All-Member Webinar: Super Tools for DIY Marketing
Hey,
ALL MEMBERS (this means YOU) are welcome at the marketing webinars on the first Thursdays of every month. The webinars recorded in audio and video formats, and the slideshow PDF as well as the key points are posted within 24 hours. The full library of past classes is yours to browse and enjoy; find it at Marketing Classes in the Members Only area.
In February, we're reviewing some of my fave tools for DIY ("do it yourself") marketing. Why? Because when you have to do it all yourself, there's no sense in doing it the hard way, especially when there are easy to use DIY marketing tools available.
This fun Super Tools for DIY Marketing class will share:
the top tools for powering up your social media presence
a live demonstration of the 3 best tools
a staggeringly awesome list of tools to use now
Can't make the webinar? The class repeats live on-site at Hatch on Friday, February 17.

Hey,
You know how I am always talking about taking lots of vacation time? This is me, practicing what I preach. I will be out of the office and way out of town from Tuesday, and will be back in the office on Monday, January 30.
I am going to the Oregon Coast to enjoy the wild winter sea and maybe have a cup of chowder at Mo's. Let me know if you have any suggestions about where to eat or what's super fun to do from Newport to Astoria. Thanks!
Warmly,

Will This Be Our Busiest Week EVER?
Hey,
It's been quiet here in the Portland/Vancouver area because of Snowpocalypse 2017. Everything has been closed, so life has been mellow, and I have stayed warm by snuggling up in my home office wearing slippers and sipping cocoa. On Monday, the snow and ice will be gone so it's back to business, baby!
There are a whopping 9 DIY meetings this week, but don't worry because you don't have to attend them all. Please DO take a look at the Calendar listing below to see which meeting is right for you.
We'll kick off the week with Action Calls and Marketing Coaching. Remember, all members are welcome; small fees apply to those without All Access passes.
Because of all the new things happening, I strongly recommend attending the Orientation webinar on Thursday; see below for details.
If you are in the local area, the Mastermind meeting and marketing seminar (a live version of our How to Streamline Your Marketing class) are on Friday at Hatch. Won't it be great to reconnect with your supportive tribe? No charge for members with passes, and a small fee for those without--and you can use your Mastermind money!
On Saturday (yes, Saturday!) the rescheduled Prosperity & Profitability Planning event is happening at the University of Portland. We're meeting at 9am, and will be done by noon, so why not join us? There is no charge for members. If you haven't already signed up, you can RSVP here: 2017 Prosperity & Profitability Planning [Seminar]
Hope to see YOU this week--either in person or virtually.
Warmly,

Hearing the same things in different ways allows the information to integrate more fully. After listening to you, I am ever more understanding of the dance between listening and sharing. When you speak, there is the intertwining of your years of experience. I am gradually learning the various pieces that you put together so skillfully and gracefully.

"I just finished my marketing plan. I can't believe how easy it was after your class...I can't believe I actually have a marketing plan put together. Good gracious, I'd read quite a few marketing books and took notes, but then all I had was a computer file with a lot of notes. Now, after your one-hour class--and the Friday deadline--I actually wrote it down and even went through some of those notes while I did it. Wow. I can't believe I did it! Thanks so much, Ronnie. You're terrific!" ~Julie McDonald Zander, Chapters of Life Memory Books, www.chaptersoflife.com
