What's up with Kat?!?!

LIVE BIG! Not small....

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:21:00 +0000

Wow, what a week. I came back from being gone 11 days, living out of hotels in San Diego and Las Vegas...then to catch a cold. The Universe really wants to STOP me in my tracks and is putting every barrier in front of me to give in, hold back or not to press forward on things I know I need to be doing.

Do you ever feel like that?

Do you sometimes consider that things like this, declined credit cards, traffic, etc. are all just 'signs' that you shouldn't be doing whatever it is you're trying to do?

Well, I'd challenge you to consider that these things aren't 'signs' but think of them as illusions or as your subconscious trying to stop you instead. If you think of them as challenges or obstacles that you have to break through instead and you keep on plugging, not giving up on whatever the task is at hand, I'm telling you...the grass is greener; you will get to the goal.

This is the toughest thing to do though for most humans; we stop when times get tough, things get uncomfortable or at ANY sign of danger or problem.

But this is all just a ploy from the Universe and your subconscious to keep you small....

Don't give in; keep pressing through to what you want, your bigger goals, dreams and visions and YOU WILL GET THEM. But give in, give up or stop and they'll never become a reality.

Which do you want for your life?

LIVE BIG! Not small....

What's a Budget, Got a Budget?

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:00:00 +0000

Ok so this is the big question....do you have a budget for your business? 99.9% of business owners that I talk to do not. Nor do they even know how to create one. Now I'm not a budgeting expert mind you but I do see a lot of start up business owners every month and I help them figure out where and how much to spend on WHAT in their business, their marketing and their big picture planning.

So what I did was put together a 'very general' and pretty conservative budget template. You can see if you're spending what you might want to spend as an online marketer, small business owner or entrepreneur??

I'm including it in this link because it's a little too complex to copy into this ezine direct - check it out and tell me what you think?

Review my ideas for budgeting in your small business here.

Meanwhile if you see where you could really make some big changes here for yourself but want some help on what to FOCUS ON, or which steps to take when, etc. then I invite you to attend the upcoming Love and Money Business Summit where you'll get proven strategies for better focusing, learning, implementing, marketing, copywriting, selling, delegating and more.

"Get FOCUSED...and Make More Money" Part 2

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:30:00 +0000

This is a two part article; today you can read all about part 2, check the blog for part 1 or it's in last week's ezine.

Last week I started writing about a topic that almost everyone in business for themselves should take time to think about. It's about how to get and stay more focused in your business in order to reach your goals or in many cases...make more money.

In part 1 of this 2 part series, last week I wrote about Getting Focused...and Making More Money.... with your goals, planning and day to day activities.

This week I'm talking about Getting Focused...and Making More Money....with your target market, the messages, hot buttons and call to action you're using in your marketing.

1. who wants what you've got?

2. why do they want what you've got?

3. what will make them buy what you've got?

4. what keywords and phrases will make them take action?

5. how can you write or talk to them in a way that makes sense to THEM?

6. how will you send/give them information so they will see it and respond?

I can't tell you how many small business owners and entrepreneurs I talk to weekly who don't get this! You don't get that EVERYTHING YOU DO in your marketing, promotions, planning and especially online have EVERYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR TARGET MARKET.

If you know this already, great. So what does the headline say on your website (each page!)? What does your follow up direct mail piece say exactly? Hmmm, don't have one or both of these? No idea? Then you want to make some changes and quick! You're missing out on more sales, opportunities, referrals and more.

Your copywriting whether it's on your website, your business cards, your flyers, ezines, mailers, letters, tweets, blog and even your 60 second commercial with in person networking....is the most important part of your marketing.

And from my experience only about 10-15% of small business owners have any REAL TRAINING in copywriting, writing, sales writing, sales in general??? So, are you seriously doing this yourself? Well, no wonder you're not getting the results you want!?!?

So, what can you do to create better marketing materials, websites, online and offline relationship marketing strategies?

You have to find out the single most important thing:

What matters most to your target (ideal) prospects when it comes to your products and services.

• What are their HOT BUTTONS?
• What makes them want to read your materials and website?
• What makes them want to ask questions or contact you?
• What makes them take action and signup for something or buy from you?

This is what you need to know or go find out if you aren't sure.

Then you can create copy, headlines, special offers, marketing and attention getting and action oriented promotions or materials that your ideal prospects will respond to and guess what? You'll make more sales!

Need help?

• Conduct an online survey?
• Pick up the phone and call your previous clients or current prospects and ask?
• Offer a free Q&A Teleclass
• Ask for help yourself to help figure this all out

Now you may need help to get this figured out since not everyone is so detail oriented or big picture focused. If you'd like to discuss this over a complimentary Getting Acquainted Session with me, go to my website and fill out my Free Biz Quiz so that I have more information for you and I'll respond with times when we can chat ok?

Meanwhile if you see where you could really make some big changes here for yourself but want some help on what to FOCUS ON, or which steps to take when, etc. then I invite you to attend the upcoming Love and Money Business Summit where you'll get proven strategies for better focusing, learning, implementing, marketing, copywriting, selling, delegating and more.

"Get FOCUSED...and Make More Money" Part 1

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:45:00 +0000

For the next two weeks I'm writing about a topic that almost everyone in business for themselves should take time to think about. It's about how to get and stay more focused in your business in order to reach your goals or in many cases...make more money.

In part 1 of this 2 part series it's all about Getting Focused...and Making More Money.... with your goals, planning and day to day activities.

Where are you wasting time and how to avoid this trap?

You first want to figure out WHERE you're spending your time day to day...keep a list! Write down everything you do for a week - EVERYTHING! And write down how much time you spent on it, if you could have done it in less time but weren't focused or didn't know how to accomplish a task and spent too long learning or trying, etc.

But truly BEFORE you do that step...hopefully you've stopped to think about how you really want your lifestyle to look? Most people haven't so don't feel bad if you haven't done this yet...but why not do it now?

• Think about how many hours you want to work each week and with whom do you want to work?

• Think about what kinds of services or products you want to deliver - do you like 1on1 services, group services or not talking to anyone personally at all for example?

• How much time do you want to spend with family, friends, traveling, giving back - you get the picture - outline your Ultimate Lifestyle Vision now!

Here are 6 steps you can take to ensure a little more structure and focus in your life.

1. Have a big picture vision for life and business - your Ultimate Lifestyle Dream

2. Have a practical yet 1-5 year plan - document what you want to accomplish, the big things, each year.
      a. Do you want to write and publish a book, hold a big event, speak all over the country, add a new product line, add a new computer system, develop a new website, take on new employees or staff, expand into another city - what?

3. Have a 6-12 month strategy - develop a vision board possibly to outline your annual goals and intentions
      a. Do you want to double your list, double your revenues, increase your membership by 50%, sell 1000 products, speak at 25 events, find the love of your life - what?

4. Have a 3 monthly implementation system (working ahead 3 mo as possible) - how will you accomplish all that needs to get done to reach your bigger goals?
      a. Who will you delegate what to?
      b. What systems do you need to install or subscribe to?
      c. What do you need to prewrite or prelaunch to be ready?

5. Have a somewhat scheduled yet flexible monthly calendar
      a. What daily activities do YOU need to do and which should your team do?
     b. What monthly activities or events do you need to be at, go to or review? (don't let appointments or clients take these spots)
      c. Be open to focused and targeted opportunities that come up so you can add them

6. Have daily action steps - try to put only 3 things on your to do list each day (and not big huge things like 'write book' or 'develop new product' - break them down into smaller steps of one bigger task)

Now you may need help to get these outlined since not everyone is so detail oriented or big picture focused. Left brains may have an easier time at this than right brains for example so it's ok to ask for help. Because if you have a much clearer plan and some structure set up in your business; you'll be more likely to focus better each day, week and year on what really has to be done to get you to your next level in business or next revenue jump.

Next week I'll cover what I believe to be the second most important area you want to focus on to make more money....stay tuned!

Meanwhile if you see where you could really make some big changes here for yourself but want some help on what to FOCUS ON, or which steps to take when, etc. then I invite you to attend the upcoming Love and Money Business Summit where you'll get proven strategies for better focusing, learning, implementing, marketing, selling, delegating and more.

Are You Seriously Supportive of Your Entrepreneurial Spouse?

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:34:00 +0000

NOTE: This posting this week is intended for probably your significant other or spouse to read...I felt compelled to write it talking to them about your needs since my marriage went south due to the lack of much of this. If you currently don't have one, give it to a family member or friend and/or save for Mr. Right later! Enjoy and hope it helps!

Did you know (you, meaning the non-entrepreneurial spouse of an entrepreneur) that your entrepreneurial spouse (or significant other - just as important in this scenario) takes on a huge responsibility when they start their own business?

Granted, some of the smaller, home based type business owners could be out there just to make a few extra bucks for fun or they're doing their business for a hobby, not truly a serious business venture.

However, I'm not talking about them here, I'm talking about actual entrepreneurs (home based or not) who are in business to turn a profit AND provide products and services they are passionate about.

I'm also talking about the ones who are your significant others or spouses (so forward this to them if this is the other party - you'll be glad you did) in which case YOU are also NOT an entrepreneur yourself and frankly wouldn't want to be....is this you?

Did you know that your spouse may not be getting the kind of support they need in order to be fully confident and successful in their business? (yes, by you) And in order to be completely successful at running your own business CONFIDENCE is the key!

When you have a job working for someone else, often you can succeed without that much confidence but when it's your own business...there's absolutely NO way.

Did you know that your spouse may not know how to communicate this need to you?

Now, two things can happen here....

1 - you won't care and you'll stop reading this or

2 - you'll care but you'll have no idea if this is true or even how to find out what your spouse needs exactly (hopefully you're still reading...)

If #1 occurred then you're probably on your way to divorce anyway so your situation is most likely not fixable.

If you're in alignment with #2 though then GREAT! But now what?

There are basically 2 things you can do to support your spouse in business (even if you don't have any involvement in their business, know what they do or want to know).

You can either take Action or Non-Actions.

• Actions consist of ways to physically help out or support your spouse.

• Non-Actions consist of ways to emotionally and mentally help out or support your spouse.

Your spouse unfortunately needs both in order to feel fully supported, loved and encouraged (that's the hard part, it requires some work).

But let's break it down...

• Actions

     o helping - when asked for help
     o learning - about what they do and how else you can support them
     o listening - to requests, feelings, emotions and needs
     o loving - at all times in various ways that are noticeable

• Non-actions

     o understanding - they need to do it 'their way'
     o giving - of your energy when they need it the most regardless if asked
     o sharing - feelings, emotions, questions and concerns
     o expecting - nothing but complete and utter happiness among all

Of course there's so much more to it than this but that's what marriage counselors are for right?

No, seriously...the one way to learn better how to communicate and support your entrepreneurial spouse is to start the dialog, practice this stuff, ask what they need, learn more about what others are doing and then get help as needed.

Want to take some action now and learn more about how others support their entrepreneurial spouses or get advice 1on1?

Check out the Free 5 Part Love and Money Teleseries I'm hosting....it's already started but you can access the recordings of previous calls right away when you register plus access upcoming calls as well.

Plus your significant other will get tons of proven strategies to help them grow and market their business too - it's a win-win for everyone and by the end of it I guarantee you'll be more on the same page with your big visions and goals and be able to enjoy a much happier life together!

You’ve seen all the hype about starting a membership or association on the internet as a residual source of income…or have you?

Did you know there are people making MILLIONS of dollars running a few membership programs online and earning monthly income from each member in return for giving them great value, content, resources and more?

What you may NOT know is what it takes to start, manage and build such a business.

Having run my own memberships now for over 3 years, some profitable, some not; I will fill you in on the pros and cons so to speak and when it’s smart to add one of these types of business models into your existing business (if ever).

I will be giving you stats, numbers and resources that will truly help you in your planning and implementation plus save you a ton of money or time in the long (and short ) run.

"The #1 Way to Get 10-20 New Prospects or Referral Sources (Clients too!) FAST!"

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:44:00 +0000

Over the last two years in growing my business I've taken some HUGE leaps of faith, I've invested heavily in coaching programs, mastermind groups and networking and out of all of that I've found that the single most effective way that my business has grown during this time was.....

Attending LIVE, multi-day, multi-speaker workshops around the country.

(This pic is some of my fabulous friends and clients from all over the world - US, Canada and Australia - that I never would have met if it wasn't for attending live events.)

Now some I've spoken at mind you and of course when you speak to a group of your target market or prospects you're going to get more business, sales and referral sources. That's a fact.

So, of course if you can speak about your business, what you teach or speak about anything to do with your products or services or how they benefit others...you should definitely do that. You want to seek out opportunities like I do. I'm not afraid to email or call an event or conference organizer and ask them if they're looking for more speakers and then tell them what I speak on.

What I'm primarily talking about today however is about actually paying to be in attendance at these live events. This kind of marketing is one of the BEST strategies and MOST EFFECTIVE these days, even in this economy, for most of my clients and peers as well.

It's simply because of the Like/Trust/Connect factor; people need to see you and experience you in person usually to feel really comfortable spending bigger dollars with you or referring you to their clients and friends.

I've been attending about 8+ events like this a year for 3 years now and seeing big results from the sales at them and afterwards in the follow up. In fact they are the ONE thing that seems to be working more than any other marketing I'm doing (besides speaking), social networking, direct mail, email marketing, blogging, etc.

This type of relationship building is a must, especially in this fast-paced world of tweets and forums and more. You do not want to sit behind your computer and expect the phone to ring or an order to be emailed in. You want to take an active role in going out and getting it.

Types of events to consider attending are:

• Any industry type event for your industry
• Organization events for organizations you're a part of (active part)
• Events, Business Expos and Conferences where your key prospects will be
• Events, Business Expos and Conferences where your key referral sources or peers will be because for some of you they can be more profitable connections for you in the long run

How to prepare before you go:

Of course this is a networking event and you'll also probably learn new things, strategies or get new ideas to incorporate into your business. There's probably going to be great speakers with good content to deliver. But keep in mind that you want to prepare to network effectively so that you can walk away with some really great connections or prospects.

• Bring plenty of business cards
• Bring sales flyers, one sheets, postcards or something quick and easy to pass out in case someone's interested (don't pass out to everyone or you'll look too salesy)
• Bring order forms or ways to take payment in case some are very interested and ready to take action. The worst thing you can do is make them wait and lose momentum.
• Bring or wear a clear, descriptive nametag
• Dress appropriately to make an outstanding first impression - overdressing is much better than underdressing in my opinion
• Take care of your overall appearance at all times even if it's an all day, all week event - you have to stay on top of your game and appearance or you'll turn off prospective connections

What to remember to do afterwards:

You must have a follow up plan in place to be able to further the connections you'll make. You want to prewrite letters, note cards, postcards and emails (preferably all of the above!) and have them ready to address and get out as soon as you return and enter all your contact information.

Be careful NOT to automatically add people to an email newsletter however, keep your follow up spam free please or you'll lose the respect you just earned!

Now, if you aren't sure about all this or how to prepare everything or where to go even and especially what to follow up with or who's going to do all that when you get back....take a deep breath and remember....you do not have to do all this yourself.

In fact I highly advise you don't!

Have people and systems in place before you go networking or leave for a conference and you'll ensure it all does get done. You'll see that everyone you connect with remembers you, wants to refer you or do business with you and you'll have solidified your place 'on top of mind' with them so when you see them again (because you most likely will when you go to another similar event or when following up online too) you can deepen that connection even further.

To find out how you can develop easy systems and strategies for this type of marketing and follow up...
I would like to invite you to The Love and Money Business Summit where you can CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

You'll learn and walk away with:

• relationship marketing and follow up strategies that will work to bring YOU new business FAST

• rate strategies to charge what you're worth and get it

• where to find customers who will pay what you deserve and what attracts them

• a realization that there's a different way of doing business than you've been taught

• new residual business models and ideas that can easily and quickly be added to what you're already doing

• the courage and confidence to step up and into your higher purpose

• affordable outsourcing and team building strategies so you can grow your business faster

• PLUS your own Love and Money Business Blueprint, Binder & Vision Board and more!

"Avoid the Shotgun Approach to Marketing Your Business and You Might Succeed" , part 2

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:13:00 +0000

This is part 2, of yesterday's post about how to Avoid the Shotgun Approach to Marketing Your Business.

You also need to have in place multiple streams of income these days for a really profitable business, but which models should you choose? It depends I say, on your desired lifestyle that you want and that's an entirely different article!

Here are just a few general suggestions to consider when developing your marketing funnel (funnel = your database and people you will be continually marketing to):

1. Make sure and do at least one marketing activity each day.

2. Set specific marketing & money goals each year; review and adjust quarterly.
3. Always be brainstorming new ideas; write them down and keep a file, review quarterly
4. Always have marketing materials with you in your car - cards, flyers, brochures, postcards - you never know when you might be able to pass them out or put them on display!
5. Always include your company contact info (and possibly a business card or promotion piece) with any invoice, card, mailer or email.
6. Always follow up with each person you meet out networking within a week at most.
7. Keep an organized database in your computer of everyone you know; categorizing them by hot, warm or cold prospect, client or referral source at the very least
8. Develop a newsletter by mail or email to stay "on top of people's minds" so they will remember to refer you - if you don't remind them about you, they WILL forget about you!
9. Track your results and see what's working, what you can tweak and resend and then what needs to go after giving it a minimum of 3 months or more depending on the activity.

Much of this can be outsourced nowadays with all the Virtual Assistants around, temp agencies hire out to do such tasks or hire someone else responsible if you can't get to this but know that these things NEED to get done - whether you do it or someone else it doesn't matter. We are not all SuperHeroes and we can't do it all - nor should you!

Then, to put a plan together on how to accomplish all of the things you want to do or change and what you have to do or delegate to get there - I urge you to take action with me. This is exactly what I do with my clients. I take them from where they are now to where they want to be in easy, manageable, implementable prioritized steps.

It's easier than you think but often times we need someone not so close to us to help pull it out of us. I want to motivate you and help you get to where you really want to be this year and beyond - let me help you.

To find out how we can work together to help you get focused and making smarter marketing decisions (oh and to make more money too of course!) either visit my coaching page, my do-it-yourself products page or attend my next local workshop.

I would also like to invite you to The Love and Money Business Summit where you can CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

You'll learn and walk away with:

• rate strategies to charge what you're worth and get it
• where to find customers who will pay what you deserve and what attracts them
• a realization that there's a different way of doing business than you've been taught
• new residual business models and ideas that can easily and quickly be added to what you're already doing

"Avoid the Shotgun Approach to Marketing Your Business and You Might Succeed" , part 1

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:04:00 +0000

• Are you doing everything you should be in the marketing of your business or is there something that's slipping through the cracks that could bring you a ton more money?

• Are you spending your dollars wisely or hap hazzardly to which ever sales rep walks in the door (or calls or emails you) each day?

• Do you have an actual marketing plan?

These are some of the questions you want to be asking yourself AND THEN - figure out how to fix this so you are making SMART MARKETING DECISIONS.

If you're like most small business owners, you get so busy working IN your business that when it's busy, you don't concentrate much on marketing and advertising. In fact many clients I've spoken with have said they often tell their advertising sales reps "just run the same ad as last month" when they call for new ad copy. They do this because they don't have time to think of what to do next.

But if you PLAN out your ads ahead of time, making sure your headlines, offers and messages are timely AND that they accurately and effectively will make your target market take notice and act on your ad then they will be much more effective and give you better results.

Or if you don't run ads....when you're busy with clients you don't make time to market for new ones until those ones are gone; then you wonder "where did they all go? I'd better do some marketing". This isn't smart marketing either because then you'll be so desperate to get new clients you'll do anything and quick!

Preparing a marketing plan is your first step. You might need to conduct some market research to determine who your ideal client is, what their needs are, how you can meet their needs, where you can find them, how you will reach them, and the daily activities you need to do to keep your funnel full. If you know the answers to these questions then you're ahead of the game (BUT ONLY AS LONG AS YOU ARE REALISTIC WITH THOSE ANSWERS).

Some of these activities may include networking, speaking, advertising, direct mail, attending seminars, holding or being guests on teleclasses, social networking, blogging, internet marketing and ezines. All of these are active forms of marketing that take your time, unless you can delegate some of the activities or automate them.

In my next blog post I will share more tips about marketing your business.

Who Dictates Your Price Tag?

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:00:00 +0000

How are you pricing yourself? Is it you who assigns the dollar signs or do you let your fears of the economy or what you "think" people will pay determine what you decide to charge for your time?

Think about this for a minute....

And WHY have you priced yourself (or your products and services) the way you have?

Or are you in a business (like a network marketing company) where you have NO IDEA what you're really making per hour? You just know you need to work HARDER to make more?

Want to figure out what you're actually making per hour? Is it above minimum wage? I can't tell you how many people I talk with who when we break it down in hours, time, numbers and figures they're actually making less than someone in a fast food restaurant.

Regardless of what you're doing or what business you're in I can almost 99% guarantee that you're NOT CHARGING ENOUGH!

How can I say that? Because I've seen it hundreds of times with hundreds of other entrepreneurs in all kinds of industries and types of businesses and frankly it's a shame.

The media has scared us into thinking no one is going to buy from us right now (in this economy) or that people aren't spending what they used to. And what does that do to our pricing strategies then or our self confidence about asking for the sale?

What if I told you there are PLENTY OF PEOPLE who will pay you what you're (really) worth but you may not even be talking to them right now? You may not have any idea where these people are because you're so used to doing business a certain way to a certain group of people?

Well, do you want to keep on struggling, doing things the same way and getting the same or worse results?

Or are you ready to learn some new strategies, open your mind to new ideas and develop an entirely NEW BUSINESS PLAN for yourself? One that includes:

• Charging what you're worth and getting it

• Serving from your bigger purpose

• Providing services, products and offerings that you're passionate about

• Enjoying a more freedom-based lifestyle

• Stepping into your greater, authentic self so you can be all you are meant to be

• Less worry, doubt and fear and MORE confidence, self worth and drive

If you're ready to stop living in fear of lack, uncertainty or unknowingness then take action today and RAISE YOUR RATES! And don't just raise them a couple dollars; raise them to what you want to be paid.

If you're confident about your new fees and show it, you'll start attracting those who believe in you, trust you and who will pay. If you're NOT confident though, of course they will not....so DECIDE to be confident too!

I would like to invite you to The Love and Money Business Summit where you can CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

You'll learn and walk away with:

• rate strategies to charge what you're worth and get it

• where to find customers who will pay what you deserve and what attracts them

• a realization that there's a different way of doing business than you've been taught

• new residual business models and ideas that can easily and quickly be added to what you're already doing

• the courage and confidence to step up and into your higher purpose

Do You Have a Book In You?

katrina@JumpStartYourMarketing.com (Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:00:00 +0000

My next Silver Mentor Program Teleclass is next Tueday, September 29th. The topic is: Do You Have a Book In You? --Want to find out how to get it out of you - write it, publish it and market it? With Special Guest Jan B. King

NOW is the time to start thinking about the process, strategy, theme, title, plan and online web presence even for your book if you’ve got one in you that you want to get out.

I am so thrilled to have special guest Jan B. King on the call. She is a publisher-turned-coach and one of the founders and the Editorial Director of eWomenPublishingNetwork, devoted to transforming women who are experts with important contributions in their fields into successfully published authors.

Ms. King was the President and CEO of Merritt Publishing, a recognized brand for financial information to professionals and consumers. Merritt Publishing was named the 44th largest woman owned/run business in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Business Journal.

Ms. King is the author of three books: Business Plans to Game Plans, Smart Women Publish and Authorsmarts. Her views on business and on publishing have been widely quoted in Investor’s Business Daily, Fortune Small Business, Working Woman Magazine, the American Bar Association’s Bar Leader magazine, Small Business USA, Business Finance, and the Los Angeles Business Journal.

Here are the topics we will cover:

• What are the steps in writing a successful book?
• How do I know if my idea is one that will sell and whether I have what it takes to write a book?
• I’ve heard so many different opinions about whether you can successfully self publish or whether it is better to find a publisher (if you can). Can you tell me how to know what is right for me?
• What is my role as an author – legally, financially and in selling the book?
