			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p><img class="alignnone" title="MAIN EVENT BABY!" src="http://hdsportsstream.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ufc-132-300x75.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="75" /></p>
<p>I am calling on my Superwoman Powers this week! I am super busy trying to get as much work done as possible before I head out to Vegas for my wedding anniversary and my husband’s big UFC fight. We are the MAIN event at the MGM GRAND and we have invited all of our internet marketing buddies to come hang out, mastermind and celebrate with us.  If you are a UFC fan let me know, we bring people with us to Vegas all the time to hang out!</p>
<p>On another note, if you are one of the people who has supported my book, “The Superwoman Lifestyle Blueprint” then I want to thank you! The books are flying off the shelves and capturing the attention of the media! If you live in the DC, MD, or VA area<strong> I will be on WHUR 96.3 live today to talk about the book and what I have going on at 7:10 pm and taking listeners questions.</strong></p>
<p>*****************************************</p>
<p>My Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event is right around the corner and we are busy plugging away to make this THE event for serious women in business.  It’s no secret that I am all about the marketing is it? I can’t help it,<strong> I am on a mission to teach women the REAL “how to make money skills” and get them focused on what generates income like the big boys do it!</strong></p>
<p>I had to take a moment on reflect on <strong>how grateful I am to be able to expose women to some of the top entrepreneurs in the business today.</strong> Our speakers and guests are self-made people like you and I who left their jobs to realize their dreams and impact the world with their gifts.  Not only that, but the willingness to give back to others and give them the blueprints to how they did it, step by step.</p>
<p>If you are coming to the Extreme Women Entrepreneurs event , I must warn you. <strong>As my mentor James Malinchak says, “the information, blueprints and strategies you will be handed only work when YOU put them to action.”</strong> Implementation is hard for a lot of people, and 10 times harder when you don’t run your business on a system or know how to bring in new prospects and convert them to customers.</p>
<p><strong>Waking up everyday wondering what to do next in your business is no fun.</strong> Not knowing where your next client or sale will come from is even worse. <strong>That is not a business…that is a hobby. </strong>Nothing makes me happier than to see someone move from what I call “the hobby phase” to operating and growing a real sustainable business.  It’s a brand new world!!!</p>
<p>I could go on and on about this subject, but I have something even better.<strong> I am holding a webinar today, June 28<sup>th</sup> at 2pm and 8pm EST on my “Entrepreneurial Success Blueprint.”</strong></p>
<p>If you can invest 90 minutes of your time into this webinar, I guarantee you will be forever happy you do.  Hope you join the rest of us, we are on FIRE!!</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.VickisWebinar.com"><strong>CLICK TO JOIN WEBINAR TODAY</strong></a></h2>
<p>Vicki</p>
<p>P.S. If you already registered for the webinar…AWESOME! Be sure to set aside some uninterrupted “ME” time and take great notes.<strong> And of course you KNOW I am ALWAYS full of surprises! *wink wink*</strong></p>

<p>“The possibilities and opportunities are endless for you and your business when you make the important and life-changing decision to learn the core principals and strategies of effective marketing.” – Vicki Irvin</p>
<p>First, thank you to everyone who submitted a question to me, I look forward to helping you out.  In case you missed it, from time to time I will be taking business challenges from real people just like you and helping to solve them.  All you need to do it is send your challenge to: <a href="mailto:info@vickiirvin.com">info@vickiirvin.com</a> with a subject line that says: “Help Me Vicki” and you may just see it featured and solved right here on the E-VOLVE  E-zine like Nisha below…..</p>
<p><strong> ************************************************************************</strong></p>
<p>Hi Vicki</p>
<p>Vicki &#8211;thank you in advance.  My issue is marketing resources.  I have the ideas and concepts, but don&#8217;t have the money.  I&#8217;m an author and speaker however, it&#8217;s been very difficult getting speaking opportunities because other people don&#8217;t know about my services (other than my family and friends).  Help!</p>
<p>Thanks again for your willingness to help! &#8211; Nisha</p>
<p>Hi Nisha,</p>
<p>Your question is one of the top ones that I receive from entrepreneurs on a regular basis! Regardless of what it is that people do, EVERYONE needs a way to get the word out about their products and services or else their business will suffer.  Which of course takes us back to effective marketing, all roads in the end lead us back to marketing!</p>
<p>For the budding entrepreneur with great ideas and concepts, the sky truly is the limit, so don’t be discouraged.  You have an awesome opportunity to start building your business the RIGHT way from scratch, so consider yourself lucky!</p>
<p>I work with a lot of authors and speakers and normally we begin by putting a system in place for them to attract speaking opportunities from the right types of clients.  We narrow down who their target market is based on their message.  I am not sure what your particular speaking topic is, but you must learn how to target the clients who would want to hear your message, and of course…pay you for it.</p>
<p>As a speaker, you will also have times when you speak for free, and when you do, you must learn how to “showcase” for bigger opportunities.  Every chance to speak in front of an audience opens up the door for someone else in the room to book you for future engagements based on your performance. In fact this is how most big time speakers get booked, by others in the audience seeing them.  On the flip side, this means that your “talk” must be on point and designed in a way to move people, so to become a marketable speaker that people will pay, there is a system to that as well.</p>
<p>Here is a solution for you, as there is no way, I can help you here so quickly.  My Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event this year has some of the TOP speakers/authors in the world coming as my guests and guess what? They will be teaching exactly what I am talking about, how to get booked to speak!  I am dying to tell you exactly who these big name speakers are, but it won’t be fair until I open my event registration.</p>
<p>But I can say this…anyone including yourself who is serious about speaking as a long-term, lucrative career, NEEDS to be at my event to learn from the top speakers on how to get booked, and design a talk that people will be DYING to pay you for! So stay tuned for that, it will definitely be the solution you need!</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Vicki</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 305px"><img title="Branding Blueprint" src="http://www.redwinebuzz.com/winesooth/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/spotlight.jpg" alt="" width="295" height="325" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Put The Spotlight Back On YOU!</p></div>
<p>Are you able to distinguish yourself from your competitors? In a crowded market, what do you do that is so different from everyone else? What is totally unique about your product or service that makes it a no-brainer for a person to choose you over everyone else?</p>
<p>If you are unable to answer any of these questions because you just don’t know, then chances are you either do not have a brand for your business, or your brand is not built or based on anything strategic.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.vickiirvin.com/branding">Click to learn more here</a></strong></p>
<p>Let me paint a scenario for you.  I often hear entrepreneurs complain that the economy has totally killed their business.  They say that they can no longer make money because customers just don’t have any money right now, and therefore their business is barely hanging on.  Well, I say that is not entirely true.</p>
<p>I say that because I know people in every niche and industry imaginable who are having their best years in business ever.  While their competitors may be struggling or having to close their doors, they are thriving because they learned how to position themselves differently in the marketplace. That means they have a “hook” and something that is causing people to gravitate towards them over everyone else.</p>
<p>Learning how to strategically do that is a skill in itself and one that could very well be the difference between your business thriving…or dying.</p>
<p>People still have money, they just put more thought into where to spend it, and who to spend it with. So don’t be fooled by all the economy doom and gloom, chances are your business could be thriving too, if you had just the right branding and positioning!</p>
<p>If you want to learn more about Branding and how to monetize it, then make sure you register for my complimentary tele-class, <strong>“Brand Building Blueprint-How To Create And Monetize An Authentic and Unique Brand That Attracts Clients Like A Magnet in 3 Simple Steps.” </strong></p>
<p>This is one of my most popular tele-classes to date and It’s back by ULTRA popular demand<strong>!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>I am home today with my son! The school called and said he got sick, so I am on Superwoman nurse duty. Hopefully it is just a 24 hour bug.  But while I am here, I wanted to give you a heads up&#8230;I will be holding a brand-new FREE tele-class really soon, this is the call entrepreneurs everywhere have been waiting for. I just wanted to give all of my superwomen subscribers a heads up, that I will be announcing it next week, so be on the look-out and make sure you secure your spot!</p>
<p>****************************************<br />
Procrastination is killing businesses everywhere! As I work with my coaching clients, I am amazed at how many of them are being held back due to the lack of discipline. Well, I shouldn&#8217;t say that I am amazed, it&#8217;s just that they are looking for something else to be the reason for why they are not profiting to their potential, when in fact many times, it boils down to time management and discipline. And that is ok, because there is an easy fix for it!</p>
<p>As women we STAY busy, juggling many, many jobs, nobody knows that better than me. But there is a way to ensure that you put the time you need into your business so that it can grow and expand and so can your bank account. It&#8217;s starts with some deep soul-searching and evaluation. As kooky as it sounds, if you just go through this simple exercise, you will uncover the MUCH needed precious time you didn&#8217;t think existed.</p>
<p>Pay attention to your daily habits.  How much time are you spending on the phone talking about unimportant things with your friends&#8230;how much time are you spending on text message conversations about much of nothing? How many favorite TV shows do you just HAVE to watch that are sucking precious hours out of your life and taking away from your business?  If you walk around with a journal for a few days and log the hours you are engaging in such activities, you will find the time you swore you didn&#8217;t have to put into your business to take it to the next level.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more important? Your business or the Housewives? (gosh I love that show)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>A much needed retreat with my high school girlfriends is coming up this weekend! We are spending the weekend on the Harbor at the Gaylord Hotel! I am planning on taking the boat out so we can have a party on the water&#8230;only problem is that I am very rusty on driving the boat, I am used to someone else driving! This should be entertaining to say the least. There are some exciting events and special exclusive announcements coming up, so stay tuned! Oh and mark your calendar, The Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event 2011 is being held July 15-17th in Washington, DC. I am locking down some dynamic celebrity guest speakers and I am so excited!</p>

<p>Guess what? Everyone is not going to believe in you, or your purpose and passion. But that isn&#8217;t your job anyway, so who cares? Your job as an entrepreneur is to bless the world with your talents that are being used to enrich the lives of other people. If you have a passion that is making money for you as well as helping others reach their potential, or solve their problem, then you are indeed gifting people every day.</p>
<p>Many women have a difficult time tooting their own horns because they were raised to remain humble. Remaining humble and promoting yourself are two different things. If you have a product or service that is genuinely helping people, then it is your job to extend your services to the world so that you can help even more people&#8230;and you can do all that while being humble!</p>
<p>So how exactly are you promoting yourself and your business? What medias are you using? Are you using those medias to their maximum potential and are you using them correctly?  If you are not building up a steady list of new prospects who are waiting to buy from you, then it is time to take another look at your funnel and make some changes so that you can finally profit the way that you should be and the way that you deserve to be! Always remember your ability to make money is directly related to the vitality of your list! Stay tuned for more information on how to build a list of prospects dying to give YOU money!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>I had an awesome time in Vegas at the James Malinchak event! Saw some of the usual suspects and connected with a bunch of brand new people. I was also excited to see some of my coaching students there, they had a great time and are now bursting with new ideas and concepts.  That is what happens when you network and move in various circles of influence, it can be down-right life-changing!   Good news…I have my celebrity speaker for the Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event 2011! Yup, I am already planning for the big event next year, fresh off the heels of how great 2010 was!  Fast implementation and planning has proven to be one of the keys to my success and I love to pass that concept on to my subscribers…<strong>Money is attracted to Speed!</strong></p>
<p>Be sure to join the Superwoman Lifestyle forum and meet thousands of other fabulous and intelligent women! Superwoman Lifestyle is a forum for women to promote their products and services and network!  <strong>Check it out today:</strong></p>

<p>So you want to help as many people as possible? I find that many entrepreneurs have that same mission. Besides running a profitable and lucrative business, their goal in life is to give back to their community, church, children or an organization they are really passionate about. But keep in mind, no matter how badly you want to carry out your mission, you will be unable to make a difference or impact until you get yourself and your business in best position possible…and you do that by investing in YOU to learn the proper systems to put in place so that your business is profiting.  See, it’s not enough to WANT to give back, nothing will happen until your put in the effort to profit so that you can affect the masses.</p>
<p>The last couple of events that I have gone to, reminded me of this powerful concept. Besides James Malinchak being an awesome businessman and entrepreneur, he is also a great person who has the same mission as the rest of us…to give back.  Not only does he educate other people on how to make their businesses profitable, but I have seen him raise $100,000 and $50,000 dollars at his live events for his children’s organization.  Do you see the power in that?  Close your eyes for a second and imagine you having your own live event, with people who have come to learn from you. On top of your great event, you have the power to ask your attendees to help donate and raise money for the charity or group you are passionate about.  Then imaging the joy of being able to write that big check for your organization of choice. How powerful and awesome is that? Not only are you operating an awesome business that is enriching the lives of other people, but you are now also in a place to give back and fulfill your mission in life!</p>
<p>Entrepreneurship obviously has it’s perks when it is done right! That means working in your business, investing in learning proven systems and being consistent.</p>
<p>Have a GREAT weekend!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p><strong>The Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event was absolutely amazing!</strong> The event was information and action-packed and a life-changing experience for so many women. James Malinchak, Ed Rush, and Lloyd Irvin came in and added a level of expertise we could have only dreamed of. I am so happy to have introduced so many women to a real system for their business where they can now see all that they have been missing.  Can’t wait to do it again next year!  Many women from the Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event are going to be hanging out in Vegas at James Malinchak’s next seminar at the end of this month! I can’t wait to see those of you who will be there and introduce you to some other fabulous people in my circle!</p>

<p>Do you feel STUCK in your business or in your life? If you do, then what do you plan to do about it? I find that when we feel trapped, we think it is beyond our control to change our circumstances, when in fact we are the ONLY ones who can change out circumstances! Being stuck is just a state of mind.  Nobody forces us to stay in a situation that is not ideal. Nobody makes us stay in a relationship we don’t feel good about. Nobody makes us stay working in a job we don’t like. Nobody makes us stay stuck running our business the wrong way.</p>
<p>In reality we control all of those things and we have the power to do something about them.  If you are not happy in a relationship, then leave.  If you do not like your job, then leave and find another one. If you are not happy about how your business is going, then invest in yourself, find a coach or mentor and change the face of your business. Successful entrepreneurs recognize that they control their own destiny. They do not blame other people for their short-comings or failures. They learn from their mistakes and they regroup and keep pressing on.</p>
<p>The harsh reality is that we are usually our biggest obstacle in life. Coming up with ways to pacify ourselves as to why something is not going our way. Pointing fingers and placing blame in every direction possible except ourselves.  The day we all learn to look at the woman in the mirror, accept her for the great person she is and promise to work on the areas that need work…is the day we realize that the sky is the limit and accept no more excuses.</p>
<p>So today, you are no longer STUCK in anything you don’t want to be in. You either choose to become unstuck or you remain where you are knowing that YOU made that decision and accepting full responsibility for the outcome.</p>
<p>So what’s it going to be? I vote for becoming UNSTUCK!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Only a couple weeks until my Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event and I am so excited….and busy! It seems the last few months have been non-stop work, but well worth it. I hope you are prospering and getting your business to the level you deserve by focusing your marketing efforts!  My live event on June 12th was awesome, we had such a great time networking and marketing! A couple lucky ladies also got a chance in my SuperSeat where myself along with the other HIGHLY intelligent women in the room helped them solve their business challenge on the spot!  The ladies who got a chance in my SuperSeat were so excited, one so much that she sent me a LOVELY gift from Nordstroms and the other a glowing email about how she did the things we told her and she is already seeing it work! Check out Pam’s email after just 15 minutes in my SuperSeat below:</p>
<p><strong>I had a wonderful time yesterday! Thank you for the great advice !! I&#8217;ve already made the changes to my site and it&#8217;s working!!! I am super duper excited about July&#8230;&#8230;you are such a blessing! Thank you very much!<br />
Pam Jenkins/Koils By Nature</strong></p>
<p>If you missed my June 12th live event, here is your second chance to get some of what you missed! Join my June 30th Tele-coaching call next Wednesday and find out the traps and mistakes you may be making, how to avoid them, and most importantly how to profit! Check out the video and details here:</p>

<p>Have you registered for the Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event yet? If not, what are you waiting for? Call my assistant Bonita at 301-292-8990 and see how she can get you into this critical event!</p>
<p>I got an email today from Dan Kennedy, I follow his teachings very closely.  He stated that we are in an entrepreneurial war! I couldn’t agree more!  Anybody can make money in their business in a good economy without a whole lot of effort.  But when the economy changes or things are thrown off one little bit, IF you do not have a system or the skill-set to shift your business model, then you will probably be going out of business. A smart entrepreneur arms herself with the tools she needs to combat any conditions. And then she gets into HUSTLE-MODE!</p>
<p>As an entrepreneur you have to stay hungry! You have to stay in hustle-mode, even when the economy is good. You have to do MORE than your competitors are doing and you have to plug up all the holes in your business. And another important thing…you MUST learn how to attract paying clients. Wealth attraction is a mind-set. If you do not invest in yourself or your business, then you can’t expect clients and customers to invest in you. That is the law of attraction!</p>
<p>Take a moment to reflect on your business today. Have you been investing in yourself and your education? Do you have a qualified coach or mentor? Are you staying on top of your game and ahead of your competitors? If you are doing these things, you should be prospering.  But if you are NOT doing those things, chances are you are not making the money you should be. And nothing will change for you until you start living in a wealthy mindset and attracting wealth.</p>
<p>If you KNOW that your business is great, if you KNOW you have something of value that people can really benefit from, if you KNOW you are meant to be an entrepreneur, then YOU need to be at the Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event July 9th-11th.  Three (3) jam-packed days of marketing systems to attract clients. Three (3) dynamic top-notch sought after and in demand speakers who can show you how to increase your business profits. A nurturing environment of all women there to support each other as we make our mark on the world!</p>

<p>While I was in Miami out shopping, I noticed the business owners doing more than usual to attract clients and customers into their shops.  Miami ALWAYS has people working to hustle up people to dine at their restaurants or shop in their stores.  They don’t just let people walk by, they hire people to actually talk to you and get you to buy from them. Everyone is hustling up business. But this time, I noticed them doing even more, probably in response to the economy which is of course the smart thing to do.  Stores were holding fashion shows using their sales clerks to model and walk the runway IN THE STORE, all in an effort to get customers inside so they could sell them. I thought it was brilliant. But it also got me to thinking about how little most people do in their own business to bring in customers. You can’t just send an email or post your business link on Facebook, that doesn’t work. You HAVE to have a list of prospects that you can communicate with.  Without a list, the key to ANY business, you will not get to the level you want.  Having a list means you are targeting your ideal market. Doing anything else, means you are out there blindly marketing to anyone, many of who are not interested in what you are offering.  Building your list is an ongoing process that successful entrepreneurs are working on continuously, that is how and why they are making money.</p>
<p>You have to have a system of marketing to people that is well thought out and delivers a clear and concise message that resonates with your target market. So if you do not have a list for your business that is a TARGETED list and you are not bringing in new prospects, then chances are I have just solved your business challenge.  The next step is HOW to build that list and there are multiple ways of getting that done.</p>
<p>We will be devoting a lot of time to list building at the Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event July 9th-11th! If you KNOW that your business is great, if you KNOW you have something of value that people can really benefit from, if you KNOW you are meant to be an entrepreneur, then YOU need to be at the Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event July 9th-11th.  Three (3) jam-packed days of marketing systems to attract clients. Three (3) dynamic top-notch sought after and in demand speakers who can show you how to increase your business profits. A nurturing environment of all women there to support each other as we make our mark on the world!</p>

<p>I started working with a new client a couple weeks ago. She was trying to figure out why she could not bring in any new business or clients. I asked her how she was currently marketing her business and she said with Facebook. Immediately I knew why she wasn’t getting any new business. Facebook is an AWESOME tool for marketing your business, however there is a right and wrong way to do it, and most people are doing it wrong. If you are not driving traffic from Facebook onto your own personal list, then you are doing it wrong.  You don’t own Facebook and therefore you don’t own any of your friends and contacts on Facebook.  If they decide to delete your account for any reason, all of your contacts are gone and I know plenty of people it has happened to.  Secondly when you communicate with anyone on line in a place like Facebook, you are talking to them in a space that millions of others are as well.  You should be looking for places to talk to your prospects where other people are not.  How awesome would it be to if YOU were the ONLY person communicating with them and eliminating competition?</p>
<p>The absolute worst number to have in business is ONE! One of anything is rarely good, you should always be arming yourself with multiple legs. The person who relies on referrals for their business and gets lulled into a false sense of security thinking they never have to market any other way, will one day be devastated when those referrals dry up. It always happens, it’s just a question of WHEN it will happen.</p>
<p>By the way, here is one of the top reasons your business isn’t pulling in any traffic.  Nobody can find you anywhere.  Let me ask you a quick question…where do you go when you want to find ANYTHING these days? Most likely you Google it, right?  Well that is what people are doing when they are searching for your products or services too.  And if you are not coming up in those Google searches, then you are losing out in a major way.  To not have a presence on line in this day and age is killing any business.  This hole in your business has got to be plugged up quickly!</p>
<p>If you KNOW that your business is great, if you KNOW you have something of value that people can really benefit from, if you KNOW you are meant to be an entrepreneur, then YOU need to be at the Extreme Women Entrepreneurs Event July 9th-11th.  Three (3) jam-packed days of marketing systems to attract clients. Three (3) dynamic top-notch sought after and in demand speakers who can show you how to increase your business profits.
