I Highly Recommend These Experts/Resources!
In addition
to my
family, friends and employees, I have
online mentors and favorite authors whose wisdom and insights
have changed my mind and saved me from many wasted hours. I'm
including here just my very favorite experts and resources. My
goal is to help you find the help you need ASAP so you
can keep moving toward your own goals.
Some of
these resources are free, but most are books, training packages,
membership sites or coaches. I recommend each as a good investment,
but do not offer any type of guarantee, as each has their
own customer service set-ups and refund policies.
If you
just have a quick clarifying question, book a per-minute coaching
session with me HERE.
But if
you need extra support, I recommend the following.
| |
Appointment
& Booking System. Jan
Faber built this customizable system to do exactly what you
need done. It's used by governments, hospitals, beauiticians
and even me. |
Marketing:
Online Shopping Cart. I
have used 1shoppingcart for 8 years. Great customer service,
highly configurable, never down, etc. If you need one, try
this one. |
Attracting
Corporate Sponsors. Linda
Hollander is the best person I can recommend if you need someone
to help you attract corporate sponsors. She'll walk you through
it A-Z, for a fee, and if you do your part, it'lll be worth
every penny. |
Media
Placement: Results Based. I
have known Annie Jennings for about six years and have learned
bucket-loads from this woman! If you are ever going to hire-out
your promo, pick Annie! |
|

Media
Training: Radio Interviews. Wayne
Kelly is a morning radio talk show host himself and the absolute
best trainer I know if you want to learn how to get booked
(and do a great job on) radio shows. Highly recommended.

Media
Training: TV & Beyond. Susan
Harrow is a pro at taking you from where you are to your media-ready
self. If you need help with everything, tap into Susan's stuff! |
| |
Mission
& Vision Training. Laurie
Beth Jone's book, The Path, is my all time #1 recommendation
if you are still a bit confused about your purpose in life.
Awesome book! |
Author
Support: Self Publishing. Dan
Poynter is a super nice guy who has self-published over 75
books and come up with a system to help you get yours into
print. |
New
Business: Set Up Legalities.
Dave & I own, what, 8 businesses? I get
all the entities, but I find them boring. Please get advice
from these awesome people!! |
Branding
Yourself or Your Business. Linda
Lopeke is a branding guru and offers this $600 branding training
for free (left bar when you click the link). Check it out;
check her out! |
Outsourcing:
ODesk. I
love, love, love ODesk and have found truly remarkable support
from this site. Several of my outsourcers have been with me
since I found it in 2009. |
Coaching:
Ask Marnie.
If
you just need to pick my brain a few minutes, I'm here for
ya! Just know, I'm the coach who helps get your swing up in
the air, but I leave the pumping uo you! Remember: Much easier
once you get started right! |
Press
Releases: Business. Dan
Janal's system works. If you don't have time to make hundreds
of personal calls, but need to get the word out now, hire
Dan to put out your release. |
| |
Press
Releases: Christian. Simple,
straightforward, effective way to get your news out to the
Christian media. Nice people here! |
Connect
with God. This
is my own book on the topic, because people are always asking
me about my "unique" relationship with God. Enjoy! |
Restaurant
Ownership: General. I
don't have a great resource to teach you how to set up a restaurant,
but Bill Marvin is who taught me how to treat customers for
success. |
Customer
Service Training. Again
my own program, this is the training I give my teams and the
training I believe can make a difference for your customer
service team as well. |
|
Fear: Conquer Yours. Lisa
Jimenez has a great way of putting fear in its proper place.
If you struggle with fear, stop everything and take this training
before fear robs you of another dream! |
Social
Networking Training. Since
writing this eBook, I have received countless "thank
yous", from super busy people who are growing their social
networks, in 15 minutes a day. |
Goal
Setting: Brian Tracy. Brian
Tracy is a legend, a great guy and one of my heros. If you
are still struggling with goals - how to set them, achieve
them, balance them, then take this training. |
|
Kitchen
Shortcuts. This
perennial favorite has changed the way women do food. If you're
ready to serve great, homecooked meals. in the minutes you
have, check it out! |
Speaker
News & Training. Many
of the articles and training ops available through this site
are fantastic. I don't work with these folks directly, but
know I love their site! |
Laws
of Success: Leslie Householder. If
you are unfamiliar with the Laws of Success, let the beautiful,
gracious, Leslie explain them to you. Her 12-week program
changed my thinking! |
|
Laws
of Success: Bob Proctor. Leslie
(above) claims that much of what she teaches she learned from
Bob. However, this particular training comes at it from another,
important angle. |
Speaker
One Sheets.
Karen
Saunders is the one-sheet queen, in my book. She will take
what you've got and give it the professional touch. Truly
beautiful work. |
Marketing:
Go Mobile. When
you are ready to learn about mobile marketing, this is the
training I took and can recommend. It's spendy, but it's cutting
edge, so it would be. |
Time
Management: Tim Ferris. I
have practiced "4 Hour Work Week" principles for
years. Not all of them, of course, and I don't agree with
everything, but, what a great book! |
Marketing:
Article Marketing. I
use and recommend eZine Articles. As I type, my 33 articles
have been viewed over 100,000 times and have driven countless
buyers to my sites. It's free. |
Time
Management: Marnie-Style. I've
been giving away my time management training course for years
and some of my mentees go through it annually, just to stay
on track. |
Marketing:
Squeeze Pages. If
you think I have a lot of ideas, Jason Fladlien makes me
look boring! This guy is amazing and this particular training
is priceless.

Disclaimer:
No one got onto this page by asking to be here. They are here because
they're my real-life favorites. Whether the people or resources
above have an affiliate program or not is irrelevant to their inclusion
in my list. I listed them because they are the best in their field.
However, if they do have an affiliate program, I'm a partner! This
is just another income-generating strategy that you, too, should
consider. 1) When you find a product or service that is "the
best," from your perspective, and 2) you're going to tell people
about it no matter what, then 3) check to see if they offer an affiliate
program. If they do, you can, in all good conscience, get involved
and actually earn some residual income.
As an aside,
I have the type of outgoing personality that is forever being invited
to join multi-level marketing and every other imaginable business
opportunity. It's always a challenge to decide if a particular set-up
is ideal for one personally, but I additionally struggled because
some of them felt, well, wrong. As I was exposed to more and more,
I came up with a system that's helped me identify which to consider
and which to bypass immediately. Here's my litmus test: If I believe
the investment (in the product, service, whatever) is great, even
without the possibility of me ever getting paid by anyone to use
it, then the offer is legit. But, if I'm only interested because
of the residual income, I step into "scam-search" mode.
