Second, the May marketing class debuts Thursday night, and it will be a good one!
This fast-paced class will share easy tips for rocking your social media, including:
a simple 3-step process for creating social media content
30 ideas for engaging social media posts
how to "set it and forget it" in 30 minutes a week
What: What to Post on Social Media Seminar
When: Thursday, May 4, 2017, from 6:30-8pm
Where: Lloyd Center Community Room #944, Lloyd Center, Portland OR 97232

This marketing seminar repeats on the second Wednesday of the month as a webinar and on the third Friday of the month in Vancouver. How convenient is that?!

Action Calls: Accountability & Support for all Members
Hey,
Did you know that ALL members are welcome on our Monday Action Calls? All Access passes include prepaid access to the Action Calls, but all members are welcome to attend at any time for as little as $25.
The calls happen every Monday (except US national holidays) at 8am, 9am and 1pm Pacific, so you can start the week by getting set up for success.
Here are what a couple of members said they got from a recent call:
See what you're missing! Watch the videos or hear the audios of the most recent calls on the Action Calls page here: Action Calls
So that's the deal: Just because you don't have a prepaid pass to the Action Calls doesn't mean that you can't take advantage of those calls whenever you need a little guidance, support, or motivation--because as a member, you CAN!
Register for the Action Call that works best for you through the DIY Calendar.

Inspiration Weekend 9 Is 100% SOLD OUT!
Our ninth annual members-only two-day conference is happening this weekend, and the good (and bad) news is that it is sold out!
Our focus is to create a personal brand plan (among other things), and if it is anything like previous years, a good time will be had by all.
Three members have been selected for their expertise to join me in presenting this transformative material: Victoria Cook, Joy Overstreet and Kristin Taylor will lead us through information and exercises to help us clarify key elements of our personal brands.
I am sorry that there isn't room for everyone this year, but I promise that next year, I will find a venue that will allow for more members to participate--and the tickets will go on sale immediately after this year's event!
One more thing: I will be completely wrapped up with IW9 on Friday and Saturday, so please be patient if I don't respond immediately to calls or emails on those days. I will get back to you just as soon as I can. Thank you!

NEW: Brand Seminar After Mastermind in Vancouver
Hey,
The first afternoon edition of our monthly marketing seminar happens in Vancouver on Friday from 12-1:30pm, immediately following our Vancouver Mastermind meeting.

However, this month's schedule of meetings and classes is working out well so far, and the feedback has been very positive, so, YAY!
Looking forward to seeing YOU this week at the DIY Vancouver!

Q2 Prosperity & Profitability Webinar & Seminar
After chatting with several members about their progress on the goals set in January, I realized that we need something different for this second session of this series.
We will start by recapping your progress (and challenges!) from the previous quarter. This won't take too long, and I promise there will be no shaming or blaming! Then we will drill down on what you want to accomplish this quarter, and you will experience my new process to set yourself up for success.
There is no charge for members, and all members may attend any or all of the meetings. Sorry, but there is no room for non-members or guests.
"I wanted to take a quick minute to say thank you for all your advice on the call this morning. I feel very blessed to have you in my life and on my team with all your brilliant ideas and support. Thanks for being you. And, thanks for collecting such amazing people into the SOHO community. It really is inspiring to listen to and to be around people who are walking the walk and getting things done." ~Connie Dorigan, CPC, www.dorigan.com
"Thank YOU!! It was a very relevant and reassuring meeting with you. I have so much more focus, motivation and enthusiasm around our business since the beginning of the year when I took the time to contemplate, strategize and plan. And it already seems to be paying off – literally!" ~ Jennifer Corio, www.cobaltdesignworks.com

"And speaking of impressed, you too, continue to impress me. I LOVE the inspiration calls, for their inspiration and for their accountability. So thank you." ~ Connie Dorigan, www.dorigan.com
"I enjoy and appreciate all the attention and the direction of the new Marketing Mastermind. I notice your added energy and focus and find value in it. 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. Then you top it off with your powerful strength of ideation." ~ Caron MacLane, Circle Coach & Consultant, www.CaronCircleCC.com

"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
