Are you just starting out in your business, and do you want to get it right the first time?

Or, have you started your business and now feel like you’re not moving in the right direction? Either way, I can totally relate!

I am thrilled to announce that my flagship program, Create A Powerful Business is launching next week!

Create A Powerful Business will teach you step-by-step what to do to set your business up, how to create a business plan and how to begin marketing your business. It also goes deeper than that. We will uncover the blocks and obstacles that could be holding you back and we’ll eliminate them. So, the program is about teaching you the theory, but it also goes deeper to ensure that you don’t become paralyzed by fear or anxiety along the way.

When I started my first business in 1999, I knew a lot about what I wanted to do and very little about HOW to do it. I ended up creating a stressful, frustrating, barley growing enterprise. It wasn’t until I started working with a coach and learned about setting goals and creating plans that my business really began to flourish. Together with my coach, I began developing a business plan, and began to see my marketing efforts pay off.

Coaching also helped me break through the fears and the emotional blocks that were holding me back.

I’m a no fuss, low maintenance kind of gal who likes to master things on the first try. So, I took the lessons I learned from my coach and Jenn-ized them so that they were easy to implement, easy to understand, and easy to replicate.

This program is a result of what has worked for me, and what I’ve worked with my clients and it works for them too!

Program Details:

Start Date: February 5, 2007

Penny Haynes, podcasting expert, have a small group class with a few openings left on Monday, 2/5/07 from 1-3pm EST. It is a 2 hour class, Introduction to Podcasting. Normal cost is $50, but IVWCC.org members get a 10% discount, or $45. 

The class is recorded on video, and a link to the recording sent to you after the class.  It also includes the newly revised Podcasting Handbook ($20 value).

The information for the class is as follows:

This explains what Podcasting is, and is NOT. YouTube is NOT podcasting. Audio and video on your website is NOT podcasting. Streaming audio is NOT podcasting.

It also explains what Podcasting entails and different options from which you can choose. You may want an all-in-one online service that makes it really easy, but over which you have no control. Or you may want total control over it, and do it all yourself. There are different services and tools for different types of podcasts, and you will learn about them in this class.

You will leave the class with the following:

* A clear understanding of what Podcasting is
* A clear understanding of what RSS is
* A clear understanding of the difference between downloading and streaming media
* The basics of what makes up a Podcast
* What type of Podcast would be best suited for you and your purposes (Penny will help each student determine what type of Podcast would be most profitable for them)
* Which podcasting tools and resources are best for YOUR type of podcast
* An Introduction to using those tools and resources
* How to use a Podcatcher (subscribing and downloading podcasts)

If you missed the last BRPD’s Members-Only Business Networking event/ workshop, you missed out on something valuable that you could use for your daily networking activities.

However, 1 hour was obviously not enough time for everyone to fully craft their compelling 30-second introduction, as this is a process that takes time. Cristina’s goal during her presentation was to share the 5 criteria, 5 elements, as well as the introduction outline.

She also listed 5 mistakes to avoid and invited everyone to give constructive initial feedback so that participants could come away from the event with a general outline. Now, they are continuing the process of coming up with their own compelling 30-second introduction.

Listen to the recording by going to BRPD’s About Us page (Past Events section) and follow along using the presentation slides (in PDF format) to get all the information you need to craft a compelling 30-second introduction.

Because you are in your own business, you know what you’re talking about and your message may be very clear to you. But you want to create an introduction that everyone will understand, will resonate with your target market so they’ll want to know more, and will be memorable so others can refer your services.

After listening to Cristina’s presentation, it’s time to tap into the BRPD’s networking forum board or hire a coach to help you break out of your world.

You’ll want to brainstorm ways of making your introduction as simple and as clear as possible, all while being compelling and keeping it to 30 seconds!

If, after listening to the presentation, you still need additional help, Cristina has generously invited all BRPD members (users) to contact her for further support.

She won’t do the work for you, but she’s also not the type of person to say “It’s great!” if she really feels it can be improved. She’ll ask you clarifying questions and give you real, constructive comments to help you create a truly compelling 30-second introduction. Take advantage of her complimentary coaching session offer by scheduling a time slot convenient for you on her website at www.CristinaFavreau.com. What’s more (despite being about to give birth in 5 weeks) she has opened 2 slots for BRPD members-only Get Clients Now! programs at a the drastically reduced fee of only $197.

If you’re looking for a way to kick start your marketing and create an action plan to get more clients in less than a month, this is the program for you.

Within 3 short hours, Cristina will help you discover what marketing strategies work, she’ll help you define a measurable, achievable and realistic goal ,she’ll assist you in identifying where you’re stuck in the marketing cycle, and help you design your 28-day action plan.

Contact her by email at coach@cristinafavreau.com to register at your BRPD members-only special price.
