Business Matchmaker . . . Connector Queen
It has occurred to me of late, that I have actually earned the title of “The Business Matchmaker” and “Connector Queen.” Given the vast number of quality contacts I have collected and connected over the years; in the upcoming month of May, I am blessed to be able to introduce to you, should you be in the Northern Virginia, Washington DC or southern Maryland area, to two top business women and experts in their own fields.
There are many events locally available to attend. None in the area can boast these women’s expertise or”‘Wow!” factor. Not convinced? Google, if you will, Michelle Anton and Sandra Yancey.

May 19, 2010 Event
On May 19, in the Tysons Corner VA area, you can meet the incomparable Sandra Yancey and spend quality time in her presence.
Sandra Yancey, the founder of eWomenNetwork, has been working with women all over the country and is going to share, why 80% of women business owners miss the most important factor that determines their success or failure and how to correct this immediately. She has incredible, proven strategies that will transform the way you approach getting new customers and getting others to help you achieve your goals and objectives. Because she is coming to the event, we are attracting an extraordinary broad range of new contacts for you too. There are many women attending this event who need to know about you and what you have to offer. Your success is important to you and it’s important to us too.
At this event, you’ll hear:
The economy is not the story: your vision for your future is. Your future has evolved. Your skills, degrees and successful past, while useful, have been eclipsed by a new paradigm, and a new 2010 businesswoman has emerged.
The 2010 businesswoman is beyond smart—she is enlightened.
The competition is fierce, with more marketing and promotion clutter to wade through than ever before. How will you break through and stand out from others? The 2010 Women’s Success Imperative is vital to your business. During this 60-minute session with Sandra Yancey, you will learn:
- The four critical drivers that must be followed to succeed in 2010 and beyond;
- How to discover, embrace and sustain your brilliance, despite challenges that seem insurmountable;
- How best to engage others to support your goals and your vision for the future;
- The #1 factor that determines whether you will succeed or fail. (Over 80% of women don’t get this right; but after you learn this key factor, you will understand its power.)

I believe it’s imperative that 2010 be your breakout year! I know you agree. Join me and together we’ll make YOU the priority.
My Most Excellent Business Journey
I’d like to share some thoughts on the most excellent business adventure I just took. I just left a forum of people at the www.ceospace.net which is a fit “for those who believe there is a world in which people work to help one another, in which competition is replaced with cooperation, and in which ordinary people do the extraordinary.”
Having been introduced to the Founder, whose father was Walt Disney’s mentor, the experience felt like a playground of the mind for big business people. When I agreed to go, they immediately sent me a Forum Prep kit, some serious pre-work to prepare for the experience to come. I did every bit of it. I was afraid not to. I didn’t want to waste my time or the investment in the most prestigious country club of business people. I was dropped in the deep end of a very warm and welcoming pool of the top entrepreneurs, with a mix of actors, television personalities, motivational speakers, and top educators in their fields.
Meals were spent with these people hosting tables of ten, so you could choose who you’d like to learn from for 2 hours at a meal-time. They were there to offer free advice on every business topic imaginable. This led to private meetings with these people, and they were available in the lobby inside and out at a lovely resort on a lake in Las Vegas. (Loews on the Lake).
Once a member, you may return to any or every of their five forums held there each year (March, May, July, September and December). They even have a teen program which accepts students from 15-23 years old for below the actual cost to attend. Imagine the brain trusts sharing with these young minds.
There are many ten-minute videos online at the www.ceospace.net website. This is not for everyone. This is for serious success-minded business people looking to hyper grow their companies, looking to leverage their knowledge and learn from others, and then return the favor. “Learn, Earn and Return” is what is asked of you. I only hope someday to be able to finish “the rest of the story.”
