Open Your Mouth and Build Your Business Next Week

A few weeks ago, we had a special guest on our monthly teleclass, Darren LaCroix. Darren is the Toastmaster's World Champion of Public Speaking, competing against 25,000 others for that title.

If face to face is the best way to persuade people why are you only speaking to one face at a time? If your goods and services are so good, and people need them, why aren't you tapping into THE BEST for of marketing in the world...speaking.

It is a revenue stream that funnels leads into your business like a fire hose!

Darren did not start out that way though. He started his business doing a speech in front 12 people and made $99 in his first 30 minute talk. Now he earns hundreds of thousands of dollars and continues to feed his business from in front of an audience. Give him 60 minutes and he'll change the way you look at marketing for small businesses forever!

The audio recording of that teleclass is now available:

Something Unexpected Happens

When Paul Potts got up on stage in front of the audience of Britain's You've Got Talent show (think American Idol in the UK), you would never have guessed his hidden talent. In a a cheap suit with a chipped front tooth, he nervously approached the microphone. But this cell phone salesman from Wales had a dream.

And as we all know, something unexpected happens when you dare to live your dreams (watch it now, you won't believe it!):

Introducing My New Site!!

To all my clients, students, colleagues, friends, and family:

This is one of those "What I Did for My Summer Vacation" stories.

I took last week off from client work and teaching. I didn't get to go on a cruise or hiking in Yosemite this time. I specifically took that week off to get the Passion For Business Learning site complete.

Whew! This project has been in the works for over six months, and took 200-250 hours of work to finish. Now I know what it really takes to create classes, audio and ebook products (17 in all), and create an "education site" to house them!

I'm so proud of this site. I designed the site and course catalog myself (thanks to Annie and Angee for pitching in!). It's the culmination of a year-long dream for me, and I wanted you to have a sneak peek at it before I announce it to my mailing list:

http://www.PassionForBusinessLearning.com/

I hope you'll share in my joy and send "good energy" to the site on its birth day!
