This week I welcome to Your Partner In Success Radio Alicia Rittenhouse - Tech Cheerleader, Digital Diva and Empress of Online Empires.  Don't you love that description?? As a Tech Cheerleader for Virtual Assistants, Ali has a talent for breaking down technology into simple steps even non-geeks can master.   Meet Ali Not many women would be proud to kick off their professional bio with the following statement: “I’m a high-school + college drop-out who had a daughter at 19, got fired from her job, divorced at 25, and moved home with her mama.” But I am. Proud, that is. Because despite my rough edges and rocky detours, I’ve created everything I ever wanted—a virtual business that can plug into any port, a near-six-figure income with room to keep rising, and the chance to help women in every country get turned on by technology, and transform their lives.

Sean Moffett of The Moffett Company says "business IS personal" and I absolutely agree with him. [Source: The Moffett Company.com] After the financial crash we witnessed in 2008 the landscape we do business in has changed. Back then we used language like customer satisfaction and exceeding expectations. Today, we see our clients now know their dollars are far more precious than ever before. That's the new economy. As a result, our clients are no longer looking to be satisfied - they need to be electrified! We need to do more than just exceed their expectations, our clients are looking for authentic care - a true reciprocal relationship. They will invest in us as we invest in the them. While it's true that excellence in your field is critical, it is also true that the process by which your clients receive your goods and services is becoming equally important. So in effect, our ability to deliver our expertise is directly linked to our ability to control the experience for our clients. Drop the ball s

Nancy Marmolejo cut her teeth in business running the snack bar at her Dad’s flea market in the era of feathered hair, tube tops, and Aqua Net. It was the greatest place on earth to learn branding, guerilla marketing, daring publicity, and customer service. She credits her late father for being the best business mentor a girl could ever have. Years later, she became an inner-city teacher where she fine-tuned her abilities to see the potential in everyone she met. In 2003, Nancy launched her own business and quickly made her mark as a creative strategist, early adopter and innovative thinker.

When Theodore was last on the program we ran out of time and did not get to talk about his book, The Wisdom Compass. There is no shortage of self-help books or programs that promise to make you more successful. But what if the key to a wise and successful life was actually written thousands of years ago? Inside the Book of Proverbs, Theodore discovered secrets he used to become a successful entrepreneur, powerful businessman and passionate mentor.

Author, speaker, internet consultant and blogger.  Rosalind Gardner returns to Your Partner In Success Radio to chat with me about being a successful, and HAPPY entrepreneur.   Contrary to popular belief, creating a sustainable business on the internet is not particurlarly complicated or even all that difficult. It does require passion, perserverance and a plan. Rosalind begin her internet odyssey in 1997 and was so passionate about and interested in building the life that she desired by building an internet business that she was able to leave her job as an air traffic controller in 2000. Keep in mind that though this was just over a decade and a half ago, that *gasp* WordPress did not exist, nor did social media. The internet was pretty basic and raw at the time but she was still able to connect with thousands of people from around the planet through her gardening and seed exchange web site. There was no such thing as downloadable e-books or guides and you couldn’t watch training videos b

This week I welcome back to Your Partner In Success Radio Author and Speaker Bob Burg. Although for years he was best known for his book Endless Referrals, over the past few years it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann) that has captured the imagination of his readers. It shot to #6 on The Wall Street Journal’s Business Bestsellers list just three weeks after its release and reached #9 on BusinessWeek. It’s been translated into 21 languages. It is his fourth book to sell over 200,000 copies. Shifting your focus from “getting to giving” is not only a nice way to live life…but a very financially profitable way, as well. When Bob Burg, coauthor (with John David Mann) of the international bestseller, The Go-Giver, speaks about “giving,” he’s talking in terms of “constantly and consistently adding value to the lives of others.” When you can take your focus off yourself and shift it onto how you can be an asset of value to other people, you’ll plant seeds of goodwill — of great wil

Let’s face it. People are not as successful as they want to be, as rich as they think they could and should be, or even as happy as they want to be. And that is the truth. And when you couple these very normal and natural thoughts with persistent economical / political low-level dread, there is some real room for mental and emotional improvement just to survive the evening news! Larry Winget is known as “The Pitbull of Personal Development” and is a 5 time New York Times / Wall Street Journal bestselling author and somebody you see on TV a lot. Larry is a regular contributor on Cavuto, Fox News, and other news networks.  Larry has partnered with national bestselling author Bob Burg (The Go Giver),  Chief Fascination Officer of Fascinate, Inc., Sally Hogshead and leadership development speaker & consultant Mark Sanborn to create A Year of Success. Together they have reached over 1,000,000 people with their messages, all over the globe. And  A Year of Success is the combination of all of the best work they

  Lisa Manyon is an award-winning, #1 bestselling author, copywriting strategist and master of powerfully communicating marketing messages to increase results. A leading expert in copywriting, Lisa successfully challenges the notion that “copy is king,” with her message that copy is actually QUEEN, strategy is KING, and together they are the key to creating strong and effective results. She is the creator of the new marketing model for success that’s changing the way people market today. Lisa tuned into tactics that consumers, especially women, were turned off by. She recognized that standard marketing techniques, especially in the copywriting arena, are antiquated and not as effective as they once were including; hyped-up claims, overly “sales-y” spiels, hard-sell tactics, broad-based messages, scare tactics, stretching the truth, false claims of scarcity, over-dramatizing pain and problems and more, Lisa shares a better way. She’s found that the traditional copywriting formula of “Problem. Agitate. Solve.”
