A Member's View On My 30 Day Challenge…

by Jeremy Chance

As I close the door to my 30 Day Challenge – we get started tomorrow – I wanted to share with you what new member Kit wrote to me yesterday:

One of the big opportunities you are offering is the chance to turn their approach around. Most AT teachers come to teaching from the point of view of helping others. AT attracts missionaries and carers.

What you are saying clearly here is - what is in it for me? A business has to be built on the business owner's needs.

My 30 Day Challenge - Do It!

by Jeremy Chance

I haven't started my 30 Day Challenge yet – that launces September 1st - but already 15 Alexander Technique teachers are signed up and busy sharing their ambitions in my exclusive FaceBook group for this "will do" month of action-taking.

This is for both teachers and trainees, anyone who wants to start thinking creatively about getting a better practice.

Me Being Brutally Honest With Me About You

by Jeremy Chance

Good morning (to those on my time zone at least).

I am happy to announce that 5 teachers have so far signed on for my 30 Day Challenge and are already posting in our FaceBook group. If you don't know what I am talking about, go and read yesterday's blog at this link.

My 30 Day Challenge To You

by Jeremy Chance

Now I have freed my Self up from how I was running this website, the ideas are flooding in on how I can run this website. My problem before was motivation – I ceased to be excited about "having to blog" every day on "the 12 Point Plan". Now I am going to approach this from an entirely different perspective. My 12 Point Plan is alive and well, but I have stumbled upon an exciting new experiment for us both to participate in.

BodyChance Opens in America

by Jeremy Chance

So I surprised them all in Los Angeles, walking in unannounced from Tokyo on the BCLA Opening Night last Friday (August 23rd 2013). I made a dramatic speech, letting everyone know they were witnesses to history in the making. I truly believe that; one day they will be proud to say: I was there when BodyChance launched in America.

BCLA's Opening Day Scuttlebutt

by Jeremy ChanceWith 1 Comments

Tonight my new Centre in Los Angeles (BCLA) has it's opening party, and some AmSAT members gone rogue have discovered their own peculiar way of welcoming BodyChance to America. I don't usually bother with politics, but I can't resist commenting on a letter that was sent out this morning to all the Californian Teaching members of AmSAT (American Society for the Alexander Technique).

Touch

by Jeremy Chance

I must say I miss the discipline of writing a blog every day.

This morning in the shower I was especially disappointed that I did not write the series on Service Product, which was due for August.

Developing A Marketing Vision

by Jeremy ChanceWith 2 Comments

Busy writing today for BCLA.

It's another reason I had to put this blog to one side. Every day, I decided, I will write another email for the three different E-Zines launched as part of BCLA's marketing program. Each email is only 500 words, but sometimes I spend 2 hours writing just one of them.

Can you guess which of these three E-Zines has proved most popular with the American people who are searching Alexander Technique these days:

London Workshop Testimonials

by Jeremy Chance

I needed a break from blogging.

It is summer after all, right?

Anyway, I've been regrouping my thoughts, reconsidering this website, and wondering about my next move. I still have 9 Pro Members that this website serves – my Japanese students on CareerThinking in Tokyo. So I continue the Pro level for them. Then I thought – well, why not continue the Standard too? So I decided to re-open again. Not that I care much if you join or not – the amount of money I ask you to pay is not worth my worrying about.

Silly boy aren't I?

My Next Act

by Jeremy ChanceWith 6 Comments

Well, I have been thinking a lot about my next step.

I haven't given up blogging here. I have given up maintaining the intensity of what I had been doing the last 10 months. For some of you that could be a relief – there's already almost half a million words in this blog to read, and there may be a lot you've missed.

Thank You All!

by Jeremy ChanceWith 1 Comments

What an amazing trip this has been.

I want to thank you all for your participation, your passion and your commitment to you in pursuing your dream to make a professional, paying, Alexander Technique teacher's life. I understand the difficulties involved, and I look forward to meeting some of you next Sunday in London.

I never set out to make money with this blog: my primary intention was to get into contact with possible partners of BodyChance so I could expand into other countries.
