Hey there, Today I want to encourage my entrepreneur readers who are doing or considering email marketing with a few suggestions to help you increase your email conversions. One of the most important concepts I learned in Montego Bay is to always include a “CTA”, a Call To Action. In effect, we ask people who are interested in learning more to “raise their hand” and let us know that they are and why they think they will be a good fit with us. These individuals are our most engaged audience. They are letting us know that they are interested. Second, […]

Hey there, Just sharing some joy now! Got the phone call I've been waiting for this morning from Nate Rio in Malaysia, congratulating me on my first “big” commission. I knew that this business system was the real deal, not a get rich quick scheme, but a solid business system to be leveraged. So, I got to work with enthusiasm and persistence and in the past few months started seeing some real results, the kind where you get emails telling you that commissions have been paid into your eWallet. Even so, we all enjoy proof, don't we? Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm6-KaCMI8M […]

Hi there, I spent most of my adult life trading my time for money, lots and lots of it, in fact, years and years of it! As a Cardiovascular Registered Nurse with a couple of stints of management over the 30 years that I worked in the hospital, hours were long and the work absorbing and demanding. As a single parent, there was no real end to the responsibility and the actual tasks to be accomplished. Vacations were few and far between and had to be planned about 6 months in advance. Getting coverage with expertise in the specialty areas […]

Hey there, I have to confess that I cannot think of any time that I have had as much fun learning as in the Diamond Mastermind in Montego Bay. First off, we learned from some real masters there! When I say masters, I mean entrepreneur superstars so real that they are delighted to share information with others about what is working for them in their businesses right now! Also, we met lots of fellow entrepreneurs and we all had a wonderful time there beyond time in the conference room actively learning, while meeting and greeting, filming ourselves and each other, […]

So, I was listening to a Gary Vee YouTube talk. I enjoy him. He's obviously VERY smart and kind of a wise guy too, and he's funny. His language is a little over the top for me, so I'll try to distill this without all the “F” words he uses when he talks and get the meat of the ideas for you. Gary Vaynerchuk's 10 rules for success: Bet on your strengths and don't bother at all about what you are not good at. Focus on what you are good at and put all of your time, effort, energy, and […]

My Private Facebook Group – Katie's Encore Career Entrepreneurs If you are interested in an encore career as an entrepreneur, you might have no idea at all where to start. I sure didn't when I got started! Here is a bonus YouTube video addressing that very dilemma that I recorded a little while back. Take a listen HERE I've set up a private Facebook group as a place where my “peeps” can go for encouragement, tips and tricks, to ask questions and find answers, and to share with other like minded persons. My private Facebook group is by approval only. […]

Persistence And Little Tiny Baby Steps Sometimes all the persistence one can muster is to take a few little tiny baby steps at the close of a day that has seemed very long in many ways. Don't underestimate the courage that this requires! If today is this kind of a day for you, then give yourself proper credit for extending yourself enough for those little tiny baby steps that you are able to take. Some days are just like that and I hope to encourage you to carry on, doing even just that one simple thing that you are able […]

Starting Where You Are… So, I've been thinking about starting where you are. It sounds terribly silly, doesn't it? I mean, let's be real! Where else can you possibly start? The thing is that most of us actually do try to start somewhere else instead. We try to start “ahead of ourselves” which inevitably leads to frustration. First we need to know where we are now, and we need to know WHO we are now. There is something magical about this whole equation once we get it going. Seeing clearly the difference between where we are now and who we […]
