BIBJ Theme for March: Small Business Branding and Positioning
Susan @ 9:00 am

Welcome to March, the month that comes in like a lion!

For every month in 2010, I’m focusing on a theme that’s critical to small business success and talking about that theme in my e-zine, No Suits Allowed!, here in my blog, and with my experts in The Experts Series. In January, we talked about planning your year and your small business. In February we focused on finding meaning and purpose and gaining authenticity, and I interviewed Bob Burg, author of Endless Referrals and co-author of The Go-Giver and Go-Givers Sell More in The Experts Series (if you missed that call and want the recording, you can still download it for free here).

This month my attention will turn exclusively to Branding and Positioning. As such, you’ll see articles all month long on branding and positioning your small business, throughout this blog and my No Suits Allowed! e-zine.

I’m also interviewing Jack Trout, author of over thirteen bestsellers about branding, positioning, and marketing. He’s the author of several of my official small business reference books, including Differentiate or Die and The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, and I consider Jack to be the father of modern branding and positioning.

When I was interviewing Bob Burg and mentioned my upcoming interview with Jack Trout, Bob said,

“Jack Trout is one of the seminal masters when it comes to positioning, branding, marketing. This is a guy who is so big and has been for so long, for you to have gotten him to appear on your call says a ton about you. And I hope everybody listening will be on that call next month. This guy is a master and just please, make the time to listen to him.”

To sign up for that call, go to The Experts Series.

I’d like to also announce the launch of my updated six-week teleseminar class, 7-Figure Branding Secrets, where I’ll take you through the exact process that I use with my one-on-one clients to create memorable brands with serious moneymaking potential. I’ll include a Q&A during every single class so I can walk you through your own branding process. More details, including dates and specifics, to come later this week!

Stay tuned!

How to Sell More, Get More Clients for Your Small Biz? Build A Bigger List!
Susan @ 8:10 am

Want to know the number one way to get more clients? Simple. Have a large list!

When you have a large list, everything changes. When you communicate with your list on a regular basis, share tips and thoughts, you become an integral part of their lives. As you share with them, they see your expertise and feel your passion. So when they’re ready, they know that they need to contact you. When people on your list need your products and services, they immediately think of you! So how do you build a large list of people who want to hear from you?

Why not attend the World’s First ListBuilding TeleSummit for Coaches and find out what works best for some of the leading names in coaching, including me, Susan Baroncini-Moe, plus Andy O’Bryan, Adam Urbanski, MaryPat Kavanagh, and more?

It’s going on now, 2/8/10 thru 2/13/20, and my interview on why branding is critical to building your list is live today!

All you have to do is follow this link and you’ll get the interviews for f.r.e.e:

“The Experts Series” Update
Susan @ 6:46 pm

This afternoon I had a pleasant chat with none other than Jack Trout, the man, the legend. And I’m pretty sure I’m dreaming, because he agreed to do the interview for the series, and he’ll be featured in March.

I have to say that it is just weird to see e-mails in my inbox from these guys. I mean, I see their names on my bookshelf all day long — these are the guys whose books sit next to me for easy reference. So it’s fairly surreal to see my Inbox with an e-mail from Jay Conrad Levinson (telling me he’s a notoriously late sleeper, so please don’t call him too early) sitting next to an e-mail from my dad, asking if we’re coming by for Sunday dinner.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you a bit more about how this series is going to work. You can sign up to join in for a month, or you can sign up for all 11  months. I recommend that you participate in all of the months, because you’ll only get access to the calls you pay for. So, if you join in June, you won’t get access to any of the calls before June.

As a member of The Experts Series, you’ll also get access to a second call during that month, which will be a Q&A teleseminar call with me. We’ll operate the call a first-come, first-serve basis, and I’ll answer your business questions one by one and get to as many as I can during the call. It’s a great way to get access to my advice in a very affordable way.

So, make sure you sign up now for the Business in Blue Jeans: The Experts Series! There’s nothing else out there like this!

2010: My Year of Making It ALL Work!
Susan @ 5:06 pm

2010: The Year of Making It ALL Work!

Welcome to 2010, a brand new year and a brand new decade! In the last part of 2009, I made some plans for 2010, and I’d like to tell you more about what those plans are. The most important thing you should know is that I’ve made 2010 My Year of Making It ALL Work.

What does that mean? It means I’m taking it all down to the bare bones — everything in my life, from my business to my health and everything else, and I’m looking at everything, analyzing what works and throwing out what doesn’t. I’m focusing on getting back to basics and taking a good hard look at where Business in Blue Jeans is going and how we’re going to get there.

As such, I’ve planned out the entire year, with a theme for each month. I’ll focus on that theme in my No Suits Allowed! e-zine and in my Wednesday Wine & Business Chats Teleseminar Series, and bring in experts when needed so I can interview them and get the lowdown. I don’t want to show all my cards just yet, but so far, here’s how the first part of the year looks:

January: Getting Organized and Planning Ahead
February: Finding Your Purpose
March: Branding and Positioning

The first call in the Wednesday Wine & Business Chats will be in February and we’ll be rolling from there. I’m pulling in some big names for bonus calls, too, and you really won’t want to miss this.

I’ll be sharing my insights as I get down to the bare bones with my business. There are quite a few lessons I’ve learned in the past year that I want to share with you — things I’ve discovered about the folks I thought were my mentors and things I’ve discovered about myself. So stay tuned. Things are about to get lively and interesting around here. :)
