Michele Dekinder-SmithMichele Dekinder-Smith

  • You’re ready for your business to start making money…and soon.

  • You’re tired of watching your business struggle financially despite your hard work and determination.

  • You’re an intelligent, determined and capable entrepreneur who just needs the right information, tools, and support network to succeed.

Do you LOVE your business? If you had to choose one word to describe your entrepreneurial style, what would it be? Passionate? Determined? Resolute? Tenacious? Are you driven by your vision but frustrated by a lack of profit in your business?

If you know you’re ready to do what it takes so that your business can start making the money you need it to, keep reading …

From the desk of Michele DeKinder-Smith

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • You absolutely love and believe in what you do. You eat, sleep and breathe your business – but for some reason, it’s not performing financially. What if there was a way to turn that passion into profit?
  • You have so many great ideas, it’s sometimes tough to know which one to pursue. What if you had a simple tool that would ensure profitability by helping you focus and prioritize?
  • You feel frustrated because you’re not seeing a financial return equal to the amount of hard work you’re putting in. What if you could put easy, simple action steps into place in your business, week by week, so that your hard work did pay off, and you started seeing results quickly?
  • You know your business has potential, but you just aren’t sure where to focus, and you wish you had the advice of someone you could trust to help you sort it all out.  What if you could tap into a great mentor right now – how would things change for you?
  • You feel alone, like nobody else is going through this. What if there was an opportunity to meet a whole group of like-minded women with whom you could share ideas and support?

I’ve got great news for you: You're in the right place.

You may not know it, but you are not alone. About 1 in 3 businesswomen are in the same spot as you are – smart, determined, dedicated and frustrated. They’re working hard, dreaming big, and earning small. About 9 out of 10 women in this group are dissatisfied with cash flow, and many are unhappy with their revenue, business costs or personal income drawn through their company.

Nobody talks about it – discussing your financial struggles and frustration at networking events obviously isn’t the ideal way to get someone to hire you – but many other women are facing the same struggles -- and they’re looking for answers, just like you are.

You had the courage to start your own business, and you have stuck with it despite the obstacles you’ve faced. Your passion and determination are inspirational to all business owners, and success really can be just around the corner – as long as you get the solutions you need so you can accelerate your learning curve and enjoy more profit and financial security. You don’t have to keep beating your head against the wall.

All you need is some great mentoring, a little encouragement, and a supportive network who can help you take the RIGHT steps to start seeing the results you deserve in your business.

I’m Michele DeKinder-Smith, and as the Founder and CEO of Jane Out of the Box, it’s my passion in life to help women like you – business owners – succeed. Jane Out of the Box is a community dedicated to supporting female entrepreneurs. Based on several years’ worth of research – during which we’ve interviewed more than 2,500 female entrepreneurs – Jane Out of the Box provides varied information, including articles, helpful links and a free assessment for business owners to determine their entrepreneurial type (and therefore their strengths and challenges). I also still own my first business, Linkage Research and Consulting (more on that later), made close to $2 million in revenue in 2009, while requiring fewer than 40 hours of my time in a typical week.

I’m not telling you all this to make myself sound super-successful. In fact, before I figured out how to make my business work for me, I had $100,000 in credit card debt from my business. I had to sell my house, and I was seriously questioning my own skills and abilities.  I’m sharing the truth of how it was for me, because I want you to know that I completely understand what you’re going through now. I understand the passion behind your dream. I understand the stress of not making enough money to run your business. I understand the loneliness of not being able to really say what’s going on.  And I understand the solutions you need to turn your business around.

That’s why I’ve partnered with a dear friend of mine, and fellow successful entrepreneur, Joy Chudacoff, founder of Smart Women Smart Solutions, to bring you an incredible opportunity to get the support you need.  Like me, Joy has been through times of serious financial struggle in her business – and she’s learned a host of strategies for bringing in cash fast – as well as building for the long haul.  She’s also one of the best business coaches I know.  Working together, we’re inviting a small group of Tenacity Janes (women currently struggling with cash flow in their businesses) to join us on an incredible growth journey for the next 90 days.

Imagine meeting every other week with a great mentor:

  • Someone who will challenge you with new ideas and strategies to start generating cash flow quickly. 
  • Someone that can see the “gold nuggets in your  business and offer strategies that you can implement right away.
  • Someone who will answer your questions and help you think things through, building strength in your business for the long haul, too. 
  • Someone who cares about your success, will hear how it’s going, and help you continue making improvements, based on the results you’re getting, so you gain some real momentum.

Imagine having a safe place to share your questions and to get advice from other like-minded women entrepreneurs, who want to support your growth – and who want your help in return.  Where honesty, compassion, friendship, and TRUTH combine to help you tap into your own potential and find the right path to lead to your success.

Imagine making progress, big steps and small, every week for the next 90 days –learning, fine-tuning, and celebrating every step of the way, knowing that at the end of these 90 days, you’re going to be in a much better place in your business, with greater clarity, increased knowledge of what works, more support, and a brighter financial future.

The specific benefits I get from you that are the MOST important and were immediately apparent are clarity and the desire to act. From our first meeting you were able to take all my scattered thoughts and ideas and put them down on paper then help me to create the actions to make them happen. You have motivated me to act on things that you weren't even aware of, like writing the chapter for the book. The result that has impacted me and my business more than anything has been the identification of our ideal client that you helped me to determine!

Welcome to the Momentum Mastermind. 
Success doesn’t happen overnight.  It happens by taking small, simple steps – the RIGHT steps – every day.  Think about how children grow – they take a small step; they waver some and step again; they learn and gain confidence; they toddle; they walk – and before you know it, they’re running.  That’s Momentum ­– and that’s what this Mastermind is all about.  (If you don’t know what a Mastermind is, we’re thrilled to introduce you to the concept …. It’s a circle of peers, each agreeing to support each other, often guided by a mentor – with the singular goal of fostering the success of everyone in the group.)

What will the Momentum Mastermind do for you?

It will:

  • Empower you to take the RIGHT actions in your business, gaining momentum and knowledge along the way.

  • Teach you new solutions to the obstacles you’re facing, so you can move them out of the way more quickly and easily.

  • Give you two successful, caring mentors of whom you can ask questions and get honest feedback, including (gently) letting you know if they think you have a blind spot that is holding you back from your true potential.

  • Give you chances to be in the spotlight for Business Makeovers – with a live Makeover happening every two weeks.  During your Makeover, you share a challenge you’re facing.   Your mentors will help you solve the problem real-time … and by sharing, you’ll be helping other members of the group learn as well – and apply the lessons to their own businesses
  • Surround you with your peers – other passionate female entrepreneurs, each with her own gifts you can learn from, while knowing you are pursuing similar goals of creating more financial success.

  • Move you closer … and closer ... and closer to the ideal business and life you envision for yourself.

How long have you been struggling?  The Momentum Mastermind will help you shortcut the cycle of trial-and-error by giving you access to the right ideas at the right time so you meet your goals more quickly and more easily.  We’ll teach you the very specific, very crucial steps toward making your dream reality.  We’ll be honest and tell it like it is.  And we’ll bring you the benefit of our research and experience coaching women just like you.  I am confident you’ll make more progress in the next 90 days than you have in the past year or more.  Best yet, it won’t be just “progress” – it will be Momentum … and that momentum will continue to grow and build for you long after this 90 day program is over.

JessicaI THINK BIGGER when I talk to you. I brought an $800 IDEA to one of our calls and we turned the same idea into a $3200 PLAN.

I have MORE CONFIDENCE when I talk to you. You help me believe that my ideas are possible.

I MOVE FORWARD thanks to our coaching. I feel a responsibility to our coaching relationship to DO what I say I will do on our calls.

GET RESULTS from the actions we discuss. There is not one thing you have suggested to me that has not worked. You have the formula for marketing down pat.

The Momentum Mastermind

It’s a 90-day organized Mastermind, with calls happening every two weeks so you are getting new strategies for fueling business growth, lots of opportunity to get your questions answered, accountability and encouragement in creating positive changes, and many chances to access our Business Makeover learning.
Each information–rich and supportive call will follow the same basic format:

  • Introduce a new proven, simple solution just right for helping Tenacity Jane reach her goals
  • Question and answer opportunities
  • A Business Makeover session
  • A chance to “claim” your next action and gain support from the group

The importance of learning who we are and who we want to become was simplified for us during the keynote presentation by Michele DeKinder-Smith with Jane Out Of The Box during our 2009 WBO National Business Convention this past week in Houston, Texas. Our attendees were enriched by the lives of each woman Michele shared with us during her presentation and our personal expectations grew as we learned how we could become our own personal ideal "Jane".  Meeting Michele was a personal joy for me as she has helped me learn what type of "Jane" I am and how I can become the "Jane" of my ideals. Being given this life changing information has helped anchor me into the understanding that it is through my own actions and choices that I will be able to become who I have always imagined myself to be.

As a Momentum Mastermind member, here’s what you can expect:

  • Relevant and proven online and offline marketing strategies that work right away
  • A system for identifying high priority vs. low priority items so you can spend your time wisely on getting the “right” things done
  • Touchpoints with your mentors every two weeks to make sure that you are on track and moving towards your most important goals
  • A process for tracking your results

Plus, you’ll have access to your peers in the group via our online forum, the perfect place to get feedback, support, and to celebrate every new step you’ve taken as you build your momentum. 

One last thought about Masterminding … Both Joy and I make a commitment to be involved in a Mastermind every year because we KNOW that this is one of the KEY essentials for consistent growth and profit.  In fact, Joy and I met in a Mastermind group last year – demonstrating just what powerful events can happen when you participate in this kind of a group!  Joy shared with me that having her own coaches and participating in a mastermind were one of the keys to her own successful transition from Tenacity Jane to Jane Dough over the last 18 months.

We are committed to offering you an amazing mastermind experience because we have seen the powerful results ourselves!

 

We are women yet we are not all the same. There are times when I thought in order to be successful I needed to be just like a woman or women I admired. Don't get me wrong...it's always good to learn from a successful woman. But what I have learned is that I don't need to be exactly like her. Michele brought this to light in a completely different manner. With the "Jane Out of the Box" concept, each one of us can identify with a type at different points in our lives and our careers. And that's okay. Michele shows the entrepreneur in each of us where we came from, where we are, where we are going and how to get there. Anyone who listens to Michele will have a better understanding of themselves in today's world. I know I do. I can't wait to finish the book. Thanks, Michele.

This sounds great Michele and Joy, so how much is it going to cost me?

Remember, we’ve been where you are now. There was a time when we watched every expenditure, practically a penny at a time.  We lived with business debt hanging over our heads, creating stress and sometimes even problems with our spouses.  So we know you simply can’t afford a huge price tag on a course like this when you’re working so hard just to pay the bills and keep your business running.

On the other hand, you’ve got to know that there’s an end to this rough patch. With the right tools, you can turn your business around – and working together with you, Joy and I can give you a huge jumpstart in just 30 days. Imagine how good it will feel to start taking big steps toward financial stability.

Just like we’ll be teaching in our course, you’ll determine your pricing based on what your market needs and how much you need to make to move your business forward. Balancing these two things, Joy and I are committed to offering this course at the lowest possible price. We’ve walked in your shoes and we want you to benefit from our experience and that of the other 2,500 women business owners I’ve interviewed. 

That’s why we’re offering the Momentum Mastermind at an incredibly low rate of just $197 per month for three months. 

That may feel like a “no brainer” to you – or it may feel like a leap of faith, depending on how serious your financial struggles are right now.

This is a “No Brainer”, Sign Me Up Now!

 

If you’re in the latter camp, please know that this one-time investment will give you and your business the momentum you need for years to come.  If the situation is dire, you need help immediately – and we’re here for you.

It’s time to see the profits you deserve. It’s time to learn what you need to know so you can create income and stop worrying about whether your business will be afloat next month.  It’s time to start living a life of success, as you define it!

DaryaDid you ever have an idea that kept bugging you, but you were not able to make it happen?  You keep thinking about it, sharing it with friends but it never seems to come together?  When I met Joy, it all became a reality.  Joy has a talent for helping people achieve their goals.  She listened to my idea and she helped me create a plan to make it happen.  She gave me an easy to follow road-map to reaching the goal.

Because I know how tough it can be to struggle with cash flow, I want you to feel comfortable in making this investment. I want you to feel confident that your investment will pay off, and that you will be able to use the information you learn to start making money.

Q: You are obviously successful – but so much has changed since you started your business – so how can you help me get past this?
A: I’ve made it my business to keep up on business. Both Joy and I make sure that each year, we budget for ongoing business learning and coaching.  My ongoing research of more than 2,500 women entrepreneurs makes me an expert on what it takes to make it. Believe it or not, most of the female business owners we’ve interviewed have been in your shoes at some time. Consider it a phase. Many of the people we’ve interviewed had to come up with their plans the hard way, but we’re offering you an opportunity to learn from people who have been there and who have gotten past that stage.

Q: I feel like I’m so busy just trying to keep my head above water. I don’t know if I have time to sit through 2 calls a month! 
A: This course will save you so much time in the long run, consider it a small investment for a huge future return – and the future starts within 90 days. We’re going to provide you with some strategies that will help you focus your energy and resources so your time is better spent from now on.

Q: My business is just young – that’s why it hasn’t started making money yet. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until I succeed. Do I really need to take this mastermind?
A: We know your determination will pay off. Wouldn’t you rather it paid off sooner? The information you’ll learn on this call will help you get your business on track and picking up momentum at a rate much faster than if you just wait it out.
