A note from Patsi –
A heads up to all you entrepreneurs, small business owners and professionals. Here’s a fun way to get free online marketing help from Denise and me. We’ve just launched a contest to find our "Ideal Client.”
We will coach our Ideal Client live for 15-20 minutes, on our new Internet Radio Show, every Thursday morning starting January 11 at 11 a.m. ET, continuing through April 15. Our show “Blogging and Beyond” will be produced on VoiceAmerica™ Channel.
Even if you don’t win, you may be selected as a runner-up, and can participate in our 13 week mentoring group that runs parallel to the radio show. So you have nothing to lose by applying to the contest.
Our goal is to show our listeners how someone can have a real marketing presence and start leveraging the Internet using simple online tools, in a relatively short time.
Our “Ideal Client” must meet these criteria:
1. Experienced professional with a book, ebook, or services to sell
2. Intermediate computer skills and comfortable with using software
3. Intelligent, personable, hungry to learn, and passionate about business
4. A good sense of humor helps; overly chatty or shy people are discouraged
5. Discipline to show up every week and complete tasks between shows
6. Ready, willing and able to invest in the tools required to market online (after initial trial offers, 3rd party tools are estimated about $58/month).
Our contest winner will not only get mentoring on how to leverage the Internet for their business, but they will also get great exposure for their business, including their name, website and business mission or tag line on the radio, during 13 weeks.

Featured Article for December:
Human Relationships at Work: The Untapped Frontier
Categories: Communications, Emotional Intelligence, Managing
“Today we are faced with the pre-eminent fact that, if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships.”
—Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1945
Leaders and managers can study, train and be coached. But if they fail to work on their interpersonal skills, they will not succeed when given more complex responsibilities. The ability to relate to and connect with others helps confer influence and leadership success.
Until recently, there has been little focus on what goes on within the relationship between two people in an organization. Almost all professional development programs focus on the individual: what you can do to improve yourself. Thousands of people explore leadership and management skills each year with an emphasis on improving their personal abilities. Very few have participated in programs to develop interpersonal skills.
Obviously, pursuing personal growth is worthwhile. Now, however, experts suggest that executives who develop their interpersonal skills will finely hone their ability to lead and influence.
The best managers in the world are not only experts in systems, processes and technical competencies. They are also proficient at managing their employees, personal strengths and preferences. Thus, they increase employee engagement and productivity. Unfortunately, most people’s experience with bosses falls short of these goals.
