Here is a link to the News 10 Blog, this entry is written by News Anchor Kelly Jackson about my appearance on the show.

I also have a new quiz on my web site - http://www.jumpstartyourmarketing.com/quiz
Take a quick couple minutes to really help yourself figure out what type of business model is right for you to start. Starting a business can be easy, it can have to do with your passions but it truly needs to also be based on a model that will make you money or what's the point, right?

Will you be on my call with David Neagle?

I told you I was going to bring you a bunch of F.R.E.E. teleclasses this year - here's the info on the second one!

I learned from the last one that I needed a bigger phone line to hold all of you - my goodness, the response has been terrific. (Did you miss the Jan 15 f.r.e.e. jumpstart your business teleclass? You can hear the reply, scroll down to the PS's in this email!)

I'm just so excited to get one of MY OWN MENTORS on the line with you this time. I have coached 1on1 with David Neagle all during 2008 where I made some HUGE SHIFTS IN MY BUSINESS AND MY LIFE!

What he teaches and HOW he teaches it is unlike anyone out there. I call him "The Secret on Steroids" because what he teaches is beyond what the movie is, there is sooooo much more. He gives you the why, the what AND the how on how to totally transform your life.

Register for the call now

I've been to his Experience the Reality of Succees seminar twice now and I'm headed back this March and bringing my boyfriend and my VA - it's that good! (Here's a pic of me and David in Palm Springs at one of our mastermind meetings last year.)

So, when I asked David what he would like to present to you (since it's hard to really capture what he's all about in ONE hour), he wanted me to share with you what he thought would be the BENEFITS to YOU of participating on this call:

By participating in this Special Teleclass with David Neagle, you will learn:


· What to do when you feel that the reality of your circumstances will not permit you to achieve your hearts' desires in the time that you wish to achieve them, so that you can get out of your own way and make the shift now!

· How mistaking Intellectual Understanding for True Belief will cause you to revert back to old behavioral patterns the moment discomfort appears, and ultimately stop short of achieving your goals.

· When faced with multiple opportunities or choices, what are the four questions to ask and answer, so that you can choose the course that will lead you most quickly in the direction of your goals, while remaining committed to your life's purpose.

· How the connection between fear and illusion causes chaos in your life, and how to bring awareness and truth to your problems, so that you are able to quickly and confidently identify the solutions that already exist.

· To identify the 3 components of Belief, so that you can transform intellectual concept into Belief, and create instant manifestation in your life.

· Why the Nature of the Universe is crucial to the success of your
business, and how to align your actions to that Nature, so that you can remove the element of time from the achievement of your desired results.

· How opinion, reaction and judgment are no match for Faith as a tool to bring Truth to a situation, problem or circumstance, and how to strengthen your Faith in your ability to create all things.

· About instant manifestation, and why the concept of affirmations is incomplete and therefore ineffective on it's own.

After you sign up, you will receive an email with the call in details so mark your calendar now and get ready to learn some new tools and business building techniques!

Hurry, there are only 200 phone lines available for this call, the rest can listen from the web! Sign Up Here!

(I will be giving registrants the recording link after too in case you can't make it live).

Register here now for the February 11th Teleclass with me and David Neagle at 5:00 pm PST.

Here's to creating and enjoying the life and business of your dreams!!!

P.S. So, are you registering for the call? If not you better not be whining that you're not getting enough business or 'times are tough' for you right now because I'm telling you, what David teaches could and probably WILL totally force you to take make some HUGE SHIFT in your life or business. (a good shift!) This is a DUH moment right here; I know you're busy but take 1 Hour and work ON your business for once will ya? Sign up for the Feb 11 Teleclass now silly!

“JumpStart Your Business Right Now – Get More Clients, More Money and More Free Time for Yourself!” ,part 4

For those of you who really need some alone time to rejuvenate and prepare to get back to business, try a weekend retreat for yourself. Go away from your home and your office for 2 days, stay over night if you can in a hotel or spa retreat to gather your thoughts and plan the coming year.

During this retreat, you will want to write down every idea or creative thought that comes into your head. Then you want to plot out on a big calendar any annual events, promotions, sales or focuses for your business. Along with those, you will want to outline timelines or deadlines for needed tasks or items in order to accomplish those such as book a hotel conference room for the client appreciation event and order and send invitations. Plot those on the calendar too allowing ample time to accomplish each item. Don’t forget to add in your personal vacations and family time too – you have to do this to keep balance in your life for sure but if you don’t calendar it right off the bat, that time gets eaten up doesn’t it??

Your client base is your most valuable marketing resource so keep adding to it, following up with everyone on it and work them for repeat business and referrals and you will succeed. If you keep reaching or spending money trying only to get new business and forgetting about the old contacts and clients you will most likely fail.
Now, get networking

Furthermore, if you want help jumpstarting your business, I would suggest signing up for one of my JumpStart Your Marketing coaching services or a 1 Hour Business Brainstorm Session! You can find out what those entail and how they will benefit you on the products page of my website at http://www.jumpstartyourmarketing.com/

“JumpStart Your Business Right Now – Get More Clients, More Money and More Free Time for Yourself!” ,part 3

Take some public speaking courses, do a lot of practicing in front of the mirror or a friend, or you can even join Toastmasters or a business referral organization which will help you fine tune your 10, 30 or 60 second commercial. If all else fails or none of this appeals to you, too bad, do it anyway.

Let’s face it, running your own business is tough, you don’t always get to do the things you like to do, sometimes you have to do the things you don’t like to do – so get used to it and fake it ‘til you make it.

The trick to networking for those who are shy or who don’t like crowds or small talk is to ask a lot of questions and ask for other people’s business cards. Don’t worry about talking about yourself or passing out your cards, just worry about the other person and getting their card. Ask them lots of questions about them, their life, their business, their target market, what kind of referrals they like to receive, etc. Because you can always follow up later and send them your card and info!

An important thing to remember when networking is to make sure you wear a clear, professional nametag so when you’re busy talking about other people and what they do at these events, they can still read your name, business and what you do on your shirt so in case they are interested in what you do, they will ask.

So, now that you’ve started networking, doing your follow up and the leads and referrals might be starting to trickle in, what else is there? How are you marketing your business? Do you have a written marketing plan that you refer to and update on a regular basis? If not, write one. There are free seminars offered in most cities by the SBA or other Business Centers who are there to be a resource to small business owners or of course that’s something I can help you with too in my 1 Hour Business Strategy Session

“JumpStart Your Business Right Now – Get More Clients, More Money and More Free Time for Yourself!” ,part 2

To effectively follow up with new prospects, new contacts or anyone in general you can do any or all of the following:

Mail a handwritten note with your business card “It was great to meet you, let’s get together for coffee to see how we might be able to work together. When are you available next week?”


Send a personal email “It was great to meet you, this is what I do now tell me what it is that you do so that we might be able to refer business to each other.”

Make a phone call to say “It was great to meet you, how could we help refer business to each other?”

Not only do you need to follow up with these people within 48 hours of meeting them, but you need to follow up again and again and again. Find new approaches each time, ask them questions, ask them for coffee, mail them a list of your services, drop off a promotional item and your brochure or email them an article you read that you thought they might be interested in.

Persistence is the key. If a lead is really warm to hot, you will want to follow up or contact them at least four times. If they turn you down at all or tell you no, keep trying different angles, kill them with kindness, refer a potential client to them, show them you give without expecting to receive. Most of the time, with persistence, you can win the sale or meeting.

Now, I can hear some of you thinking, “Ok, the follow up isn’t the problem, it’s the actual networking, talking to people I don’t know in a big crowd.”

Well, what I say to that is get over it!

“JumpStart Your Business Right Now – Get More Clients, More Money and More Free Time for Yourself!” ,part 1

Do you need to get back in the swing of things with your business after the holidays and not sure where to begin?

Are you feeling stuck on what to do or where to do it?

Well, the first thing I would tell most of you is to get networking! Jump right up from your desk, bring a stack of business cards and attend some events pertinent to your business right off the bat. This is the best way to generate new leads and new contacts; just do it, don’t think about it. This might be tough or uncomfortable and you might want to ‘ease’ your way back into those circles, but don’t do it. Otherwise it could take you up to three months to get back on track.

Get networking now to chamber events, trade or association meetings, business events or expos – anything where your target market will be. Afterwards, you’ll be forced to follow up and the whole marketing cycle begins again!

Follow up you say? What’s that? Well, in my experience only about 5% of small business people do this on a regular basis, however it can be the single most effective way to attract and retain new business and referrals. What are you waiting for? No one is going to do your networking or your follow up for you.

Christine Kloser's Freedom Formula Experience


This week I'm headed off to Christine Kloser's Freedom Formula Experience in LA and it will be fun because it's a totally different kind of business event, about half business, half spiritual.

If any of you are also going to be attending, email me back and let me know! I know that many of my clients are going to be there but are you?


Then the following week I was invited to be the guest expert on our local News 10 station - they have a segment called News 10 Live Online where we sit by the computer and take questions from viewers but they promote it via the noon day show too somehow...not sure but you can tune in LIVE from anywhere I believe at http://www.news10.net/

"6 Keys to Starting a Business on a Budget" (or revitalizing the one you have), part 1

Are you Making Ends Meet?

If not or if you're tired of doing what you're doing, why not bypass the regular job market if you're having trouble and start up your own business?
No it's not easy to start up a business and yes you need to have some level of motivation and determination in order to be successful.

However there are so many business models that can be entered into with little to no start up funds - some online, some offline - the opportunities are endless if you have the desire and drive to control your own destiny and flexible schedule!

Here are 3 of the 6 Keys I See as a Place to Start when Starting Up a New Business by Yourself on a Limited Budget:

  1. Choose a business model and industry where it's proven to be able to make money almost regardless of what the economy is doing

  2. Do something you're passionate about so that you are excited to get out of bed in the morning to get to work, provide your service or promote your products (this is 2nd to finding something that will make money...for a reason!)

  3. Set up effective systems and the right business structures FIRST in order to be able to leverage and maximize your time and money

I'll share the other 3 in my next blog post.

It's important to find what truly makes you tick; what lights your fire and then how can you turn that into a money-making, successful, lifestyle-oriented business so that you want to jump out of bed every day knowing your life is fulfilled, happy and you're giving back!

Of course, I can help you with this; this is what I do best!

However if you want to get started yourself now, for the New Year, really on the right track then think about these 5 things to expand your thinking a bit:

        1. Your choices create your outcomes

        2. Your habits create your outcome

        3. Your environments create your outcome

        4. Continually raise your 'money thermometer'

        5. Have a BIGGER WHY!
        (These were some notes I took from this year's Online Blueprint Success Workshop and I wanted to share them with you because it made me think too, why else am I here and why am I really doing what I'm doing? Luckily, I'm right on track to inspire, motivate and educate YOU and tens of thousands of other entrepreneurs this year to think, play and be bigger than ever before!)


        Want help figuring out what really lights YOUR FIRE and then make some changes so you can live a BIGGER WHY in the New Year??? I'm really good at developing all this stuff for you based on designing the business around the type of lifestyle you want to live to you know.


        I highly recommend for this type of brainstorming, coaching and development you get into my Private 90 Day Coaching Program, however you can always start out with a 1 Hour Strategy Session too if you want to 'see' what's possible first.

        Go check out my services - but don't just READ about them, TAKE ACTION and DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF THIS YEAR!

        "What's Your Why?", part 1


        My friend Lisa Crisalle asks this of all her new clients, she's a lifestyle transformation coach (fitness, nutrition and more). It makes sense for this reason of course, why would someone want to take on a new weight loss program, etc. but...

        Why are you in business for yourself? (Or why aren't you yet, if that's the question?)

        Why are you doing what you're doing?

        Is it for your desires, passions, purpose or to serve others, help people, give your gifts or is it simply to make money? All of these answers are good answers.

        But what gets you out of bed in the morning with excitement?

        Is it what you're doing now or do you find yourself hating what you're doing? (or what you've got yourself into that is?)

        Our WHY is actually one of the most important reasons we should be in business.

        Yes, of course we want to make money and for many of us that may drive us to some extent. (and making money very well should be the #1 priority in your business when you do start one or when you restructure your current one)

        However, the WHY is what truly drives our creative juices, passions and purpose and what ultimately makes YOU a happy person able to enjoy your life to the fullest extent.

        I've found over the last few years in coaching all kinds of entrepreneurs - new and seasoned, that many of them aren't completely HAPPY when they first come to me (but we fix that!). They don't typically jump out of bed each day with excitement in what it holds and how they're driven to do more, learn more and be more.
