How to get more party bookings

We've been asked once or Twice: "What is the best way to get Party Bookings"

Well, there is no short answer to that; however, I'd like to give you a quick tip that can get you Out THERE more!
Go out and get to a Networking Meeting. Find out if there is a "ladies luncheon" this week, perhaps through your local chamber of commerce. Get yourself a ticket and make the "intention" of meeting someone who YOU connect with!

Charlotte and I both love doing this! We love to meet new people! We both make it a point that if we Connect with someone, we go out for lunch....meet for coffee. Develop a Friendship with someone NEW!

The point here is not to "Bug them about your business"; in fact, I recommend that you don't even bring up your business....."they will ASK YOU!" At that point, tell them what you do....what YOU Love.

Again, and this is important.....do NOT tell them about your business! Just enjoy your lunch or coffee!!!

Trust me, I've had more business over the years just getting to know people in this way. Your new friend may or may not have a show with you, however they will feel more comfortable knowing that you are truly trying to make a personal connection and not a sales pitch!

What will happen is this:

* The next time you have an open house...your new friend will be more than happy to show up.
* When someone in your "new friends" circle of influence has a need...your new friend will "highly recommend" YOU as the great and wonderful person you are!

I've made so many wonderful connections and friendships (and yup extra money too) just by connecting at least once a week with someone new!

Good luck!

& Let us know how this works for YOU!

I found this fascinating quote today:

Attraction Marketing has always been practiced through out the centuries, it’s not a new idea it just has a newer name. I’m not sure if anyone assigned a name to the practice before. Most people in sales have heard of attraction marketing and some even know what it is.designedfordivinedestinations.com, Designed for Divine Destinations, Jan 2010

You should read the whole article.

Are you doing what You Love?

January is always a "reset" time for many people....the beginning of a new year....& sometimes those long winter days that keep us inside also allow us time to reflect.

That's what this post is about: "Reflection".

Taking a moment and really thinking about the moment...this moment!

I was reading a wonderful blog by a single mom and she reminded me about sitting down and writing out what we "Value" in life.

It's also true about what we value in our Business! & I really feel that the most successful people in any Home Business are the ones who have sat down...and really thought about what they Value, and using those values to follow in a business that is suited for them.

Something they really LOVE to do....you know you are on the right track...when:

1) You can't wait up to get up in the morning to start doing your work...the thing you love.
2) Ideas pop into your head at random times throughout the day (make sure you keep a pad of paper handy to jot these down btw)
3) People around you will make comments like "wow, I can tell you are really passionate about this".
4) You randomly smile when you are working...just for no reason...just cuz!


If you haven't experienced some of these things...then I encourage you to sit down...write out a value list...and make sure that you are truly doing something that is in line with your own values.

Make it a great and wonderful day....all comments are welcome!
