A friend of mine is asking that exact question!
Kev McCauley has created this group on Facebook because he has $10000 he is willing to invest in a business.
It really got me thinking about what I would do with it. It didn’t take me long to figure it out, even though my first thought was a new car. But in reality, the one I’ve got will last me a few more weeks when I make my first five figures! Then I’ll pick out the car I really want!
I am a microentrepreneur who has been working very hard to build my business. I spent three years experimenting and trying to figure out what I want to do and how to do it.
Well, in December I found myself a business coach. Since then, my business has taken on a whole new direction.
I’ve developed my niche, which specifically is coaching and mentoring other entrepreneurs in ways to market and promote their businesses, products and services so that they become the top, go to expert in their niche.
What would I do with $10,000? Well, let me tell you that I have invested a LOT of money into my business building.
I’ve taken a few paid teleseminars, I’ve had my coaching (which fortunately was on a payment plan), I bought a brand new computer, laser printer, fax machine, desk, chair, phone system, and so much more!
All this came from our personal finances as a loan to the business. I would pay back the loan, which is right about the $5000 to $6000 mark and invest the rest into my business.
I have joined Brian Campbells SMMS program and the PRISM group. I so want to be in Brians program, and if by chance I don’t get picked (which my Secret thinking is telling me I WILL!) but if I don’t I would use some of the $10K to invest in Brians Gold program.
I want to invest into my business so that I can start paying it forward!
My husband is also starting an Internet business while working full time plus over time and the funds would come in handy to help finance that venture as well.
If you’d like to join Kev’s group and try for the $10k, feel free! Here’s the link again: http://www.facebook.com/inbox/#/group.php?gid=18548426965
The more the merrier!

I was talking to you in my last post about Brian Campbell. I hope you have had a chance to check out the SMMS at http://socialmediamarketingsystem.com.
Brian is offering a scholarship to his program which I truly deeply want to get in on. Each day, he lets the applicants, such as myself know what he wants to see from us to earn our way into his program with a scholarship.
I want to tell you today, what I would do in return for getting in on Brians program.
As I have unexpectedly become a coach and consultant, I now have clients that I am working with to help position them as the go to expert in their niche. While I am coaching them, I continue to work on becoming recognized and positioned in my own niche. For me to learn what Brian is teaching would only serve to increase my abilities to help my clients in their endeavors. I would have so much more to offer my clients, as the more I learn, the more I can not only share with them what I’ve learned, but actually show them how to do it, just as Brian shows his students.
To pay it forward, I’ll be offering free teleseminars, posting on my blog, working with my group members and showing them by example how to do what Brian is teaching me. I’ll share my wealth in the form of all sorts of free product offerings and even one on one consultations as that’s what a good coach does to help her clients. I have struggled to get my business going and I know how challenging it can be financially. My belief is that by offering services at rates that make it available to entrepreneurs of all budgets, more people will have a chance at success. So, whatever it takes, from free on up, I want to have something available to everyone.
Why would someone want to work with me?
My coach says I’m an ideal client, and I believe that makes me an ideal coach!
I’m personable, empathetic, passionate about what I do and I love to see others succeed.
I’m a helper by nature. I give more away than I make in return, which is fine by me if I witness success and gratitude.
I know from personal experience that it takes patience and hard work to make a business grow and succeed. I believe that experience makes it easier for me to guide others in the right direction.
I’m working with my husband now, teaching him everything I learned and know as he works to build his own business. All I keep hearing from him is that I should be teaching this stuff!
I’ve paid my way through building my business! I’ve invested in courses and coaching, teleseminars and eBooks. If I can give someone some of what I have invested in, saving them unnecessary expense, I’m happy to do just that.
Do me a favor, and if you think I deserve to be in Brian’s PRISM program, head on over to Facebook. If you are a member, look up Brian Campbell and send him a message telling him why he should pick me as one of his students. If you can, join his PRISM group and tell him there on the wall!
Let me know if you do and you will have my eternal gratitude! I’m not kidding. Remember the Law of Attraction and the Law of Gratitude? Whatever you think, you attract.
Thanks for your support!
I appreciate it!
