ATTENTION:

People Who Want To Start Their Own Business While Honouring And Accommodating Their Chronic Illness or Disability

-- But Can't Seem To Get Started

"I've been exactly where you are today. 5 years ago I was unemployed, on a laughable disability pension, feeling no passion in my life and completely directionless.

5 years later I'm running a successful Life and Business Coaching practice, and absolutely loving the lifestyle I've built with my business. Now I'm helping others to follow in my footsteps."

Let me ask you the following questions:

Are you living with a chronic illness or a disability that seems to be consuming your life?

Are you feeling pushed aside as a result of your health and its impact on your prospects for traditional employment?

Have you invested years into a career only to have been forced out by your health or your employer during what should have been the prime of your life?

Are you yearning to get back to making a living and feeling like a contributing member of your family?

Do you feel certain that you have much to give and want to make a difference in your life and that of others?

Are you clear (or at least semi-clear) that owning a business of your own is the answer?

Are you uncertain of where to start? ...not sure how to put the pieces together?



If you answered "YES" to 3 or more of these questions, then you'll most definitely want to register for this ground-breaking, life-altering, quick-start business development program!

Just because you're living with chronic illness or a disability doesn't mean you can't make a living! ~ Really!!!

Let me tell you a little about myself...

5 years ago the state of my health was dictating every day of every week during the good times and every minute of every day during the bad times.

I felt hopeless and feared that this was all there was to life; managing doctors' appointments, watching my husband's life as if it were my own and living day to day with no prospects for anything more exciting on the horizon.

Then, after making some proactive choices and pivotal changes in my lifestyle, I discovered that I had more energy than I'd had in a long time.

I tossed around the idea of starting my own business but I had no idea where to start or even what I had to offer.

My first leap of faith was connecting with a Coach; someone who could help me look objectively at my abilities and assets.

Once I clarified precisely what I had to offer the world and tapped into the resources available to me to help me get started, I became inspired to launch my own business.

5 years later I'm running a successful Life and Business Coaching practice helping others to follow in my footsteps and start their own businesses!

I'm here to tell you that it really is possible to create a new life where there was once nothing but pain, fatigue and frustration.

My life has never been more satisfying or rewarding. I have my own life again; my husband watches mine now!


Photo of Tricia SoulierTrish was my coach in the early stages of my business. There were times when I felt so overwhelmed by it all. Trying to operate all departments of a company without the expertise of all departments can be trying at best. Not to mention finding time for balance between business and family or even self care.

Trish helped me to find ways to create the balance in my life. I am able to set boundaries now. Last long weekend I even "closed" for the weekend. I would never have done that at one time. Felt great to have that time for "me".

Most importantly her coaching gives me a sounding board. It can be lonely running a business alone and very important to have someone knowledgeable as well as empathetic to talk to.

I’m grateful to Trish for her support and for believing in me.

Yes, YOU Too Can Learn How To Start Your Own Business While Honouring And Accommodating Your Health With Ease!

Here's a little about the Jump Start To Independence program...

This 12-session, 4-month program is a fast-track to getting where it took me almost 2 years to journey.

I've packed all I've learned through many, many months of trial and error into an easily achievable 120-day program!

With the added bonus of having other new business owners participating as well, you'll benefit from the synergy that comes from working and collaborating with a group of like minded individuals all working towards the same goal.

The course will cover everything from defining your product or service and designing healthy work spaces to setting up record keeping and tracking systems that are simple and effective. We will discuss your branding and how to tailor marketing strategies to capitalize on your abilities and strengths while ensuring that your health is accommodated.

In the end, you'll have a fully developed business vision that has the potential to fulfill your wildest dreams for a rich and rewarding future that both honours and accommodates your health challenges.

Does it sound like this program could be the best 120-day investment that you've ever made? I promise you, it will be!



Photo of BobThere she goes again, making further refinements to her ground-breaking coaching program. In our time together so far, my sessions with her have touched on a wide range of topics; far beyond my original goals for this work.

I’ve appreciated the value-added feeling I get with Trish’s approach as she consistently over-delivers with enthusiasm. I know that this is because she loves to help others grow and ‘change their pace’ and because she’s been walking her talk for years.

Each phone connection with Trish has unfolded into a creative blend of either what I was integrating or stuck on and yet she never missed an opportunity to keep things on track. The nudge of homework between sessions really helped me to stay focused and better organized.

For over a decade now, I have appreciated knowing Trish and seeing her life unfold. She is a pioneer; someone who exemplifies powerful creativity and the natural ability to live and do whatever is required with gusto.

Now, let me ask you this:

Do you have an average of 5 hours per week over the course of February, March, April and May?

Do you have a product or service that you've thought about marketing but had no clue where to begin?

Do you have a telephone, a computer & Internet access?


If you answer "YES" to these three questions, then you've got all it takes to give this program your all! If you sign up now, I'll let you break the cost into 4 monthly payments.

  • How to test various marketing strategies & find the ones that work best for your strengths, abilities and health condition

  • How to build a marketing funnel and feed leads from the top to the bottom to earn your highest income potential

  • How to get serious about unconditional self-care to empower you to maintain balance between work and rest

  • How to build strategic partnerships to bolster your profile in the local or virtual community, growing a network of allies who will recommend or add value to your business

  • How to stay open-minded to the ever-present need to be willing to evolve your product, service or business practices to meet the needs of your target market and your health

  • How to find a way to accept your own success; not having a connection with the dollar amount, or number of units sold, but rather as liberation from a health-driven life to a passion-driven life. This will require a shift in your perspective and an acknowledgment of your fundamental value in life.



  • And MUCH, MUCH MORE...

Listen to Sylvia
I’ve managed to live a pretty full life in spite of the arthritis in my spine. That was until about three years ago when after a very stressful year I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety attacks. I could not function in the easiest of tasks; I’d lost all my confidence.

My doctor put me on extended sick leave so here I was in my sixties, with everything crumbling in front of me and not knowing which way to turn. It was about this time that Trish from Changing Paces came into my life. With her help and guidance I was able to put my life back into perspective and gain back my self confidence.

Trish encouraged me to follow a long-time dream of being a writer. I signed up for a Freelance Writing course with Trish guiding and challenging me each step of the way holding me accountable for completing each assignment until the course was finished.

She helped me to figure out which genre I wanted to write for, coached me around setting-up a business plan, a web site, development of my branding & creating business cards. Trish also challenged me to push myself into networking so as to find other freelance writing positions.

I’ve now worked as a children’s writer, have become a published poet and at present am co-authoring a book about “Living Well with Chronic Illness,” I am also the feature writer on Chronic Illness for http://www.suite101.com/ writing weekly articles.

I would highly recommend that anyone who would like to start their own business hire Trish to coach, guide and challenge them every step of the way. It really worked for me; I am now starting over in my sixties.

You CAN Have A Fully Developed And Ready To Implement Business Vision In Only Four Months... Guaranteed!

With all the information I'm going to share with you in this program, you'll be able to stop worrying about whether or not you're going to be able to get your business off the ground. It really is going to happen!

The best part of all is that we're going to plan your business development to accommodate your health, right from day one!

The most important thing to remember when living with chronic illness or disability is to plan everything else in life around it.

Most people try to make their health accommodate their life but they generally fail because their health condition will eventually rear up and bite them in the butt. They get beaten down so many times that they eventually give up.

I'm going to coach you to plan your life and your business around your health so that when your condition becomes more of an issue, as it sometimes will, everything else will be flexible enough to bend instead of breaking you down.

If this all sounds like I've been reading your mind and anticipating your concerns and reservations about actually finally "putting out that shingle", then I urge you to sign up today!

Proven Tips, Tools and Tactics To Create A Fully Developed & Ready To Implement Business Vision


Listen to Peg


Jump Start to Independence has been a vital tool in organizing my business in ways that enable me to be productive without stressing my limited endurance. I have a significant physical disability (Spinal Muscular Atrophy), and I am a Life Coach working to build a solid practice from my home office. Jump Start helped me to look at all aspects of my business in a systematic manner, and to set my business up in ways that maximize my abilities and accommodate my needs.

In addition to receiving Trish's expertise in balancing work while honoring health concerns, during the course I benefited from the valuable insights and creative solutions of other business owners with disabilities and chronic health issues. As a person with experience primarily in human services, the practical aspects of developing and running a business, such as marketing and financial management, explored through the course have been especially important to me.

I heartily recommend Jump Start to Independence for any person with a disability or chronic health issue who is starting a business or struggling to make an ongoing business profitable and enjoyable!
