Good Day Mate! Oh, sorry, still trying to get back to “American” language after two weeks in Oz! It was a fabulous trip and had the opportunity to meet and hang with some movers and shakers in the marketing world. I’ve got quite a selection of pictures going in Facebook (which you can find with my new vanity URL at http://www.facebook.com/melaniebensonstrick.) You’ve got to see the zoo pictures too….lots of fun hanging with the kangaroos. =-)
I also had the amazing opportunity to meet with local Peter Cutforth of Business Media Clicks. We did one of my Lifestyle Business strategy days. He sent me a powerful video testimonial of what happened within 24 hours to pay for his session….whew! Maybe I should open up another session here in the U.S. again soon? Oh, one more thing…. I’ve recently been seeing an upsurge of questions and calamities around business partnerships. So I’ve been thinking of hosting a series around how to do it so it’s profitable, fun and long-lasting…can you tell me what you think about that idea he.re. Cheers mate! (oy, I know…I’ll get over the Aussie thing soon…) To your success,

Four Business Partnering Ideas for Colossal Expansion
John is a highly creative person who loves to do one thing – write. And he makes a really great living at it. But when it comes to running a business and dealing with the operations John would pretty much prefer to get a root canal in the middle of the Sahara desert. Dan is a brilliant marketing strategist who grossed 7 figures for years doing what he does best – selling from the stage and writing award winning sales copy. But it was a lot of work on his own.

Typically once the business gets to a certain level of revenue; it can be far more profitable for both spouses to work together than to outsource the operations to someone else.
