New News!!!! I am officially now the partner of Mom’s Coffee Break with Tonya Ramsey. Mom’s Coffee Break is a bi-weekly networking chat for mom’s to talk about topics such as time management, balance, self esteem, partnerships and the different roles that we have in our lives…along with being a working mom.
Mom’s Coffee Break is a way for all working moms, to take a break, socialize, and engage in great discussions about a variety of important topics.

Mom’s Coffee Break is a place where work at home moms can engage in some “water cooler” talk, while learning how they can improve themselves. As well as a place for all mothers (whether they work inside or outside the home) to get support towards the areas that they struggle with and to get some of that all-important-sometimes-forgotten-about socialization with other moms.

MCB meets on the 1st and the 3rd Friday of the month

at 8am PST / 9am MNT / 10am CST / 11am EST

• September 28th Mom’s Coffee Break is sponsored by Digital Moms.

• October 5th – Guest speaker – Jenn Givler, owner of J Givler Coachingand leads a Yahoo Group called Powerful Entrepreneur

Teresa , you say that I should hire a life and business coach to have my business succeed
and get to the next level? That is what you are saying right?

Well, here are the reasons why I say Yes, Yes,
Yes!!! It will make a world of difference for your business when you hire a life and business coach:

* You will be able to identify those things like self doubt and low self esteem within you that hinders you from moving forward with your business ideas, partnerships or even making those calls to clients.
*You will overcome those fears that keep you stuck from completing your dreams because with support of your life coach your self esteem and confidence will increase
* You will conquer your doubt in your business ventures because you will have the support of your business coach to help you bust through those barriers keeping you stuck from achieving those goals in your business.
*The awareness level of negativity of others and how to combat that negativity from others and your inner critic (you all know what I am talking about…the little voice in your head that tells you “nah, you can’t do that”, “that person won’t want to talk to you”, “why start doing that…it won’t work for you”).

Here comes MY recommendation:
Tonya Ramsey, Owner of Life By Design

Sessions are done over a phone conference line, in LBD’s on-line classroom, or via Skype group chat.

Life By Design offers a few different group coaching packages:

• Building a Better You–This group is aimed at helping women with their goals through improved self-esteem, self-image, and self-confidence.
• WAHM Group–This group is exclusively for WAHM, the group will provide support to areas that members are struggling in and teach ways to improve balance between motherhood and working at home.

but the best part is…there is a TON of great benefits in addition by joining her group coaching.
The BEST part>>>>> you can receive a 25% discount of Life By Design by saying you were directed there by reading this post—see, now that’s a great deal, right!

Business Coach Extraordinaire–or as she calls herself A Catalyst for Thriving Businesses, Jenn Givler, owner of JGivler Coaching. Jenn offersbusiness coaching for the start up entrepreneur or business owner, help with marketing or strategies.
If you are just needing some help with a certain project (maybe an ebook or what service to offer your customers next) and you are stuck–>Jenn offers Intuitive Readingsto assist and help allow you to move forward with a specific project.

Without self confidence and having passion with what you are doing in your life…how will your business succeed. It can be done and you can receive great support from a life coach that will be there for YOU to help when things get a bit overwhelming or feel stuck.

And there is more…
AND as I mentioned in my title…Listen Up...to internet radio shows that is–

I find that listening (or downloading) internet radio shows has recently been a secret gem that I have found to help me in my life and business to keep me motivated and empowered in my dreams.

Here is my recommendation:
Internet Radio Show-Journey To Self – Listen about how to get past those things that keep you from moving forward.
Another that gets big kudos from me: Heal Yourself Talk Radio hosted by Rebecca White.

I had the pleasure of being a part of Tonya’s show in August…Journey to Self with Tonya Ramsey, Owner of Life by Design

During the show, we discussed our individual journeys to claim who we are and the maintenance that we are continuously working on and the ways we are going to share these experience with others and especially our children. Click here to listen to the show
Take a listen and please feel free to share with her your own journey to self and be sure to listen to Tonya each Thursday at 2pmCST.

I really do hope that you consider hiring a life and business coach and take the time to listen to Tonya’s radio show and research online for other shows that may be of interest to you. These two things will help you move your business to the next level.

Another internet radio show that gets big kudos from me: Heal Yourself Talk Radio hosted by Rebecca White.
Just something extra: About a month ago, Tonya did this 3 R Challenge and this is a great exercise to try and see what happens for you.

And please feel free to comment on this blog to tell me how it helped you!

After three years of primarily offering online administrative duties for busy entrepreneurs, I finally realized that I had much more to offer than the typical administrative tasks of a virtual assistant.

While a number of my clients hire me initially for my administrative support, it always ends up that my clients gained more from my expertise in online publicity techniques and tactics.

Check out my newest PR Web press release

Therefore, I am officially announcing my launch of the following online publicity/online public relations/Online PR services:

(a) writing and distributing online press releases, and

(b) connecting entrepreneurs with prominent podcast, internet talk radio hosts and bloggers for guest postings or appearances.

Additionally, because of my knowledge of the inner workings of the virtual business world, I have been fortunate (well–I really worked hard for it too ) to have built a highly-supportive and extensive network for myself which allows me to provide You with limitless resources in order to gain exposure for Your business!

How?

Via my new online networking services! These services include but are not limited to:

(a) consultation of the various online networking organizations and associations that may be available to them within their own target market,

(b) obtain introductions to prominent online networkers in their specific niche,

(c) secure guest appearances and/or participation in online networking events, such as webinars, web-conference, chats, email-listserve event, and more.

By offering the above new services beyond more normal administrative tasks as a “virtual assistant”, I CAN position You to increase your online exposure exponentially!

After all–I am the Online Prima Connector, right?

You can expect to see more about all the duties I’m offering such as creating Power Point Presentations, general word processing, and conducting online research…so you can do it yourself too!

But, of course–whenever you get overwhelmed or over-booked…I’m here to be Your Key Business Partner!

Please let me know what areas of these new services you’d like me to cover on my blog by posting a comment below.

Weekly Networking Chats called eWednesday Chatand to be able to hear from some of the most generous and friendly people on the web that Heidi has as speakers and guests at the eWednesday Chat (remember this is on a WEEKLY basis – for FREE!) and that is just one thing.

Oh, and did I tell you—you can become a speaker or guest at eWednesday Chat… (do you have topic that you are an expert about and you would like to share your expertise with others—well, then…there you go!)

Part 1

Last week I had written a post about WECAI and outlined the memberships options, how to join WECAI and just some* of the benefits of joining. Well, are you ready for more!

I know you are saying, this has to be too good to be true, however, I am here to attest and you can email and ask me questions about WECAI if you would like, however, I am trying to tell you “You really have NOTHING to lose and MUCH to gain by becoming a member of WECAI!” Yes, again, I am a Charter Elite Member which means I did pay money to become a member—however, it has paid me back SEVERAL TIMES over! I have received quite a few clients from being a part of WECAI and have gained exposure and credibility by being associated with such a distinquished association.

Ok, ok, so onto the next part of how you can gain exposure for your business through FREE events at WECAI Network:

You are invited to join 1st Fridayz(tm) brought to you by the WECAI
Network(tm).

1st Fridayz(tm) is a 36-hour email networking event that takes place on the
eFriday Forum listserv. 1st FridayzT begins this Friday, September 7th at 8
AM Eastern Time and goes until 8 PM Eastern Time on Saturday, September 8th.
In addition to participating in lively discuss topics of interest to women
business owners, professionals and executives. 1st FridayzT networking
events allows participants to get to know more about the products and
services each offers.

1st Fridayz(tm) are designed to be a rich mix of conversations, one-on-one
interviews, and panel discussions. And the beauty of an email event is that
you can come and go and interact as you please. You are not attached to your
computer keyboard unless you want to be.

Like previous 1st Fridayz(tm) the September event has a twist to it. The
first 20 people to reply to this message will have the opportunity
participate in a 10 minute “blog showcase” in our (pc friendly) online
conference room. Your blog will also be added to the 100 Great Women
Bloggers List we will be unveiling on the WE Magazine blog in September.

Since the showcase focus for September is blogging, we will ask you to show
us your blog as well as answer so key questions such as why you started your
blogs, what your goals are, your focus, target audience and what you enjoy
most about blogging? We will also want to know what you find to be the most
difficult part of starting/maintaining your blog as well as how you promote
it. In essence, the September showcases will be mini-interviews.

Showcases will take place in the conference room and will scheduled between
12:30 and 1:30 pm, 4:30 and 5:30 pm, and 8:30 and 9:30 pm on Friday and
11:30 and 12:30 pm on Saturday (all Eastern Daylight Time). Times are on a
first-come basis. Go here to convert the time in your part of the world:
www.timeanddate.com.

For those of you who are unable to join us in the conference room, you will
be able to hear the conversations and participate via a teleconference
bridge line. You will be able to showcase your blog even if you cannot
attend in the room, because you will supply the URL of your blog, and we
will follow along with you – while you are on the phone you can give a tour
via your own computer.

Teresa Morrow of Key Business Partners (http://www.keybusinesspartners.com)
is the September Showcase Chair and will be coordinating the showcase times.
Her email is keybusinesspartners (at) gmail.com. You may also reply to this
message with “SHOWCASE” in the body of the email and I will forward it to
her.

And we have an educational component to our event. The theme for September
is Blogging for Business and five or six guest experts will be interviewed
during our Conference Room Networking times. The experts we have lined up
so far are Patsi Krakoff and Denise Wakeman aka The Blog Squad, Liz Strauss
of Successful and Outstanding Blog(gers), Heidi Caswell of Connect Simply,
and two other “surprise guests!”

Because you are a part of our Global Network, you are invited to attend at
no charge and participate in these discussions. And as a valued member, you
may invite one person in your circle to attend and introduce her to our
network. If each member invites one person to attend, we have now doubled
our potential network. And as a thank you for participating you will
receive a directory with a complete list of every participant.

There will be book and prize give-aways throughout the 36-hour event and
even a few surprises. BTW, if you attended in the past, you don’t have to do
re-sign up, just fill out a networking profile before the event!

So if you have not attended a previous 1st Fridayz(tm), please go to
http://listserv.familynet.net/mailman/listinfo/wecai and register.
Because this is an email networking event you will receive the discussions,
questions, answers and introductions via email to your inbox. I recommend
you set your email at DIGEST, so you won’t be inundated with messages. I
also recommend you not use your primary email address if another one is
available. This will help you separate your important business messages from
the networking event.

One last thing, I recommend you create a folder to put the messages in so
you can check them when you have time and not feel overwhelmed by the amount
of information that will be shared, and fully absorb all the information as
well as reconnect with those women who attended.

Early next week you will be asked to submit a “networking profile”
introducing you to the group. Even if you have completed the profile from
our previous event, please do so again. We are going to encourage
participants to click on your links and get to know you. We will also be
using the information you supply to create questions participants can answer
and some will even include an opportunity to “W.I.N.” some great prizes.

If you would like to donate a prize, let me know and I will include it in
Future communications, in our next eMonday News as well as post it to our
blogs – Virtual Woman’s Day – http://www.virtualwomansday.com and WE
Magazine for Women’s http://wecai.org/wemagazine/. This is a great way to
gain extra visibility for your products and services.

THANKS! We look forward to networking with you.

Heidi & Suzannah

Co-Founders – The WECAI Network(tm) – http://www.wecai.org
“Helping Women Do Business on and off the WEB”

So, please go and sign up for this great event that is this Friday, Sept 7th and Saturday, Sept 8th. Believe me, it is what you put into it and it is going to really be great!!
