W01.01 January 1st - Welcome to Day 1 of Jeremy’s Free 3 Month Workshop!


I am on holidays now with my kids, wondering how I can help you for the coming year. So I grabbed some time off by sending the kids searching for manga (comics) at the Bookoff shop across the river, while I settled down in Starbucks in Kyoto to let you know my new blog plan - you are going to love it…

I will work the 12 steps with you. (Does someone out there get my joke?) Yes, I will go through my 12 step plan to financial success as an Alexander Technique teacher - taking one week with each step. This will help me produce the content for my new course in Japan from April, 2013. You are the lucky beneficiaries of my effort!

Please help me do this by writing to me - tell me your story, using the 12 steps as a guide:

  1. why you are doing this?
  2. what is your niche?
  3. where do you practise from?
  4. describe your service product…
  5. who are your mentors?
  6. url of your website (or explain why you don’t have one?)
  7. are you writing?
  8. what is/could be your back-end business?
  9. what is frustrating you?
  10. how are you marketing and selling to people now?
  11. what’s the upside of your personality?
  12. who else could you work with?

Every week I use one blog to illustrate the 12 steps in one person’s situation as I did with Jonathon before the holiday break. I will try to choose people who illustrate most clearly the step we are working that week.

Please email me your story to jeremy@bodychance.jp. I already have a few people that I have starting working with - why not include your self on that list? I will close the door on this free offer once I have enough material, so get your Self off to a coffee shop soon…

Grab me while I am still free!

    Really interested, Jeremy - thank you. Something to look at in the morning when I get back from family stuff. Could you possibly clarify 'back-end business' to me though? I realise that, despite it being a familiar phrase, now it comes to it, I'm unable to truly nail it!

The Blog Is Dead, Long Live The Blog

It’s 21.09 on April 30 th 2013 and I am finally sitting down to write my goodbye post at this site. If you have arrived here by word of mouth, or search, this blog has a rich and diverse archive of over 300,000 words on how to make a successful career as a teacher of Alexander Technique. You can spend many fruitful hours browsing my 12 Step Plan for Financial Success As A Teacher of the Alexander Technique. I have a facebook page, or you can click here and sign up for a free email seminar on my 12 Steps. In this blog you will find the full version of these ideas, 12 case studies of Alexander Technique teachers, and lots of practical ideas and suggestions for getting more financial oomph into your teaching practice. Of course I am still coaching – but not here any more. I have opened up a new membership site, sign up for the email series and I will put you in touch with it.  I have already built a strong community of teachers. To be part o

A Tale Of Trust and Vulnerability

Years ago in Sydney, I woke up in the bed of a strange man. It’s not what you are thinking - it was the strange man’s bed, not the strange man, that I woke up with. He was sleeping in my bed in another country. And here I was with my wife and two daughters, living in his home, driving his car, sleeping in his bed, using his bathroom – and I did not even know what his face looked like. I only found that out when I woke up, looked across the room, and saw him in a photo with his wife on their wedding day. How could this be possible? We were doing home exchange. He was sleeping in my bed in Kyoto. He was driving my car. He was looking at my wedding photos. We trusted each other, because both of us were made vulnerable by the other’s actions. This is the principle I am using to design my new membership website. To get in, you need to be vulnerable and open, willing to share, willing to be honest. I may not be charging you money yet, but I am actually

Day 27 – WorkStep Twelve: Go It Alone, Or Make You A Team?

Talk to any small business owner and ask: “What is one of your biggest headaches?” and (s)he’s always going to reply: “Employees.” The art of employment is an art of business: get the right team, and a lot of your work is done; get the wrong team, and spend many late nights bailing water out of the boat. Brett is in Tokyo now, checking out BodyChance as part of our planning for BCLA. I have no hunger to do anything in LA. It’s fine by me to do nothing. That frees my thinking to look at many possibilities, without getting stuck on any one of them. Looking at Brett, and thinking he may join the BodyChance team, I asked him a fundamental question, and I think it is a question every teacher needs to ask: Do you want to run your own one person business, or do you want to build a business with a team of people? Alexander Technique is ideally suited to the former – make your Self a one trick pony. Be the guy who does “eyes” or “runs” or “golf” or whatever n
