HOME BASED BUSINESS TRAINING FOR ENTREPRENEURS

YOUR HEROIC QUEST TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL PASSION-BASED BUSINESS BEGINS HERE...

New home-based business training program. Step through the door to access all the essential training and support you need to discover and transform your hidden talents and attributes into a successful business

STOP US IF ANY OF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR...

Trapped inside you are great ideas for a passion-based venture. But you don't know where to start. Furthermore, you haven't a clue how to turn your ideas into an actionable plan...
Over the years you've spent countless resources trying to figure out what makes your heart sing. As a result, you're sick of being misled, lost, or confused...
Something in your life is changing, giving you time to start a home-based business. However, you don't know what services to provide or whether anyone will want to pay your for your expertise...
You're wanting to become a thought leader in your community, but you struggle to write content or figure out how to successfully share your expertise

If you've ever started on a Heroic Quest or Transformative Journey, then you already know what a minefield it can be searching for quality advice and support

THAT'S WHY I AM BUILDING THIS PLACE

I'm Deb Donnell and my mission is to empower you to discover your untapped talents and attributes.  And then use them to pursue passion-based ventures through building a home-based business.

Over the years I have become fed up with hearing stories about good people with valuable gems hidden inside of them, just like you, being left stuck.  They have been let down in their pursuit of discovering and sharing their valuable treasure, thanks to:

Villains, tricksters, and shape-shifters who promise the world but deliver very little once they have their hands on your cash...
Allies who mean well but don't walk their talk. Amateurs who provide free or low-cost tutorials that bore you to death. They give you mind-numbing instructions. Or they share unproven theories that are never backed up with real-world case studies that you can identify with...
Multi-millionaire Gurus and Celebrity Influencers. They live glamorous lives on Social Media. And they sell high ticket or over-priced courses that make big claims about helping you build your dreams... Just as long as you have unlimited resources to outsource to their production and marketing teams...

Thankfully, all of that is nearly behind you...

MEET OUR FOUNDER, DEB DONNELL

home based business training Keswin Academy founderHello and thanks for taking the time to learn whether we are a good fit for each other.  So, I'm going to share a little about me, and why I founded KESWiN™ Academy.

In 2003 I had a vision that one day I'd create a safe online network for people like you. In short, my goal was to guide individuals to discover the treasure hidden within them, then share it through passion-based businesses. However, at the time, I didn't believe I had the skill-sets or expertise to mentor others. Nor did I have the capital for the technology to build the online platform I wanted.

Therefore, I have dedicated my life to this mission since then. As a result, I developed the KESWiN™ Entrepreneurship System, and the Diamond Publishing System™. More importantly, I have created a solid framework which makes the Transformative Journey easier and affordable for you.

Consequently, I have over 20 years experience in personal development, publishing, online marketing, and web-development.  KESWiN™ Academy is the result of my commitment to achieving my 2003 vision.

Gen-X Girl with a Non-Traditional Dream

My journey really started in childhood. I'm the introverted Gen-X Dreamer in the family.  My siblings are all Baby Boomers and my parents are born in the Traditional/Silent Generation.  Around the age of ten, I decided I wanted to be a published author when I grew up.  However, I was told to get a nice safe job, find a husband, and raise a family. That's the advice most Gen-X and Baby Boomer girls were given, right?

So, my working life started out in New Zealand's banking industry in the late 1980s. It was one of the safest jobs I could find. Unfortunately, it didn't make my heart sing. So, after four years, I quit and traveled to the United Kingdom for two years. This Overseas Experience (OE) is pretty much a rite of passage for young adults in New Zealand. Once in the UK, I found a job working in publishing. I loved every moment of it. Unfortunately, I had to return to New Zealand after two years, and ended up working in banking again. But after six years, I'd had enough. So, in 1999, I left banking to pursue my dream of becoming a published author and helping people to transform their lives.  In order to support myself, I worked in my parents' jewelry business, and worked on my dream in my spare time.

Rebel with a Strong Purpose

Fast forward to 2009.  After graduating from an online marketing mentoring program, I co-founded the first version of KESWIN™ Academy.  Together with my US based business partner, we coached small groups of members in our online training academy.  First, we helped them to identify a profitable niche through keyword and market research.  Next, they built a self-hosted WordPress website, and set up social media pages.  Then, I taught them how to write, edit, and publish original, quality content.  Following this, they shared the content and marketed their services and affiliate products.  As a result, they began earning income from their online, home-based businesses. 

This was still pioneer days of digital marketing. However, we understood the importance of publishing original, quality content in order to rank well with both search engine and human visitors. We walked our talk, and proved it would work with our own successes.  We were guest speakers at a live event in Portland, Oregon, USA.  By late 2010, our business was ready to scale up.  I was on track to achieve my goals set in 2003.

Then Everything Fell Apart

Just like in the Hero's Journey, an unwelcome challenge tested my commitment and resolve to my mission.  Unfortunately, a violent earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand in February 2011.  At the time, I was working in my parents' jewellery store, right in the middle of the CBD.  Buildings collapsed around us.  People died, or suffered debilitating crush injuries.  Somehow, my parents, co-worker and I escaped unscathed.  However, the impact on my offline world was enormous.  As a result, I had to temporarily resign from the online academy.  Consequently, without my involvement, my US based partner closed the academy down a few months later.

Having a Strong Purpose Helped Me Survive

The loss of everything that had meaning to me almost broke my heart.  However, I refused to give up.  Although the earthquake shunted me onto an eight year detour, I was determined to rise from the rubble.  Therefore, while rebuilding my offline world, I continued to work on my dream and fill in gaps in my KESWiN™.  More importantly, I used my skill-sets to help the crush injured survivors, and some of the rescuers tell their stories. 

Some of the successes I had included:

  • Volunteering with the Christchurch Earthquake Survivors Trust Charity to raise funds online.
  • Co-authoring a book to share the New Zealand Response Teams' Christchurch Earthquake Deployments story.
  • Independently publishing several best-selling books on the Christchurch, New Zealand Earthquakes and ongoing rebuild.
  • Mentoring solo-business owners to self-publish books, and providing Web Development and Content Marketing Services to clients.
  • Completing my Gemological Institute of America (GIA) Diamonds Diploma—this means I can identify, grade and value natural diamonds*; and
  • Studying NLP** to deal with my earthquake trauma, learn how to run my own brain, and guide others through their personal development journey.

* You may be wondering what natural diamonds have to do with identifying what makes your heart sing.  I based my Diamond Publishing System™ on the journey natural diamonds make from creation through to being set into and sold as a fine jewelry item. I also use the metaphor of diamonds for the undiscovered treasure you have buried and hidden deep inside of you.

** NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, which is a geeky way of describing a branch of self-actualisation psychology which is a powerful personal development tool.  I qualified as a NLP Master Practioner (IANLP) in 2018.

Release Your Trapped Diamonds and Unleash Your Potential

KESWIN™ Academy is Version 3.0 of my 2003 vision (V 2.0 was Writing Diamonds Academy which ran from 2013 through to 2018).  This time, I am the sole-coach, trainer, and mentor - for now. I have some support crew, and from time to time, guest experts may present training material.  However, I want to keep member numbers small so I can give you the personal attention you need to succeed. Consequently, I'm very excited about having the opportunity to mentor you, and hope that you decide to join the Academy.

Most importantly, when you become a member, I welcome your feedback.  One of my values is mutual empowerment.  Specifically, when my mentoring empowers you to release your trapped diamonds and grow to your full potential, it also helps me grow too. Therefore, I'm looking forward to guiding and supporting you on your Transformative Journey.

Be the Hero of Your Story

Deb Donnell

"I’ve accomplished more and written more than I did before. It’s a supportive environment, where I have peers helping me gauge where I am in the training. I receive help when I need it, and we can bounce ideas off each other. The knowledgeable trainers and coaches guide us through the Internet business maze and demonstrate that they actually do care about us achieving our goals.”
—Felicia Waren, Sunrise Cookies, USA

4 WAYS TO LEARN INSIDE KESWIN™ ACADEMY

We have three levels of membership available:  PQ Library, SI Community, and VS Group Coaching.  All levels have immediate and full access to the following learning options:

YOUR QUEST MAP

Tailor our step-by-step guide to fit your unique Heroic Quest.

Your Transformative Journey is made up of many stages to reach your potential and achieve your biggest dream.  We provide you with a Quest Map template and a guide to identify and set achievable goals for each stage of the journey.

Think of the Quest Map as your action plan, and our community as your allies supporting you through each stage of your Transformative Journey.

Access articles and short courses that cover essential stages of Transformative Journeys.

All levels of membership can access articles and short courses, which contain all the training you need on topics from goal setting through to business building, through to authoring non-fiction books.

We are adding new content every month as members move through the progressive stages of their personal development, entrepreneurship and book publishing journeys.

Home based business training

Our PQ Library is full of step-by-step how-to guides to help you through common traps and obstacles.

All levels of membership can access our PQ Library.  These downloadable pdf guides are succinct, and coach you through different steps of personal development, entrepreneurship, and book publishing journeys.

Essentially, they fast-track you through different stages of your Transformative Journey, saving you from the expensive time and financial costs having to figure complex, technical, or risky processes on your own.

* Originally produced as Writing Diamonds Academy (V 2.0) Guides, they are being updated and rebranded for KESWIN™ Academy (V 3.0), with new pdfs being added all the time!

Checklists, Worksheets, Audits, Templates, and more.

To help you quickly apply the material in our articles, courses, and PQ library resources, we provide you with checklists, worksheets, audits, templates, and lots more.  These are usually linked to in the training content, and can also be accessed in our PQ Library.

From time to time we also post Vanishing Guides covering a range of topics.  These often cover new content being developed for release to our premium level members, which we make available for a short time to all members.  We do this to get constructive feedback from everyone before restricting it to premium members only.

PLUS PREMIUM LEVEL MEMBERS GET ACCESS TO:

 

Home based business training and coaching

EXPERT KATs DEDICATED TO YOUR SUCCESS

Our KATs (KESWIN™ Academy Team Members) have gone ahead of you, researching and testing what leads to success.  Now they are committed to helping you achieve your quests, from setting goals, to developing strategies and plans, and implementing them.  They are on-call to all premium level members to answer questions, help you break through blocks, and keep you motivated and inspired to achieve your dreams.

As mentioned, for this intake, I am personally guiding, coaching, or mentoring you (depending on your membership level).  However, our KATs are my support crew, including some members from V1.0 and V2.0.

FRIENDLY, SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY OF ALLIES

Self-Invested Heroes on Transformative Journeys achieve success faster when traveling with like-minded allies.  Therefore, the fellowship that develops in our global community is outstanding.  Members have been known to travel half-way across the world to meet in person.  However, most network, connect, develop friendships and leverage off each other's knowledge, experiences, skill-sets and wisdom within our community.  Additionally, we have regular live, interactive online events, and, where feasible, offline catch-ups.  We keep our community limited to less than 250 people.  This keeps the Academy safe, supportive, and nurturing. 

Being part of a friendly, results-focused community of allies is one of the key secrets to long-term success.

IN-DEPTH ADVANCED TRAINING COURSES

Our series of advanced training courses take you step-by-step through each stage of the KESWIN™ Entrepreneurship System and Deb Donnell's Diamond Publishing System™.  Each stage covers a minimum 12 weeks' training, and can be taken progressively, or as a standalone course, depending on where you are in your Transformative Journey.

SI Members self-drive their study, with access to our KATs to keep them accountable or help them through obstacles. 

VS Members are part of a success-focused group of up to 10 members, guided in weekly online workshops by our Founder, Deb Donnell, with private forum and email support in-between.

PREMIUM DOWNLOADS & APPROVED VENDOR OFFERS

Premium level membership includes a range of downloadable tools such as checklists, cheatsheets, workbooks, planners, templates, etc. These complement the advanced training courses, as well as aiding you in your fast-tracked journey to success.

Also, we provide a market place, where third party vendors can advertise their tools, products and services.  Deb Donnell goes to great lengths to ensure these are first road-tested and approved by her.  KESWiN™ Academy will never recommend any third party offering or vendor if they don't meet our quality standards.

Members who graduate from our advanced training courses can apply to be vendors and advertise tools, services or products in our market place.  This is all part of our commitment to your ongoing success.

INTERACTIVE LIVE WEBINARS AND WORKSHOPS

You can interact with our Founder, Deb Donnell.  Additionally, you can ask questions - and have them answered - in a live environment.  This encourages success for all of our members.  No question is ever too dumb!  Because you can bet if you need to ask it, other members need to as well.  Most importantly, questions give us valuable feedback on where we need to improve our training material.  Therefore, in order to build a win/win environment, we provide live, interactive 90 minute Q&A webinars each month for SI Members.  Furthermore, VS Group Coaching Members attend weekly 90 minute online workshops.

Don't worry if you can't attend.  We try to run these sessions at a time that fits most time zones (usually 1:00 p.m. North American Pacific Standard Time). 

However, we realize this doesn't work for everyone.  So we also record all live webinars and workshops.  Then we make the recordings available for you to watch when it suits you (subject to your membership level).

...All of this and much more ONLY inside the Academy

NOT SURE IF KESWIN™ ACADEMY IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

We know that KESWIN™ Academy is NOT for everyone.  And to be honest, we'd prefer to help you figure out now if we're not a right fit for you BEFORE you join, rather than waste your time.  So, let's clarify who will get the most value from our membership...

WHO THE ACADEMY IS FOR

Individuals choosing to discover the valuable treasure they have hidden inside of them, and who have a desire to create a service based business.
People with life experience and maturity. They have time available to commit to the journey of identifying their hidden value, choosing a profitable passion-based niche and establishing or growing their authority brand.
Gen-X and Baby Boomers experiencing a change in circumstances, looking to create security, freedom and income through their own efforts, rather than working for someone else or relying on the government to look after them.
A person who wants to release a non-fiction book trapped inside them. Our training is designed to help you transform writing rocks into published diamonds, if you are willing to put the time and energy into the writing, editing, and publishing process.
Someone with basic computer, Internet and writing skills and looking to develop their skills to a more advanced level. Accessing the Academy on a desktop or laptop is preferred.
Action takers who take ownership, responsibility and accountability for their efforts and results. We provide the training and resources, but you still need to do the work to progress through the modules and achieve success!

WHO THE ACADEMY IS NOT FOR

People wanting a turn-key system which will fast track them to wealth. If you think this is the way to riches, we're not the right choice for you!
Dream chasers wanting to use smoke and mirrors to be a social media influencer or a multi-million dollar guru. A genuine authoritative, thought leadership brand is built on honesty and authenticity.
Techno-Savvy individuals who believe in putting all their content and intellectual property in the "Cloud" is the right thing to do. It's not! We take your safety, security and privacy seriously, and so should you.
Novice writers who want to publish the next best-seller fiction novel or earn full-time income from writing pursuits. There is no such thing as overnight success, and it takes years of hard work to achieve "best-selling" status, or a living from writing.
An existing business looking for a done for you solution. We're NOT a website developer, content marketing or book publishing service. We will NOT build your business for you!
People expecting guaranteed results. We know our training works (because we walk the talk) but we can't guarantee specific results when you follow our advice. Truth is... no-one can make that promise or guarantee!

You probably think it's odd that we are trying to talk you OUT of becoming a member - but if we're not a right fit, then no-one is going to benefit.  We truly want to see you succeed, but as with any Transformative Journey, it's up to you to do your due diligence and take the action steps required to get the results you desire.  And, that starts by making sure KESWIN™ Academy is right for you before you join.

When you join as a member, you will not only agree to our Membership Terms and Conditions, our Policies and Procedures, but also our Membership Promise:

 

REAL HEROES ⇒ REAL JOURNEYS ⇒ REAL SUCCESS

Frequently Asked Questions

So, you have questions?  Check out our FAQs for answers...

We focus on individuals who are looking to identify the valuable KESWiN™ (Knowledge, Experiences, Skill-sets, Wisdom, Ideas, and Narratives) hidden inside them, and transform it into a passion-based, authoritative business through service delivery, content marketing, and book publishing.

That said, we have members who are looking for personal growth, or to record their personal history to hand down to the generations that follow.  Our content is not one-size fits most; it can be tailored and adapted for personal, hobby, or business use.

Absolutely!  The training is broken into several Heroic Quests, each one progressing from the previous one.  The first Quest focuses on personal development, identifying your KESWiN™, establishing your "Why", and aligning your values with your goals.  As you begin to get clarity on what is important to you, and the value you have to share with others, you will discover a diamond mine full of ideas and topics to write about.

The next Heroic Quest focuses on finding a profitable niche and building an audience for your book, while you write it.  You'll learn about content marketing, and growing a fan base (audience) whose encouragement will keep you going through the writing, editing, and production process.  Follow our step-by-step instructions in each module, and you'll have sold copies even before you launch your new book.

Not at this stage!  We did consider developing a platform for members to build their online hub on.  However, we realized it is more important to focus on providing you with the training on how to do this, rather than do it for you.  We will guide you through the process of choosing an external platform, marketing software and other necessary tools and resources to build your online hub with.

To give you a heads-up, we recommend WordPress hosted on a Cloudways VPS for your platform and ActiveCampaign for your marketing software.  We provide you with basic technical training on these and other recommended tools so you can build a stable, secure, and professional online presence.

"Are you green and growing or ripe and rotting?" – Ray Kroc, Businessman

Assuming you want to keep growing your home or service based business, then the Academy can help you with fine tuning your business plan, branding, digital, content marketing and book publishing strategies; as well as supporting you with working towards your future goals. This is certainly not a "beginner only" community - far from it! We've helped established clients scale their businesses, so there's plenty of expertise on offer that you'll benefit from in your continued growth.

All Members get access to everything in the PQ Library Guides, Foundation Courses, Articles and more straight away!

SI and VS members get immediate access to the SI Community.  Advanced courses are progressive, and are 'drip-fed' to you when you complete each step.

VS Members are assigned to a group, and 90 minute online workshops are run on a weekly basis, where you work through the training material step-by-step with your coach.

There is plenty for you to start making use of from the moment you join.  We also regularly update and add new material too - so your content library will growing with you on your Transformative Journey.

Good question, and the answer will vary depending on your Heroic Quest, goals, and available time to study the training material, as well as carry out the assigned tasks and activities, in order to move forward on your project.  The following guide may help you choose your membership level:

Your Available
Time Per Week		 Recommended
Membership Level		 Study / Tasks
Less than
7 hours		 PQ Library Topic based, short guides and courses. On demand learning. Work at your own pace, outsource some tasks, and consume the content you need only when you need it.  Suitable for people who are "testing the waters", or need the material available to PQ Members to complement a specific project, an existing business, hobby, or other venture.
7 - 17.5 hours SI Community Progressive training, advanced courses, live events.  Community learning. Work through step-by-step processes and systems, interacting with peers in the community to get and/or provide help, support, and feedback.  Work on your business, at your own pace and capability.  Suitable for individuals who are working on a part-time business or other venture.
More than
17.5 hours		 VS Group Progressive training, online, interactive coach-lead online weekly workshops (90 minutes in length.  Group learning. All members of the group work on the same step, learning together while building individual businesses.  This holds everyone accountable to and for each other; and the group progresses only when all members have completed assigned tasks and activities.
Suitable for people who can invest time and resources required to start-up and work on a part or full-time service-based business.

 

We recommend that you schedule a block of time each day to study the material and carry out tasks and activities to move forward on your Transformative Journey, regardless of your membership level.

SI and VS Members:  You ask questions and get advice, support and feedback any time from within our community.  We also run monthly live Q&A sessions, where you can pre-submit your questions, or even ask them live.  On top of that you can also get private support from our KATs via our Success Department. This alone is worth more than the price of admission!

VS Members:  You also have access to all the help and support you need in your weekly workshops, and in between from your Group Coach and peers.

PQ Members:  You can get admin support via our Success Department.  For one-on-one help and support specific to your project, we have a pay-as-you-go option available.  Alternatively, we can refer you to one of our approved third party vendors if you prefer, or you can choose our own.

It's time for you to answer the Call to Action. Simple as that. If you really want to be the Hero who seeks the treasure hidden within you, and shares it via a passion-based venture or business, through providing services, authoritative content and non-fiction books, then you need somewhere to get answers to all of your questions - especially the ones you don’t know you have yet. You need support, community, and most of all... accountability!

KESWiN™ Academy is that place. If you really want to share your hidden treasure and make a difference, the time is now.

No - KESWiN™ Academy is entirely online.

We know you will LOVE KESWiN™ Academy.  However, if for whatever reason you're not 100% satisfied in any way we have a Peace of Mind 30 Day Money Back Guarantee (no questions asked).

We want you to succeed, and know that if you become a member and really put your heart and soul into your Transformative Journey… you will achieve your Heroic Quests!

We want you to be satisfied, and succeed, so if you don't feel you are getting value or the support you need, please discuss this with us as soon as an issue or concern arises.

We do our best to match you with like-minded members at similar stages, and on similar journeys to you.  However, we understand that occasionally we get it wrong.  So if you are unhappy, please talk to your Group Coach, or one of our KATs, and we'll move you to another VS Group, where possible.

Our Peace of Mind 30 Day Money Back Guarantee applies to all levels of membership, so if you do want to cancel your VS Group membership in the first 30 days, we'll refund you.  Alternatively, you can also consider downgrading to SI Community or PQ Library membership. There are plenty of options as we want to ensure the fit is right for you.

Obviously we'd love it if all of our members stuck around forever - but we've worked with membership sites for long enough to know that that's never going to happen! So, if you do decide to cancel obviously we'll be very sad, but if you're intent on leaving then you'll be able to do so by having a quick chat with our Success Department. Naturally, we'll ask you for feedback and if there is any concern or issue we can remedy to encourage you to stay.  If we can't, then we'll wish you well on your journey.

No. Your membership entitles you to enter the members area and access the content there released prior and during the duration of your membership. If you cancel or do not renew your membership you will no longer be able to access the content inside the Academy.

Yes! While our infrastructure and technology training focuses mostly on WordPress and ActiveCampaign, the majority of the content in the Academy is not tech based at all.

The bulk of our training focuses on important topics such as personal development, business development, authorship/content marketing development, product development, growth strategies, and more. All these topics are far more important for your Transformative Journey than what tech is used!

As such we have a number of members who don't use WordPress and/or ActiveCampaign but still find the Academy content incredibly useful for achieving their Heroic Quests.

SI Members:  Our KATs provide Tech Support for quick fix issues and tools we recommend.  However, if the issue will take some time to fix, or requires more expert support, we will refer you to one of our approved third party vendors (at your cost).  We will advise you if this is the case.
VS Members:  As above.  Your Group Coach can also provide tech support, refer you to our KATs, or an approved third party vendor (at your cost).
PQ Members:  Unfortunately your membership fee does not include KATs Tech Support, however, you can access them through a pay-as-you-go option.  Alternatively, we will refer you to our approved third party vendor (at your cost), or you can use your own preferred supplier.
Sometimes the technical issue may be something we cannot fix or do not support/recommend, i.e. they may be related to bugs in third party software, platforms, your hardware, Internet connections, etc.  Where this situation arises, we will advise where you can go for further troubleshooting and tech support.

Unfortunately the answer to that is no.  We only provide you with the training and guidance for you to identify, undertake, and complete your Heroic Quests.  However, you have access to a rich resource library.  In our training, we will recommend free, or low cost tools, where possible (with a caveat that there is always a hidden cost with "free" software, platforms, etc.).

Premium level members can also access our Market Place, with offers from approved third party vendors.  We do allow approved vendors to market their products and services through our email correspondence, often for a small fee.  In some cases we earn an affiliate or referral commission - and we will advise you of this when applicable.  Note:  Income from our third party vendors help us to keep membership fees low.  All third party vendors must go through a quality control process before being approved to market products and services to our members. This means you will only be presented with offers that will provide useful solutions on your Transformative Journey.

Over the years we have built much of our online presence through using a mix of free, low-cost, and premium services, tools, and resources.  Our experiences (both good and bad) are part of what makes being a member with us so valuable... you get to avoid most of the mistakes we made (some of them expensive, others painful!), and achieve success faster than we did.

Most of the content in KESWiN™ Academy is only available to Academy members with an active subscription.  However, from time-to-time, we do release mini-guides through our sibling company, KESWiN™ Publishing Ltd.  You can view the catalogue here.

Definitely! You can upgrade or downgrade to a different membership level any time by contacting our Success Department. They will take into account the time left on your current subscription, to make sure you are not double charged.

We’re not currently offering a trial. However you can contact us to organize a behind the scenes tour with one of our KATs. They can also answer any questions you have, and discuss any concerns or issues as well. Book your tour here.

If there's anything at all you're not certain about, anything we haven't made clear, any concerns or questions, then please do contact our Success Department and one of our KATs will help you out.
