This is The Queen's LAST SALE EVER!
What do I mean?
Alicia M Forest, a.k.a. "The Multiple Streams Queen", is in the midst of some creative destruction at Client Abundance, and in doing so, she's having a major sale until June 29 in order to make 'space' for bigger and better things, including a brand-new website.
You see, her network of sites has grown out of control, so she figured it would be less work to simply demolish the entire thing and start over. This is truly a great example of "creative destruction" in order to grow.
Anyway, in the process, she'll be DISCONTINUING 9 products that will NOT be sold on the new website. (They're fine programs, but she said she just wants to focus on bigger fish.)
Topics include writing succcessful sales copy, hosting teleseminars, launching products, hiring an assistant, managing email lists, designing a niche, and more.
So Alicia's having a special CLOSE-OUT EVENT right now, which is only good through Sunday, June 29, 2008.
That means you only have a few days left to grab these products at 50% OFF -- before they disappear forever!
I already picked up a few products myself, and I highly advise you do so as well. You can see the quick list at http://tinyurl.com/4g78xp.

Do you practice what you preach?
In the errand and concierge industry we are always telling our customers to give up their to-do lists to us so that they can have more free time for themselves, but do we do the same?
When I was younger, I remember a conversation that my mom, sister, and I had. We were talking about how a person who smokes can't tell their child not to smoke, because they are not following their own advice. The child is not going to listen because they are thinking to themselves, "Why shouldn't I smoke? My dad (or mom) smokes. It's really OK to smoke."
The same thing is true with your clients. You can’t try to sell them on giving up their to-do list and enjoy life when you aren’t following that same advice. We all need time everyday to replenish our minds and bodies, even if it is a 20 minute nap, a nice, long bath, or 15 minutes to meditate.
Of course when you are first starting out there is not a lot of money to hire someone to be your right hand man to delegate everything to, but there are a few things you can do.
1. Hire a student to help around your office. Visit local colleges about offering an internship to some of their students. If you need help with your accounting, look for a student studying to be a CPA. Looking for help with your logo? Look to one of the graphic design students.
2. Barter or trade for your services. If you have a stay at home mom who is good at marketing and sales, offer free service to her in exchange for a brochure or sales kit. She gets her errands taken care of and you get some nice marketing materials.
3. Budget in for help. When you are putting together your start up budget, put together a staff budget for a part time VA or personal assistant. You can hire them by the hour or a package deal to handle some of the administrative tasks so you can spend your time networking and building relationships with potential clients.
Remember that there are leaders and followers. Lead by example.

Blog Squad Free Preview Call
The Blog Squad is giving you a chance to learn from their mistakes so you can make twice as much money in 2008, in half the time.
I've been learning a few tricks from them myself recently and I know they always over-deliver in their classes - even on their free calls.
You don't want to miss this free session on June 24: 5 Internet Marketing Traps That Can Derail Your Business
Presented by The Blog Squad, Patsi Krakoff and Denise Wakeman, in partnership with Kathleen Gage, the Street Smarts Marketer
Tuesday, June 24 @ 6 p.m. ET
FREE!
Of course, you know there's a reason for the freebie: it's a preview call to introduce you to a 4-week, in-depth mentoring program starting July 1, 2008.
The best way to find out if they have something worthwhile to teach you is to attend the free class and sample their stuff...
Sort of like a pink spoon sample of good things to come.
Even if the course doesn't work for you, the free call will provide plenty of valuable information you can't afford not to know.
