You ladies are beyond awesome. Love your style. Good for you for being so successful by helping other women become successful!
I have online ambition, but need to harness that more practical side that sits down and gets things done!

I am just starting out as a nutritionist, and as an independent NYR ORganics consultant – and my husband is a web designer, who is always trying to get me more online. this has really opened my eyes to the possibilities! I just always fear emailing my clients in case they get fed up, but maybe I’m just leaving them out in the cold by not including them more! In past jobs, people have always said that my emails are great, that they really ‘pop’ and are so readable, so I guess I have to just go for it!!! I’ve always hated doing phone calls, so emailing really makes sense for me! Thank you for inspiring me!

Floundering after a BIG BANK layoff and mid-life desire to create my own business life plan. Your video is so inspiring and forward thinking…I’m hooked into finding out the strategies that have helped make yourselves and others so very “Rich, Happy & Hot”!

I am impressed by the video and content. I will be musing how I can apply this to my practice as a physician. Only a few weeks ago I was thinking I need to go to business school to figure how to take my business to the next level. I was thinking doesn’t everyone have to go to business school to get along in today’s world? And then I get an email from the rich, happy and hot b-school. Pretty serendipitous. !

Where do I want to go with online business over the next year?
* debt-free
* mobile, flexible
* personal voice audible and making a difference
* personal visibility
* unleashing my creativity
* all the above in order to help other people do the same!
And I agree you two are awesome!

Sounds great and practical. Here’s my idea. It has to do with television and the nationwide switch to digital broadcasts. I’m so passionate about this but can’t get people to hear me or respond positively. They all seem to be annoyed that I’m talking to them about something they don’t want to think about. But, I say, why pay for t.v. when you can get great t.v. for free. It’s an especially big deal where I live as everyone pays because that was the only choice. The only decision to make was whether you wanted to pay a satellite company or a cable company every month.

The problem is how to make money from this idea and spreading the word. Most of the people who’ve called me for assistance want me to set them up for free. The government did a very poor job of disseminating the information to the viewers who needed it most. There’s a freegan/frugal movement spreading across the country due to the sad economy but even those who can afford to waste money are beginning to realize that less really is more. Anyway, it’s just so simple and I want people to free themselves from their monthly cable bill.
Got any ideas? I’ve tried a couple of times to start my own blog but I’m not sure how. I’ve made comments on existing sites such as tv guide and the local news station that get no response. People don’t give any feedback but maybe they are figuring this out on their own. I spoke to a local recently who didn’t have the best antenna and he had no rotor which is important here on the east coast.

I just discovered you last night Marie and i so resonate with everything you say and the way you deliver you content is so hot:) you rock…
I currently a life coach, and i have an entreprenuer budding to come out of me i have all these ideas but no clarity and no product. i’m wondering if your program can help me with that?

Hi Amanda! Thank you for your comment and in a word YES. If you’re fully committed to having a profitable business, there is NO better place for you than b-school. Most women wait because they’re not “ready yet” and wind up wasting a lot of time; energy and money fumbling around in the dark. The best place to get clarity is through engaging in a program like this that will help you BUILD killer marketing INTO whatever offering you create. We’d love to have you!

Starting this fall, I would like to reach many more customers nationwide and increase sales of my lovely/adorable/gorgeous shoes! :)

I am loving your video (watching True Stories) and the informal fun nature of it! Thank you so much for sharing.

I just have one question/comment: I don’t have time right now to watch the whole thing in one sitting. I wish there was a way to pause it and resume and also (this one is the most important) to look where I left off (like 12 minutes into it) and the next day drag the little mouse thingy to the 12 minute mark and resume. . . . This would make it a lot easier for me, as I like to absorb this typo of info in short bytes and have control over how much I watch at once ;-)

Thanks ladies!

This is amazing. I wish I had money to take your program. I don’t have any REAL expertise or products to sell. I’m hoping until I become licensed, I …. excuse me… until I become licensed I WILL be a youtube partner and a popular youtuber and make money through ad revenue. Then I will have money to take your course and sell products and consultation :)

Great information. I want to laser target my expertise and offering to my ideal target market. I know I have a great concept and foundational brand. I work full time, husband works out of town and only home 3 weekends a month. I run the household with kids and everything. I need to focus my limited time to building my model, so I can escape a 23 year in corporate America.

Your approach is a effective e-learning model. Probably the best I’ve seen. I’m taking notes.

I enjoyed this intimate yet virtual presentation. Felt like I was on the other side of the table. After a recent layoff my friend and I have launched our own B2B lead generation partnership. Our web will be active in a couple of weeks and we have our first client in the wheel house.

We want to do an online business launch as soon as we go live with our website that will also tie into developing a Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter presence.
We would also like to develop an learning tool that could be purchased online to generate cash while we’re sleeping.

I firmly believe “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear,”…baby, am I ready!
So many lessons learned with just this video. You have inspired me to take action on a idea I have been toying with for the past year. Thanks for sharing in such a simple, yet effective way.

First, thanks for such a fun, accessible and productive video. I love the link you make to the opportunities online and to women’s natural skills.
I am on leave from an wonderful job from burnout. I enjoyed the basic content of my job but the restrictive office hours and environment wore me out.
I would like to start an online business coaching artists, and writing about and teaching the basics of creative moxy and play to a global market of clients. I would like the business to pay for itself and its ongoing development as well as assure me a steady and expanding income. I would like to have time and location freedom, and to be able to travel and go on adventures while my business continues to work for me and grow. Lastly I would like to see and feel the positive results of my contribution in my clients lives and in the world.

This video has transformed my morning and hopefully my business. For over 20 years I have been a single parent with 3 beautiful kids and although our house was bursting with love, we never had much “stuff.” Now that my oldest is in the Navy and my other two have moved into dorm rooms it’s time for me to get my life back on track and become successful in my business and my life. My only problem is I have so much energy for this new chapter in my life I keep spurting off in different directions, never accomplishing any one thing completely. I need to finish my website (half started), finish my book (2/3 complete), and land some clients (sent out great introduction letters but never followed up). I want to quit this crappy day job and start living a life helping others and being in a position to start spoiling my kids with “stuff!” I look forward to more great stuff from you and hopefully a plan to keep me on track and moving forward. Thanks for your inspiration!
