It's Time
To Get Off The Hamster Wheel!
Just being in motion will never get you to your Big. To do that, you need to be sure you're doing the right things, in the right order, for the right reasons.
This seven-step system clarifies the activities that are mission-critical to your success. It then walks you through a process for creating step-by-step action plans to implement those key activities.
The result? You get off the hamster wheel of motion-without-progress and get on a more direct route to more clients and more money.
Forget about being busy; start getting focused by downloading your no-charge PDF version of the Take Action Now System (tm) today. |

Than Just a

Greetings!
For those of us in the United States who have reached "a certain age", the Lone Ranger made a great hero - the masked man who would come riding in on his gorgeous horse, take care of the bad guys, then ride off into the sunset, declaring "My work here is done."
Unfortunately, trying to be a Lone Ranger in business today is a really lousy way for an entrepreneur to run a business. There's no way we can be good at everything that needs doing to grow a business, but we're often seduced into trying to do it all ourselves.
It's smarter by far to take advantage of the expertise represented by all those other would-be Lone Ranger entrepreneurs who are good at things we're lousy at. From designing websites to keeping offices clean to providing an essential objective viewpoint, there are people out there who can propel us into Big far more quickly than we could get there on our own. Read on for some great springboards to your Big.

Tip of the Week
Be consistent in your branding so it's easy for people to remember you.
BizzyWeb does a great job of this. All their marketing relates back to their name and value proposition ("Generate buzz without getting stung"). At expos they give away Bit O' Honey candy; they provide small jars of honey in welcome baskets that go to new businesses in town; they have yellow company shirts with their bee logo on them; even the QR code that leads prospects to their website looks like their bee mascot.

A Really Good Resource
If you haven't yet become part of a Mastermind group, I really encourage you to explore this powerful tool for business and personal growth.
While there are different formats for such groups (read about some different approaches here), any good Mastermind will provide brainstorming, resources, support, and accountability for you.
I'm excited to announce that I've added facilitation of Mastermind groups to my service offerings. Having a professional facilitator manage the group frees up your time and brainpower for focusing on the key business issues you and your fellow members want to address.
If you'd like to learn more, please call or e-mail me. We'll explore whether this is a good fit with your current plans to Step Into Big.

How's This for Success?
Thirty years ago, Lori Spiess from OffiCenters saw an unmet need and addressed it. Today, she heads one of the premier business-office centers in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
OffiCenters provides virtual, shared, and dedicated office space to professionals who want a prestigious business address without equally prestigious (i.e., huge) rent payments. Not only are the facilities top notch, but Lori has assembled a team that propels her company and her clients to success. Every OffiCenter employee is clear on the company's mission, dedicated to knowing clients and clearly understanding their needs, and naturally supportive of both clients and her fellow team members. They're so focused on being of service that they have, not just clients, but raving fans.
