What is the UniverSoul Circus About?

What is the UniverSoul Circus about?

That’s what I was wondering, “What is the UniverSoul Circus about?” Well, I recently had a wonderful opportunity to see the show here in San Diego, CA. I went with a friend and my 17-year-old son. We really enjoyed this show! What an AMAZINGLY great time we all had!

My son is the typical teenage boy when it comes to talking with his mom now and he’s definitely not one that shows much excitement about anything around me but, I could see his movements of enjoying the music and just some of the awesome performances. He loves Asian culture. I could tell that he was really into those performances.

This was UniverSoul Circus’s 1st time coming to San Diego and they’ve been doing this for 19 years now! I am really hoping they come back next year for their 20th anniversary celebration. Those of us that had a chance to see them this time will surely tell more people now that we have experienced it. There’s no way people should miss it in the future.

The funny thing is, I have never really liked circuses. I took my children a few times when they were little but, only because I felt like I needed to do it for them. Once they seemed as though they didn’t have an interest, we stopped going. Had it not been for my friend Makena Hayes-Gargonnu being hand-picked to promote the event here, I would not have known about it, cause it surely didn’t get any press that I saw. Since it was truly a “Soulful” circus, it was so very entertaining!

What do I mean by Soulful? There was a bit of gospel music played with the intention of touching the souls of the audience. There was a team of youngsters with smiley face T-shirts “ : ) “ that danced around to lift everyone up and make them happy. The beautiful colors and costumes of the performers showed a representation of various cultures. As an African-American, this was a unique and beautiful experience to see so many people of color in a “circus”!

I didn’t film the magic but it surely was mind-blowing to see the ladies turned into a tiger right before our eyes! The video I created hopefully will encourage others to check this unique show out. So if you’re reading this, find out when UniverSoul Circus is coming your way and enjoy it! Share the video with some friends and tell them to not miss it with you!

How to Network Market

~

How to network market, you wonder? My personal
thought in 3 words…

  1. ACTION
  2. CONSISTENCY
  3. TENACITY

Let me take you back just a bit … OK, WAY back! Lol! Early in my childhood I realized I loved being able to provide something that people wanted or needed. It made me feel good to know I could be a positive contribution to society by helping others.

When I was about 8 years old, I found a bunch of nails in the street and thought, “These nails look to be in pretty good condition. Someone should be able to use them instead of just leaving them wasted here on the ground.” I went and knocked on a couple of doors trying to sell them for a nickel a piece (I didn’t realize how expensive that really was then – and now!). I remember this lady must have thought, “How cute.” She bought 5 from me and I was happy she wanted them and I made a quarter! Off to the penny candy store!

Fast forwarding to today, I started my video and internet business, 9to5Not Business Solutions in 2010 after being laid off from selling cars. When I did this, I had NO intention of getting involved with any “network marketing” businesses… EVER again. I was tired of getting involved in “those” businesses and not succeeding.

Now if I’m being honest, I can’t even say that the companies failed me. I lacked doing what I needed to do to succeed AND I was never vested as I should have been to begin with. Even though I thought I was but there always seemed to be a “back door” that I was able to quietly make my exit when I’d had enough.

Towards the end of 2012, a social media friend, Bernard Shelley, came to San Diego and wanted to say “Hello” in person. He had his friend, Steve, the owner of a private vacation membership club, to bring him out to meet me and this was a life changing moment. I didn’t see it coming at all. While we’re all having our meeting, I’m sharing what I do with my current business but, Bernard’s friend was persistent and very confident that I needed to be a part of this business. He really felt like I should “add this to my plate”.

The next day I received a text from the Steve requesting that I listen to the webinar being hosted by the awesome J.J. Conway. Once I listened, it did make sense and I was excited.

Now here’s what made a difference for me. Once J.J. saw MY services, he had a need for the things that I was doing. So BonVoyage Elite turned into a client as I became a member and Independent Business Owner (IBO)!

I eventually began hosting webinars for the company. All of this has put me front and center where I couldn’t slip out of that old familiar ‘back door’! I had to work this.

If you’re wondering how to network market in this ever growing network marketing world, find something you will enjoy and that forces you to TAKE ACTION.

Be CONSISTENT in promoting it. Even just taking small action steps daily until you build up to “your” comfort level in doing more.

Be TENACIOUS with it. Don’t give up. Those small steps you have taken were seeds planted. You must stick around to take care of what you’ve started. I can see this so much more clearly now.

I am very grateful for this opportunity and the people that saw something in me to put me on this path. I’m watching my business grow, moved into the international world, gaining more and more understanding for how powerful of a positive impact this is having on others, and the company believes in me. That’s a great reward.

I hope you’ll join me on one of my live webinars so you can hear about this amazing company!

Every Friday @ 7pm PST/8pm MST/9pm CST/10pm EST – [REGISTER]
Every Tuesday @ 10am PST/11am MST/12pm CST/1pm EST – [REGISTER]

If you decide to join me on the webinar, come back and tell me if it makes sense. If you need more information, please contact me either via my site here or call me: 619-609-7214

Thank you!

What Do YOU Do?

“Ms. Tracy Allen introduces the “What Do YOU Do?” show … again? The show about who, what, where, and why  amazing entrepreneurs do what they do.

Sometimes people ask you to do something and you get inspired to do it for them but, soon learn that it’s really for you. Have you experienced that?

I just learned about this amazing woman named Marie Forleo, who has been featured by Oprah as a thought leader for the next generation. Her focus is to help others to create a business and life you love. So I started following her video series.

Last week, she asked everyone to make a video about who we are, what we do, and why we do it. The above video is what I sent to Marie. Although she asked us to do it and send it to her, while I was making it, I realized that she is making my own visions come back to life. It’s almost like a vision board … when creating a video, we actually can become our own vision board. Does that make sense?

TO ANSWER: “Who is Tracy Allen?”…

I am Tracy Allen… “Ms. Tracy Allen” :) Founder/Owner of 9to5Not Business Solutions. I enjoy creating videos, networking, online marketing, traveling, and hula hooping!

In the video, I am sharing a passion that I have regarding hula-hooping becoming my next fun business. I’m ready to bring back old school “recess” … take a break from work, come outside and play with your friends, while moving your body to things we did as children. I want to be mobile with this fun.

Currently, 9to5Not Business Solutions manages social media, create videos, voiceovers, provide online marketing tools, and sell memberships to a private travel club called BonVoyage Elite.

MY HISTORY

When I look back at my life, I realize that since I was a little girl, I’ve enjoyed the idea of advertising and marketing from watching Darrin Stevens of Bewitched. Even though I saw that it was at times stressful coming up with unique and catchy slogans, it was very interesting to me. Even to this day, I enjoy some of the crazy commercials that I see!

In high school, I took visual communications and then in my senior year, I went to a second high school for half of the day for commercial art. I was good at drawing and was always very creative. So learning this stuff was all fun but, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to make a career out of doing things I enjoyed for entertainment as a career.

Having lived in Pittsburgh, PA, all of my life, I was ready to venture out and see the world. I thought being a flight attendant would be the way to go but, the jobs just didn’t come fast enough after graduating from Southeastern Academy in Kissimmee, FL, so I joined the navy and did some traveling that way!

My mom calls me the real life “Walter Mitty“, a show that came out before my time but, he dreamed of fantastic experiences and adventures in life. My mom feels that’s me… Not afraid to take on new challenges! Lol!

After being laid off from selling cars at the end of 2010, a friend recommended I get into the video business. I didn’t know what to do with that but, since I have a passion for entrepreneurship, I decided that I wanted to help other businesses have a video platform. We also ask people, “What do you do?” when you go networking so I figured that would be a good name for the show. Now don’t get it confused with the TV show, “What WOULD You Do?“. I didn’t start hearing about THAT show until mid 2011 or so.

Creating the show was fun. I’ve learned a lot and met a lot of great entrepreneurs throughout San Diego, CA. I also learned that in order to do all that I was doing, I needed a team and at that time I didn’t have one.

COMING SOON…

I have been saying that I want to restart the show in a webinar format but, procrastinated. Doing the show as a webinar is going to be much more fun and profitable for the businesses that we will showcase because the audience will be watching LIVE and able to purchase special deals that the business owners will offer.

Since having quite a few people asking when I will start the show again and getting request to feature certain people, I’m going to push for March time frame to get this going again. What do you think would be the best day and time to host the shows? Tell us.

That’s enough about me. What do YOU do? If you’re an entrepreneur and you’re interested in being on the show, fill out the “contact us” form and let’s hear about who you and what do you do?

9to5Not Business Solutions Introduces Our New Facebook Maintenance Program

INTRODUCING OUR FACEBOOK MAINTENANCE SERVICE

***DAILY POSTINGS FOR ONLY $99 PER MONTH!***

Why does your business need a Facebook Page?

Being able to stay in touch with customers and connecting to them in a personal way makes a positive difference in your business. Here are three more reasons to have a Facebook page:

  • 100% of top advertisers have established Facebook pages for their brands. They do that because social media accounts for over 18% of time spent online.
  • Now with Facebook’s new Graph Search being added soon (still in the BETA phase), Facebook will have what Google and Bing don’t:  Search answers from Friends, or “trusted” sources. If you understand the power in “referral” business, this is HUGE!
  • People aren’t logging onto websites everyday but, more than half of all users log on to Facebook every day, approximately 7.5 times per day on average. That means over 400 million people you could potentially reach with daily status message updates!

What’s the problem for most businesses?

Bottom line, if you’re a small business owner, you probably don’t have the time to find relevant content to post every day PLUS make sure you’re interactive with your fans.

What’s the Solution?

HIRE 9to5Not Business Solutions to take care of it!
Special price only $99 per month!

We are excited to announce our new program designed for the entrepreneur/small business owner that doesn’t have the time and/or desire to search for content to post every day – we will take care of your Facebook maintenance for you … EVERY DAY!

If you do not have someone consistently posting for you daily, give us a try. You will not be under any contract to continue with us. If you like us, please do continue!

Within 72 hours, you could be more stress free and spending time on making money for your business.

You will still be able to post content if you want as well and respond to what people are saying. The purpose of this is to get activity going on your page. The activity has a HUGE effect on your insights which has an effect on your visibility.

You want to give people something to talk about and “like” on your page.

Don’t be fooled… many people see GREAT content and don’t stop to “like” anything or leave a comment BUT, they are watching. If you’re not active enough, your page gets lost in the shuffle.

Top 7 Shocking Legal Gotchas That Can SHUT DOWN Your Online Business In a Single Day… And What to Do About It!

Wild Wild West Business

Attorney Chip Cooper’s: Top 7 Shocking Legal Gotchas That Can SHUT DOWN Your Online Business In a Single Day… And What to Do About It!

In this “sue happy” land we live in, I believe it is imperative to have “some” clue as to legal traps we can get ourselves into when it comes to our businesses.

I’m just now finding about this webinar but, I’ve heard some great things about Attorney Cooper and I’m looking forward to hearing what he has to say about doing business in this age of the Internet and avoiding negative legal ramifications.

The “Wild, Wild West” of the Internet is over. It was fun while it lasted. But make no mistake, the landscape of the Internet has fundamentally shifted. You might not even have noticed…Yet.

The thing is… violations of some of these new laws are almost like moving traffic violations.  You get a traffic ticket and pay a small fine.  Traffic tickets are serious, but you can survive a traffic ticket. It’s not going to shut down your lively hood. The important thing is… you can survive!

But some violations that are happening are so serious and shocking, they can SHUT DOWN YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS IN A SINGLE DAY!  No traffic tickets here.  Think major collisions. Big ones. Fatalities. You can’t survive these big Gotchas!

If you operate an online business, you absolutely, positively need to understand and avoid these shocking legal “Gotcha’s”!

Register NOW so that you can listen in and ask the important questions that you need answers to. Also, just in case you miss it, if you’re registered and IF they record this, you’ll get emailed a copy of the replay.

Saturday, February 2, 2013
Host: Chip Cooper
Time: 3:00 PM EST/2:00 PM CST/1:00 PM MST/12:00 PM PST

What Is The Easy Video Player Hype All About?

Video

The internet has been BUZZING! There is a new video system about to dominate. So, what is the Easy Video Player hype all about?

Video marketing had to evolve. It was inevitable.

It was becoming much too complicated. And if it isn’t too complicated for some people, it’s still definitely too time consuming.

You had to worry about the following:

  • Redoing videos over and over again to make sure you got everything right in one take or face the daunting task of loading your raw video into Camtasia or another editor to make everything perfect.
  • Making sure your videos were optimized for the web (So they looked good and didn’t take too long to start playing).
  • Having a different mobile version of your videos to show users of iPhone, iPad, Android and other mobile devices (More and more people are doing most of the web viewing from their smart phones and other mobile devices).
  • Basically using “duct-tape” to try and put all the pieces together with Camtasia, Screenflow, Jing, Handbrake while continually looking for the “perfect” solution to make it all easier or less time consuming.
  • Uploading large files to your own server, Youtube, Amazon S3 or other video hosting service.
  • Getting the proper code in place to display your videos with the hope that mobile devices would be able to see the mobile version of your video.

Well, someone has finally done something about it.

Josh Bartlett, the creator of the industries leading video player called Easy Video Player, has truly done something innovative in video marketing.

His Easy Video Player software had game-changing features two years ago that other video marketing solutions have just recently tried to introduce.

And on top of that, Josh could boast about the following:

  • Tens of thousands of satisfied customers.
  • The lowest refund rate in the industry for Clickbank (Only 2%).
  • More top marketers and 6 to 7 figure launches use Easy Video Player than anything else. (Mike Filsaime, Chris Farrel, Ryan Deiss, Jason Moffatt, Maria Andros, Justin Brooketo name a few).

Rather than throw in a few, new and “cool” features and re-launch his product simply for the money, he listened to his customers and did something else.

He took over two years and hundreds of thousands of his own dollars to create something that will change the way you market your business with videos.

You’ll now be able to record, edit, publish, market and track all your videos with one, easy-to-use solution.

Josh is releasing this all-in-one video marketing solution on January 15th, 2013 with a free video series leading up to the launch.

Watch the first video here.

He’s going to reveal the story about his journey and passion that led him to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars from his own pocket to create the ultimate video marketing solution.

And how you can now do the following:

  • Drag and drop your video into a desktop application (Mac and Pc Compatible) that will optimize and convert your video for the web, let you edit if needed, upload it and give you the code to copy and paste to your website.
  • Record your screen or face camera from within this application and even draw on the screen.
  • Never worry about whether users on mobile devices can see your videos (It creates and displays a mobile version of your videos for you).
  • Split test your videos to see which ones are shared the most, have the most engagement and which versions make the most money.

That’s just scratching the surface…

What all this ultimately means for you is that marketing your business with videos is going to be much, much easier.

And you’ll make a ton more money while having more time to do what you love.

Anyways…

Josh is also going to demonstrate the amazing power of his creation in this series.

So go see how video marketing has evolved.

Talk soon,

Tracy Allen

CREDIT, TAXES, AND GETTING ORGANIZED IN BUSINESS FOR 2013

Tracy Allen

Getting prepared for a great 2013!


(The calendar is not correct so don’t go by it! Lol!)

I always have good intentions to get the year off to a good start by getting organized and prepared to be the best me. This year is no different in terms of my intentions yet it is different in terms of my actions. There are steps we should take every year and the beginning of the year is a great benchmark.

We need to always be aware of what’s happening with our personal information. Every year we should do a background search on ourselves. It doesn’t have to be anything too heavy but, find out what’s on your credit report. Find out what ChexSystem says about you.

CREDIT REPORT
How frustrating is it to apply for a job and get denied employment because you have a bad credit report due to an error or fraudulent activity on YOUR account?

CHEXSYSTEM
How about going into a bank to open a new account and being told that you’re in the ChexSystem for writing bad checks? If you are not the culprit of these things, then you need to be aware. If you ARE the culprit and you “sorta” forgot about the bad checking account but, you want to clean it up… you need to be aware that there is a problem. You cannot fix something you are not in the “know” that it’s happening. Right?

TAXES
With there being so much negative talk about where our good ole’ USA is heading financially, we need to do our parts to be vigilant about our information and make sure we don’t miss out on ANY tax advantages we can receive.

HOME BASED BUSINESSES
This leads me to speak on the topic: Home Based Businesses. Did you know that if you have a home based business, you are privy to more tax advantages than a brick and mortar business? In a home based business, you get to write off your lifestyle. Since you’re working from home, you save money because you’re utilizing what you’ve been using and now you get to write off a portion of your utility bills.

There’s a reason to have a nice big flat screen television… you are giving presentations in your home using that TV for your business. [TAX ADVANTAGE]

How about your food? You are probably feeding the people who come to your home so now a portion of your groceries can be written off. [TAX ADVANTAGE]

ORGANIZING BUSINESS FINANCES
To help me get organized, this year I am implementing a system I just found out about called “The CashFlow Manager”. It is an online record keeping system which records, organizes and stores all of your business and personal tax records. The CashFlow Manager makes business tax record keeping easy, simple and fast.

The CashFlow Manager is also a mobile app that will allow you to easily keep up with the mileage that you’re using to do business. Over the years I’ve had businesses and did a terrible job at keeping up with my tax deductions. This lack of understanding and tenacity has cost me probably more than I can imagine. It’s time to take business serious (it’s been time) and actively make the right decisions regarding my finances.

So to summarize, there are three action steps we should all do in getting organized in business and our personal life:

Get your ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT – FREE
Get your CHEXSYSTEM REPORT – FREE
Get an account with CASHFLOW MANAGER – FREE 7 Day Trial – $9.95 per month

If you don’t already have a home based business, there are many to choose from. Find something that suites your needs or desires and work it! It can be fun. You will bless someone who needed what you have. You can make money and start getting the tax write-offs that will help you keep more of your money.

MyEcon is a great vehicle to do this as you can learn more about the “TRIPLE PLAY”…
• Creating positive cash flow with the income you already have – your lack of income is costing you money.
• Have a home based business

What is the UniverSoul Circus About?

What is the UniverSoul Circus about?

That’s what I was wondering, “What is the UniverSoul Circus about?” Well, I recently had a wonderful opportunity to see the show here in San Diego, CA. I went with a friend and my 17-year-old son. We really enjoyed this show! What an AMAZINGLY great time we all had!

My son is the typical teenage boy when it comes to talking with his mom now and he’s definitely not one that shows much excitement about anything around me but, I could see his movements of enjoying the music and just some of the awesome performances. He loves Asian culture. I could tell that he was really into those performances.

This was UniverSoul Circus’s 1st time coming to San Diego and they’ve been doing this for 19 years now! I am really hoping they come back next year for their 20th anniversary celebration. Those of us that had a chance to see them this time will surely tell more people now that we have experienced it. There’s no way people should miss it in the future.

The funny thing is, I have never really liked circuses. I took my children a few times when they were little but, only because I felt like I needed to do it for them. Once they seemed as though they didn’t have an interest, we stopped going. Had it not been for my friend Makena Hayes-Gargonnu being hand-picked to promote the event here, I would not have known about it, cause it surely didn’t get any press that I saw. Since it was truly a “Soulful” circus, it was so very entertaining!

What do I mean by Soulful? There was a bit of gospel music played with the intention of touching the souls of the audience. There was a team of youngsters with smiley face T-shirts “ : ) “ that danced around to lift everyone up and make them happy. The beautiful colors and costumes of the performers showed a representation of various cultures. As an African-American, this was a unique and beautiful experience to see so many people of color in a “circus”!

I didn’t film the magic but it surely was mind-blowing to see the ladies turned into a tiger right before our eyes! The video I created hopefully will encourage others to check this unique show out. So if you’re reading this, find out when UniverSoul Circus is coming your way and enjoy it! Share the video with some friends and tell them to not miss it with you!

How to Network Market

~

How to network market, you wonder? My personal
thought in 3 words…

  1. ACTION
  2. CONSISTENCY
  3. TENACITY

Let me take you back just a bit … OK, WAY back! Lol! Early in my childhood I realized I loved being able to provide something that people wanted or needed. It made me feel good to know I could be a positive contribution to society by helping others.

When I was about 8 years old, I found a bunch of nails in the street and thought, “These nails look to be in pretty good condition. Someone should be able to use them instead of just leaving them wasted here on the ground.” I went and knocked on a couple of doors trying to sell them for a nickel a piece (I didn’t realize how expensive that really was then – and now!). I remember this lady must have thought, “How cute.” She bought 5 from me and I was happy she wanted them and I made a quarter! Off to the penny candy store!

Fast forwarding to today, I started my video and internet business, 9to5Not Business Solutions in 2010 after being laid off from selling cars. When I did this, I had NO intention of getting involved with any “network marketing” businesses… EVER again. I was tired of getting involved in “those” businesses and not succeeding.

Now if I’m being honest, I can’t even say that the companies failed me. I lacked doing what I needed to do to succeed AND I was never vested as I should have been to begin with. Even though I thought I was but there always seemed to be a “back door” that I was able to quietly make my exit when I’d had enough.

Towards the end of 2012, a social media friend, Bernard Shelley, came to San Diego and wanted to say “Hello” in person. He had his friend, Steve, the owner of a private vacation membership club, to bring him out to meet me and this was a life changing moment. I didn’t see it coming at all. While we’re all having our meeting, I’m sharing what I do with my current business but, Bernard’s friend was persistent and very confident that I needed to be a part of this business. He really felt like I should “add this to my plate”.

The next day I received a text from the Steve requesting that I listen to the webinar being hosted by the awesome J.J. Conway. Once I listened, it did make sense and I was excited.

Now here’s what made a difference for me. Once J.J. saw MY services, he had a need for the things that I was doing. So BonVoyage Elite turned into a client as I became a member and Independent Business Owner (IBO)!

I eventually began hosting webinars for the company. All of this has put me front and center where I couldn’t slip out of that old familiar ‘back door’! I had to work this.

If you’re wondering how to network market in this ever growing network marketing world, find something you will enjoy and that forces you to TAKE ACTION.

Be CONSISTENT in promoting it. Even just taking small action steps daily until you build up to “your” comfort level in doing more.

Be TENACIOUS with it. Don’t give up. Those small steps you have taken were seeds planted. You must stick around to take care of what you’ve started. I can see this so much more clearly now.

I am very grateful for this opportunity and the people that saw something in me to put me on this path. I’m watching my business grow, moved into the international world, gaining more and more understanding for how powerful of a positive impact this is having on others, and the company believes in me. That’s a great reward.

I hope you’ll join me on one of my live webinars so you can hear about this amazing company!

Every Friday @ 7pm PST/8pm MST/9pm CST/10pm EST – [REGISTER]
Every Tuesday @ 10am PST/11am MST/12pm CST/1pm EST – [REGISTER]

If you decide to join me on the webinar, come back and tell me if it makes sense. If you need more information, please contact me either via my site here or call me: 619-609-7214

Thank you!

What Do YOU Do?

“Ms. Tracy Allen introduces the “What Do YOU Do?” show … again? The show about who, what, where, and why  amazing entrepreneurs do what they do.

Sometimes people ask you to do something and you get inspired to do it for them but, soon learn that it’s really for you. Have you experienced that?

I just learned about this amazing woman named Marie Forleo, who has been featured by Oprah as a thought leader for the next generation. Her focus is to help others to create a business and life you love. So I started following her video series.

Last week, she asked everyone to make a video about who we are, what we do, and why we do it. The above video is what I sent to Marie. Although she asked us to do it and send it to her, while I was making it, I realized that she is making my own visions come back to life. It’s almost like a vision board … when creating a video, we actually can become our own vision board. Does that make sense?

TO ANSWER: “Who is Tracy Allen?”…

I am Tracy Allen… “Ms. Tracy Allen” :) Founder/Owner of 9to5Not Business Solutions. I enjoy creating videos, networking, online marketing, traveling, and hula hooping!

In the video, I am sharing a passion that I have regarding hula-hooping becoming my next fun business. I’m ready to bring back old school “recess” … take a break from work, come outside and play with your friends, while moving your body to things we did as children. I want to be mobile with this fun.

Currently, 9to5Not Business Solutions manages social media, create videos, voiceovers, provide online marketing tools, and sell memberships to a private travel club called BonVoyage Elite.

MY HISTORY

When I look back at my life, I realize that since I was a little girl, I’ve enjoyed the idea of advertising and marketing from watching Darrin Stevens of Bewitched. Even though I saw that it was at times stressful coming up with unique and catchy slogans, it was very interesting to me. Even to this day, I enjoy some of the crazy commercials that I see!

In high school, I took visual communications and then in my senior year, I went to a second high school for half of the day for commercial art. I was good at drawing and was always very creative. So learning this stuff was all fun but, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to make a career out of doing things I enjoyed for entertainment as a career.

Having lived in Pittsburgh, PA, all of my life, I was ready to venture out and see the world. I thought being a flight attendant would be the way to go but, the jobs just didn’t come fast enough after graduating from Southeastern Academy in Kissimmee, FL, so I joined the navy and did some traveling that way!

My mom calls me the real life “Walter Mitty“, a show that came out before my time but, he dreamed of fantastic experiences and adventures in life. My mom feels that’s me… Not afraid to take on new challenges! Lol!

After being laid off from selling cars at the end of 2010, a friend recommended I get into the video business. I didn’t know what to do with that but, since I have a passion for entrepreneurship, I decided that I wanted to help other businesses have a video platform. We also ask people, “What do you do?” when you go networking so I figured that would be a good name for the show. Now don’t get it confused with the TV show, “What WOULD You Do?“. I didn’t start hearing about THAT show until mid 2011 or so.

Creating the show was fun. I’ve learned a lot and met a lot of great entrepreneurs throughout San Diego, CA. I also learned that in order to do all that I was doing, I needed a team and at that time I didn’t have one.

COMING SOON…

I have been saying that I want to restart the show in a webinar format but, procrastinated. Doing the show as a webinar is going to be much more fun and profitable for the businesses that we will showcase because the audience will be watching LIVE and able to purchase special deals that the business owners will offer.

Since having quite a few people asking when I will start the show again and getting request to feature certain people, I’m going to push for March time frame to get this going again. What do you think would be the best day and time to host the shows? Tell us.

That’s enough about me. What do YOU do? If you’re an entrepreneur and you’re interested in being on the show, fill out the “contact us” form and let’s hear about who you and what do you do?
