Ready to become part of one of the most important movements in 2010?

Join myself and hundreds of beautiful souls on November 2 – 4, 2010 in Los Angeles, California

(Make sure you check out the PS in this email to see who is already committed to becoming part of the Smart Women Change the World Movement this Fall!)

Why Us and Why Now?

I am sure by now, you have heard the Dalai Lama’s quote about the western woman and our mission. No? He said, “The world will be saved by the western woman.”

And I personally believe  it will be the “entrepreneurial” western woman that saves the world!

I know, it is a bold statement for sure.  But bold statements lead to bold action and to much needed positive change.

To make sure you are ready to do your part in saving the world, I am hosting what will be a life-changing magical 3 day event this Fall!

The Smart Women’s Business Conference and Expo is designed to empower and encourage growth from within—which is exactly what our world needs right now.

Join me and over 300 other women and men as we reconstruct what it means to live on purpose, live in passion, and live profitably.

Welcome to all of our new Smart Women Members!  I hope you are enjoying August weather where ever you are. I have started hiking more lately because the summer days are almost gone. Which reminds me,  I only have a few short days left until my older children head back to school.  This will be the last year for each of them in their current school.  My middle school child will go to high school next year and my elementary child will go to middle school next year and then finally my sweet little boy will head off to Kindergarten next year. So I have set the intention to savor this transitional year as it begins.

Amilya rose to the national stage in the early ‘90’s, when she discovered that the cleaning products she was using to clean her home every Tuesday were causing life-threatening ailments for her infant son. This led to the launch of Amilya’s Soapworks, a line of hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and biodegradable cleaning products. As one of the first Mommies to go “green”, she documented her son’s journey back to health in her first book, Why David Hated Tuesdays. Her Soapworks story has been featured on Oprah, CBS News as well as in Time, People, and Working Mother to name a few and as a regular guest on CNBC’s “The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch”.

How are you? I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself so far this year.

I just wanted to take a few moments of your time to let you know about a very special call I am hosting this Monday, January 25 at 1 pm Central (11 am PST, Noon MST, and 2 pm EST).

Call in number: 1-800-662-6992
Code: 1020261

On Monday, I will share what you must know about “Powerful Online Business Models”. You don’t want to miss this call as I will be sharing brand new information and special enrollment opportunities for a small group of motivated clients.

Why Business Models?

Here is the deal, if you are going to work really hard to get your passion out into the world through a business, you might as well choose a business model that is way more magnetic to other companies, leaders, and customers. It just doesn’t make sense to work harder when you don’t have to. Trust me, I know. I personally served over 3000 service-based business owners over the last 10 years and I have seen from the inside how hard people can work for minimal results. You need to know what I know about leverage and business models. You can literally completely change your results by just changing your business model!

Here is a little bit of what I will discuss on Monday’s free call:

Why Start A Membership-Based Business
(Learn Why the Association/Network Model Is More Powerful Than Any Continuity Program)

Naming Your Network and Picking Your Target Market
(Learn My Easy Formula for Choosing the Perfect Network Name So that the Search Engines Love You and Your Future Members Get It)

3 Ways To Make Six Figures In 12 Months With The Association/Network Model

The Single Most Important “Strategy” You Must Understand or You Will Not Be Successful

5 Ways The Association/Network Model Allows You To Maintain Your Freedom

Why 2010 is the Best Year to Build Your Very Own “Tribe”

Have a great weekend and I hope you will be able to join us live on the call this coming Monday, January 25th at 1 pm.

To your success,
