" Pat hones in what's most important, listens to what is not said and reveals it in very short time --- quite amazing. With this reframing, it's easier to take the used-to-be-dreaded (but not anymore, thanks to Pat!) action. She also provides you a solid support structure to make it easy for you to actually put your plan into practice right away, before other stuff gets in the way. Thank you for your creative yet practical solution to meet my business challenges quickly. "

  " I needed more structure to accomplish more but didn't understand exactly how to create it. Now, I can see where I want to go next. I'm also quite shy. To meet certain business and personal goals, this can get in the way. With Pat's help I'm more comfortable with talking with people. "

Joint Venture

~ Joint venture matchmaking: How compatible are you? (FREE Webinar)~

Are you new to joint ventures?

According to Osborn (2003), 30 to 61% of joint ventures fail, and 60% fail to start or fade away within 5 years.

So, if you walk into a collaboration or Joint Venture lacking vision for what your contribution is, what you want to accomplish and who would be a good match for you, then you are probably setting yourself up for failure.

There IS good news on the horizon, though!

The benefits of joint venturing are plentiful.

Plus, you can walk into a collaborative or JV conversation feeling prepared.

Get ready to learn who could be a good match for you and why.

This webinar is both practical and purposeful. It's definitely one you won't want to miss!

Attention Online and In-person Networkers:

Are you convinced that collaborating or joint ventures (JVs) are a good idea but...?

The truth is, you can't see yourself in that picture... of working successfully with a JV partner?

-- Because of one or more of the following issues...

  • Self-promotion: You don't know what you bring, if anything, to a JV
  • Experience: Your experiences of working with a JV partner have been disappointing or nonexistent
  • Trust: Will you be able to trust your JV partner with the finances and contacts?

The truth is, the failure rate of JVs is extremely high: According to Osborn (2003), 30 to 61% of joint ventures fail, and 60% fail to start or fade away within 5 years. Plus, a JV is highly personal.

So is being self-employed, especially if you're promoting your self -- not another company's product or service.

Take the JV exploratory discussion, for example: You cannot hide from yourself or your potential JV partner. You are IT! It's similar to a job interview, except more complex and potentially intimidating because it's like CNN's slogan: "Keeping them honest".

A successful JV requires that you be be honest and open with your partner every step of the way... through the smooth AND rough spots along your JV journey.

It can be scary but... like the roller coaster ride, it can be exhilarating, refreshing and satisfying too!!

So, do you SEE yourself here?

  • I'm a risk taker!
  • I love challenges.
  • I want to have more impact and influence than what I have today.
  • I have been self-employed on a full- or part-time basis for at least one year.

Award-winning author's search for the "real deal" is over!
"Pat and Monique's BTBC got down to brass tacks about marketing and networking and covered issues most programs of that sort ignore, but are central to success. Their appreciative attitudes and encouraging support made the program more effective than other such classes I've taken, as it increased rapport, trust, and openness to ask questions. Their handouts were easy to understand and to use. Thanks, Monique and Pat, for sharing your expertise and going above and beyond to provide value to the participants in your BTBC program."

Boosted vibrations attract ideal clients!
"I felt great about my networking skills but wanted to refine my approach and learn new tips, suggestions, and master online networking compared to offline networking. Mostly, I learned not to give away the farm and to be natural about what it is I am doing. And currently I am redefining my brand and tag lines and I believe that will also affect my elevator pitch written and spoken. It is a ongoing process. I have not yet put new networking tools into practice, but I have a better commitment to follow ups and I also am aware of why people are attracted to me and how to keep that vibe going. And I am glad to have discovered new tools such as BlitzTime and observe how other people network. Networking essentially is a message of relationship building between yourself and those you meet. Do take Monique and Pat's Boot Camp to boost your vibe so that you can attract the right clients."
