Dear Friends,

Words matter.

In just a few words David Neagle, Million Dollar Income Acceleration Mentor, changed my mind.

On February 19, David is going to be my guest on a complimentary teleseminar about how to make a quantum leap to earn 7 figures. In the teleseminar, he is offering a free evaluation and consulting session so I thought I'd better go through it so I would know exactly what it was like and how valuable it really was before I promoted it.

I got more than I bargained for.

I couldn't really imagine how I could earn a million dollars this year. I wanted to believe I could, but logically and emotionally I couldn't make the leap. Especially not when I looked at the notion on paper.

One of my goals is to do a bit less consulting so I can concentrate on a big project. I'm starting a new website that will involve social networking and social responsibility. But where to find the extra hours in a day?

David didn't even need to address this topic. The advice he gave me set me in motion to begin revamping the consulting I already do and the products I already have.

Instead of advising me to do more, he advised me to do less—with more effect. I jumped into action and worked into the wee hours of the morning several nights in a row to do everything he recommended—consolidate, eliminate, and expand. This included my product line, my media coaching packages, and my strategic marketing planning sessions—like brainstorming with publicity firms to develop angles, ideas, pitches and segments for their clients.

This principle of reworking what I already have resonated with me as it's exactly like creating a sound bite. I listen to how you speak naturally, then train you to say more with less words. You have all the knowledge inside you, you just may not know how to package it.

Stand by. You will be seeing the (major) changes David helped me with reflected in my new website in a few weeks.

David can help you leap further than you think as well.

Warmly,

Susan

P.S. No matter where you are in your business or personal life you can always grow. "Nothing is impossible to a willing heart," says John Heywood.

Social Media—Chit Chat or Serious Connecting? Who Are Your Friends, Anyway?

I'm a featured expert on SelfGrowth.com and I'm being bombarded with other experts asking me to be their "friend." Many just send the standard form with no personal note. At first I was a bit put off by this. Out of curiosity I checked out a few of the "no note" senders, and decided not to accept their invitation. But the invites kept pouring in. Why? What's so good about having friends you don't know? I'm not sure, but I'm collecting them like Tupperware now, just in case.

Less Than 6 Degrees of Separation

A few weeks ago, I was at a fancy gala party for a high tech start-up company that was looking for investors. The view was gorgeous, the food fresh, the people plentiful, wealthy and happy. If you want money you need to look like you've got it already. Or, as my Nana says, "Money goes where money is."

In the kitchen at the pu pu island I saw a former client who sold his company during the dot com craze for 60 million dollars. Someone from LinkedIn, a social networking spot for professionals, had contacted me about possibly becoming a client, and we discovered that we had my former client in common. Small world.

I told my former client I didn't really get how to use LinkedIn. I often get contacted to become friends of these strangers as well (also with no personal note or details of what we might have in common). He explained that he had made some contacts with "friends of friends."

But what if those "friends" were like the SelfGrowth.com "friends" I'm making? Does it matter that we don't even know each other? I don't know the answers to these questions yet, but although I make many connections on the Internet, I'm more comfortable meeting people "warm hand to warm hand," like Zen Master Suzuki Roshi recommended, through people I and other people REALLY know and share something in common. And PR is as much about creating relationships as it is about having a good story and product to promote.

Speed Dating for Publicity Seekers

I still like old fashioned connecting, but fast. That's why I recommended to one of my clients that she attend the Publicity Summit.

There is no substitute for meeting the media in person, shaking someone's hand, speaking to them eye to eye and handing them your press packet. There is something about skin touching skin that you just don't get digitally. And at the Summit, you get more time with National TV producers pitching your product or story than you'll typically get on the air with the host!

My Space is Your Space

I recently interviewed a woman whose social networking helped her become a contestant finalist for Oprah's new show, "The Big Give." Her YouTube.com video helped her land a national TV spot as well. Hear more about what went on behind the scenes during the interview process, and how social media helped her, on February 5th as Nancy Juetten and I talk about using sound bites to get air and ink in a free teleclass here.

Meet the Media in Person At This Year's Publicity Summit

What is the Publicity Summit?

An event where you get to meet radio and TV producers, editors and literary agents personally. You choose the magazines and shows where you most want to be appear, then spend time with the producers and editors who make those decisions.

If you'd like to be a guest on top national TV shows like Oprah, Good Morning America, the Today Show, Fox News or Montel, attending the Summit is the quick path.

There are few faster ways to boost your sales than by reaching millions of people in a snap by appearing on National TV. Expect instant recognition and results.

Did you know:

• Deepak Chopra, best-selling author and teacher, sold over 800,000 books the month after his first Oprah appearance?
• James Ray, a teacher on the worldwide phenomenon blockbuster book and DVD The Secret, now speaks to sold out seminars throughout the world after his appearances on Larry King Live and Oprah?
• Greg Mortensen, founder of the Central Asia Institute (that builds schools for girls in Afghanistan & Pakistan), got hundreds of thousands of dollars for his organization, a book deal (that was later on the NY Times Bestseller list), was hounded by movie producers for rights for his story, and has spoken to the Pentagon—after a front page story in Parade Magazine?

Curious to find out how YOU might get similar results?

Join me and David Neagle, Million Dollar Income Acceleration Mentor, on making a quantum leap to a six, seven or even eight figure income. David teaches us the difference between those who move sequentially forward and those who blast ahead in business and in.come—and it has little to do with talent, intelligence or who you know, but everything to do with the principles of a quantum leap.

Here's what we'll cover:

• The personal beliefs that prevent most people from reaching a seven figure income.
• Why changing your rules for success is vitally important to making your leap.
• How to think beyond what common sense tells you.
• The number 1 thing you must avoid at all costs if you want a quantum leap.
• What you need to focus on during your jump.
• The hidden secret behind ALL communication.
