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!

Tomorrow: One thing that Tibetan Buddhists and Madison Ave Advertising Executives agree on…

    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 One Thing Your Website Needs To Do That Most Alexander Technique Websites Fail At: 15th Letter to BodyChance Students

This is the 15th letter to my students in BodyChance in Japan: helping them to think in a way now that will ensure they build Alexander Technique careers that will nurture them in the future… SUBJECT: The One Thing Your Website Needs To Do That Most Alexander Technique Websites Fail At. Dear Seito-san, Alexander has a fabulous story – do you? I was scouting around Alexander Technique websites recently, and I came across one teacher who is telling his story. Go to his top page and first thing you see is… not about Alexander Technique (no-one really cares anyway) not about Alexander himself (thank heavens!) nothing about his studio or lessons (they’ll ask when they need it) Instead, what first hits you is about: •     Your back problem – credible medical authority says “It can be fixed.” •     Teacher's back problem – empathetic person ready to help you out. That is the kind of simple, eleg...

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.

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 pa...

Minister For Everything

I am a cowboy at heart, not an intellectual. I try to make it look right, but it's not really me. It's a constant struggle, as many of my goals depend on an enlightened mind that understands and can navigate so many different worlds: business (me?!), neuroscience (me?!), anatomist (me?!), language (hopeless at Japanese still), writing/communication (this), Buddhism and of course Alexander discoveries, with all the pedagogical issues that howl around the propagation of his work. These last two are most treasured and important to me - the study of human consciousness itself, primarily my own, hence by extension everyone else's. In 1996, when I was on the small Working Group that organised His Holiness the Dalai Lama's visit to Sydney to offer the 11 day Kalacharka ceremony, my nickname was "Minister for Everything". It was meant as a derogatory remark to accentuate my maddening tendency to want to know everything about anything. And this has always been central...
