Need Soft, Cuddly Affirmation Blankets for Holiday?

When Affirmagy launched to the world on Valentine’s Day 2005, I was a proud member of the company’s PR team.  Working together, we earned plenty of quality media placements to invite product sales and earn raving product fans.

The company has just announced that this is the company’s last season, so there are some amazing deals for you to enjoy. Save up to 50% on cuddly blankets with positive affirmations until Nov. 30.  Stock up so you have the perfect gifts to share this holiday season that will bring “comfort and joy” to all for many years to come.

Reinventing Yourself? Read This!

• Are you wrestling with your business model in changing times?

As You Ponder Labor Day, What are the Stunning Results You Achieve?

Today seems a fitting day to consider the stunning results you bring about for your clients, your family, or your employers, and others you serve.   What are your stunning results?

• Is your book a best-seller, translated into many languages, to empower others to be their very best?
• Do you make phones ring, emails flow, and sales happen as a result of your consistent, tenacious sales actions every day?
• Have you empowered thousands of people to eliminate chaos and achieve organization at work so they can invite more abundance in their lives?

Speaking of eliminating chaos, did you see the HUGE story in Friday’s Puget Sound Business Journal about Laura Leist’s company called Eliminate Chaos?  Laura and I connected first at a local networking event, and she mentioned that earning a story just like this was on her priority list.  We talked a while, and the more I learned, the more I knew that her story would be a perfect fit for a “Growing Your Business” feature.   I told her how to approach her pitch and to whom to send it.  Laura subsquently attended the Publici-Tea™ Workshop to learn a bit more.  She followed up, waited, and wondered.  And Friday’s story was the result of her effort.  (The photo is by Dan Schlatter.)  A full page Growing Your Business feature is a stunning result to flow from a productive conversation with an expert at a networking event and attendance at a DIY publicity workshop.

The next Publici-Tea™ Express is September 16, 2009.  And here is an offer you can’t refuse.  Sign up today to be a FAN of the event on Facebook. Then, you can attend the event at the $25 VIP rate!

Here is the link to become a Facebook fan.

Here is the link to sign up for Publici-Tea™ Express.

These events are a labor of love for me because the results that guests experience demonstrate that the mission I am on to empower others to get seen, heard, and celebrated is well worth the journey.  Become a VIP and attend.  Can’t wait to meet you!

Act Before Aug. 1 to Benefit from the Ridiculously Low $29 Price for Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action eGuide

The price for the “Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action eGuide” is going up, as promised, on August 1.  This is a call to action to make your purchase before midnight on July 31 to benefit from the amazingly low introductory price of $29 for the best-selling product I’ve created in three years.

Publici-Tea™ Graduate Annie Cheng of Netstar, Inc. reviewed the product, and this is what she had to say:

“Nancy has done it again — she’s put together a fabulous guide to help increase your own publicity efforts.  The Bye-Bye Boring Action Guide gave me specific action items I could accomplish and a slew of different methods to generate ideas for a winning bio that won’t put people to sleep.”‘

Stacey Anderson, Professional Organizer, Speaker & Author of Organized Solutions LLC said, “I really like the worksheets and all of the bio examples.  It has made me realize that you can spice up your bio with more than just the facts and statistics most of us tend to use.”

Bob Phillips, president of RW & Associates, Inc. and co-author of “Absolute Honesty – Building a Corporate Culture that Values Straight Talk and Rewards Integrity” said, “As a person who has been stuck in a biography rut for 30 plus years of writing very boring things about myself, I found Nancy’s Bye-Bye Boring Bio Guide a real challenge that finally gave me an escape route out of continuing to write such uninspiring bios!  Very few of us who speak, write, and consult know how to really define who we are and what capabilities we offer.  This guide provided me a way of thinking and presenting a clearer picture of what I can offer others.”

Violette Clark, whimsical artist and creative catalyst for www.violette.ca  writes,”Nancy’s Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action Guide is a  no-brainer for people like me who have difficulty writing about themselves.  I asked myself ‘What the heck do I have to share which makes me interesting and intriguing and encourages people to want to know more?’  And then I read Nancy’s guide and voila!   She provides the reader with a map ready to take you on a step-by-step journey to uncover the treasures within.  Nancy’s guide makes it easy by asking the right questions which will in turn help you to fashion a sizzling and fascinating bio.  As an artist who is better at creating than writing about herself, this guide is a life saver.  Thank you Nancy!”

And these are just a few of the fabulous comments that have been coming in as a result of the first round of product reviews.   Buy your copy today at the low price of $29 so you can benefit as these people have.  The price goes up to $39 on August 1, 2009.  It’s still an extraordinary value at this price. Still, who doesn’t want to save $10 these days?  Act now to benefit and write a bio that will make you beam with pride.  You’ll be glad that you did.

This Bio Showcases the Recipe for Success – Take It Away Tips Booklet Queen Paulette Ensign

I’ve been heartened by the great feedback that has been coming in about the new Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action Guide. Today, I heard from Tips Booklet Queen Paulette Ensign, who has a pretty sassy bio of her own to make her speaking introductions delight audiences in her own backyard and well beyond.

Paulette Ensign has personally sold well over a million copies of her own tips booklet, ‘110 Ideas for Organizing Your Business Life,’ without spending a penny on advertising. She did this with no business training, and enough guts and natural irreverence to figure it all out as she went. Her first career was more than a decade of happily teaching string instruments in public elementary schools, before becoming a professional organizer from 1983 until the mid 1990’s after she wrote her booklet. Paulette has unwittingly become The Booklet Queen since writing her booklet in 1991. With a sense of humor and a ‘can-do’ attitude, Paulette shares her experiences with clients and audiences worldwide, through her consulting, speaking, and teleseminar services and products. Many of her clients have matched and surpassed her sales results.

Paulette made a cross-country move from metro New York to a mile from the beach in San Diego, California in 1996 without missing a beat in her business because of the role that booklets play. When asked why she moved, her answer has consistently been “It doesn’t snow in San Diego.” Have fun exploring Paulette’s site at www.tipsbooklets.com.

Please notice that she makes clear her stunning results, sassy sound bites, succinct stories, and some personal information to make it easy for potential clients to connect with her. You know right away — one way or the other — if she is the expert you want to engage. That, my friends, is the recipe for bio success.

Paulette offers these glowing words of praise for “Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action Guide”

“Nancy Juetten has provided an excellent solution for the many professionals who need to blast their boring bio into oblivion forever. Her clear, simple, comprehensive approach is nothing short of magical. It’s just the right number of words with just enough examples to make this a must-have for anyone who needs to let their world know a slice of who they are and what they bring to the party.”

– Paulette Ensign,www.tipsbooklets.com

Thanks Paulette.

By the way, you can purchase the review copy of this new guide for just $29 through July 31, or you can invest a bit more ($49) to enjoy the “Anytime, Anywhere Publici-Tea™ Express Digital Download which includes the Bye-Bye Boring Bio Action guide within the comprehensive bundle of written and audio information. Either way, these are fabulous values for the investment. This $49 offer for the “Anytime, Anywhere” digital download  expires August 31, 2009.  Enjoy!
