Grateful for my Sizzling Sisters Mastermind Group

Inspired by my friend Jeanne Treloar's (www.witchwords.com) Gratitude blog posts I decided to do one of my own. I am grateful, SO grateful for my Sizzling Sisters!! This is my private Mastermind Group that started only about 18months ago. Here we all were independantly going about our business, doing our own thing when we all got together to start Masterminding. Some of us knew one another but some were complete strangers. We started meeting at my house. I was so nervous when Toni-Louise and I started this group. Was my house nice enough? Would these amazing business women accept me with all my flaws, kids and chaotic life. The first meeting I cleaned the house spotlessly, made cakes and had everything looking beautiful. As best I could anyway, after the morning school rush!!

I needn't have worried. These ladies are the most beautiful, kind, accepting people. We all very quickly realised that we speak each others language. We all come from a place of purpose, heart and soul. We are all intuitive and very much about helping others in all we do. We were all at different stages of business, some more experienced than others. Since getting together each of our businesses have taken off in a big way. We are all living lives of purpose and passion. Don't get me wrong, it's not all perfect for each of us, there's been many struggles along the way. The one thing we can be sure of though is that we have the support and love of one another to help us through every obstacle that comes our way. 

We share knowledge, resources, promotion, tears, hugs, experience, advice and alot of laughs as well. It's been the best part of my business by far, getting to know these girls and allowing each other to share our journeys.

I've grown to love each and everyone and have the utmost respect for them. And one thing I soon realised……they don't give a hoot about the state of my house!!!!! It's whats inside that matters!!!

Love you girls!!

Media Releases Work!!

Good news everybody!!

Remember all those media releases we sent out last week? I'm ecstatically excited to say they WORKED!!!!

Today we had an article featured in The Sunshine Coast Daily all about Stacey Currie and her workshop here on The Sunshine Coast next week. They even put in a gorgeous photo of Stacey with the title 'Stacey's Turning Lives Around'. How brilliant is that!!! We couldnt be happier for Stacey and the exposure she is getting from all our efforts. 

The purpose of these blog posts is to explain to you the process we've been using to promote this event.

What I really want you to know is just how much work goes into it and how strategic you must be. Writing those media releases was step one. Pressing send on that email is NOT all you're going to have to do to get results. You may need to send them a few times and make however many follow up phone calls as it takes to get a response. Even when the journalist has your story and indicates that they'll print it, there could always be a more newsworthy story that may take precedence over yours.

This is why we are celebrating so much today because getting yourself in the media takes determination, commitment and strategy. So once you get a result, it is a wonderful achievement. We sent 20 releases out, have had one radio interview, one TV journalist contact us and a newspaper article. We still need to keep chasing up the others.

So if you're sending out media releases right now and unsure about the results you're going to get, I hope our story has helped you a little to know that it will happen with the right commitment on your part.

Don't give up or be discouraged. Believe in what you want and go out and get it.

Diary of a Promoter

Okay, I’ve decided to bare all to you in this blog series titled “Diary Of A Promoter’.

We are 3 weeks off running our first ever big event. We’re bringing the gorgeous, inspirational, amazing Stacey Currie to The Sunshine Coast, all the way from Melbourne to present her one day workshop in Maroochydore "If you are Powered by Passion, ALL things are Possible", Saturday August 27th.

Stacey has the most incredible story that will have a profound effect on the life of every woman that hears it.

Its OUR job to make sure as many women on The Sunny Coast hear it!! We know how great she is, but HOW do we tell everyone else?  

Well, there are many ways to promote an event and I’m going to share with you our journey over the next 3 weeks as we go through this process.

Today I hit the pavement running. I literally walked for miles handing out brochures and talking to local business owners.  We had 1000 brochures printed and they look beautiful. (You can download the brochure here). All glossy and gorgeous. But now what do we do with them? Who's going to read them and how do we get them out to the right people?

So there I am in my knee high black boots, smart little dress and on a mission!

I went to coffee shops, handed them to business owners and talked to everyone I could about what an amazing event this is going to be.

At the same time I was looking for lucky door prizes and goodie bag donations.  It's interesting the responses I got. Some were very happy to help, some suspicious and not at all helpful and some just took the brochure and said ‘You need to contact head office’. Not so helpful!!

I asked the bigger stores to put brochures in their staff rooms and went around my local business area tonight putting brochures under doors and in letter boxes.

Every event we’re attending between now and the 27^th August, we’ll be taking our brochures and every person that shows the slightest interest in helping us will be getting a stack of brochures.

So today's blog post is all about the brochures. Tomorrow I’ll let you know what else we’re doing to promote this fabulous event. AND in 3 weeks time you’ll get to hear how successful all this effort was.

Stay tuned……..

I need some sleep………

Oh, and if you want to come to this event, here's the info. http://poweredbypassion.eventbrite.com/
