Mary Foley - Increasing Women's Sanity, Confidence & Fun

Teleseminar Replay with Libby Gill is Here!

Just a quick note to let you know that the teleseminar with Libby Gill -- “3 Ways Your Brand is Driving Business Away” - - is now available .  Libby generously offered me the recording to share with everyone.  (yeah!)

Libby knows her stuff.  She was the PR and branding brain behind the launch of the Dr. Phil Show.  And she has been a vital part of guiding me to develop my Like Like Your Nail Color message and brand.

I thought her 3 ways your brand may be driving were so spot on!  But, I’m not going to tell you what they are.  You just gotta trust me and take a listen.

Plus, she told us about her new 4-week Mindshare Branding Teleseminar series she’s starting September 9th.  It’s all about capturing the heads AND hearts of those you intend to serve. 

 

Between getting super clear on your brand vision, figuring out powerful brand messaging, and her practical strategies for using traditional and social media to claim your expert status, it’s not only going to be chocked full of very useful stuff, it’s a deal-a-rama for sure at only $497!

 

Good gosh, that’s waaaaaaay below her hourly coaching rate and believe me, I know.  ;)

 

So, if you really want to shape up your brand and are feeling unsure how to do it, check into the Libby’s Mindshare Branding Teleseminar series.  It's worth it.

 

Cheers,

 

 

P.S. – Do your friend in biz a favor and forward this to him or her so they can check if they are doing these 3 things without even knowing it!

Not Fooling About Some Good News

Yesterday was Tom Foolery. 

Today is Mary non-Foolery … ha ha… at least for now (I haven’t told you about my April nail color.  More on that later.)

Seriously, I’m not fooling about some good news.  I was going to tell you yesterday but I didn’t want you to think it’s a joke. 

In less than 2 weeks on April 15th I’m part of a special workshop in Richmond, VA on “How to Create More Buzz With Less Bucks” from 9 am - 12:30 pm.  Along with myself there will be my radio show co-host Susie Galvez, social networking geek Garth Callaghan, and video guru Chris Piedade. 

(You might remember Garth and Chris were recent guests on our “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!” radio show on March 22.)

Here’s the good news:

You can register today or tomorrow for only $49!  (That’s 30 bucks off our Early Bird Rate of $79.)  All you have to do is use the coupon code “No Joke” when you register.

Why are we doing this workshop?  Simply is to share with other entreprenuers and small business owners our strategy and tools to keep and attract customers when bucks are tight.

The strategy Susie and I are doing is to become the ‘Go To’ person or company for what we do – myself as a motivational author/speaker and Susie as a beauty expert.  You can, too.

Yes, YOU.  Why not you?  While other business owners are retreating, you can boldly step up your reach out in positive, useful ways.  That type of attitude is always attractive, but even more so in today’s climate.

With that strategic perspective, Susie and I are using traditional media like newspapers, magazines, radio and TV to get exposure and attract people to us.  More recently we’ve added new media options such as blogs, social networking and video. 

(In fact, we think of our radio show as “traditional radio meets web 2.0 and social networking” because we’re blending several media at one time.)

Phew, I know it’s a lot to think about, let alone do! 

But, the reality is that traditional and new media are great no and low cost ways to get yourself out there and attract people you’re looking to serve.  The key is knowing WHICH traditional and new media YOU should use and WHY.

“How to Create More Buzz With Less Bucks” is not a workshops about how to the details of Facebook or all the ins and out of LinkedIn.  It’s not about the step by step to put your video on YouTube. 

Those things are valuable and you need to learn the basics.  Heck, we’re still learning! Which is why we’ve asking Garth and Chris to join us because they are way better at the more technical stuff than we are.

This workshop is about how to strategically position yourself as the Go To person or company for what you do AND which no or low-cost traditional and new media tools you should use to showcase your expertise.  It’s about reducing your confusion and overwhelm.

Holding the workshop on April 15th is no joke, either.

Yeah, we know April 15th is tax day.  We thought that’s a perfect day to do something to stimulate your own business.  Because you can’t rely on anyone or anything bailing you out!

What you can do is be smarter.

cheers,

I Didn't Win the Superbowl and I'm Not Going to Disney World BUT...

I sure feel I've won the Superbowl and I will soon be very near Disney World!

I'll explain but first I have to apologize.  Except for keeping you posted on what’s happening each week on my radio show “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!”, I haven’t been in touch much since the beginning of the year.  Whew, January ended up being way busier than expected!  But, lots of good busy so I’m not complaining.  In fact, I have some exciting news:

I landed a contract to write my next book!  I’m so excited!  Morgan James Publishing, who published my last book “Bodacious! Woman” is excited, too.  Guess what the title will be?  “Live Like Your Nail Color – Even If You Have Naked Nails!” 

I thought long and hard about that one, huh?  Truth is, I want to put what I’ve been sharing around the country in person on paper.  That way even more women can be inspired!  Don’t have a release date, yet, but I’ll keep you posted.  In fact, I may need your help so be on the lookout.

Well, clearly I do need your help in many ways.  Because this afternoon I got an e-mail from a gal Patti asking me when I’ll be in Central Florida again.  Wow, talk about a reminder!  With all the activity in bodacious-land, I almost forgot to let you know that I’m going to Florida next week to speak again to the ABWA Lakeland Downtown Chapter in Lakeland (smack in the middle between Orlando where Disney World is located and Tampa). 

We had such a great time last February that they invited me back again!  Let me just say if you’re looking for a quiet, boring luncheon, don’t come because you’ll be so disappointed.  These gals are full of energy and F-U-N!

I’ll be sharing about how to“Take the Work Out of Networking.”   Between people getting laid off and fewer customers, being a good networker is more important than ever. 

If you don’t like networking, all the better! 

No one EVER believes that I was a shy little girl growing up but it’s true!  It took me years to learn what I’ll be sharing in 45 minutes.  These days I can talk to a brick wall, if needed.  Thank the Good Lord such ability isn’t needed much, but just in case, I’m ready.  

Plus, if you can come, you get a copy of my book “Bodacious! Career:  Outrageous Success for Working Women” and a bottle of “Netconnecting Diva” nail polish! 

I figured there have got to be a few more Pattis out there who’d love to come.  In fact, Patti herself said she wanted to bring a bunch of girlfriends and make it extra fun.   Click here to get all the info you need to sign up yourself and your own Pattis.  Deadline is Saturday, February 7th!

More updates and inspiration to be courageously in charge of your life and loving it coming soon!

Cheers,
