Who are you partnering with?
Hi,
I want to talk to you about joint ventures. Simply put, a joint venture is forming some type of partnership with another business owner.
This can greatly increase your business - you can double your contacts, increase the amount of work you can get done, do wonders for your motivation, and the list goes on.
Ok, I have a confession to make. I have not done much in the way of joint ventures. But I keep hearing how beneficial they can be, so I want to get more serious about it.
That is why I am going to buy the Easy Partnerships Course from Kelly McCausey and Nicole Dean, which just came out this week. I know they always deliver great information, so I am excited about it.
Why not join me and get this course while they are still offering it at a $30 off discount? You will learn:
- Benefits of partnering
- Ways to partner
- Where to find partners (joint ventures)
- How to approach a potential partner
- Tips for successful partnerships
Just click on the link below to be on your way to learning a powerful tool you can use to increase your business.
Easy Partnerships
To Your Success,

Do you think you want to be an entrepreneur?
Hi,
Here we are upon another week. I was thinking this morning about being an entrepreneur. Do you consider yourself entrepreneurial material? To be honest, I never did. I never thought about it in those terms. I have always wanted to own some kind of business, but never gave much thought to what being an entrepreneur meant.
It means you are your own boss. There is no one to give you your daily assignments - you need to come up with them. It means you are responsible to start your business, market it , keep it growing, etc. Some of you will say "no thanks" while others think this sounds exciting.
Even though there have been struggles involved in having my own business, I wouldn't change it. I love the idea of not having to report to anyone (except, of course, to God for how I run my business and use my time and money). I love being challenged (most days!). I love the flexibility of working when I choose and being able to do it all from home.
I've written an article that talks more about being an entrepreneur. You can read it
here.
Take care,
Laurie

Hiring Virtual Assistants for $5/hour?? No!
I read a post this morning from Kathie Thomas, who is a Virtual Assistant Coach and Trainer. I have gotten to know Kathie, and have come to highly respect her.
She was commenting on a group that is promoting hiring Virtual Assistants for $5/hr. She states that, while there are people who will do your typing or data entry for $5, they should not be considered Virtual Assistants. A Virtual Assistant is one who has the proper training to do a variety of specific tasks and, in many cases, is someone's "right arm." Their experience and assistance is worth far more than $5/hour.
Kathie wrote a letter to the President of the organization, stating her concerns. She received a reply, saying they would present her side of the situation.
I think this is a good example of standing up for what we believe to be true and right, and seeing a good outcome when we do. Kathie speaks from experience and is very knowledgeable in the field. VA's will benefit from what she did.

Deal of the Day
Happy Monday,
I hope you had a refreshing weekend! My husband and I took a long walk by the canal that's not too far from where we live. It was a beautiful fall day. We have to savor days like that.
I wanted to let you know about a great deal for today only going on at Deal Dot Com. Alice Seba's Press Release for Profits is half price - only $18.98.
Writing a press release is an inexpensive way to get exposure for your business. You can get your story on TV, on the radio, in newspapers and on the internet. All you need to do is write about what's new with your company. The difference between a press release and an ad is that a press release is more of a story, and people love stories. They tend to believe them easier than they do ads.
So if you have been thinking about it, but not sure how to go about writing a press release, this is the product for you. Grab it today while it's half price.
