Next Monday night I'm hosting an "office party" for all of my entrepreneurial clients who never get to go to office parties or company picnics. Depending on your point of you, this could be sad or lucky. In addition to providing a traditional get-together in a...
I just heard a useful piece of information regarding pricing. The age-old question is: How much should I charge? It doesn't matter if it's a piece of jewelry or a coaching service. The quandary of how to price your goods or services is a perennial challenge. I have...
An unexpected package arrived at my door today...from a floral company. The return label revealed nothing about the sender. For a few glorious minutes I wracked my brain for who might be sending me a bouquet. My birthday is next week (July 4 for anyone who wants to...
"I suck at advertising," was one of Drew Lamm's opening lines last night to the group of assembled women. I could tell this was going to be a special event by the energy outside her purple front door. Women were pulling their cars onto Drew's quaint, narrow street...
Remember the 401 courses you took in college--the advanced seminars vs. the elementary level 101 courses? I felt like that's where I was last Thursday night when I walked into the Four Seasons Boardroom in NYC for, of all things, the Boardroom--publishers of Bottom...
Mary Ellroy, owner of Gamebird, is a game and toy inventor as well as a consultant to those wishing to bring their products to market. She's also a member of my nearly 20-year old mastermind group and a dear friend. I take what she says seriously. Slight...
When I was a networking newbie, an entrepreneurial woman I met told me she'd like 15 minutes of my time during which she promised to "dazzle" me. I agreed to hear her pitch. I was not dazzled. I don't remember what she was selling. But I do remember her misuse of...
At the urging of my own personal mastermind group (thank you, Mary, Brenda and Val), I began blogging three years ago this month. At the time it felt like yet another thing to do, another check box on the list. Not quite drudgery, but I couldn't see the point....
Here are my favorites from my beach shoot with Katie Settel last week. Would love your feedback! I'm going to update my facebook and twitter accounts and wanted more current (and more flattering) images. What do you...
Katie Settel, of Katie Settel Photography, and I spent a few hours at Calf Pasture Beach on Friday. I need to update my social media images and love the way Katie has captured shots at my Remarkable Women's Network events for me. While Katie was selecting...
I'm excited to be hosting my 17th Remarkable Women's Network event this evening at Alfya's Skin Care Salon in New Canaan. I met Alfya when she was a Master Aesthetician at Noelle, the Day Spa in Stamford. In Alfya's trusted hands, I was transported from mom,...
I received a beautiful invitation in the mail last month for an event I'll be attending tomorrow night, March 31. The pink sticky note on the outside of it was from Linda Hunt, a current client in my Mastermind Group. It read, "Jane, this is a wonderful event I...
I'm in Phoenix, AZ attending InfusionCon, the conference for users of Infusionsoft.com programming. There's a very sophisticated, tech-savvy population of marketers here who seem to be using the program phenomenally well judging by the enthusiasm level and results...
In my WBDC Fast Trac Growth Venture course this past Saturday the discussion focused on what market segment brings in the most revenue. One student's report carefully illustrated how eight customers brought in the bulk of their company's revenues. Most people in...
Lots of thoughts streamed through my head as I put together folders for my newest Mastermind Group that started Wednesday night. I got a kick out of how my marketing materials have evolved over the years. I love how I'm able to put a branded label through my...
