WE DECIDE IF REJECTION FITS

When we are rejected, whether by an agent, or a conference, some person on Facebook or a nit-wit in a one-star review on Amazon, how we walk away from it is all on us. We determine how bad we feel when someone kicks us in the gut. We can double over and just lie there, thinking what victims we are and how this shouldn't happen to us, or we can shake it off, stand up, and try again. Frankly, when we stand up, we have a much better chance of winning the day than sprawled across the ground refusing to try again.

Yea, yea, you've heard all that, and it's easier said than done. You know, the standing back up stuff. After all, aren't we just getting shot, then standing back up to be shot again? Maybe.

But sooner or later, those people run out of ammo.

I had a real pity party this week. Hey, didn't I have one of those not too long ago? Yes, but there are all sorts of ways to be rejected, you know. And about the time you toughen up to one form of it, another slaps you from behind.

This time, I actually sat down with a cup of coffee and asked myself some pertinent questions because I didn't like how this situation made me think. I was not chosen for a speaking engagement that I'd spoken at before. And it's laughable now, but I caught myself seeking ways to criticize the event and the players involved rather than looking in the mirror. Childish.

Then I asked myself: Do you feel like a lesser person because you didn't make the cut? Is that the problem? Did they make you question yourself, make you think you were on the wrong track?

Then I asked: Is there anything in this situation that would make you change who you are and what you do? Are these gatekeepers important enough to alter your path?

We don't like to think of ourselves as substandard. But sometimes it's as simple as we don't have the right connection. Sometimes the person in front of us made the cut and filled the slot. Sometimes who and what we are isn't the who and what someone else needs for the job.

Was I ready to change something major as a result of that particular rejection? Sometimes a rejection is a sign we aren't our best, but not this time. My husband tried to tell me how they didn't merit me, which was sweet. Who doesn't love a good cheerleader? But instead I took my coffee cup back to the computer and kept on working. I could think it's their loss or they're stupid or they don't deserve me, but that makes me a type of person I don't want to be.

I was a square peg for their not-so-square hole. Better to spend my energy seeking square holes.

Facilitating Workshops to Boost Your Income

By T.L. Champion

When we contemplate writing a book, we think about a novel full of mystery, intrigue and drama. But have you thought about writing a book that zeros in on your professional expertise, then packaging it with workshops to increase your monthly income?

When I started a monthly workshop series four years ago, I decided to leverage decades of experience as a writer and writing coach to help beginning and professional writers. By offering innovative content (like “how to achieve an earth-shattering story climax”), I have created a tribe of followers, while developing a sense of community for local writers.

Use a Multi-Faceted Marketing Approach

In facilitating workshops, you need a multi-level marketing approach to promote them. I rely on a simple, effective system that combines three marketing vehicles:

1) online newsletters (I use Constant Contact), 2) online partners, and 3) public speaking.

Each of these techniques serves as an important component in creating a comprehensive marketing strategy to promote my workshops.

Online newsletters are a great marketing tool for workshop facilitators, but they’re only effective when paired with a database of qualified prospects (people who are interested in your subject matter). This is where having a multi-level approach comes in handy. Build your database by finding where your prospects congregate using the two other marketing vehicles mentioned earlier: online partners and public speaking.

Where Do Your Prospects Congregate?

Over the years I’ve found MeetUp.com to be my best online partner to attract new workshop attendees. In fact, attendees actually find me by searching for activities they’re interested in attending (like wine tasting, hiking or writing) in their community. My workshop postings on MeetUp.com effectively boost attendance at my workshops (attracting up to 50 percent of new attendees) and my monthly MeetUp.com membership fee is only $19.

Giving presentations to writing groups and libraries also promotes my workshops. I include a promotional offering geared specifically for my target audience – like hosting free coaching clinics. This approach builds my database (for the online newsletter) and relationships, since it’s a great way to meet writers on an individual basis to assess their goals and challenges.

I have several clients who use similar techniques. One client, Pat, is a retired nurse who’s written a book about the communication gap among doctors, nurses and caregivers for the chronically ill. As soon as her book published, Pat developed workshops centered on her knowledge and decades of service. She used her 24-chapter book to plan monthly workshops for two years in advance. The workshop reinforces the message of the book, and the book reinforces the workshops.

In addition, Pat gives profiles and assessments to family members concerned about their aging parents, to discover what level of care they need. Facilitating these workshops helps Pat establish herself in the community as a local expert. Caregivers come to her for advice, and they trust her expertise because she can address everything from finding the best doctors to knowing when to sign up for Medicaid and Medicare.

If you’re a writer who wants to earn more income, take advantage of your years of professional experience by writing a book, and then facilitating workshops to showcase your expertise. This strategy will boost your reputation in the community and position you as an expert on topics that have helped you earn income in the past.
