Even with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season upon us our businesses get to still keep going, therefor we will be having a Biz Divas party in December. The Biz Divas is here to support you! There will be a brief presentation followed by super networking. So bring your great energy, enthusiasm and positive attitudes and get things rolling to create a PHENOMENAL 2009!
December Topic: Wendy Bensen, business owner, author and mother of two has considerably changed her life in the past two years. The shift that occurred in Wendy created many things, including weight loss of over 60 pounds and writing her book “The Boss of Myself.” Get inspired by her story and take your goals to the next level at the December Biz Divas. Jennifer Jessop will join Wendy for a presentation about taking your health and wellness to the next level. Why wait for a New Years Resolution? Start now at the Biz Divas party this month and get support in not only making your goals, but reaching your goals. It CAN be that easy! Plus, I can’t wait to share some exciting things with you for 2009!
Time – 6:30-9:30 p.m. –
If you have a sample or visual aid, bring it to put on the networking table along with your business cards and/or brochures.

Our keynote presenter in October was Kellie Forbes of Accent Artistry. This mother of five, author, business owner and artist gave us a few insights to what she has done to be as successful in her five years of a small business owner. With almost one MILLION dollars of paid-for inventory in the life of her business and many other accomplishments, how did she do it?
It comes down to a few key points:
1. Never give up. Sometimes this means a lot of hard work but be consistent because hard work pays off.
2. Surround yourself with people who are supportive. If your partner, spouse and friends are negative influences, find some great cheerleaders to support you through challenging and celebration times. Most of all, be your own best cheerleader and know you are worth it to keep going.
3. It’s about cooperation, not competition. There are enough customers and resources for everyone. We simply accomplish more in less time and and with less expense when we collaborate with others, even with people in the same industry. Find people to cross-market and promote yourself with.
We are excited to see Zephyr Expressions, Kellie’s upcoming product launch, hit the market in 2009. Way to go Kellie!
