January Meeting
January 10, 2009
Marc LeBlanc:
"Growing Your Business- The formula for Small Business Success"
Find out what you need to know and what you need to do, when it's up to YOU to make it all work. Join us for this special program with Mark LeBlanc, the Immediate Past President of the National Speakers Association.
Mark joined NSA in 1983, at the ripe old age of 22, and is now considered a seasoned veteran by many, and one of the few people that NSA professionals and legends turn to, for business advice and counsel.
He runs Small Business Success, and is the Author of the little book, Growing Your Business! And the soon-to-be, released book, Growing Your Business When YOU Are the Business, later this year.
LeBlanc will share keen insights, observations, and sound strategies that will make or break your speaking career. If you thought you had it all together, and your calendar isn't where you want it to be this is your must-attend meeting.
You will discover:
- How to put more money in your pocket,
- How to position yourself for higher fees,
- How to create a marketing plan that gets you booked, and
- How to set up a system for staying focused on a daily basis.
Judy Jernudd will then interview Mark for 25 minutes after Marck LeBlanc
