Our Personal Mentor Programs are for people who are serious about becoming recognized experts in their industries. Although similar to the Group Mentor Program, Personal Mentor Programs take a more intense, customized approach to applying the Get Slightly Famous system to your business.
You'll work directly, one-on-one with Steven Van Yoder to implement specific strategies for your Get Slightly Famous marketing plan. You'll also get added support from our team of experts, who will help you implement your program each step of the way.
Areas we cover can include:
- Fine-tuning your target market and reaching your best prospects
- Developing or refining your marketing message
- Implementing a personal media strategy, including getting quoted and publishing articles in targeted media
- Developing networking, referral and strategic partnership strategies
- Implementing a book publishing strategy and finding a publisher
- Implementing a public speaking and/or teleseminar strategy
- Creating or refining your Slightly Famous web site
- Creating info-products (booklets, tapes, special reports) to boost your income and credibility
- Assistance in launching your own e-mail newsletter and other strategies to help you make the most of the Internet.
We work with a limited number of clients on a personal basis. Mentoring happens over the phone and by e-mail.
Programs last from 6 to 12 months. We meet by telephone and maintain contact by e-mail between meetings for support and feedback. We help you create a strategy and stay on track.
Both ongoing mentoring programs and one-time project arrangements are available.
Should You Consider a Personal Mentor Program?
Of course, a program like this is not for everyone. If you think you can make more progress working as a Group Mentor Participant, and want to implement your Get Slightly Famous program largely with your own efforts, then this approach might be for you.
As a Personal Mentor Program participant, you consider your time an asset and do not hesitate to get outside, expert assistance as needed. You've most likely achieved a level of measurable success in your business and know you need expert, hands-on help to reach your next level.
You should also want to become an expert- level Slightly Famous marketer in the absolute least amount of time, with the least amount of mistakes.
You should consider the Personal Mentor Program when:
- You are established within your marketplace, with sufficient resources, and are ready to reach for higher goals
- You prefer a personalized approach over working in groups
- You are considering a book or other substantial marketing project
- You simply don't have time to implement everything yourself and want outside, expert, on-call assistance to achieve your goals
- You need specific project assistance, such as consulting, editing, or ghostwriting
Here are what two recent Personal Mentor Program clients have to say:
Without a doubt, your advice, tactics, and strategies helped me break into print in two of the best publications that reached my target market. It would have taken me hours of research and a lot of trial and error to accomplish what we did together in a few short months. I got a lot for the money (you should charge more!).

Steven knows the value of a niche and clearly states the importance of branding without sounding cute, contrived, or gimmicky. His approach is that of a tried- and- true professional who speaks from experience. His background in journalism makes him an expert on media relations, and his approach to making yourself famous in your own industry truly works.
I should know--I hired this man to help grow my own company, Creative Visions Consulting, and everything he's done has PAID OFF! If you want practical advice you can immediately apply to your business, THIS is the program! But be warned--these are not OVERNIGHT SPLASHES that create success--what Yoder offers is a SYSTEMATIC WAY to build your business through CONSISTENT and QUALITY exposure.
