It’s our birthdays - but you’re getting the gift!

Posted by Tammy Munson

Good friend Shannon Cherry and I have a lot in common: being entrepreneurs, having two daughters and being a bit geeky. We also share the same week for our birthdays - which are only a day apart.  We both like a good party - and thought how can we celebrate with all our friends and colleagues when we’re thousands of miles apart?

Then we decided to use the Business & Learning webinar platform to host a birthday bash unlike any other - because we’re giving you the gifts!

That’s right. On January 23 at 9 PM (EST), join Shannon & I for a virtual cupcake, fun times, and some great door prizes.  We’re hosting a f^ree-for-all publicity chat, where you can ask Shannon and me anything about offline or online marketing. From websites and blogs to direct mail and mastering the media, Shannon and I will share all our insider secrets - for f^ree.

And if you’re a virtual assistant, you really need to be on this chat, as Shannon & I are giving away a special press release for you to use to market your business.

So put on your party hat, come with your burning marketing and publicity questions, and join us  for Shannon’s and Tammy’s Birthday Blowout! Simply log in at http://www.businessandlearning.com/expo on January 23 at 9 PM (EST).

To log into the conference room, enter your first and last name with the password:learning . It’s an audio conference room so make sure you have your mic and/or speakers plugged and turned on. It’s Mac and PC Friendly, so everyone can attend.

Hope to see you there!

Grow Your Business through Education

Posted by Wendy

As a home business owner, you are most likely always looking for that boost that can help you to take your business to the next level. Right? One of the best options to help you to take your business to the next level is education. Educating yourself about the current trends, newest media opportunities, latest improvements and the like is the best way to ensure that you too can take your business to that next level you so eagerly desire to see it go to.

The best place to learn is from the pros. Don’t you want to learn from someone who has proven that they know and understand what it takes to have a successful business? Well of course, so go straight to the pros when you are looking for educational information, seminars or classes.

Learning from someone else will help you to eliminate those time-wasters that others may have already discovered through their own trial and error and give you the key tools and opportunities that are truly worthwhile. You will know upfront what new methods or services you should seek to use and what you can leave off. Growing your business through education should be at the top of your list as a means by which to truly soar in your business.

This is what the expo is about!

See you there! http://www.thewahexpo.com
