The Four Building Blocks Of Growing a Business – Key #1

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

Do You know what the Four Key Building Blocks are in Building a Business??

Key Building Block #1:

Why? – You need a Big Why – Why are you doing this? (It’s bigger than just making money.) The most important, least asked question in business – Why?

I recently attended the Business Maturity Date and Ideal Lifestyle Workshop and it has helped me and my team get a whole new perspective on what’s possible with the Women’s Small Biz Network.  And that why we wanted to offer it to all of you!! ( See http://3to5online.com for more details)

My Big Why is “Living The Dream” and inspiring others to do the same! Imagine a world where everyone was doing what they loved to do and what they were meant to do – everyone was living their purpose and their passion and living their dream.

Our goal on the Women’s Small Biz Network is to “Empower Women to Live Their Dreams Both in Business and In Life” The Dalai Lama said, “The world will be saved by the Western Woman.”

A woman living her passion empowers not only herself as an individual, but it also empowers the men in her life, it empowers her children, her family, and her community, and it causes a ripple effect throughout the entire world. To me, this is a game worth playing.  If, through the Network, I can empower even just one woman to fully step into the power of who she is and give her the tools to create a successful business that supports her, her family, and her lifestyle, then I have fulfilled my purpose and I am living my dream.

With this “Big Why” in mind we have begun to focus in how to use the Women’s Small Biz Network to empower YOU at a whole new level.  Here is a preview of what we will are launching…

3 to 5 Club

Our first 3 to 5 Club kicked off in October 2011!! We have created a powerful partnership with the Crankset Group that will allow us to offer the 3 to 5 Club to all the women on the Network.

This on-line club will support YOU in making more money in less time, enable you to use your business to build your ideal lifestyle within 3 to 5 years, and connect & collaborate on a whole new level with like-minded women entrepreneurs!

Want to know more? Visit http://www.3to5online.com

 

The Women’s Small Biz Network Starter Kit

Many of you have asked how you can get the most out of the network.  We have created a 10-step process to train you, let you know what the network has to offer and help you get the most out of the resources that are available.  The Starter Kit contains coupons, discounts, and free month of the Tap Into Your Power Hour, a Business Assessment and free 30-minute coaching session. Anyone currently on the network can get the Starter Kit at a greatly reduced price.

Anyone who is a Founding or Featured Member is welcome to add a coupon for their product or services to our Starter Kit.  Send me an e-mail at karen@wsbiznetwork.com for more information.

With the release of the Starter Kit, we have also started charging a small set-up fee for any brand new members to add their business profiles to the Network. If you are currently a part of the network and already have a profile, your set-up fee has been waived and you will remain an active member of the Network. Sign up as an affiliate to get paid for helping us grow the network.

Tap Into Your Power Hour

Take your skills to the next level.  The Tap Into Your Power Hour provides month-long training and group coaching sessions on technical and empowerment topics such as Social Media, Creating a Blog, Finding your Passion, Marketing, etc.

Click on the Events tab above to see what’s coming up in the next few Tap Into Your Power Hour months. We have some exciting speakers lined up!

 

 

Free Business Building Webinar Series

We have two regular Free Webinar Series where you can learn valuable information to help you with your business and your life, and get to know the women on the Network. YOU ALSO have an opportunity to lead one of our webinars and share your knowledge and expertise with the world!

KICK OFF YOUR SHOES & COLLABORATE This webinar series highlights the skills, talents and expertise of the women on the Network!  Everything from “Stepping Into Your Power” to “How To Keep & Archive Your Photos” to “The Importance of Buying Organic.”  There is a rich source of knowledge and expertise that can support you in all areas of life.

HOW CAN YOU LEAD A WEBINAR?

We have two options for leading a webinar…

1.  If you are teaching business skills and have an affiliate program with a regular product, course or service you offer we would love to talk with you further about creating a joint venture partnership. We believe in Win-Win-Win collaborations and we would love to see how your information could benefit our members.  Please send me an e-mail directly at karen@wsbiznetwork.com for more information.

2.  If you would like to lead a webinar on ANY TOPIC and would like to utilize that webinar to offer valuable information, bring more recognition to your product or service, create a digital product that you can sell, give-away, or use as promotion – we offer several different webinar production packages.  We support you by taking care of all the technical issues, giving you a platform and an audience, helping you create, promote & market your webinar. We also give you a master copy of the video file, audio file, and DVD Master and support in using that material in your own marketing efforts in create additional streams of revenue for your business.

Four Important Things You Should Know on The Women’s Small Biz Network!

Monday, June 20th, 2011

Happy Summer all You Amazing Women!

Wow – has anyone else noticed that there has been a lot of shifting going on lately?

My husband & I just moved.  When our house went on the market, we figured we had at least a few months before we had to think about packing and moving. Thanks to the work I’m doing with the Prosperity Shift our house sold in ONE DAY and we found  a new place, packed and moved in less than a month!!  Sometimes when change happens, it happens quickly.  It’s been a whirlwind,  but things are aligning in magical ways and everything is manifesting in perfect order!

We are all being called to step into who we are truly meant to be, and to do what we are here on this planet to do!!  The time is now!  The Universe works in mysterious ways. Jobs, relationships, homes, lifestyles, activities, all the things that are not in alignment with who we are, are beginning to fall away or jolt us into waking up.  Sometime it’s difficult to let go; however, the more we hang on, the harder and the more painful the transition.

I have been fortunate, but I know many others who have been struggling.

It’s time to get re-focused, re-grounded and re-aligned with our purpose and passion!

Acceptance on The Women's Small Biz NetworkThe Women’s Small Biz Network has gone through its growing pains as well in looking for its purpose and direction.  I was struggling for quite some time trying to do everything myself and feeling like I could barely keep my head above water.  My KEY learning? Ask for and ACCEPT help!  I realized I was asking for the help – I was just not ACCEPTING it.  ACCEPTANCE is the key to shifting to the next level of awareness and moving forward in these crazy, unpredictable times!

When life has turned everything upside down, sometimes it’s hard to know who we are and what we are meant to do.  We may have a vague idea or maybe we are questioning our current direction.

Believe me, WE UNDERSTAND!!

Stephanie Roth and I have been working with a system called Human Design.  It’s an amazing and revolutionary system that reveals the DNA of your true nature and helps you to understand and live your life according to your unique Human Design.  This allows you to understand your essence and live  true to your nature, while letting go of the conditioned, inauthentic, hollow beliefs  of  what you think “should be.“  It also provides a lot of much-needed validation to know that  you are on the right path!

In using this process on ourselves and aligning it to our businesses we have tapped into a whole new level of Power for ourselves personally that we have been able to harness to gain focus for the Women’s Small Biz Network as well as for our individual projects and businesses.

It has given us a whole new level of ACCEPTANCE – accepting ourselves, who we are, and what we have to offer the world as well as the right business vehicles necessary for our success.  It has allowed me personally to accept the help I need and create the team necessary to move the Women’s Small Biz Network to the next level.

A Big Thank You to each of you for hanging in there with me!

We have so much stuff happening and I don’t want you to miss anything!

So…..Here are the  Four Important Things You Should Know!

#1– We Have NEW OFFICIAL WSBN TEAM MEMBERS

If not, you can view all the past free webinars at http://www.womenssmallbiznetwork.com/womens-small-biz-network-training/. We have posted a bunch of new ones recently, so catch up!

We are always looking to fill our schedule for our two basic free webinar series:

  • Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. MST (9:00pm EST, 8:00 CST, 6:00 PST): Kick Off Your Shoes and Collaborate

From watching or attending our previous webinars, we hope you’ve been wondering, “How can *I* give a webinar?!” Part of the mission of WSBN is for our members to help each other grow their businesses, share what they do, and get to know each other—to connect and collaborate. All these purposes can be accomplished if YOU give a webinar! In addition, you can use your webinar to promote your business to your other networks, clients, and colleagues, and we even have options to take this concept to the next level.

TIP: Every webinar should be an introduction to your work that ends with an offer of how your listeners can take the next step or get more information, whether it’s a class, a discovery session, a package, or a product!

Consider this your personal invitation to schedule your webinar. We are preparing our schedule for the upcoming months and would love for you to participate. Nervous? Watch Karen Sherwood’s webinar on “How to Do A Webinar!” to allay any fears you may have!

Below are all the details for you to get started. If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Roth by phone at 303.410.8167 or by email at stephanie@wsbiznetwork.com.

Why should I do a webinar?

There are so many reasons to do a webinar!

  • Putting it together will help you craft an offer that will sell products or services for you.
  • Delivering it will make you more comfortable speaking.
  • Completing it will give you a product you can sell or use to promote your business.
  • All this will help you GROW YOUR BUSINESS!

Part of creating your webinar is to include an offer that will bring people into your practice or classes or programs. (However, remember that the webinar is NOT a sales pitch! It should provide valuable information for your target market.)

This or future webinars can also result in products you can sell or use as a free gift when people opt in to your website or mailing list.

What can I talk about?

We have two regularly scheduled webinars each week, and can accommodate additional dates/times (just ask!):

  • Kick Off Your Shoes and Collaborate
    Tuesdays: 9:00 p.m. Eastern /8:00 p.m. Central/7:00 p.m. Mountain/6:00 p.m. Pacific
    These webinars are topics of general interest, not necessarily about business; we’ve had ones on how to write a book, about nutrition and energy work, and even one on how to do a webinar!
  • Marketing Mastermind & Business Skills for the Busy Woman (and curious men!)
    Thursdays: 5:30 p.m. Eastern /4:30 p.m. Central/3:30 p.m. Mountain/2:30 p.m. Pacific
    These webinars are more relevant to business; they cover marketing and technology topics. Again, we can have a broad range of topics here as well.

How do I prepare for my webinar?

Each webinar is one hour plus about 15 minutes for introductions and questions. You can make your webinar interactive or present it more like a lecture with time for questions at the end. Be sure to include a slide with your contact information and if you want to make an offer to participants for a special you are running in your business, you are welcome to do so. Please don’t make the whole webinar a sales pitch. Instead, plan to give a lot of valuable and interesting content that leads up to your offer and makes people want to work with you.

To make the best use of the “web” part of the webinar, prepare a PowerPoint presentation. This can be as complicated or as simple as you want. A webinar is kind of like going to the ballet—it’s a concert with something to watch!

You will sit in the comfort of your own home, in front of your computer, either on the phone or using a microphone connected to your computer. We don’t need your slides—you’ll be running the show. A WSBN representative will monitor the guests, introduce you, act as host, and take care of the recording.

We ask you to call in about 15 minutes before the start of the webinar to make sure everything is working okay.

How will people find out about the webinar?

The WSBN will promote your webinar to all 600+ members of the network, as well as on Facebook and Twitter. We encourage you to invite everyone you want to join in. We’ll provide you with the GoToWebinar registration information. Anyone who wants to view the webinar will need to register. Participants can watch and listen on the web, or watch on the web and call in, or just call in. There is no cost to participants beyond the cost (if any) of a long-distance call.

How much does it cost to do a webinar?

It depends on your membership level in WSBN. As a Featured Member of the Women’s Small Business Network, you have the privilege of giving one webinar each year as part of your membership at no additional cost. If you are a free member or a non-member, the cost is only $149. Either way, WSBN will:

  • Promote your webinar on WSBN, Facebook, and Twitter
  • Host your webinar, and introduce you
  • Record and edit your webinar
  • Post your webinar on the Women’s Small Business Network

I don’t have a clue as to how to go about preparing to do a webinar!

No problem. WSBN can provide you with a coach who can show you how to use PowerPoint, help you craft your offer, and how to structure your presentation to maximize participation by your audience. The cost is only $125/hour for Featured Members and $145/hour for others.

What if I want to make my webinar available to my clients or prospects?

Your clients and prospects are welcome to view the webinar on our website. If you’d like to give them a DVD or CD (audio only), you are welcome to order more copies. Here are some options:

Webinar Upgrade Package

  • DVD Master Copy of your webinar
  • CD Master Copy of the audio of your webinar
  • Email addresses of all attendees

The cost of the Basic Upgrade Package is $125 for Featured Members; $150 for all others

Additional Services

  • Coaching on how to do a webinar, how to use PowerPoint, or how to structure your webinar to include your offer and get people to sign up for your services.
  • Copies of the DVD or CD with graphically designed labels
  • Transcription of your webinar
  • Editing and/or reformatting your transcription into an eBook
  • Packaging options (for example, CD, DVD, and transcript in a binder with artwork)
  • Setting up a shopping cart item to allow your customers to buy copies of your webinar
  • Editing of webinar into 10-minute segments you can post on YouTube
  • Increasing web traffic using segments of your webinar and Traffic Geyser
  • Lead generation (opt-in) pages to capture email addresses to add to your database

If you are interested in any of these services, please email your requirements and we will give you a quote.

What do I do next?

To schedule your webinar, please complete the Order Form at the end of this letter and send it to stephanie@wsbiznetwork.com. We will need the following information:

  • Your first, second, and third choice of dates (available dates are shown on the calendar, but are subject to change)
  • Your name, title, email address, and phone number the way you want them listed (we won’t list your phone, but it makes it easy to contact you with questions). Include the same information for additional presenters, if any.
  • Catchy title and subtitle for your webinar
  • Enticing description (2-4 paragraphs) about what information or transformation your audience will receive
  • 3-4 bullet points that summarize what attendees will learn
  • 2-3 paragraphs on why you are an expert and a link to your website
  • ATTACH your Photo. It makes our life easier if it is sized to 100 X 100 pixels

We look forward to supporting you in sharing your gifts, passion and knowledge!  If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

I Have a Confession to Make

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Big Greetings to all you Fabulous Women!

Summer Sun on the Women's Small Business NetworkHas this been a crazy fast summer or what?!  I don’t know about you, but for me I’ve been doing everything I can just to keep up!

I have a confession to make – for the most part I’ve been doing the Women’s Small Biz Network by myself.  Yes, I talk about collaboration and then I continue to wear all the hats and do EVERYTHING myself. (anyone relate?!)  So, this summer I have been reaching out and creating new partnerships and teaming up with some FABULOUS WOMEN!  It’s been a learning curve for me and I thank you all for your patience with me.  I am a big thinker and visionary and sometimes getting things implemented to match my vision is not always as easy or as quick as I think it will be, but stay tuned!  We have some exciting things in store!

Here’s a sneak peek and what’s coming up…..

  • >> For all you wonderful women who attended the “How to Get The Most Out of The Women’s Small Biz Network” I mentioned the Member Challenge – Hint: You can still get a head start.  We will be inviting everyone and announcing the contest and prizes soon! Member Challenge
  • >> I am scheduling regular webinars to support you on the Network and getting recordings posted
  • >> We are re-doing the Membership Levels so that you can get the support you need to start or grow your business.
  • >> We are putting together a plan to create “in person” Networking Events around the country & the world.
  • >> Educational Webinars to gain skills in starting and growing your business.
  • >> And More….

Yes – I’ve been a bit busy and NO I can’t do it all by myself anymore. 
Let me know if you have an interest in being a part of the Women’s Small Biz Network Power Team!

We are almost at 500 Members!! Wow!  Time to take things to the next level!

Here’s a few things we currently have on the schedule to get you up to date!
