Watch for our upcoming
Transformational Technology for the Web Series!!

ALSO – Starting the end of June we will begin our  Transformational Technology for the Web Series!!  What is Transformational Technology  you may ask??!  Some times we get stopped or stuck because we are afraid of, intimidated by or simply just don’t understand how to navigate the technology of the web.  We are frozen not knowing what to do next, how to do it or who to trust to do it for you.

We want to transform your relationship to internet and empower you to get the most out of doing business on the web!  Our goal is to teach you the ins and outs of  utilizing the power of the internet so you are no longer intimated and overwhelmed.  You will be thriving and alive knowing what to do or having the resources at your finger tips!

We will be teaching you both the technical step-by-step how-tos as well as well as the ideas, theories and strategies behind everything from Keywords, to Blogging, to Search Engine Optimization, to Google Ad Words & Ad Sense, to Affiliate Programs, to Twitter, to Facebook, to Linked in, to Setting up a Website, to posting videos, etc, etc.

We will be pulling in experts who specialize in each area and to offer additional support.

BY THE WAY – IF YOU HAVE EXPERTISE IN
ANY OF THESE AREAS PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP!!

What’s New On The Women’s Small Biz Network for March 1st

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Wow!  Where did February go?? Have any of you been feeling a little disconnected and doing everything you possibility can just to stay on-top of things? Have you felt a bit exhausted tying to keep it all together???  You are not alone!   As I’ve talked with friends and colleagues they have been experiencing the same thing.  I know I definitely have!

Too often we suffer alone thinking that it’s just us, but when we can see the bigger picture we can see how we are all connected.  As we realize we are not alone, the “suffering” dissipates and we begin to support, nurture and inspire each other.  We are able to provide direction and purpose to move forward.

2 Ways to Catapult Your Business Forward

I have found TWO VERY POWERFUL METHODS of moving forward both personally and professionally that I would like to share with you!   These are the methods I use when I feel stuck or need some direction, guidance or simply motivation and support to take the next step.

1. A Personal or Business Coach

There are several wonderful coaches on the Women’s Small Biz Network – check out the Directory under coaching to see our Featured Coaches.http://api.ning.com/files/ySSYy7Mdr97rORVoMDmwnEX3ay7W74Tl-BMT-JfRQ9aPzvwNf94Ul8V0heDF7rkwTR1U5E-W0lrMi0bL1S0xpYw4P0hrlbWA/karensmile2.jpg?width=183&height=183&crop=1%3A1

I also have a couple of openings!  If you are looking at how to create a powerful business presence on the internet and attract abundance – That is my specialty. I will work with you on approaching life and business with an abundant mindset.  Make sure your business, passion & purpose are in proper alignment. And work with you on the practical/technical aspects of getting your message, product or service “out there” on the internet so your perfect clients can find you!  I only work with those that are highly motivated and ready for results.  To request a  personal interview or for more info please send me an e-mail at karen@wsbiznetwork.com or give me a call at (303) 349-1525.

2. MASTERMIND GROUP

Sometimes when we are just starting out, or don’t yet have the financial resources to hire a personal or business coach a Mastermind group can provide unbelievable support.  And for those of you who DO have a personal or business coach a Mastermind group is even more highly recommended as a way to take everything to the next level!

What is a MASTERMIND group??  Napoleon Hill in his book “Think and Grow Rich” lists “The Power of Mastermind” as the “Ninth Step towards Richs.”  It is a way to exponentially multiply our brain power, heart power, experience, knowledge and tap into infinite intelligence!

We believe that this is such an important aspect of business and personal life that we wanted to make available to ALL our members from the comfort of your own home or office.  Starting Next Wednesday  March 10th from 10am-Noon MST please join us for our…

10 WEEK On-Line BUSINESS & CREATIVITY BREAK-THROUGH MASTER MIND GROUP on The Women's Small Biz Network

10 WEEK On-Line
BUSINESS & CREATIVITY BREAK-THROUGH MASTER MIND GROUP
Wednesdays, March 10-May 12, 2010, 10 a.m.-noon MST

$65 – Investment for over 20 hours of feedback & support!!

Register Here

$50 – Special Price for WSBN Founding Members (That’s only $5 a session.)

Register Here

LIMITED TO ONLY 10 Participants

As master coaches, Karen Sherwood & Stephanie Roth will facilitate your journey as we each uncover and defuse the issues that are holding us back from achieving what we want.  Our focus is to provide each of us with breakthroughs in our business and creativity to move powerfully forward in pursuing our purpose and passions with abundance.

We will meet weekly for 10 weeks, via phone/webinar and have set-up this special Group/Forum on the Women’s Small Biz Network to communicate and share ideas between session.  We ask you to commit to attend all meetings if possible, to build trust within the group and for everyone to get the maximum benefit.

We Look forward to what we all can create TOGETHER!

What’s New – On The Women’s Small Biz Network for Feb 1st

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Greetings To All You Wonderful & Powerful Women!!

Can you believe it is already February?!

Karen Sherwood with Gregg Braden after his workshop - "2010 and Beyond - the Shift has Begun!"Wow!! What a Weekend! I had the pleasure of meeting Gregg Braden at his workshop – “2012 and Beyond – the Shift has Begun!” Big thanks to Donna Visocky of Bella Spark Productions (one of our Founding Members of The Women’s Small Biz Network) for bringing him into Ft Collins! If you have never attended one of Donna’s Events or read her magazine BellaSpark- you should definitely check them out! http://www.bellaspark.com/Donna Visocky, Jodi Rubendall-Porter and Karen Sherwood at Gregg Braden's workshop

For those of you who attended my “Prosperity Shift” workshop – Oh my goodness – I am so excited! What Gregg Braden shared was so in-line with what I talked about in the “Prosperity Shift”! I am close to having the follow-up program ready – so you should be hearing from me some time this week. If you weren’t able to attend – I’m in the process of scheduling the Next Workshop near the end of February – so stay tuned!

Watch Gregg Braden as he talks about Fractal Time

Heart-Brain Coherence – Reduce Stress and Increase Attraction

In the “Prosperity Shift” I spoke about an Emotional Thermostat Set-Point. At lower set-points it is more difficult to manifest what you want. A lower set point is expressed in emotions such as fear, jealousy, blame, doubt, worry. At a higher set-point – expressing emotions such as belief, happiness, joy, appreciation – you have an increased ability manifest exactly what you want.Stress Relief on The Women's Small Business Network

How do you know what your Set-Point is?? How can you increase your Set-Point and how do you know you are increasing it? GOOD QUESTIONS!

One way, of course, is continually noticing how you feel. If you feel good – you are are at a higher set-point. Feeling bad you are at a lower set-point. But wouldn’t it be cool if you could actually measure it???

Gregg Braden introduced us to a new system that is absolutely amazing! It is called the emWave. In main-stream marketing it is being introduced as as a way to Reduce Stress – which of course it does and guess what! When you reduce stress (stress is caused by lower set-point emotions) you open the pathways to experience the higher set-point emotions and open up the natural flow of healing and manifestation. How cool is that?!

This is an actual computer program (or you can get a hand held devise) that has the ability to measure your stress level and tracks your progress as you practice and learn to change your emotional state.

Here is how they describe it on their website….”emWave Mac is an easy-to-use software program and patented heart rhythm monitor designed to prevent, manage and reverse the negative effects of stress, anxiety, fatigue, depression and more. The system is an innovative approach to stress relief based on learning to change the heart rhythm pattern and create physiological coherence in the body. Coherence is a highly efficient state where all the systems of the body work together in harmony. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV), or heart rhythms, is recognized as a powerful, non-invasive measure that reflects heart-brain interactions and autonomic nervous system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in the emotional state.”

Check it out! I’ll be sharing more soon!

One of the things I talked about in the seminar was the “5 Levels of Manifestation” – I just posted this video on the Network so you too can also get a sense of what those 5 Levels are.

Greg Braden – 2012 and Beyond, The Shift Has Begun – This Weekend

Join Us for An Evening and Full Day Workshop with Gregg Braden

The world is in a period of unprecedented change. The Shift is happening! We are at a cross-road where both chaos and new order are emerging simultaneously.

- What secrets will 2012 reveal?

- Are we headed for global disaster or planetary peace?

- Will the 2012 alignment signal a cataclysmic final chapter in earth’s history or the emergence of a new age of peace and prosperity?

Be a part of a once-in-a-lifetime experience – a mind-bending multi-media event that challenges everything you thought you knew about the real message of the Mayan calendar and the 2012 end date, the heart/mind/body connection, and the individual’s ability to dramatically impact the future of our planet.

Tickets: $35 – $45

www.lctix.com or 970-221-6730

Gregg Braden, whose work bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and technology, has unlocked the secrets of 2012. The New York Times bestselling author of such groundbreaking books as The Divine Matrix and The Spontaneous Healing of Belief adds yet another paradigm-shattering book to his impressive resume, Fractal Time, in which Braden offers a bold, new perspective on what 2012 holds for our planet and its inhabitants. www.greggbraden.com

“Gregg Braden is a rare blend of scientist, visionary and scholar with the ability to speak to our minds, while touching the wisdom of our hearts.” – Deepak Chopra

Women’s Small Biz Network Google Rankings!!

I was checking out our Google and I wanted to share with you some exciting information I discovered!

Many of you have asked – what is the point of Social Networking – I don’t have time for Twitter or Facebook…

Let me illustrate why they could be important when it comes to Google Rankings.

Women's Small Biz Network Google Rankings

If you Googled “Women’s Biz Network” out of 1,770,000 listings the Women’s Small Biz Network’s TWITTER page is on the 1st Page and is Major Listing #2 (it was listing #1 this weekend)

Womens Small Biz Network Google Listings 2

When Googleing “women’s small biz” – The Women’s Small Biz Network’s Facebook page is on the 1st Page and is the 3rd Major Listing out of  1,050,000 listings!!

Here is the Cool Thing for YOU!   As a Member of the Women’s Small Biz Network whenever you post a Blog directly on the Women’s Small Biz Network it is ALSO posted to our TWITTER and our FACEBOOK sites.  That means more exposure for you and your business!!

There are very few women taking advantage of this opportunity to get their information out there.  I invite you to start posting your own Blogs on the Women’s Small Biz Network – especially if you don’t have your own blog!  This is a great place to start and practice. (Also, keep your eyes open – we have some upcoming training to help you create your own blog, Twitter page and Facebook Page)

Here are few Blogging guidelines to help you out.

What to post in the Blog…

Blogs are place to post valuable information to build a relationship with your potential clients/customers.
Here are some ideas…

  • * Share Recipes
  • * Share How To’s
  • * Share interesting stories/learnings/observations
  • * Share best practices
  • * Share little know facts about your industry
  • * Share thoughts and ideas
  • * Share interests/hobbies/passions to get people to know you personally
  • * etc.

Here are some things to think about when adding a blog post

  • * If you can add a photo or video your message becomes much more visually interesting.
  • * Be sure to add your contact  information and website at the end of the blog so people can find you and follow-up
  • * Blogs are NOT a place to blatantly sell your products. Subtlety is key. Get people interested in finding out more. Allow your products to sell themselves AFTER you’ve created a feeling of trust with your potential client/customer.
  • * Make it personal and real when you can – you want people to get to know who you are.

Again – Keep your eyes open!  We will be sharing much more information in our upcoming webinars!

Wishing you a Wonderful and Prosperous Week!  You Deserve It!
