Spiritual teachers: don't outsource Marketing until you can ensure the values that it expresses
Many spiritual teachers, coaches, and healers fall into the idea of "means to an end"... let the marketers do whatever they do to get us an audience, so that we can do our "real" work with the clients...They don’t understand that their marketing itself is impacting many more people, compared to the smaller numbers who sign up to work with them.
