Is it YOUR Lucky Day?
There is a new Jackpot winner every week, and this week, it could be YOU.
Check your member profile number to see if it matches the number displayed on the left.
If it matches, you won! The catch? You gotta claim it to get it.
Hey, did you know that I first built my coaching business with networking? And that I got first 29 clients in my first 42 days in business?
Want to hear the whole story, the details, the strategy, the mistakes, and the lessons learned? You got it! I'm telling it all--exactly how I built my business from scratch. With almost no marketing budget. No prospect list. Just an idea, a phone, and a hankering to connect.
Here's what you'll get in this training:
The one strategy that I used to attract 29 new clients in 6 weeks.
The three major lessons I learned in the process.
Plus get special access to the very tools I created and used!
There is NO CHARGE for members (that's YOU!). $25 for non-members. If you haven't already taken this class, now is the time. The next time it happens is in the fall.
OK, so full disclosure: We transitioned to Zoom a full 30 days earlier than originally planned, so not all meeting confirmations have been updated with the Zoom info. The events WILL be updated by the time each meeting happens, so don't worry.
If you're new to Zoom, it helps to login to Zoom.us and set up your free account in advance. There isn't much of a learning curve, but you may feel more comfortable if you check it out before you join a meeting.

Buh Bye, iMeet. Hello, Zoom!
After five years of struggling with iMeet as our virtual meeting platform, we are done.
All of our meetings from Monday, March 4, 2019 on will be on Zoom, a familiar virtual meeting space to many of us.
No more getting kicked off the call, no struggling with uploads, and no more ridiculously complicated screen sharing protocols. Nope, just quick, easy, and reliable virtual meetings.
Heads up: Not all of the upcoming meeting links have been updated to Zoom, but will be this week. Thank you for your patience.
