Do you feel overwhelmed at the prospect of constantly writing new information and content or creating new products for your business? Most professional service business owners do, and if you’re like them, you do little or nothing to market your business or create information products. Instead, you hope and pray that customers continue to call you and that work continues to show up at your doorstep. This “flying by the seat of the pants” strategy may work well for awhile, but then the unthinkable happens: the calls stop, no one is hiring you, and your marketing well is completely dry.

What do you do now? Become a Repurposing Profit Machine! By writing as few as 2 articles per month, you can continuously drive traffic to your site, become recognized as an expert in your field, add passive revenue streams to your income, and put your marketing on auto-pilot.

In this teleclass, you’ll learn:

– The best way to write an article to repurpose
– The repurposing time management secret
– The 20+ ways that you can repurpose every single article that you write as either a marketing strategy or passive revenue strategy — or both!
– How to create a repurposing plan that works
– The keys for developing a repurposing mindset
– Next steps to take

Virtual Assistant Chamber of Commerce Presents:

Niche Clarity: How To Choose A Niche That Fits YOU Like a Glove!

Presented by Cari Vollmer of Life on Track

DATE: Thursday, May 15, 2008
TIME: 5pm PST / 6pm MST / 7pm CST / 8pm EST
DURATION: 60 minutes (please call in 10 min. early)
COST: FREE!

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This class is open to all Virtual Assistants, small/boutique business owners, solo professionals, solopreneurs and independent professionals. Invite your business buddies! Feel free to copy and paste the contents on this page, and post invitations on the forums, listservs and groups you participate in.

• Are you resisting the idea of choosing a NICHE to focus on in your business?
• Are you tired of feeling like a wallflower in your area of expertise?
• Would you like to attract new clients and make more money?

Cari Vollmer, the Passions into Profit mentor and founder of LifeOnTrack.com, will teach you how to choose a NICHE that fits YOU like a glove.

Cari comes to her path of passion and profit naturally. Her parents were successful restaurateurs for more than 20 years. She helped her husband launch his own successful small business over a decade ago, and her grandmother wrote children’s books back in the day when women were more apt to be in the kitchen cooking than honoring their passions. Yes, she’s comes to this path of passion naturally, but if you don’t, that’s OK, that’s what she’s here for!

She knows from first-hand, in-the-trenches experience what you must know and do to launch, and then run, a successful small business that’s also a reflection of your passions and divine life’s purpose. It’s not rocket science, and you can do it!

Choosing a niche (target market) is a major stumbling block for most solopreneurs and small business owners. In this high-content, high-value teleclass, Cari will demystify the niche-choosing process by sharing with you:

• Obstacles to Choosing Your Niche
• An Empowering New Way of Defining What a Niche Is
• 3 Ways to Discover Which Niche is Best For YOU
• Why Choosing Your Niche MAY NOT Be the Best Thing for Your Business Right Now
• What Needs to Come BEFORE Choosing Your Niche

Cari states, “If you’re a small business owner you have a divine purpose to share what you know — your gifts — with others. THAT’S why it’s important to know which niche you serve. Your gift is best suited to a certain group of people and finding them will transform you business.”

Presented by: Alexis Martin Neely

Topic: Show the Universe You Mean Business About Your Business

Giveaway #1: Free .mp3. Alexis Interviews renowned author, Michael Gerber, known world wide for this E-Myth books that have touched the lives of millions! This call is all about Michael’s newest book, “Awakening the Entrepreneur Within YOU”.

Giveaway #2: Family Wealth Planning Session with a Personal Family Lawyer. ($750.00 Value)

America’s #1 Personal Family Lawyer Alexis Neely shares the secrets aware entrepreneurs know that allow them to take maximum business risk with minimum personal risk. The universe responds to the signals it’s given about the belief you have in your own success. If you aren’t operating your business like a real business, you are holding yourself back from the massive success you want and deserve. Follow Alexis’ easy recipe for showing the Universe you mean business about your business and watch as you leapfrog to the next level of success.

Alexis Martin Neely is not your average attorney. In fact, she’s anything but ordinary. After graduating first in her class from Georgetown Law, Alexis went to work at the most selective firm in Los Angeles, Munger, Tolles & Olson, founded by Warren Buffett’s personal lawyer, Charlie Munger. While there, Alexis discovered what it meant to be a true personal lawyer and how difficult that was in a traditional law firm.

In 2003, Alexis founded the law firm of Martin Neely & Associates where she quickly discovered that the traditional business model just didn’t serve clients because it required a constant focus on bringing in new clients and no incentive for continued communication with existing clients. Alexis met with family after family facing the devastation of failed estate plans because their loved one had set up a Will or a Trust and thought everything was taken care of … but it wasn’t. This even happened in Alexis’ own family when she was in law school.

And, as a mom, Alexis realized that the traditional estate plan left minor children at risk of being taken from their home or even being raised by someone their parents wouldn’t want if both their parents were in an accident.

Alexis quickly found solutions to these problems and restructured her own law practice to address them and began to train other lawyers to do the same. As the founder of the Family Wealth Planning Institute, Alexis has identified 40 lawyers so far as Personal Family Lawyers, all of whom:

• have the expertise to put in place plans that assure kids are raised with their parents values, insights, stories and experience,
• help clients make great decisions for their families throughout their lifetime,
• ensure their clients’ plans will work for life and are there for clients’ loved ones after death, and
• give their clients the tools to pass on not only their financial wealth, but their whole family wealth

In addition, Alexis created the free website www.KidsProtectionPlan.com, which teaches parents how to choose the right guardians for their kids and avoid 1 of 6 common mistakes and even lets parents legally document their decisions free. And, you can subscribe to her Family Wealth Secrets online magazine and receive a free weekly Family Wealth Building tip at www.FamilyWealthMatters.com.

Don’t miss Alexis’ next Free Call for Moms on March 19, 2008 at 10am PST and 1pm EST by getting registered at www.MomsFreeCall.com. On this call she’ll show you how to get your financial house in order, take control of your finances and secure your children’s future.

Her passion for changing the industry’s standard has earned her recognition as a Super Lawyer Rising Star in Los Angeles Magazine and as one of Worth Magazine’s Top 100 Lawyers and the Wall Street Journal, Worth Magazine and Lawyer’s Weekly among many others.

What are the conscious and subconscious acts that limit your ability to succeed in business and in life?

Barbara Grassey, author of “Don’t Make Me Slap You,” will be presenting “Small Business: No Place for Sissies” at a complimentary teleseminar on Thursday, March 20th, 2008 at 8 pm EST. The teleseminar is being hosted by the Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce.

During the teleseminar, Barbara will cover five common mistakes made by small businesses. A former stand up comic, her brash, in-your-face style wraps the hard realities of business in humor to soften the blow.

“We are the biggest stumbling blocks to our own success. I show people how to stop making excuses, and start taking charge of their lives and their businesses.”

Some of the topics that will be covered in the one-hour teleseminar are:

• Signing your own permission slip
• Fear as your traveling companion (because Thelma and Louise are already taken)
• Following is for sheep
• Modeling–it’s not just for anorexics anymore
• Why your clients’ success depends on your success
• Controlling your end result.

Barbara preaches that you can’t be timid.

“Your clients’ success is directly dependent on your success. You owe it to your clients to fully commit to your business and take the lead in your industry. You owe it to yourself to lead the life you want.”
