Make Money as a Mystery

If you love to shop, working as a mystery
shopper can allow you to have fun and make
money at the same time! Mystery shopping
opportunities are limitless, and you can

a year. You can even do mystery shopping
while you travel! Learn how you can become
a mystery shopper, what is involved in the
job, and how to find an endless supply
of assignments. Topics include how to
successfully complete reports, track your
assignments and payments and the best

The Truth about Working for
Yourself
Get Ready to Be More Successful
The real keys to succeeding when you are
self-employed may not be what you think
they are! This practical, information-packed
class goes beyond a simple pep talk or
description of legal and tax reporting
requirements to target what really matters.
We’ll draw on brain science to identify
what enables you to stay focused and
productive as well as what draws clients
to your products or services. We’ll tackle
the common problems of inconsistent
work flow, under-earning, marketing
aversion, perfectionism, and worker-bee
syndrome and find out how to handle your
finances more effectively. You will leave
with strategies you can put to use right
away to jumpstart your business.

Big Business Branding for
Small Businesses
Strategies for Making Your Mark
Your brand tells customers or clients who
you are, how you’re unique and why they
should choose you. Big businesses invest
heavily in brand development, but small
businesses often see the brand as solely
cosmetic. This is your opportunity to learn
true brand fundamentals and apply proven
brand strategy secrets to your business.
Learn how to think about and build your
brand as a strategic platform, not just a
logo; how to position your company in the
market and in relation to competitors; and
how to differentiate yourself and create
emotional connection. With over 25 years
as a professional communicator, brand-
builder and organizational storyteller,
