My friend Janet Beckers from Wonderful Web Women has created a storm of online positive business building action in her now famous Passion into Profit Challenge.

As part of the Challenge Janet (and others like myself  who know Janet very well ) inspired 63 people to take time out of their busy lives to create an info product then post it into her blog– many of whom had never made an info product before.

So inspiring…real people taking action towards their dreams.

Now Janet is upping the ante and flat out giving away videos jam-packed with some of her best ideas on how to create info products quickly…get potential JV’s to say ‘yes’ to you & attract consistent income online…through the power of JV expert Interviews.

This system has worked like a charm for Janet. And I’m saying it can work for YOU as well!

Janet went from close-to-broke and frustrated…to building a massive list, and generating consistent abundant income online through the power of JV interviews.

In fact she started out with no list, and no product and built up a huge reputation, a massive list and consistent income from a membership site in just months by interviewing the ‘top dogs’ in her field and leveraging off them in a ‘win win’ way.

Find out how she did it here:

P.S You get instant access to some of the videos and others you opt in for.
But here is a little secret…(So sshhhh!)….I happen to know there is an extra ‘mystery’ gift for you when you opt in.  I know you will really love it because it involves getting in touch with what is most important to you and living your passion.

I won’t spoil the surprise – you can find out here:

Debbie Ducic is JAZZED about Patti Serrano’s newest insight about what’s working for her in the online world as well as the physical world and she calls it ORGANIC MARKETING.

It’s The New Wave of Marketing your Business - The Natural Way.

If you are a small business person, you’ll LOVE learning from this GutZy Woman, which is why you won’t want to miss this FREE LIVE interview with Patti, AKA “Grandma”! (Grandma and the Geek is her latest UStream Live streaming broadcast on Sunday nights.)

It’s happening THIS WEDNESDAY, July 16th, 2008 at 7:30 PM MDT, 9:30 Eastern. You must REGISTER HERE for the details:

The GutZy Women International Mastermind Alliance Teleseminar - Webcast or “Simulcast” series started last week and will continue once a week with a different guest for the rest of the summer to enhance the visibility of what successful women are doing across the world.

These are Patti’s own words…

“In all my years of working in the surfing industry we adopted some of the same laws of nature to do business.

The ebb and flow of the tides and swells is a simple way of looking at the way you can create new business. The natural way to be out in the water surfing was to “share” or give up a wave knowing that the waves come in sets or 3 or 4 at a time. In each set there was always a bigger one than the others.

You could take the first or second wave of the set and have fun or you could share the set and wait for the “BIG ONE.” Such as it is in business today. People are sharing information on the internet through blogging and podcasting and becoming experts in their field. Through this sharing comes new business or “the big one.”

Also, organic marketing can come from the natural, back to the basic way meeting people and making friends. Meeting in smaller groups to get to know the person better helps the business relationship grow.

Many large mega churches are forming smaller groups with this theory in mind. A small business can set a goal to get out to a small event once a week and watch their business grow though this tried and true method.

Patti is a serial entrepreneur who has built more than a few successful small businesses as well as train others to follow her methods.

“Free is such a powerful force in innovation”

Think about it…the financial risk is removed when something is free. Removing risk is powerful! We are much more easily motivated to take action when there is nothing to lose. But have you ever thought about how if something is free it encourages us to be innovative?

It intrigued me because although I know the word “FREE” is a proven motivating word in sales, I never looked at the fact that FREE is one of the great motivating factors behind the innovation of the Internet.

Now, FREE is one of those words that sets off the SPAM filters. The word is WAY over-used at this point and has become one of those words that sets off the skeptic in all of us…and yet:

FREE “giveaway” promotions are the latest and greatest in getting people to subscribe to your list. People sign up by the hundreds or thousands.

FREE information, free entertainment, free phone calls across the world, free software, free graphics, free hosting, free consultations, free samples…Just about everything that exists is given away FREE these days.

FREE helps “newbies” get started in the learning process of creating and interacting on the internet. FREE helps “intermediates” grow and start to compete with the “experts”.

FREE helps the Mom & Pops compete with the Mega Corporations.

FREE helps the “experts” create their Maven status, warp speed their viral marketing and position themselves as generous “good guys”.

FREE lets us spend our money on other things like gas & food

FREE makes us crazy when we’re on the other end of the deal…trying to make money.

Never-the-less, below is a list of some “freebies” I’ve used myself and like or have had other GutZy Women tell me they like.

Are you letting the weight of the world drag you down?

A few weeks ago I was feeling crushed by the weight of the world, with all the natural disasters, the recession, violence against women around the world, the number of our young men and women being killed and traumatized by the war and on, and on…UGH! It was really getting to me and I let it affect the way I thought about my life, my family and my business.  My family, whom I love dearly, were getting on my nerves and taking up my time in a way that I was resentful. I wasn’t going into my office because I didn’t want to leave my house. My girlfriends, who were always asking me to do things with them, were now too busy with their own lives. Money and clients seemed to just disappear.  

“HMMM….WHAT IS GOING ON???”…This is NOT ME! I’m NOT like that normally and have had very few bouts of depression throughout my life, so I had to step back and wonder why I was often on the verge of tears.  My poor mentor had to put up with tears and nose blowing for a couple of hours at the local coffee shop one morning in front of all these people and I had NO INTENTION of even mentioning what had been going on in my head, but when he asked me how things were, my emotions took over and I couldn’t stop myself, for the life of me! 

It was embarrassing and yet obviously it was something I needed to get out of my system. I felt better immediately, listened to some very sage advice and continued to re-examine my perception of life, the happenings in the world and the direction of business.  Funny thing is I talked to more than a few friends and colleagues who were going through something similar, to different degrees.  

Now, I know this is a personal issue, so why I am writing about this here?

In this blog and on my GutZy Women Website, I’ve always tried to focus on delivering valuable information for YOUR benefit. The majority of the articles and videos I’ve published have been to educate, illuminate, inspire and motivate YOU to leverage the power of technology and Multi Media to expand your reach, whether for business, personal or benevolent purposes. 

But now I feel drawn to take it a step further and use my knowledge, skills and passion not just for business purposes, but to seek out those who are using a more holistic approach to how we can serve each other and the world and align myself and GutZy Women LLC with those who are proactively seeking positive solutions and taking action to impact positive change. 

So one “ah-ha” that came to mind through this process is that I wonder if what I’ve been publishing, teaching and offering is actually accomplishing that which I intended. Another question in my mind is that since the vision of GutZy Women is HUGE and has so many facets, is it time now to add another piece of the vision?

The first question can only be answered by YOU and I would LOVE your feedback. Call, write or comment below:

The second question, although open for discussion, must pretty much be decided by me and the universe. Come back tomorrow to see what I decided and how YOU can benefit!

LOVE

Deb Ducic

PS: The third question is…How is the state of the world affecting you? How are you handling it?
