Free $1,500 Webinar or No Travel Expenses |
To celebrate our new presentations, we are offering clients a special offer: When your organization enters into a contract with our company before the end of this year for me to conduct a workshop or keynote speech in 2011 for your group, we will give your organization either a free webinar (pre-or post-speaking date, value of $1,500, maximum capacity of 1,000 viewers), or we will waive the travel expenses for that 2011 trip. For groups, associations, companies, or communities who have been thinking of having me present a program for your business members, this can be quite a benefit.

It might seem like it's too early to be thinking about next year, but there are many groups that are booking me throughout 2011 and into 2012! But remember: this offer of a free webinar or no travel expenses is only valid for the next 52 days. |

Enter Our Monthly Trivia Contest! |
Last month's trivia question asked: How are Ramon Raquello and his orchestra (who played on CBS Radio on October 30, 1938), forever tied to scaring the wits out of people? John Brandon of the Mississippi Development Authority in Jackson, Mississippi authoritatively answered correctly that this was the band that was playing when Orson Welles delivered a prank broadcast of H. G. Wells "The War of the Worlds".
Now for this month's trivia question: We know that on November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his immortal Gettysburg Address, commemorating the battlefield at Gettysburg. But in whose house did he stay and in whose room did he sleep. Remember: this is where he finished writing his Gettysburg address!
Answer this correctly and you will receive the book: Whatever it Takes: A Journey into the Heart of Human Achievement.

Tip of the Month: Want a Better Business? Get Rid of This! |
We know the economy's hurting businesses, but there's something else hurting businesses (and the commercial business districts where they reside), even more. Worse, this growing menace is hard to see, and it spreads quickly and quietly! Click here to read about this little-known threat to independent business success. |

Upcoming Webinars! | |
Even though 2011 is right around the corner, for owners of businesses that rely on strong 4th Quarter sales, the next 7 weeks are critical to ending this year on a strong upswing.
If you are an owner who isn't content to just sit around and wait to see who comes in your business to spend money, we have a full schedule of webinars in our Destination University Student Center that can help. Right now, we have 37 on-demand webinars that you can watch anytime, on your own schedule, and during this month and December, we'll be adding these new ones:
- "Using Discount Marketing Without Killing Your Profits"
- "Maximizing Cost-Effective Marketing in a Down Economy"
- "Effective Last-Minute Marketing Tactics"
- "Financial Straight Talk: How to Keep More of What You Make"
- Plus, in the coming weeks, we'll have two live Open Forums, where I answer your questions as they are sent in by members viewing.
Remember: You must be a member of our Destination University Student Center to watch these webinars. When you do join, you get to view the webinars, AND you get to network with the most progressive group of business owners from around the world. (Last week, one owner got stiffed by a customer for a check of over $200. You should have seen the suggestions that came rolling in from other Destination University business owners when she asked what she should do.) Being a member of Destination University connects you to owners who are the best-of-the-best!

New 2011 Workshops and Keynotes | |
In the world of professional speakers, it's often said that it's easier to find a new audience than it is to create a new presentation. Whoever said this was true. The two new programs I've developed for 2011 took a lot of time, but now I'm ready to get on stage and present them to your business owners. The titles are below, and you can read a detailed description by clicking on either line.
New Keynote Speech: "Mom and Pop on Top: How to Be Small, But Play Large"
New Workshop: "Once Optional, Now Required: The New Rules of Small Business Success"
If you haven't read in this newsletter about our Bonus Incentive, here are the basics of it: Book me to speak for your group before the end of the year, and your group can receive a free $1,500 webinar or we'll not charge your group any travel expenses for me to come and speak. This incentive ends December 31. Call me if you want to discuss open dates in 2011. |
