I'm Speaking At The Self Employment Telesummit!

The Self Employment Telesummit When: September 10-22, 2009 Where: On your phone line  More Details: Here I am excited to be presenting at this event! Molly Gordon of Authentic Promotion is organizing this virtual learning event created to serve newly and about-to-be self employed people who are overwhelmed by the numner of things they need to do to launch and sustain a business. Whew! Basically, it's going to be several days' worth of in-depth information covering topics from branding to written communications, social media, PR, organizing your office, and what to charge for your services. Molly's pulled together a dozen experts in these topics and more to teach new business owners everything they'll need to know to get their businesses started out successfully. You get to attend the teleseminar sessions, a copy of a workbook, membership in the telessummit's forum so that you can talk with other attendees and ask questions about starting your business, and a bonus pack of special tools from each presenter. Advanced membership includes MP3s, transcripts, follow-up coaching and even a two-week coaching program with Molly. And the prices are really affordable - starting at as low as $255 (just 3 payments of $85.00). This program would have saved me from tons of mistakes that I made setting up my busienss - and I don't even want to think about the money I would have saved if I'd invested in this instead of the mess of materials that I bought because I didn't know where to get all of this information at once. I know, I have a lot to say about this event. But I think it will be pretty great! I'm speaking twice for this event. Here's the details!  Preview: The Top 5 Avoidable Start-Up Brand Design Accidents When you start a small business, one of the most creative, fun and exciting things you'll get to do is to create your brand.

A Roadmap For Designing An Effective and Affordable Brand Your business's brand can be a fork in the road. It can help your business stand out from the competition to help you bring in new clients - if it's designed right. If your brand takes a wrong turn, your customers can wind up lost, confused, or worse yet - turning to another provider. No one wants that! This talk will help you make sure that you're setting your brand up for success - and designing a brand identity that will really help your business to get customers moving in down the right road - towards making a purchase with you.
