Case Study

My dream of expanding my clientele and creative interaction was lost. I didn't have a sense of place or belonging. I had no allies, mentors, or even rivals. I was lonely and I needed a sense of vision or mission.

FINANCIALLY VULNERABLE AND CAPTIVE

I had ONE big client. I was being abused and I wanted to distribute my risk. I desperately want to tell them to shove it --and quit. Things were not irreconcilable but I didn't like being bullied because I needed the work.

Every year I made less money. My self-esteem was in the toilet and it made approaching potential clients almost impossible --I was on a losing streak.

FEAR WAS MY MIND KILLER

I'm self-taught. So I suffered feelings of inadequacy about my skills and authority. Fear that I was "faking" caused me to doubt my intuition, creativity, and intellect. Fear was numbing my sensitivity to aesthetics. I was "blocking"up.

CREATIVE INTERACTION AND DISCOVERY

From talking and emailing with Terri (over a three month period), I found a new life enhancing feeling. I started "simplifying" my life to make creativity "bigger" and more natural.

PERMISSION TO FAIL

At Terri's recommendation, I started doing more experimental creative activities to find direction. I started "mining" all the dormant creative projects I'd left sitting on the shelf. I was taste-testing everything again. I began examining my FASCINATIONS and possible MENTORS and the skills I had MASTERED. I began to understand better my own creative methods and strengths. Terri was the catalyst.

Terri Sterling provided ENCOURAGEMENT for me to take time to create and explore. She gave me permission to fail without being laughed at. She was supportive and helped me look at alternatives I hadn't thought of before.

CHANGE CAUSES ANXIETY

Terri's input triggered a realization that there is no positive change without anxiety. I had to move out of my comfort zone. This is a difficult process when one is "comfortably miserable or numb." Terri showed me life needs a BALANCE in everything. I began to decide what I did and did NOT do.

TERRI MADE A DIFFERENCE

Terri was selling hope. She was patient as I vented my frustration, anxiety, and made plans for the future. Her suggestions were thoughtful and unique. They made a difference.

INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE

What can I say? Terri is a guardian angel. Her input got me through the creative blocks and back on track to making money (a lot more) --and I was still doing creative activities I really loved. Her counsel was a life changing event.

Terri paid back my investment many times over. My report may seem too good to be true. I assure you my story is genuine. You can contact me anytime to hear the praise I have for Terri and her wonderful mind.

I promise Terri can help you, too.

Sincerely,
