Hello {!firstname}:

Most of my energy and attention next week will be focused on putting together another wonderful Retire Retirement Boot Camp weekend. So I'm sending you a Living with the Brakes Off! this week instead of next. Then, you'll get a break for two whole weeks before you see the next issue on December 4th! :-)

To your endless possibilities -- and a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Lin Schreiber, Retirement Revolutionary

Taking Advantage of the Information Age

by Lin Schreiber, Retirement Coach

Whether we like it or not, we live in the information age. And, because we're people of, ahem, a certain age, we're carrying around a wealth of valuable information. What if there was a cost effective way to package your knowledge and sell it? Have you considered creating an online business?

That's not what I set out to do when I started my coaching business eight years ago. In the past 5 years, though, I've become a total techno geek. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I understand how the technology I use works, or want to understand how it works, or even that I personally make it work. But, I love using it. I love the way it allows me to have fun connecting with people all over the world and creating wonderful relationships -- like writing this article for you!

It's also been crucial in helping me build a successful business. Without the miracle of the internet, I most likely would not be in business today.

I owe it all to one amazing woman, Donna Gunter. She's my virtual (she's in Texas, I'm in Massachusetts) assistant extraordinaire. Not only does she love the technology, but over the years she's become an online business resource queen. And, while she's (mostly) taken me kicking and screaming to each new technology, once there, I fall in love. Why? Because, whole new worlds are open to me, and I'm having a blast!

If you'd like to explore the possibility of starting an online business, be sure to check out this great resource: Donna's OnlineBizU.com. Since, she can only work with a handful of businesses at any given time; she created this really cool, private, members-only community for online business owners who want to get serious about internet marketing. It's loaded with truly everything you ever wanted to know about doing business on the internet, including a wealth of valuable tips and resources, and over 200 information-packed, how-to articles on everything from growing a mailing list and increasing traffic to your website to developing information products and creating passive revenue streams.

Plus, there's a step-by-step guide to marketing your business online, member promotional forum and free monthly teleclass.

I refer all of my entrepreneur (and entrepreneur "wanna-be") clients who want to have a strong internet presence to OnlineBizU, and they're always impressed with how generous Donna is with her expertise, and how quickly she helps them achieve their business goals.

I’m afraid this recommendation might have gotten lost last week, so I'm recommending it again since it's coming up fast next week...

Are you ready to let the "real you" shine out into your business and into your life? Do you want to take steps to bring your skills more fully into the world, to serve others in a bigger way? Could you use the support of top-notch tools and processes to guide you, so that you know exactly what steps to take next? Are you ready to stop getting stuck in procrastination and perfectionism?

Check out Lisa Dennys' From Awareness to Action: Stepping Up to Your Bigger Life 5-week teleclass series. First class starts November 17th!
