Powerful Partners

Jeanette — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:46:31 +0000

Growing up as an only child in a military family, I spent a lot of time alone. As we moved from one place to another, there was always a period when I didn’t know anyone. So I learned to enjoy my own company. As a work-at-home entrepreneur I also spend a lot of time alone. So it takes a lot for me to decide to

Growing Up Together

One of the advantages of being a “Pioneer” in any field is growing up as the topic does. It means that as you learn new things, new things are developed. So you can keep learning, but aren’t overwhelmed. That’s exactly what happened as I was “growing up” in Internet Marketing. For example, when I started the only shopping carts that were available were heavy duty,

Internet Marketing and Eating Compared

In this video I share ways in which Internet Marketing is a lot like eating. Why would I do something like this video? It was actually part of a challenge for a video course I was taking at the time. We had to do a full-face video that was related to our topic. It was definitely out of my comfort zone and took a lot

Fire Your Clients

When I started doing consulting many years ago, I was told that what you really wanted were clients who paid you on a recurring basis. After all, when you don’t need to market all the time you can focus on your clients more. I bought into that model and used it for many years in my business. Then in 2004 my mother died and I

Being A Minority Helped Me Stand Out

One of the things that was obvious when I first started attending Internet Marketing events was that I was in the minority. In a room of 400 attendees, maybe 10 of us were women! For me, it was nothing new. I had been a percussionist in high school and college bands – and in those days there were few female drummers. I had been an

Pioneer Days

One of the best things about having been online for so long is that we got to “make it up” as we went. There were no courses. No systems. No insider secrets. We were all learning together. It also meant that you got to leverage your strengths in any way that made sense. So it was no surprise when I started using teleseminars. After all,

Book Over Lunch

Having Lunch? Why not write a book! You’re reading this with a skeptical mind. And I would have, too, just 60 days ago – before I wrote and published my first book. So set aside your doubts and see how to make this work for you. How it Began It started as a pleasant lunch in my favorite “working” restaurant – you know

Jeanette — Mon, 07 May 2012 09:49:59 +0000

There are certain dates that stand out in your life. Your wedding day. The birth of each child. The day you retire. And there are a handful of events that make all the difference. One such event was in October, 2001. It was Jay Conrad Levinson’s Guerrilla Marketing Boot Camp hosted by Mark Joyner. A single-day event at Ceasar’s in Las Vegas and I wanted

Opportunity Knocks

Jeanette — Sun, 06 May 2012 09:32:22 +0000

Some people believe that opportunity only knocks once. I believe that many opportunities knock over the years. But there are times in your life when you recognize a unique opportunity that will only come once. When you hear that knocking – you either need to go for it – or let it go forever. So it was in 1999 at the height of the Dot

Outsourcing With Virtual Teams

Jeanette — Sat, 05 May 2012 08:48:21 +0000

In 1998 I was contracted by Apple Computer to help create the Apple Learning Interchange or ALI as we referred to it. I was part of a team of Apple employees, contract programmers and my team tasked with developing this site from scratch. A little about ALI. Apple wanted a place where K-12 teachers could find classroom resources online – and discuss learning plans. The
