Greetings!
"To achieve your dreams, you have to conquer fear."
--Queen Latifah
My coach, Stacy,
once told me that fear and excitement come from the same place, but it is
your perception of the situation that determines the emotion you feel.
As
entrepreneurs we often get trapped by our fears--of failure, success,
and the unknown--but those who've had success have also failed. It is
easy to hide and avoid the difficult process of switching from fear to
excitement.
As a VA, I've met so many wonderful business
owners who are letting their fear of the unknown get in their way of
making sound business decisions.
I had been feeling that I "should" learn 1ShoppingCart, fearful that not having that skill was a weakness as a VA. Instead, I turned that fear of being not good enough into
excitement and have begun teaching classes on the "How-To's of Constant
Contact!" I love it, and I'm good at it!
The greatest line I
ever heard, during my AssistUtraining was "If you learned something
new everyday, you still wouldn't know it all." As a business owner, I
know there will be tasks I feel anxious or fearful of. But for each one,
if I want to learn it, there is a teacher who is willing to share her
skills to help me make the switch from fear to excitement.
How can I help you turn fear into excitement? Email Me.

Constant Contact
| From Classes to Video Tutorials, Constant Contact makes it easy to learn!
Constant Contact makes sure that any budget, any learning type, can learn the program. From free in-person events, business partner classes, User Community forums and Learning Center tutorials.
Tip:  Whenever you see the filmstrip, it means there is a video tutorial to walk you through the current step.
When I was first starting out, I attended a free in-person Constant Contact event by Ron Catesin San Diego. He was very knowledgeable and funny! Though I was on information overload at the end of the day, I left the workshop with tools to create a business helping others learn to use Constant Contact.
During my classes, I encourage students to use the tools provided to play around with and learn the program. Since Constant Contact is web-based, you can't break it. If you are thinking of using Constant Contact...Set up a FREE trial, create a newsletter, send it to me! I'm available to help and collaborate!

Promotional Products
| |
"I don't know how to order a promo product!" That's what we're here for!
You know you have a need. Either you're participating in an event where you need a give-away or you are just starting out and you need to spread your name and company message. Whatever the reason, knowing you are ready to do something is the first step.
Tip: Let your distributor lead you through the ordering process.
When beginning the order process with a Distributor, you'll be asked questions. Here are some definitions of frequently-used industry words:
In-Hands Date:When do you need to have the product in your hands?
Quantity:How many of the item do you need?
Artwork:The text, image, company logo...usually in an .EPS, .JPG. or .PDF format
Production Ready Art:The artwork is ready to be imprinted onto the product with no changes.
Price Point:How much are you looking to spend per piece? Usually the price listed is by the piece.
Ship to Location: Where is the final product going? To your office, home, or event?
Set Up/Plate Charge:When printing or imprinting an item, the company needs to create a plate, screen, or mold that will put your artwork on the product.
The more information you can give to your distributor up front, the quicker your order can be in your hands.
