Notes From Mandie's Desk
August 25th, 2007 

 

Dear
Another abundant week - and I hope it has been the same for you.  We kicked the week off with a great radio interview with Kala Hos.  More info here. Kala has a great program using Law of Attraction - in a bit different format.  (see need to know section below for more info)

You never know when the Senator will phone....
Much to my surprise - Senator Elaine McCoy's office called me early yesterday morning to ask if I could fill in and speak to 250 women at the Women of Influence Luncheon on Calgary.  (of course I said yes)  View the message I delivered here in our blog. (Are you a woman of influence?)

I encourage you to attend these events to network.  They are very prestigious and you never know what kind of connections you could make. It never hurts to be connected!

How did the Senator's office get my name?  It was a referral to the web site.  Are you connected to our site and promoting your profile?  Read below on featured benefit section on how you too can use the site to pro mote yourself.

GREAT WORKSHOP NEXT WEEKEND - learn how to blog, use facebook and other social networking avenues to promote your business.  November 17th - 10:00 am MST, 12:00 EST Register here   Free for members - $10. for non members.  Webinar instructions mailed 24 hours before the event

There is enough for everyone - but do you really believe it?
Are you walking the walk - or just talking the talk.  Believing a principle like this is not always easy.  SOmetimes we get focused on what we don't have and begin to look around at what others are getting.  The thought trap goes further to then begin to accuse others of taking what is yours.  This though pattern is far too prevalent among business owners who SAY they believe that there is enough for everyone.

We recently experienced the fallout from such thinking.  A NON- MEMBER was concerned as we advertised services that some of our members offer - and suggested that we lacked integrity.  This comment and thought process comes from a scarcity mentality.  So let me let you know how we work.

When we advertise or promote a service that you as a member offer - if the request for the service comes in from YOUR area of expertise or close to your location - we will refer you.  We promise.  I can give you several immediate referral we have passed on to members - but I am not here to defend.  I am here to ask - are you running your business from a lace of abundance, or a place of scarcity?

No one can steal business from you.  You will get the business that you attract.  And it will be the right business.  Yes you should market effectively.  Yes you need to have an action plan to attract and keep customers.  If you believe that the universe is a friendly place - you will have this experience.  If you think you must struggle to survive - this will be your experience.  You get to choose.

Group Coaching
Our next group coaching (for free) will take place in the Hamilton Burlington area. We have now scheduled 2 sessions for those who are attending the meeting!

Have an abundant and profitable week!

NEED TO KNOW

 

On Sunday (last weekend) I interviewed a great guest on the Roaring Women Radio show.  She had an offer available - that I immediately took advantage of.  Here is the letter I sent out just in case you missed it.  I can tell you that already I am reaping the results from her program.  I have said in the letter - I am not much of a joiner - but when $150 investment pays off for me immediately - I should be letting you know about it too!   View the offer here.  View the letter from earlier in the week here.

Dinner Reservations
Please be sure to sign up for dinner meetings at least 7 days before the actual date.  Many Regional Directors must turn numbers in to caterers beginning 7 days before the event so they can set the room aside.  Also - if you have made an error on your registration - please call us right away so we can fix the error.  (it is easier sooner than later - although everything can be fixed!)

Spelling Errors??? Not us - we don;t male spelling errors - read below...... have some fun!

FEATURED BENEFIT

 

One of the benefits of being on the Roaring Women site as a general member is the fact that you are highlighted on the front page each and every day.  So every time someone comes to the site - a new member's photo and story teaser appears on the front page. Inevitably - people wonder "who is that?" and click through to your profile.

On your profile page you can have:

  • your story
  • link to your site
  • email
  • phone number
  • coupon
  • soundbite

All of this builds trust in who you are.  You can also have links to news articles you have been featured in as well as many other locations.
