I love Mike’s candid - BLUNT! - style and down-to-basics approach to business.

Mike Michalowicz has a driving passion for entrepreneurialism. It is his belief that anyone who has the desire, even a fleeting ‘what if’, has been touched by an inspiration that must be satisfied. Michalowicz wrote The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur with the sole purpose of giving first time entrepreneurs the information they need to grow their concepts into industry leaders.

Yikes!  What if one of your service providers STOLE from one of your customers?  Or showed up DRUNK on the job?  What if a “consumer watchdog” reporter ambushed one of your employees?  How would he or she respond?

A little thought and planning can keep a bad day from becoming a publicity disaster!  Stuff happens…even to the best companies and most diligent business owners.  Nancy Michaels is here to help!

Jack Stack has had a huge influence on my business philosophy. He is one of the pioneers of open book management-sharing real financial information with team members.  Jack and I will chat it up and discuss the tenets of The Great Game of Business.

Al Levi and I decided to partner up as business advisers because of our shared beliefs: We intend to be of service and share what we’ve learned. And, we love helping people create successful businesses. We know HOW to do it…and we know how to get the roadblocks out of the way. Join us as we visit about keeping business simple and focusing on the few things that make all the difference to your success.

Susan Knapp knows…she cut a deal on ABC’s Shark Tank hit TV show!

We’ll discuss…

• What did the investors want?  And, how did you prepare and present to them?
• What does it mean to share equity?
• Any surprises to share?  What did you not see coming on the show…or since you started working with the Sharks?
• What does your new company look like?  How is the team different?  Who does what?
• What did you learn…swimming with the Sharks?

Ellen hams it up with David and Kristin Morelli!  Be happy and make more money!

Simon Sinek teaches leaders and companies to inspire people.

He created a simple model, The Golden Circle, that codifies what makes the most inspiring people and organizations so successful. The concept is so powerful that is is changing the way people think and act. Simon has been invited to talk about The Golden Circle across the United States and around the world. From Members of Congress to foreign ambassadors, from small businesses to corporations like Microsoft, from Hollywood to the Pentagon, more and more people are learning to become more effective, more efficient and more inspiring by discovering the power of Why and following their Golden Circle. His book, Start With Why, How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, will be published by Penguin Books in the fall of 2009.

Jeff is a professional publicist, tireless connector, and man about town.  He goes out almost every night of the week, with several parties and people on permanent mental speed dial, his brain constantly buzzing with new ideas. Described by friends as a “human MySpace” (Anthony Lappé) and “an infectious force of nature” (Larry Smith), the 35-year-old Long Island native and current Queens resident even has his own logo, courtesy of Dan Goldman, and flits from the mostly underground arts and comics world to the reggae and jazz scenes and beyond, always in search of more people to add to his coterie.

By day, he works as a publicist. By night, he wears any number of hats: Minister of Hype for online comics collective ACT-I-VATE, SMITH magazine Comics Editor, creative consultant for online graphic novels Shooting War and A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge, writer and performer.

During the Teleseminar, I’ll tackle these topics with Jeff..

• Let’s give a brief overview of Social Media…the tools and the vocabulary…
• What are the big mistakes people make with Social Networking?  What’s your pet peeve?
• If you choose not to get into Facebook, Twitter, etc….what will you miss?
• Who does Social Networking really well?  What sites, blogs, pages are worth a look?
• If you were to choose ONE Social Media connection…what would it be and how would you use it?
