AUTHOR 101 UNIVERSITY OCTOBER 29-31 IN LAS VEGAS

You know I go to maybe 4 events a year.  Many events have lots of hype but when you show up  (frankly) they can suck.  I am sorry for being so blatant here, but you know it’s true.

However, the event that I return to EVERY year is Author 101 with Rick Frishman.

This is one of the best events.  It is always a PACKED room, and you meet a ton of authors and BIGWIGS.  Rick always invites industry pros and let me tell you – most people don’t even realize or take advantage of this opportunity.  But that’s like life isn’t it?  98% of people don’t do the things that gives them the edge, they just talk.

I am shocked.

Here’s why.   It costs you NOTHING to go up and either ask ME (which I will) or ask Rick to introduce you to a star maker at the event. What MOST PEOPE do at this event is just attend, sit in a chair and watch the speakers.  Listen, you will learn a LOT that way, and I hope you show up to support my presentation. But if you want to be someone who BREAKS through then in between the speakers presentations (on the breaks) CONNECT with those who help to make you a star.

Some may be one of the speakers OR one of the panelists.

EVEN if you have nothing to offer right, now, no book or product, no website.  What you DO have right now is YOU, your heart and your guts.  Nothing beats a face to face handshake, and 2 mins of rapport building that who knows may turn into dinner, that may turn into a million dollar deal next year.  I have seen it happen.

Trust me you won’t get a chance to have a phone call with them.

You might meet someone who SEES your STAR potential.  You might just meet someone who wants to PUBLISH you or MARKET you or turn your ideas into a MOVIE or TV Show next year. Or you might meet someone who just thinks you are so great they want to do a JV with you and you don’t know what yet, just that you are keen to put something together.

So here’s the email about the event.  It’s also 2 for 1 and it’s frankly underpriced.

I suggest if you go to this event – and when you do, COME GET me and ask me to introduce you to ANYONE or EVERYONE.

Be the top 1% , not the rest.

Plus – it’s Halloween- if you’re going to come to Vegas Halloween will be a riot.  Lots of fun.

I have been approached by a few people to who would like to train on either my Joint Venture Program or my Millionaires in Training Program to their own clients or to audiences.

I am considering training and licensing a few people on what I did for my high level clientele.  These people would have a coaching business, plus be able to sell my products for 50% split.   This would be viable for you whether you want to train other speakers, authors, entrepreneurs or large corporations.

If you would be interested, drop me a note of interest and if there are a few great people interested, you’ll be first in line, receive the best price reduction PLUS work with me personally.  I would only give this opportunity to a handful of people per year.

You would have to pay for the training and license.  Please let me know if you are “mildly interested” or “very serious”, and ready to move forward with it.

Thanks!

Many people are on complete overload. With today’s technology, there are many ways to market yourself as an author or entrepreneur. There is something new every day, LinkedIn, Squidoo, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Articles, Blogging, Email Marketing, Joint Ventures and much more.

Well if you are finding you are short on time, you may want to think about what you should be doing YOURSELF as CEO and then what could you delegate or have someone else handle for you.  Why struggle doing everything yourself and just end up with no time and not much done?

Entrepreneurs can sometimes fall into the trap of feeling like you need to do everything yourself OR another one is because we are good at something we think we should be doing it.  But the truth is, we should be planning our business and marketing strategies, building connections and relationships, creating deals and products.

Its valuable to make a list of what you want to accomplish this year, and what are the tasks involved in that.  What pieces of that do you detest with a passion, what do you like, what should you be doing and then write down which ones you can (a) eliminate (b) delegate (to current staff or VA) or (c) out-source.

Your VA and outsourcer may be 2 different people or the same person – totally depends on what skills you need and who has them.

For example, I have worked with a VA – who said she could do everything for me – she was such a nice person but when she worked she was a spreadsheet and research queen but hated and avoided anything else – including writing emails for me, answering customer service inquiries, making calls or even making simple appointments with people who asked to have appointment. 

So someone making calls for you – may or may not be same person who does internet writing or research for you.  But there is a solution.  I met Daven owner of 123 employee and one of the events I was at and he has put together a pretty cool system where you pay for 1 VA or outsource (trained already) person and you could stay with that 1 person or (this is cool part) get 2 or 3  people for same price (basically you just pay for hours worked).  And you get to interview them yourself and NOT hire unless you are thrilled with candidates.

I am actually going to try them out this month and will let you know how I fare.

But think about them as possible people who can do your SOCIAL MEDIA marketing for you – blog for you, create a blog, write articles and submit with keywords to sites for you – make JV connections for you – send emails out for you – customer service reps for you – even sales team staff for you.  Big behind scenes SECRET for you:  In fact I know a VERY wealthy (and famous) internet marketer uses an outsourcing team just like this to call his customers to sell his workshops for him.

So if you are interested in checking them out, Daven has agreed to waive the two-hundred dollar sign up charge, so you only pay for hours worked – that’s money immediately in your pocket.  And by the way this sign-up fee is NOT a bogus charge – it’s very real and I witnessed lots of people who paid it.

So check out this e-book:   http://www.stefaniehartman.com/recommendation/outsourcing  Its a guide for outsourcing.  Yes they want your email and will want you to go with them, and in may be helpful for you to try it for a month, give it a go.  You never know how it will be until you try it out.  And remember you can opt-out anytime.

Please let me know how this has helped you.  By the way, I know he uses staff from the Philippines, and they are the BEST out there for outsourcing.  Even my friend Frank who created the multi-million dollar Traffic Geyser has been using someone from that country for years and loves him.  So professional and in-expensive.  American & Canadian dollar goes far there.

Daven’s people are trained already so my advice – try it out for a month, maybe go with one of their trained staff (so you don’t even need to train them) and see how you like it.  For $5 bucks/ hour – how can you lose?

Let’s toast to making our lives easier!

I’m heading out to Philadelphia in May to a small intimate event where there are only about 80 – 100 people there, and would love to see you there.  It is a small event, however EVERYONE is there to network and do business deals.  Many people were doing deals where they were joining forces and expanding or simply promoting each other and splitting the profits.  At the last event, I met some people who could impact my life in a very profitable way.  
This is not a fancy huge event, just a simple event.  A simple event where you will stand out (as there are less people).
Many of the remarkable things that have Happened around me have come from the power of joint ventures.
 
At Impact San Diego, my good friend, Frank Sousa and Ken McArthur went out to dinner together to celebrate his multi-million dollar sale of his interest in Traffic Geyser which is a powerhouse created by a joint venture between Frank, Mike Koenigs and Rocket Helstrome at jvAlert Live in Philadelphia.
 
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.  At EVERY jvAlert Live event, I heard incredible stories of joint ventures that have changed lives in so many ways.
 
I know I push hard to make sure that you come to these events.
 
It’s because it’s so important to be there.
 
Here are just a few of the people coming to jvAlert Live Philadelphia!  Thought you’d like to know who is already headed that way!
 
http://learningfolder.net/blog/?p=891  
 
By the way, if you don’t have your hotel room yet, you can reserve it now here:
 
http://jvAlertLive.com/hotel/
 
The hotel overlooks the Delaware River right where they came ashore to found the city of love at Penn’s Landing.
 
And for goodness sake, if you haven’t registered for the event yet, get it done today!

See you soon!

Just a quick note to send you a personal pick me up!

If you are feeling stressed out and want to let it go….read this post.

First,  as you may know, years ago, one of my clients was Ruben Gonzalez, 3-Time Olympic Champion and now the ONLY athlete in the world to compete in 4 Olympics over 4 decades.  Very cool.  Anyways, Ruben has an interesting story as he was called “the unlikely athlete”.  Really he had almost non-existent sports background but his dream was to be in the Olympics.  In fact he KNEW he would be in the Olympics – so he went to the library – tried to figure out what sport he could do – and then followed his dream, one little step at a time.

Last week during the Olympics here in  my home city & country, Ruben and I went out for dinner, plus he slotted me in to interview him for 30 mins before the NBC TV and right after the NY Times.  I laughed at that.  In fact he kept NBC waiting for an extra 5 minutes while he chatted with me.  I LOVE it!

Anyways, he did this call just for ME and just for YOU!  Listen to it TODAY and pass it onto your kids & friends and family – EVERYONE needs to hear this call!

His Story & Private Interview for you: http://www.privatejvclub.com/millionairementors/rubengonzalez

Also as something fun – I get so frustrated with airports sometimes and wonder where all the personalities and fun went out of flying.  Some days it feels like airport personnel are prison guards (and guess who the criminals are) so this showed me that the human fun and human spirit are STILL here – watch and be surprised.  This REALLY happened at a Portugal airport.  It was a planned – yet looked spontaneous for the passengers.  This is for All those who are flying!  I was inspired to send this as my Business Olympians are travelling to spend 3 days with me to brainstorm and create their businesses! 

Airport Surprise video: http://vimeo.com/8468959  (copy and paste into browser)  Be patient – keep watching.

See you guys soon – I can’t wait to give you big hugs and see your big breakthroughs!

If you ever need some good songs to get you inspired here are my 2 top favorites:

Natasha Bedingfield – Unwritten   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7k0a5hYnSI

Black Eyed Peas – Today’s Gonna Be  Good Day!  http://www.youtube.com/watch#!videos=Eb6hnZYtiOY&v=CVQorfIX84w

These songs are my THEME songs!!!!  Feel free to make them your own.

Guaranteed – these items will PERK YOU UP!!!

Hope you are smile today.

Ok so this is my final Olympic Blog post as the closing ceremonies was on Sunday.  I live 2 blocks away so I could hear it outside and on TV, it was wild. 

Thank you by the way for all your responsive posts and emails back to me – 98% of you were so happy to share the experience, and 1 or 2 were annoyed and thought it was a waste of time.  Hey – I can’t please everyone but it would be impossible for me to live here, go through this and not share it with you, my readers.

It’s just my nature to share my experiences – I do it every day with you in business & marketing and giving you behind the scenes info, so is it so out of place to share this experience too – especially when the whole world is also watching?  So once in a while I will share my personal thoughts on my blog as well as my business ones, and I’ll try not to offend too many people.

Well, I promised I would write about my Medals experience.  It was really cool.  We were lucky enough to have a company provide us with VIP tickets to the Mint to see the medals.  What this meant was that we could by-pass the line and get in free.  Listen, I’m not a “showy” person who goes after these kinds of things but when it fell into my lap – I’d be an idiot not to go.

People were lining up in the rain at 4:30am to go inside and we basically just showed up and walked in at our set time, which was 8am on a Saturday – but hey we didn’t have to get up at 4am.

I felt bad getting this ticket as I saw the line and wished I could sneak every single person under my jacket.  If I could have I would have!!!  I went inside swiftly and quietly and tried not to make eye contact with anyone in line.  Once inside I was thrilled.  The building is set up with 3 main areas – the kid area (downstairs) where you do kid stuff and send live video tweets.  Then the top floor on the left held the medal room and the right held the coin collection room.

Obviously I went to the medals first.  It was a fairly large room with only 20 people at a time, so you were given tons of chances to take photos and touch all the medals – Gold , Silver & Bronze.  Plus it included how the medals were made as well as display of Paralympics medals.

Here are the pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stefaniehartman

People asked me what it felt like.  Well literally it was heavy, and I love the fact they are not round, they have some style.  The back has the Olympic symbol plus Braille text.  That was a neat surprise.

Emotionally I felt grateful to get this chance to hold one.  Then I thought about the athletes getting one and tried to imagine the pride they’d feel at simply achieving a huge dream.  Then I thought  – damn I want to be recognized for something.  I want an award!  Ha Ha!

But what really hit me was how great it must feel to achieve your ultimate dream.  I have achieved goals but never had that overwhelming feeling of pride or an Ultimate Dream, so that was a weird realization.  Maybe my big dream hasn’t happened yet.  Food for thought.  I typically have a huge goal, but when its reached, there are new goals.  How do you know what you’re ultimate dream is?  How can u measure that?  Do you have an Ultimate Dream?  If so, please post a reply and let me know what it is.  I’d love to hear about it.

Later I saw a $4 million dollar coin and held a gold bar.  I walked out with some gold Canadian Olympic coins – don’t worry I bought them, only cost me $5 bucks.

Anyways, on another note, I had a contest to give away FREE Olympic mittens.  And I wanted to surprise everyone who entered by buying them a pair- but the store was sold out – AHHHH – so I have 2 to give away and I will choose those people shortly.  I so wanted to be your HERO!  Hopefully I can be in other ways.

So check back to see if you won!

Ha Ha here’s a video from my publisher and CEO of Morgan James Publishing.  I sent a big Canadian care-package to his office & family.

Morgan James recently gave me a contract to publish Canadian & American authors with them to get international HUGE distribution.  I was thrilled!

Thanks guys!  Love you too!  You are so good to me and my people.

I was so excited because this year my Exclusive Mastermind Group – the Business Olympians received a special gift from me.  I sent each one a pair of the HOTTEST and most coveted Olympic souvenir – the famous red mittens.  It was all over the news that people were lining up at stores around Vancouver, Canada for hours and hours and there were NO MITTENS to be found.

Luckily I have a connection at the Hudson Bay and imported directed mittens for my special group.

Then – I watched Oprah and the Today Show she was wearing the mittens and her audience went NUTS when she revealed she asked Hudsons’ Bay to send her mittens.  Ok, so she copied me.  LOL.

BUT you saw it here first!  Ha Ha!

So I have 1 special pair left!!!!!

If you would like it – write a comment below and we will choose a winner & ship it to you – remember to add in your email address so we can contact you!!

These will be a FABULOUS souvenir for you and by the way – now there is security round the store, a 4 mitten minimum per person AND a 4 Hour line –up wait.

So exciting!!!!
