What’s missing in your business…
Your Sexy Soul
My WHAT? Yes…your SEXY SOUL! This is your sweet spot, your special sauce… and it’s crucial to building a successful business.
It’s important because your business requires that YOU be front & center. You’re
not running a factory that spits out widgets. People buy BECAUSE OF YOU.
So doesn’t it make sense to highlight your biggest asset – the complete, shiny,
glorious you?
Approximately 95% of women entrepreneurs NEVER HIT SIX FIGURES and THAT STINKS. It’s partly because they don’t
cultivate the hot soulful part of themselves. The brilliance of being a woman entrepreneur is that you can USE the male
business-as-usual approaches, but then you ABSOLUTELY MUST unleash your intuitive and feminine faculties to give your
business its mojo. If you don’t, you’re more likely to fail.
To my point, consider someone we all knew and loved who was wildly successful and powerful, but also sexy and zany:
Lucille Ball.
Ball was much more than a popular TV star. True, she had one of Hollywood’s longest careers and was nominated for thirteen
Emmys and won four. But she was also the first woman to start and run a major television studio AND when she got pregnant
(at age 40!), she battled CBS studios to be seen on TV while pregnant. Now, not only did she win, she then worked her real
pregnancy into the plotline of the TV show.
Talk about a woman with guts, and what I call a SEXY SOUL.
She rocked!
In case you think she was a pushy broad, do you remember how GORGEOUS she was? She was always dressed the 9’s – didn’t
you love looking at her? AND she was nutty & hilarious, right?
So…she was an unstoppable businesswoman, an uber-talented comedienne, and a hottie to boot.
She was NOT AFRAID TO SHOW UP IN HER BUSINESS…so why are YOU?
You weren’t always overtired, overwhelmed, and overbooked, and you weren’t always called “Mrs. So-and-So” or “Mommy.”
BRING YOUR SEXY SOUL BACK into your business and your bottom line will thank you!
Contact me for a free consult to learn how unleashing YOUR sexy soul will lead to more money and freedom in your business.

Create an Exciting Brand Experience To Grow Your Dough
Small businesses have a special advantage - we get our clients to experience
something in a way that big brands often can’t. To create winning experiences
you have to see things from both sides of the table. In my business, half of my
clients are local and the others are across state and country borders. To deliver
a winning experience I must use great communication coupled with creativity.
Here are 3 ways to consider:
1) Break the rules. My typical office hours are Monday - Friday, 10am-6pm, but if one of my clients has a deadline or special
needs, I do all I can to accommodate them. It definitely stands out for them.
2) Create Something Special. It may seem challenging to create something special and unique for each and every client when
you’re not in a design-centered or art-centered business but looking from the other side of the table can be easy. Try these:
a) Send a special, customized greeting card (you can do this at hallmark.com)
b) Record a special video welcoming them to the client community
c) Find out a few of your client’s favorite things and surprise them
3) Fight For Consistency. Successful experiences are the result of us relying on the process over and over and over again.
Whether it’s the spa, the doctor’s office or a meeting with our clients, the consistency brands their mind with a winning
experience that lasts.
Exciting brand experiences build loyalty for years to come. Take a look at your current client processes and see what you can
edit and adjust to make sure you’re delivering a winning experience at every encounter.

Have you heard all the buzz about crowdfunding and wondered if it could work
for your business?
It can!
Many people see crowdfunding as a way to raise capital for business, which it is,
but its greatest power is the tremendous marketing buzz it creates for you, your
brand and your business.
When I launched a campaign to fund the Mom Gets a Business Conference in
2012 all I thought I was doing was raising the money I needed to launch the
conference. However, the benefits I received from doing the campaign above and beyond the money I raised blew me away!
In two short weeks thousands of dollars flew in the door, which was fantastic. Even more amazing was the sponsors that lined
up as a result of the energy and social proof the campaign created, the number of attendees and clients that found us because
of the campaign and the media attention it attracted. We went from having a first year conference no one knew about to having
an event EVERYONE was talking about in just a few weeks.
Crowdfunding levels the playing field for every entrepreneur and inventor that has a big dream but lacks the funding to make it
a reality. It also has the power to give your business and your brand the kind of attention that normally only happens when you
invest thousands and thousands of dollars with Marketing and PR firms.
You are the only person who can bring your gifts and your dreams into the world. If money (or marketing) is standing in the way
of that happening Crowdfunding is the answer you’ve been waiting for!
If you’d like to learn more about how Crowdfunding works and more importantly, how to make it work for YOUR business, visit
www.crowdfundwithease.com or email me at [email protected].
Patty Lennon is a B.I.G. Plus mentor coach and founder of the Mom Gets A Business Conference. A former VP at a global bank
and business coach, she quickly unlocked the formula to successful crowdfunding and is passionate about sharing this valuable
business growth and marketing strategy with entrepreneurs everywhere! Learn more at CrowdfundWithEase.com

STEPHANIEDALFONZO
STEPHANIEDALFONZO,YOURPOWERBREAKTHROUGH
Stephanie Dalfonzo, a Master Intuitive Coach, has been helping people move past
obstacles in their lives for more than a decade. With her unique talent of intuition,
Stephanie is able to quickly get to the root of a client’s problem often within
minutes, and much to their surprise. By combining her techniques and modalities
with her intuition, Stephanie is able to pinpoint the technique that works best for
each person and help them move from obstacle to success quickly. Many clients
say that they’ve spent years in therapy with few results.
Shortly after 9/11, Stephanie’s husband was diagnosed with a serious illness.
Stephanie had left her job as a radio DJ and poured her focus into becoming her husband’s caretaker, providing emotional sup-
port and positive encouragement to see him through the next two years, all while raising two young children. After her hus-
band’s successful recovery, Stephanie was free to return to work, but as enjoyable as her radio job was, her husband’s health
crisis made her realize her true calling—the ability to help people overcome personal struggles to enjoy success.
After training in hypnosis therapy and several other techniques, Stephanie started a successful and fulfilling practice help-
ing people. Over the past decade of transforming people’s lives by assisting them in overcoming lifelong struggles, Stephanie
found a niche in working with extraordinary women entrepreneurs to achieve extraordinary breakthroughs. Within two months
of working with Stephanie, one client experienced incredible results with eased anxiety and was able to channel her newfound
focus into rapid growth of an additional $20,000 in business.
While most career coaches focus on instilling business acumen or marketing techniques, their clients cannot achieve success
unless they deal with their personal obstacles and mental blocks. As a Master Intuitive Coach, Stephanie identifies the core of
what’s holding them back to quickly move clients through past behaviors such as self-sabotage, self-doubt, anxiety and fear to
extraordinary successes, both personally and professionally.
Stephanie lives in Connecticut with her husband of 29 years, Michael. They have two children: Crissi, age 24, lives in Maine and
Gregory, age 21, is an architecture major at Virginia Tech. Not quite “empty nesters,” Stephanie and Michael have a third “furry
child,” Maggie, a boxer mix.

What clients are saying:
“Thank you again for helping me focus in as to what finance position I should take. The opportunity is everything I wanted.”
C.M. Montville, NJ

workforce. Judy targeted my search and improved my resume. I found an excellent sales job quickly.” S.S. Milburn, NJ

fulfilled and happy!” C.S.S. New Providence, NJ

If you think marriage, raising kids and managing a career or business is hard
work, just imagine if it’s your second marriage. Now, in addition to raising your
own children, you may be helping to raise someone else’s, all while growing your
business or furthering your career. Throw in an aging parent or two, maybe a cat
and a dog, and now you have today’s modern blended family.
Felicia is a former practicing attorney with over 20 years of legal experience
and is currently a Certified Financial Planner ™ professional who has chosen to
focus on helping blended families tackle their unique financial needs. As a result
of her own personal experience, she understands the dynamic of couples who are planning or have already remarried. In the
excitement of their “I Do Over,” and with the stress of merging their lives and those of their children, couples frequently fail to
consider the ongoing financial and legacy planning needs that can result from a second marriage.
By crafting a financial roadmap that incorporates the dreams and aspirations of the new family, executing appropriate financial
strategies, and providing ongoing education and communication, Felicia works with her clients to alleviate a lot of the stress
and anxiety that naturally follow when two families merge. She is strongly devoted to helping women small business owners
achieve the professional and personal financial success they desire. When women can worry less about their financial health,
they are free to spend more time building new family memories.
Felicia is currently Board Secretary to CASA of Morris & Sussex Counties. She is also a volunteer with Junior Achievement of

I am the Founder & CEO of Physical Photos, formerly known as Images
Everything, Inc. My specialty is creative design and image to product
placement. I am honored to have the ability to take my creative energy and
use it for something so meaningful and memorable. I am proud to take each
image received and create products that bring people joy, connections and even peace. I care about the images I receive
because I believe every image has important meaning behind it. It’s my mission to capture these valuable images and
manufacture each product with care.
Before I became an entrepreneur, I had experience in administrative, purchasing, sales, catering and management.
Then I became a mom in 1999. When my third child was about 12 months old, I started to get the itch to do more.
This led me to establishing my business in May of 2008. I have been in the Dye Sublimation Industry, Direct Sales and
designing custom photo gifts for over 7 years now and I love it!
In September of 2012, I became a leader for B.I.G. (Believe, Inspire, Grow). in Plymouth, MA. Joining B.I.G. has catapulted
me in becoming a better business woman. Since I joined B.I.G, I have had the opportunity to discover many other women
entrepreneurs that are working just as hard and with just as much passion as myself. It does take a significant amount of
energy and hard work to be an entrepreneur and balance family. And I believe we all deserve to be recognized and have our
voices be heard.
So, in June of 2013, I created a women’s talk show on 95.9 WATD FM out of Marshfield, MA called PWR. Powerful. Women.
Revealed. I help facilitate connecting local powerful women to my community by revealing their stories in an intimate way.
Together, we are inspiring women of all ages to become entrepreneurs themselves. We all have a story to share and
I provide a unique platform that is fun, inspirational and educational, but also full of content within each episode.
This new found passion has brought me closer to my own authenticity, thanks to B.I.G!

THEDABLACKWOOD,SARABLAINEJEWELRYFORWILLOWHOUSE
Theda Blackwood is National Vice President of Sara Blaine Jewelry for Willow
House specializing in providing value and style with designer jewelry at
affordable prices. Theda is also a resource to help busy women create a
unique style based on their profession, lifestyle and image. A leader in the
direct sales industry for 13 years and a certified interior designer, Theda can
bring out the confidence in a woman in what she wears and how she feels.
Sara Blaine is an American jewelry designer from Atlanta, GA whose luxury
retail designs have only been found in specialty jewelry stores until now.
In 2011, Sara partnered with direct sales industry leader, Willow House, to create an exclusive affordable line of luxury
jewelry. You’ll marvel at the detail, the cut of the stones and you will be simply amazed that you can own “real” jewelry
for a fraction of the cost of retail stores. You’ll get valuable keepsakes to pass down for generations rather than costume
jewelry that will last only a season. When you wear Sara’s designs, you’ll feel special, confident and successful!
You’ll be the woman that everyone notices when you walk into the room!
Theda has been recognized for her outstanding consistency and performance in helping women across America either
start their own boutique business from home, or share Sara’s beautiful designs.
My vision is to help create confident women through either supporting them build a business of their own, sharing
Sara Blaine with friends or simply purchasing and wearing Sara’s designs. I look forward to the opportunity.

Frances Codd Slusarz has more than 10 years’ experience counseling business owners and curing their legal headaches. She founded The Slusarz Law School in April 2012, after realizing that she could make as much money – or more – on her own than she was making at a national law firm, see her kids more, and lose the BIGLAW politics. A graduate of New York University School of Law and Hunter College, she is licensed to practice in Connecticut and New York. She has three daughters: Ciara -18, Maura – 16, and Katherine – 9. Ciara leaves for Navy boot camp on Nov. 19, and then she’ll be trained as a nuclear engineer. How cool is that? Fran has a special gift for everyone who gives her an “attagirl” or “there, there” over her daughter’s achievement.

Women deserve to dress beautifully and authentically and wear clothes that make them look vibrant and feel courageous. My passion is for women to dress gorgeously in a style all their own and it totally informs my work as a personal stylist.
I’m certified by The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, I’m a leader in my industry and I’ve helped hundreds of women transform themselves. After we meet, you’ll see your beauty, know how to shop your best stores, you’ll rediscover items from your closet that will transform your look and you’ll have pictures of new outfits to wear for future.
Who should call me? Women returning to work or pursuing a promotion. A mother who had a baby and can’t find clothes that fit. Anyone getting a headshot. Those with too many clothes in the closet and nothing to wear and those who have nothing to wear and haven’t shopped in years. If your closet stresses you out in the morning and doesn’t yield stylish, confidence-building outfits, you should call me.
AnneMarie’s Recommendation:
My image consultation with Kerry was amazing. Not only is she highly professional, she made our afternoon fun and educational.
I now feel empowered to make clothing choices that help me look and feel my best in any social or professional situation. Totally
worth the time and investment!

Are you completely overwhelmed by the stresses of day-to-day life as a business owner? Do you
wish you could call someone you trust to take care of that spreadsheet you don’t have time for or
that marketing and research project that you dread putting together? Wouldn’t you feel so relaxed
to be able to make one phone call to a trustworthy person and have everything handled for you
correctly and professionally? Being in business should be a pleasure, not a pain. All of those little
things that are getting in your way are important and they deserve personal attention that you just
literally can’t afford to give them.
As a virtual assistant, I’ll nurture your business as if it were my own. Over the past several years, I have developed a strong
background working for large international corporations as well as office managing a law firm. Further, I have extensive experi-
ence assisting top-level corporate executives in various areas, including financial analysis, office management, and meeting and
appointment coordination. My goal is to assist you with all your business and personal administrative needs from any state
in the U.S. to make your life more successful. I am proficient with the Microsoft Office Suite and offer flexible pricing options;
