The only time you are a loser is when you lose your drive and motivation and you quit. Not being where you want to be right now today, does not mean you have lost as long as you still work as hard as you can each day. Sometimes all it takes is having someone who has been there and done that to show you the right formula and the way to do things by working right and not hard. When you have a system you are working right and I much rather work right any day! By the way, have you signed up yet to attend the Sporty Girl Celebrity Fitness Tour coming to the DC area? Women are coming out with their girlfriends to get rich and fit in all areas of their life with our celebrity trainer and you too should be there to network, get healthy and have some fun with us! Check it all out here:

Superwoman Lifestyle is all about having balance in your life, or at least something that resembles it! Women in business, striving to fulfill their dreams and missions while taking care of their children and families and THEMSELVES has been a huge struggle for a long time. Perhaps you don’t get the support you need in these areas, I know how that can be. It’s hard to push forward every day when you feel like you are alone and nobody understands. That is why your success in each aspect of your life greatly depends on who you surround yourself with and the environment you draw your strength from. Many, many women don’t have a community or environment of like-minded people who “get it.� Do you? Do you have someone who says, I understand your business, I understand your drive of being an entrepreneur…or how about, I understand you want to get healthier and find more time for yourself and your family. It’s hard to accomplish these goals when you often stand alone. No matter how great someone’s life looks from the outside, no matter how successful you think they are, as women we all have stories of struggle. But I do know that together, side by side we can push each other to rise above to even greater heights. Nobody can do it all alone! So together in 2010, The Extreme Women Entrepreneurs’ Retreat in June is going to be the time and place many, many women start realizing their businesses can and will go to a whole new level with a step by step proven formula for success, the same one I use over and over again! I cannot wait to transform so many lives!
Make sure you are registered for our February 8th coaching call, I have some new announcements, some new money making tips and some new key players who are going to transform your business and your life! Superwoman Lifestyle is growing at rapid rates and I want YOU along for the ride…

Saturday is my birthday and I am heading to Vegas! Part fun, but mostly business. Stay tuned for exciting updates! As promised, I gave out business critiques/enhancements to the first ten ladies who submitted their information to me. I was hit with boatloads of requests, so thanks for your submissions, but I could only do ten. But make sure you read all my ezines, I often do this and your business could be next! Are you registered for the next coaching call yet? If not, don’t miss out, act now:
http://vickiirvin.com/events/Superwomanlifestylepreviewcall.html
The purpose of the critique was to show how often women entrepreneurs are off the mark on who their target market is. Just about 100% of the submissions were off the mark. Most women entrepreneurs have not been taught the secrets to market research or are unaware how important and crucial and this step is. But that is okay and something we are going to change. I also promised to pick one submission and use it as a case study so that everyone could benefit. Here is the one I chose to share so you can see how the trained eye can see other opportunities that most would not be aware existed. I asked for three things: website, who you think your ideal client/customer is and an explanation of your product or service.
Her explanation as to what she does:
“I am a Life & Career Empowerment Coach. My ultimate goal is to help each client change their life to change their legacy by empowering them to create more fulfillment in their personal and professional lives through creating a Success Model that will help each client take control over their lives and purposefully navigate their way to success, no matter the arena in life. My ideal client is small business owners.�
I explained that her explanation, had I asked her at a networking event, would have left me confused and unclear and you only have a few seconds to capture a potential client’s interest. I suggested something more like this:
“I am a life and empowerment coach who customizes a plan of success and action for my clients based on their lifestyle and personal/professional aspirations and goals.�
After looking at her website and getting a feel for what she does, I felt she could help a lot more people than just small business owners which she indicated was her target market. I felt she could open up a whole new stream of income by reaching out to others and here is what I told her:
“Too narrow. I am sure there are employees who are burnt out from their 9-5 jobs and looking for a career change or to go into business for themselves. With your help, you could assist them in developing a transition plan to reach these goals as well as help them figure out what their true desires are. That opens up a whole new target market for you, EVERYBODY has a passion inside of them they want to release and many need direction from someone like you to actually do it! Not just small business owners.�
This woman entrepreneur seems very powerful and passionate to me and I know so many others could benefit from what she has to offer. By going after more than just small business owners she opens up her business to a major increase in revenue stream.
Keep in mind these are just quick examples and they can and should be properly researched and honed.
See how this works? On the Call February 8th, I will give EVERYONE a formula for actually doing this the proper way, so make sure you are registered, this one step is sure to get you clear and on track to a bigger bank account! Register here:

If you were one of the hundreds of ladies on the Monday night Superwoman coaching call, then thanks for tuning in, I appreciate the overwhelming amount of testimonials I received about the call and I look forward to our next one on February 8th, so mark your calendar. I will send you the registration form shortly. I’m excited because I am heading to Vegas next week and it is my birthday. Watch how I work this business trip into a party too! Stay tuned for something else I will show you live from Vegas as well!
Okay so are you SURE you know what it is that you do? I find that many women entrepreneurs have a hard time explaining what their product or service is all about in a clear, concise, confident and succinct way. Sounds basic and simple, but few people have this down to a science. You must carve out and design your marketing message so that when someone walks up to you and says FIRST NAME what is it that you do?….you are able to rattle it off easily and quickly leaving the person knowing exactly what you have to offer rather than confused.
Now we have work to do if you are unsure of what to say, but that is okay. That is an indication that you aren’t quite clear yourself in what direction you want to go with your business. Perhaps you have more than one idea or concept that you are trying to merge together that doesn’t quite fit into the same business model. Maybe you are holding onto something that you need to let go of. I know how it can be when you think you have a great idea, but it just doesn’t work out. You need someone to help you let it go so you can move on and progress. The reason having a clear message is so important is because you have to know who your target market is. You can’t hone in on your target market if you aren’t clear on your own services. And trust me when I say people will know the difference between someone who has it together and someone who does not, just based on how you communicate what you do. Here are some questions to ask yourself about your business that you must be able to answer:
1. I am in the business of_____________________
2. My target market is comprised of the following demographic___________________
3. The results you will attain as a result of my product/service are__________________
4. My business is unique from my competitors because___________________________
5. My product/service is valuable because______________________________________
There are of course many more questions about your business you should be able to easily answer, but these are a great start. Go ahead and see what you come up with. If you struggle or hesitate to answer of them, then you have to do some work on getting clear on your direction. You won’t be able to sell yourself to other people until you are confident and clear on what you do and that means selling yourself first! So take a shot at it and let me know how you did. If you need help, don’t worry, I will cover this topic on one of our coaching calls.
Good luck!

I hope your holiday was great! I personally had an awesome time with my husband and son the last few days taking some time to just relax. As I look at my calendar, 2010 is starting off with a trip to Vegas and Texas in January. Many, many women ask me all the time, why I travel so much and just what am I up to when I travel. Well my frequent travel has a lot to do with my success, one of the many secrets I will be sharing with you on the January 4th Coaching/preview call at 8:00pm EST! Not registered yet? Go ahead and do it now, hundreds of women entrepreneurs and those aspiring have already secured their lines to ensure 2010 is their best year ever!

So you think that “getting your mind right� is a bunch of mumbo jumbo nonsense huh? Well I used to think the same thing when I was starting out as an entrepreneur. I wanted to skip all the talks about belief systems and surrounding myself with the “right� people..blah, blah, blah. But I quickly learned that I could have all the technical knowledge I needed, if I didn’t have my mind right, surround myself with positive people who pushed me and I didn’t believe in my full potential, I would get absolutely NO WHERE. See, being an entrepreneur means you are entering a lonely world where few talk your language. How many times have you tried talking about your business to family or friends who just looked at you like you had two heads? Or how many times, did people tell you that you were nuts and that you need to stick to your day job? THAT is the reality of the world of entrepreneurship. Tip number one…YOU MUST BECOME IMMUNE TO CRITICISM to survive! If you take every negative comment or rejection personal, you will crumble. Tough skin is in order and not allowing anyone to take you off of your path is a must.
Tip number two…thinking you can learn and do it all on your own is a myth. I don’t care how focused you are, when you do not invest in your own education, you will never get off the ground or you will stall and never realize your full potential or level of success. Every single successful person you know and admire has coaches and mentors to guide them to the next level. They all invest in themselves to continue to learn and grow their business, there are no exceptions to the rule. When you see me traveling, I am typically on a business trip investing in my education with one of my mentors and I have several. And yes my investments pay off 100 times over with the skills and knowledge I am able to learn and apply that in turn increase my business profits. And I have become a master at finding ways to turn business trips into fun as well, nothing wrong with killing two birds with one stone!
I have had to show clients how they CAN afford to invest in themselves. Money is tight for everyone, but there is always a way to invest in you. It is amazing how many women entrepreneurs will skimp on education to increase their bank accounts for elaborate vacations, designer clothes and shoes and useless spending on non-income generating items. You can’t have it both ways. Either you are serious about your business, or you wish to just bask in the meaningless fly by night pleasures of life that do nothing more than drain your bank account and put you further in debt. The serious woman entrepreneur knows the difference and makes the sacrifice. Once you are making the money, THEN you can justify treating and rewarding yourself.
So if you are TRULY serious about your business, you have got to dedicate yourself to following a serious model and blueprint for success. Skipping steps does not work and it is another reason so few women entrepreneurs are realizing their full potential. Ready to learn more about how to get your biz on track? If so, make sure you register for my January 4th coaching and preview call designed to get you ready to realize your full potential in 2010. It’s now or never!

Everybody wants to make money with their business on-line and jump into the world of internet marketing. Internet marketing is attractive to so many people because it gives you the impression of just sending an email or two and having money just drop into your bank account. While that is kinda how it works, there are specifics steps to make sure it does. There is a right and a wrong way to market your business and there is also a system to it. If you have not studied and mastered a proven system of internet marketing then chances are you are not making that much money as an internet marketer with your products.
Now that does not mean that you can’t. It just means you have to understand the psychology behind what converts a prospect to a customer. If you chose to skip this step and not gain a clear understanding of why the system works, then you won’t be in business long. 2010 is about doing what is necessary, no more skipping steps! Trying to short cut the process is one of the top reasons so many women entrepreneurs fail in business.
Regardless if you are a coach, consultant, or network marketer, your products and services can outsell your competition any day if you take the time to learn how to market. First let’s look at some ways you can make money on line. Write down which categories your business, product or service fits into:
Selling things-this includes any type of tangible product
Selling information- eBooks, videos, audio, membership sites, information sites
Combination of stuff-combination of any number of tangible items that are making money
Product-products you have created and have permission to sell to others
Information-information on your field of expertise/industry you have created and have permission to sell or license
Affiliate-This simply means that you are promoting, marketing, and/or selling someone else’s product or information for a fee or portion of the sale amount.
Ads- perhaps a membership site where you drive targeted traffic and you have others paying you to advertise on your site
Can you see your business fitting into any of these categories? If so, you can create your information products and make money, that is the good news!
Confused about what to do next? Does it all seem too overwhelming for you? It doesn’t have to be! After creating your information product you need someone to market to, correct? Where do these prospects come from? Well, they better be coming from your efforts on building up your list. In this business your list is your golden egg. Your list should be guarded and protected with your life, nurtured like you nurture and tend to a baby, and the relationship should be cultivated and given lots of attention. I am still amazed at how many women entrepreneurs have awesome products and services but don’t know how to attract clients or how to sell them properly. Another step that cannot be avoided or your business will be doomed. BUILDING A LIST OF QUALIFIED PROSPECTS IS A MUST. But don’t worry, there are proven ways of doing this that all the successful tops folks in the industry do, so the good news is there is no need to reinvent the wheel.
If you do not have a contact management system like Aweber to capture your leads, put it on your PRIORITY list for 2010. Your email marketing will depend on it. I will discuss why this is so important on our January 4th coaching call as well as steps you can take immediately to set yourself up for success. Here is a preview of topics being covered on Jan 4th:
• Why so few women entrepreneurs are prospering
• Entrepreneur mindset- are you cut out for this business?
• Psychology behind selling and relationship marketing
• Creating your information or signature product
• Importance of using a contact management system for lead capture and communication
• How to convert a prospect to a client…..
