for them, and has them coming back for more. You may just leave saying, “I found my voice as a writer.”<\/p>\n

\"writing
This VIP Day included breakthrough time on the beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

* Create Your Breakthrough<\/strong><\/span>: The Ocean State offers the perfect setting to soak up nature and break through any obstacles, facilitated by your “book shaman.” Whether it’s an issue of gaining confidence, overcoming fear, stepping into your power, or solving a problem, I am here to help you.<\/p>\n

* Develop Your Business Plan<\/strong><\/span>: You may have heard me say that behind every book should be a business plan. For a book to be successful, to reach your goals, your book should pull in the resources that support it\u2014and more! Perhaps you want your book to\u00a0attract high profile, well-paid speaking gigs\u00a0or bring your ideal clients to your doorstep. Maybe your book helps sell other products and programs you offer. And maybe you need to make some changes to your business to make this plan\u00a0work most effectively. We’ll figure it out and get it down on paper. You can leave with a clear plan of action.<\/p>\n

After Your VIP Day: The Momentum Continues<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your VIP Day doesn’t end that day. You’ll leave with a plan for follow-up and completion.\u00a0Your VIP Day comes with two additional consultations afterwards to support you to stay on track and complete your next steps.<\/p>\n

My VIP Day with Lisa Tener addressed my biggest challenges, created breakthroughs with several issues that had been blocking my path and helped me get a huge chunk of work done in one day.<\/p>\n

As a complete novice in writing. Lisa’s Bring Your Book to Life\u00ae Program game me confidence that I could write a book.<\/p>\n

As my next step, I brought my first draft to my VIP Day, where Lisa helped me understand the big picture, the changes needed to make my book easy\u2014and a pleasure\u2014for the reader.<\/p>\n

In our VIP Day, Lisa also introduced me to the marketing process and educated me to build my website and reach potential readers.<\/p>\n

I left with\u00a0 a much clearer idea of editing and how to make the information accessible, effortless to read.<\/p>\n

I love how Lisa paced the day. We started with editing. After, we took a walk\u2014 which was such a pleasure\u2014and explored my personal issues with writing\u2014where I lacked confidence, fear of being seen and fear of success.<\/p>\n

Our conversation helped me feel less intimidated and made the next steps feel do-able.<\/p>\n

After a delicious lunch we looked at the marketing aspects. Lisa educated me about my website, as well as social media, which always intimidated me. She showed me how it can be a useful and friendly tool.<\/p>\n

Lisa helped me honor my own pacing.<\/p>\n

\"book
Engaging Resilience became an Amazon Bestseller!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was a lot of fun. I left with a clear plan of my next steps and dates and a feeling that “this is going to happen for me.”<\/p>\n

And it did! My book, Engaging Resilience<\/em><\/a>, became an Amazon Bestseller and is now making a difference in people’s lives.<\/p>\n

Publishing my book has brought in new clients from unexpected sources, which is fun.\u00a0My dream is to educate the larger bodywork community about the trauma work described in my book. Becoming a published author has started to open those doors as I connect with people in my field who can help me make that happen.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend a VIP Day with Lisa Tener to any author who wants to make a big leap in progress, as well as get over any humps that are holding them back.<\/p>\n
