Dear
Shawn,
Thank you for receiving my newsletter - read below to learn how you could win a *fabulous prize (* - fabulous is relative of course)!
"In life and business, there are two cardinal sins.. The first is to act precipitously without thought and the second is to not act at all." - Carl Icahn
The first article you'll see below is on a local business owner with an amazing story. He recognized he was in trouble, developed a solid plan and took action - and the results are unbelievable!
Check out the workshop on June 26th on how to Attract More Customers. I've received great feedback on this and I'm adding some practical ideas on advertising to make it even better! Click on the link above for more info and registration.
Finally - about the free prize! - I'm looking for more participation and feedback on my blog (which I write to help people grow their business). I am giving away a $25 Borders Books Gift Card this month to the reader that does the best job of participating on my blog (I'm looking for quality rather than quantity). A good comment could be telling me why my post is off the mark or just filling in things that I've missed. Here's the link to my blog - so click through and start commenting, there are lots of posts to choose from so find something that's interesting and interact!
I help small business owners that are feeling overwhelmed, lonely or just not sure what their next step should be to grow their business. If you know of someone that might be interested in that I would love to meet them - I'll even buy the coffee!!!
Have a great day and I hope to talk to you soon!
Shawn

And you thought Milk was a commodity
If you haven't heard the story of Shatto Milk, then you definitely need to check this out.
If you have heard the story, then I'd love to get your opinion on what has enabled him to go from a total commodity in 2003 to a recognized and valuable brand (at least locally) that has won awards for tourism, environmental concerns and small business success.

How
to
Escape
from
your
Business
-
the
1st
step |
|
Your business is a tool to get what you want out of life!
Having your own business, being the entrepreneur conjures up imagery of independence, freedom, wide open spaces and a path to prosperity.
If that's the case, how come I keep talking to business owners that are feeling trapped, closed in and overwhelmed with all the stuff they have to do?
They spend most of their time (and then some) fighting fires, trying to keep up with day to day activities and even though they are doing well and still make progress, it's often in spite of what they're doing.
In short, they don't own their business, their business owns them.
What can you do to get out of this predicament?

 Comapping.com
There are a lot of ways to brainstorm things, but one that a lot of people have used to great success is the idea of mind-mapping.
Comapping.com offers a web-based tool that you can quickly and easily create a mind-map on, but even better than that you can collaborate online or off, you can share it with a group and use it as a planning and documentation tool. Check it out - the first month is free, and it's only $25 for a year's subscription.

 Wicked

The
Musical
Wicked is the Broadway musical extravaganza that has been setting box office records throughout it's 4 1/2 year run.
I had a chance to see the show last week and wrote up my review on the show and why I think it's doing so well from a business perspective.
