New York City & Holiday Photos

Hi Creators and Big Thinkers!

I am writing from New York City this week. I am here with my husband who is here on business. I am using much of the time while he is in meetings to work on my next book that I am coauthoring with Melanie Benson Strick. Our tentative title is Smart Women Create Virtual Teams. More information to come in a few months.

If ya want to see a quick video of me in my room at The Michelangelo Hotel getting ready to grab a bite to eat and then cuddle up in warm blankets (NY is cold!) and write.

I also wanted to take a quick moment to share some recent family holiday photos with you too.

I hope you enjoy and Happy Holidays to you!

My Top Twelve HIGH ROI To Do’s For Your Business in 2009

By Sheri McConnell

Create a Timeless and Focused Marketing Plan for Your Business
As you probably have heard by now—you aren’t in the business of (fill in the blank here). You are in the business of marketing. Your marketing must be automated and systemized. Period.

Create Passive, Income Generating Information Products
Create your own advances and get paid to create information products. Many, many target markets are considered “information hungry”.

Build Your Most Important Asset… Your List
Success on the Internet is about providing high-quality information, solving problems AND the list.

Use Social Networking Sites Such As Facebook, Linked In, My Space, and Twitter
Used strategically, social networks extend your brand and funnel thousands of new leads into your business funnel each and every quarter.

Create A Very Profitable Internet Launch for Your Information Product or Book
Set up correctly, these launches generate thousands and tens of thousands dollars of income, new leads for you, and all your partners.

Create Your Own Certification Program
Certification programs aren’t just for large companies. Solo online entrepreneurs can also benefit from building and creating a certification program within their company.

Build Your Own Virtual Team
Learn how to find, build, and manage a virtual team. The key to “leverage” is the team. We all have weaknesses. Don’t make the most common entrepreneurial mistake: thinking you can do it all.

Approach, Create, and Solidify Long-Lasting Joint Ventures
All successful businesses are built on thriving relationships–on and off the Internet. And with all relationships, you should focus on who and how you attract partners.

Know Which Publishing Options Are Right for YOU
Learn what your publishing options are and make a choice based on the path that is right for you based on your personality, strengths, and weaknesses.

Double Your List Size With A Virtual Event
One of the best strategies for growing the list is an online virtual event with multiple partners or joint ventures. Give customers free access and structure the event correctly and it is a huge list builder.

Develop Your Intuition
Most entrepreneurs spend so much time focusing on all the “outside” stuff that they forget to get help on learning how to “think” like a CEO. Your success and ability to run a profitable company depends on your leaning how to develop your CEO intuition.

Use Visual Tools To Set Goals and Stay On Track
All successful entrepreneurs incorporate visual components into their strategy planning. They spend as much time planning as they do in the marketing, operations, finance parts of their business.

Happy “Boo” Day

Hi Creators!

Just wanted to write and say Happy “Boo” Day!

Here are some pictures we took this week from our neighborhood party and parade.

My husband was very scary as Dorothy… just a warning. And our dog–Emily got most of the attention as a hot dog.

Take care and have a safe night.
