    Des Moines Ranks High!

    According to Kiplingers Reports, we live in a great place!  Des Moines was just reported as one of the nations top 10 places to live!

    Yesterday news channel 8 was at Grey's Lake interviewing Des Moines-ians to talk about the greatness of the city.  Somehow I got interviewed and was on the news last night (I missed it, but a few friends texted me to let me know!)  I also photographed my friend Chris getting interviewed by Katie Piper.

    Each workshop will include two packed-full, intense days of learning and sharing.  These will be small, intimate groups and the information will be tailored to YOU.  We'll be settled in our gorgeous new studio space with lots of room to spread out, but I'll be sharing the pros and cons of the time I've spent all on-location, out of my home, as well as in a retail location. (I've been where YOU are, and I want to share with you what I've learned)  We'll talk about the right spot for YOU and how to make the very best of marketing and planning for the circumstance YOU are working in.

    As a single mom, I understand the struggle to find balance in this business that we love and our families as well as time for personal growth.  Take this time for YOU.  For coming together as a group for growth, for sharing, for learning and moving our businesses in the right direction. 

    Full two days  $695

    We'll have food brought in for lunch (included in your registration) so we won't have to stop for a second!  We'll also be spending Monday evening together writing marketing plans, working on pricing, setting goals, sharing sources of inspiration, etc. 

    We will explore: *Finding your niche and Defining your passion *Planning each part of your business to fit with-in your passion  *Defining your marketing personality *Marketing for low, low cost or FREE (I'm all about the free marketing) *Product development and presentation *the Client Experience *Successful Sales Strategies *and lots more!
