Spring is finally here in L.A. and we are all heading into the 2nd business quarter. I know some of you across the country are still experiencing cold and snow. Hang tight. Warmer weather is coming soon. :)
 
I have two very exciting options I know some of you will jump at. Please read on.
 
If you're like me, I am always looking for innovative ways to upgrade my biz even when I am super busy!  
 
Innovation is happening all around us and we need to know which strategies, tools, and marketing systems to really pay attention to and which ones can either wait or just plain ignore.  
 
I hear over and over from clients and friends, "There are so many new options out there all the time - what do I pay attention to?" 
 
Don't get caught up in one of the biggest time-wasters many of us lifestyle entrepreneurs are guilty of - "B.S.O.S." - Bright Shiny Object Syndrome! As entrepreneurs we are optimists and opportunists. That's a good thing but it can be just as detrimental to our business growth.
 
Why?  
 
We are known for being seduced by every NEW social media channel, tool, techy doo-dad that comes our way because we don't' want to miss an opportunity. It could be that magic bullet or million dollar opportunity?!  
 
Right?  
 
My recommendation: learn what is the best use of your time and energy in today's menu of gazillion options and update your business disciplines and marketing systems. This strategy and knowledge builds your brand and the critical "know, like and trust factor" that converts online engagement to revenues.  
 
This translates to... results happen when we BUILD THE BOND online.
 
As you know my schedule is typically very full but my schedule has shifted and for the next two months I have exactly 2 private client spots open and one group Mastermind day.
 
I am offering these at a special rate (discount) because it's springtime ( I feel good!) and I know some of you are ready to upgrade your branding, marketing, mindset and systems by summertime so you can time off with family and then move into a stellar fall season.  
 
So if you'd like to take advantage here's how. Click here  
 
To your success and fulfillment!

I have a GIFT for you!

I've decided to open up the April 11th Social Media Savvy Culture Club call, "The Magic of a Virtual Assistant: 5 secrets how they make money for you as you focus on your genius!"

Now is the time to really understand how to build a team, even if it's one person to help you grow your business. We will also share the online project management tool we use to stay organized and efficient.

After 4 years and several mistakes in hiring and working with VAs, I know a few things about what it takes to hire one, what to look for, what to expect, mistakes to avoid and what it takes to keep one! I'll share mistakes many entrepreneurs make that I want you to avoid.  
 
I'll have a VIRTUAL ASSISTANT CHECKLIST HANDOUT for you during the call.

You seriously don't want miss this call. The live content will change the way you operate your business and mindset immediately. I could NEVER get done all what I need without Crystal and her team.

It's not easy but VERY systematic with a team! I'll share some of the mistakes to avoid when hiring a VA and Crystal will share all the BENEFITS, details, and what it takes to make more MONEY in your biz. Hey, it takes a village to operate Marla!
 
Now's your chance to get a feel for our monthly calls and my style of coaching. You will find the Culture Club to be a simple but high content forum to learn personal branding, social currency, marketing tips, strategies, mindset and experience Money Breakthrough Method tools.

The year round membership is a great support to your ongoing online marketing efforts. I deliver a monthly marketing training teleclass on the 2nd Wed of each month from 12:30-1:30 pm Pacific with an audio download of the call as part of your membership benefits.

Members also receive a BONUS call about money or mindset every other month. I include articles, videos, and more content available on a private forum for viewing and download to your success library.
