Last week I was in San Francisco & Sonoma, and though I went for work, you'd hardly know it from so much gourmet-food-eating, boutique-wine-drinking and all-around good times.

Unfortunately, as we say in Spanish "un gustaso, un trancaso" (very loosely translated: I had to "pay the piper") and I returned to a TON of work, including facilitating a full-week strategic retreat in the Everglades where I nearly stepped on a SNAKE and am now traumatized for life. Ugh I still get chills thinking about it. Long story short, my newsletter took a backseat to catching up, so instead of the usual article, I'm posting 3 of my best recent slide shows at the bottom of this email, past our upcoming events like You: The ONLINE Brand.

Yes, you read correctly... After almost a year hiatus, our most popular program: "YOU: THE ONLINE BRAND" is back Tuesday, August 24th! We had retired it to create an online/for-purchase product. Problem is, once I started putting it together, I realized there were "information gaps" to fill. This fills them. Even if you've already attended, this is a great refresher with lots of new info. www.YouTheOnlineBrand.com.

Of course we still do the Headshot Workshop every month for one-on-one help. Speaking of which, check out my new photo shot by Tabatha Mudra at our latest Headshot Workshop! ==>

Not to worry, the Sharpie-pic isn't going anywhere, this new image is for a Special Report I'm working on with Toilet Paper Entrepreneur author Mike Michalowicz. The report is Prettier, Smarter & More Popular: Why Women Play Dirty & The 7 Strategies To Rise Above Gossip, Jealousy & Backstabbing. Grabs your attention, no? It will address those problems that many of us don't acknowledge... but most of us know are there. Want to help? Fill out this 3-question poll.

But wait... There's more! We secured the venue for the November Empowered Woman Success Summit....The Museum of Science!! We have lots of space for attendees and sponsors, and 2 huge auditoriums for sessions. Needless to say... we're thrilled. Want to get involved? Email me.

And last but not least, my interview on Lifetime TV's "The Balancing Act:"

Balancing Act

One last thing... I get so many requests for lunches and there's just no way I can fit them all into my schedule anymore. Does anyone want to do monthly informal lunches in small groups where we just get together and talk business? If so, contact my assistant Jennifer Leon jennifer@mivistainc.com. She'll put your name on a list and we'll get back in touch with you for that.

Ciao for now!

Partner Event: Business Is Booming
Brad Sugars
I am sponsoring and will be attending this event featuring Brad Sugars (famous business coach and founder of ActionCoach). He'll be sharing "28 strategies for success" gleaned from the past 2 years of crappy economic conditions. The idea is that there are commonalities among companies that have grown during these times, and he'll be sharing what they are.

It's free. Yes, it's free because they are promoting ActionCoach there but 1) You don't have to buy anything, 2) I actually personally use an ActionCoach and love her.

Register using this code SRIC070 (so I get credit for bringing you) at www.BusinessIsBoomingTour.com.

Hope you can make it.
