Today begins my “Summer In A Suitcase” Project. With thanks to Willie Nelson, my theme song for this mission is called “On The Road Again.” Getting into action across several northeastern states to talk with business owners about their business marketing will give them an opportunity to learn the new marketing trends and how social media is the way of the future.
For the rest of the month of August through Labor Day, September 2, 2010 I will be blogging my results and introducing you to the business owners I meet along the way.
While gathering all my belongings, packing them in the car and heading out to go up north, my first stop will be friends that I know right here in NC. So follow me as I set out on my journey.
You can help me with my online survey. If you are reading this here on my blog, please Click here to take survey and get your name and your business recognized on my project results. You will also be added to my business directory at the end of the project.

Cindy talked about her challenges, successes and her new projects. She talked about how important it is to outsource her online business to free up her time with technology challenges so she recommended odesk.com as a resource to help others with their outsourcing.
On August 1st, 2010 through Labor Day, September 6, 2010, I will have rented my house, packed my car, loaded my suitcase and headed up north for a project called “Summer In A Suitcase.”
My mission is to drive from NC to neighboring states to ask small business owners, and those who work from home, to fill out a survey on their challenges, successes and their marketing strategies. There will be video interviews, photos, blog post stories and fun tidbits to share as I work my way around.
My weekly podcasts will become live video interviews with business owners as they share their stories. I will be giving away freebies and some business promotions to those who participate.
My final destination – Delaware, my home state, to stay with family members, where I will put together a magnificent and memorable project. Who knows, I may be driving an RV next summer.
More details to come in the next few days. So stay tuned….
*****NOTE – THERE ARE SOME SKIPS IN A FEW SPOTS*****

As a babyboomer, who didn’t complete my formal education past 2 years of college, I continued my adult education through community college and university college courses specific to my interests, avoiding the drudgery of required courses that had nothing to do with my passions or niche.
I guess you could say, I am a life long learner of my own destiny. What I have learned in my adult life is the importance of personal development and how essential it is for business and personal success. So I continued to find classes specific to my needs and passions to help move forward in my business.
Recently, I completed another course called Niche Attraction Group Coaching with Cindy Schulson and Kate Williams. In this course, I was able to get more insight into coaching and the importance of my Niche. In this video, I share the layout of the course, what I learned and how Cindy and Kate helped me continue my education and knowledge.
