My girlfriends are powerhouses. Literally! As many of you know some of my besties in business are Donna Maria of Indie Business Network, Lela Barker of Lucky Break Consulting and the one-and-only Soap Queen Anne-Marie Faiola of Brambleberry. And this summer the four of us have each either launched a new company, created a new division or launched a major product offering. Let me share what me and my rockin’ ladies who launch are up to right now.
Open Mouth Face of Fun with Anne-Marie, Donna Maria, Lela and Me
Donna Maria announced Indie Business University AND Maker Mastermind.
Maker Mastermind is two days of foundational business training designed specifically for people who make the products they sell. The 2016 Maker Mastermind Tour will begin in Greenville, South Carolina in September, and registration is open now! If you are anywhere nearby you do not want to miss the first Maker Mastermind. Two days with my friend Donna Maria will transform your business.
Indie Business University has the mission is to end unemployment through entrepreneurship for all! Enough said! This is going to amazing.
Anne-Marie recently unveiled the Best Day Ever. The Best Day Ever is about meeting you where you’re at, designing your best life, and encouraging you along the way with classes, podcasts, blogs, books, challenges, and more. It’s about arming you with the tools to make every day better than the last. I love the Best Day Ever Manifesto which reads in part, “We believe that happiness is a choice, that laughter is essential and that your destiny is now. We believe it’s time to dive into life with the best you have to offer, improving daily and judging success on your own terms. We believe that the days of comparison are over and it’s time to live your best day ever…”
Join the Fall 2016 Challenge that starts on September 28th. Best Day Ever challenge is a 6 week time period to reset your body and reset your habits. It’s not a crazy low carb diet, it’s not a cleanse and it’s not something that means you can’t leave your house because you’re so stressed about food. It is eating real food, moving more and having fun with new friends doing it. I guarantee you that by the end, you’ll be sleeping better, and have a more stable mood each and every day. And, PS: yes, you will lose weight. I am already signed up!
Lela has launched Wholesale Matchmaker the first wholesale dating service. Well, not actual dates, but wholesale matches. Each Wholesale Matchmaker member is given fifteen custom store matches per month, hand-selected especially for them. They also receive a detailed, personalized monthly action plan to manage outreach and follow-up efforts. On top of all that Lela gives you access to her Speed Dating Series: ten quick-but-juicy video workshops to get your wholesale program into fighting shape. Wholesale Matchmaker members also enjoy access to Lela’s Little Black Book: generous discounts from some of my favorite peeps, designed to save you serious moolah. And one 90-minute Q+A group call with Lela each month to troubleshoot your wholesale woes.

The first 10 people to register will receive a bonus one-on-one book strategy session with their enrollment in Author-preneur University. As a stand alone product this private session would cost more than the price of registration!
