Hey, I am thrilled to introduce the 2019 member events schedule, with upgrades inspired by DIY members.
Here's what's new and improved:
The virtual Mastermind meeting is now on the first Thursday at 9:30 AM. That's THIS WEEK, baby. Save your place here: DIY Mastermind [Virtual Meeting]
The third Marketing Coaching Call is now on the third Tuesday at 2 PM.
The monthly marketing webinar is now on the third Thursday at 10 AM.
These changes may seem minor, but I am confident that they will enhance your DIY experience. I've been doing this for 10 years, and I've got a good feeling about 2019.

Did you miss the on-site planning session? Don't worry, because the webinar version happens on Saturday. We've still got time to get ready for our best year yet. Here's how:
We'll review what worked in 2018 (and what didn't).
We'll visualize a better 2019 (and how to make it happen).
We'll document our plans, both big picture and a first quarter To-Do list.
This is a working session, not a lecture. Be prepared to work, think, plan, ask questions and get feedback.
=> Last call for last meetings of 2018 + did you win?

Congratulations! You just landed a new client! Everything is awesome...or is it?
Because having a great product or service isn't enough. Most of your clients will fall away, yes, even this happy new one. Unless you have specific strategies for keeping them.
In this month's High Value Client Retention Strategies masterclass, we will cover:
the top five strategies for lifetime client retention
how to pop your profits with current clients
the real reason your clients stop buying from you
Bonus: The notes, slides, audio and video from the webinar version of this class are already posted at Retention.
Want to experience this discussion LIVE? Join me for the High Value Client Retention Strategies seminar on Friday from noon to 1:30 PM. Save your place now:
Join me and your peers for the final local Mastermind meeting from 9:30-11:30 AM this Friday. Here's what's on the agenda:
Introductions: You get to choose how you introduce yourself for once.
Behind the Curtain: How to use our monthly Google Boosters day to get found on Google.
Plus masterminding, laser coaching, a spin of the prize wheel and more. See the full meeting description here: Mastermind Meetings

"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

"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
