Astrology as a Profession: Building a Successful Practice

REGISTER HERE

Whether you are just beginning your professional practice or already have one underway, this workshop is for you.

We recognize that the transition to being a professional astrologer is not always an easy one since as astrologers we are primarily self-employed. This means that in addition to expertise in astrology, we need to have all the skills necessary to run a small business. So, here's everything you need to know about starting right in order to position yourself for success by improving your practice and adding to your bottom line.

Here's some of what we'll cover:
  • Marketing and Public Relations
  • Practice Building
  • Accounting and Business Know-how
  • Time Management and Goal-setting
  • Writing and Teaching
  • Consulting Skills
  • How to incorporate your business and whether or not that's a good choice for you.
  • And with special guest, Sharon Leah of Llewellyn Publications: How to Get Published
Let successful astro-entrepreneurs share with you their secrets for success and fulfillment in your own practice. Presenters include Madalyn Hillis-Dineen, Joyce Levine and Grace Morris. Fee: $125.

Technology for Astrologers

Tools, Tips, and Trends for the 21st Century


Make your choice from one of two great workshops to be given at this time, depending on your current level of knowledge and your needs:

Information Technology for Astrologers: This basic class will help you to learn the ins and outs of Windows Explorer and introduce you to the MS Office Suite of Word, Excel, Power Point and Publisher. You’ll also learn how to send and receive email attachments and how to use your computer to record your consultations as MP3s. Fee: $30. Register for this workshop here.

Or…

Using technology to Grow Your Astrological Practice: The home computers of the early 1980’s were a boon to professional astrologers by both allowing them to save time in calculating their charts and experimenting with new techniques and calculations. Now, the tools of 21st century technology are just as significant for the professional who wants to reach a broader market. This workshop starts with teaching you how to record your consultations but also includes how to teach a class on line, design a web page, and produce your own podcasts. Fee $30. Register for this workshop here.
