Smart Stuff for Tough Times

The title of this blog post is the name of a new seminar series that provides tools, information and inspiration in a timely and cost effective fashion. In these tough times, it becomes ever more critical that people have affordable access to self empowerment. So, with the help of some talented colleagues, I'm making this happen.

This seminar series, "Smart Stuff for Tough Times" is all about making resources available locally. To that end, we are taking it to everyone who asks for it, and then some.

Here are some of the topics we'll be addressing:

Practical tips for day-to-day money management in tough times
How to find the right path for you
Making the most out of being laid off/unemployed
How to set up your own small business easily and fast
Resume and personal presentation tips to land that job
How to stay upbeat and motivated when the chips are down....

...and much more.

Our first set of seminars is already booked at the Women's Building, 3543 18th Street between Valencia and Guerrero in San Francisco. We'll be doing this seminar after the first of the year as well in Sacramento, Fresno, San Jose, and Monterey.

The cost is quite low. A full day seminar costs only $40.00, an evening seminar only $20.00. Groups are welcome to inquire, and you can register for any of these programs or get more information by calling 415 467 6559.

There's also a website (just a temporary one but it will get you basic info):

I'll be posting some tips and homework next week centered around year end assessment AND last minute gifts from the heart. After that, we'll all be planning 2009 according to our Life Purpose and Grand Passions. Woo Hoo.

It's snowed a foot in the last 24 hours at my parent's place in the High Sierra. Looks like I'll be visiting a White Christmas this year.

Stay warm.
