April's schedule

This month I will be having one seminar so far. The seminar will be held at Cattaraugus Branch Buffalo New York Stake and I will be presenting to the Relief Society as well as the Young Women.

Relief Society is "Female Church members ages 18 and older belong to the Relief Society. The Relief Society was founded by the Prophet Joseph Smith on March 17, 1842, in Nauvoo, Illinois. In the days of its founding, it had two main purposes: to provide relief for the poor and needy and to bring people to Christ. The organization continues today, staying true to those original guiding principles as women in the Relief Society meet together on Sunday and in other settings as needed."

Young Women's is "The purpose of the Young Women organization is to help each young woman, ages 12 to 18, "come unto Christ" (Moroni 10:32).

By following the Savior's example and teachings, she can:

• Solidify her testimony of Jesus Christ and the restored gospel.
• Fulfill her mortal mission.
• Return to live with her Heavenly Father."

How do you get business?

Most days that I am not giving seminars or working, I am calling businesses and offering them a free seminar. Angela Dayton, a very successful women business owner, suggested that I give 10-15 free seminars before I start charging people. I am fairly an unknown speak at this point, so Angela told me to be a known speaker I need to get out and show people what I'm made of---make a name for myself.

After giving my first seminar one of the other presenters that day asked me for my business information because she was interested in getting me to give a seminar at her place of business. She gave me her information also. This is what people call networking. After the seminar I called the other presenter and offered the same seminar to her company, which she was very pleased with. I sent her an outline so she could get it okayed with her company.

When any one requests information about this seminar I send out an email that outlines the basics of the seminar along with my background. When the women saw my back ground she invited me to come to her office and gave my resume to her boss. They asked me to fill out an application for an adjunct instructor. I filled out the application and there is probably going to be a position come open in April that I will take.

So the first seminar was very good for me for a number of different reasons; 1) I gave an excellent presentation and feel that I was able to empower a group of women that are vulnerable, 2) I was requested back in May to give a follow up seminar, 3) I networked and got another seminar day scheduled, 4) I may be working as an adjunct instructor at a good college where I maybe able to network more.

I am grateful for the wonderful guidance from Angela Dayton. I believe that I will be able to succeed due to her guidance as well as doing my part. My part? Calling, making appointments, following up, networking, and giving great seminars (always reflecting after each one).

4th and 5th seminar scheduled

I am so charged up for my 4th and 5th seminar. My fourth seminar is going to be at the Bell center that seminar will be on self-defense/bullying. The seminar will be presented to youth 12-14 years old.

My 5th seminar is going to be in March. International Women's Day is March 8, which is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women. I will be giving my seminar on women's self defense at Bryant & Stratton College later that month.

Third Seminar

I have scheduled my third seminar, February 19. This one I will be team teaching with Susan Dayton. The topic of this seminar will be The Importance of a Team. It will be a very interactive and fun seminar.

2nd Seminar scheduled

I got another seminar booked for May 16th. This is my 2nd. I have a couple more organizations going to call and set something up with me soon. I just sent some information out to them via email.

I am getting excited to see how many places see a need to educate their clients/employees on the topic womens self defense.
