Ann Carden Helps Business Owners Find and Monetize Their Expertise

By: Small Business Trendsetters

Most successful business owners fail to recognize the potential for creating a coaching or consulting business based on their experience, knowledge, and expertise.  They are in business making widgets or providing client services but never realize that the experience and expertise they have developed over the years is an untapped new source of income.

By sharing their knowledge and experience, business owners can build their brand, and establish themselves as thought leaders in their industry while generating a new revenue stream.

Ann Carden realized this while working as a business coach for small business owners after spending over 30 years starting, growing, and selling five previous businesses herself.

She noticed many existing coaches and consultants were making costly mistakes and struggling because they invested in coaching programs, coaching companies, and certifications to become a coach or consultants versus using their experience, expertise, knowledge, and skills to make money.

This realization led Ann to see a need for something different in the coaching industry. She then stepped away from coaching small business owners to helping existing coaches, consultants, and highly successful business owners and professionals turn their expertise into a high-profit $250,000 – $1,000,000 coaching or consulting business working with clients for high-fees.

Don’t Think of Themselves As Experts

Most business owners don’t think of themselves as an expert. What they do seems easy and normal for them, but it has incredible value to others.

It’s not until Ann helps them see their valuable experience, knowledge, and expertise and how they can sell it in the market does the light bulb moment happen.

They realize they have everything they need within themselves to coach or consult. They only need to learn how to package, price, market, and sell that to build a $250,000-$1,00000 revenue stream, which is where Ann’s expertise shines.

From Starting 6 Businesses

Ann is a serial entrepreneur herself. She started six businesses from nothing and has built her consulting & coaching business into a global company and brand.

She’s done everything from building teams, designing and creating products, and managing multimillion-dollar P&L’s.

Just like she now coaches her high-end clients to do, she had to figure out how to package and price her expertise, experience, knowledge, and skills. She had to define her niche, get the right messaging, and build a global brand that resonated with her market and grow beyond a million dollars with high profits. This is what her “Expert In You” Method and programs are designed to help others achieve.

It All Starts with a FREE 3-Hour Live Virtual Event

“Building an ultra-high-end coaching or consulting business with high-fee clients is not for every business owner”, Ann explains. “There’s certain things that must be in place, but when they are, I love watching my clients excel.”

She hosts occasional live virtual events that business owners can attend to see if becoming a coach or consultant with their expertise and experience to add an additional $250,000 – $1,000,000 in revenue would work for them.

There is an application required to ensure the method taught is a fit.

If you’re wondering if you could build a coaching or consulting income around your expertise, apply to attend Ann’s next workshop at ExpertInYou.Expert or visit her website at annlcarden.com
