THIS FRI. 1/31 New Year, New Specials deals END, claim them TODAY

1/27/2020

Greetings!

Just a friendly reminder that THESE deals aren't going to last for long, the time is now to consider determining what career path to take or getting that newsletter started for your business.

I've got 2 specials for you this month that can appeal to all my audiences. Please remember these can be purchased for yourself and/or someone else and make great gifts for anytime (not just a holiday), and can be used one year from the date of purchase. For any of the 2 "New Year Deals" listed below, you would just VISIT THIS LINK TO MY NEWSLETTER: https://conta.cc/2Gvoqgo OF THIS SAME INFO & CLICK THE PURPLE "BUY NOW" button at the bottom of that newsletter and pay with a debit/credit card and I do NOT see your card information, just receive an email with the amount you paid.

Hurry! These offers are good until 11:55 pm Pacific Standard Time Friday, 1/31/2020.

New Year Deal #1: Are you unsure what career path to pursue? What's your next move? Maybe you want to get out of your current job, but have no idea what careers to consider and/or have lots of interests, but can't clearly answer the question when someone asks, "So, what career field would you like to enter?" OR maybe you just want to take my proprietary career personality test to see if it confirms what you already knew were the career(s) you should be working in. These are all ideal client(s) for my 64-question proprietary career personality test which you can take in the comforts of your own home. You would choose the ONE BEST answer for each question on what YOU think about yourself (don't second guess yourself or think what OTHERS think of you, just what you think of yourself). My proprietary career personality test will provide you an analysis of your personality (very interesting and in-depth), at least 4 recommended career fields to pursue in order of preference, AND recommended training you can receive for the recommended career fields, i.e. if technology was one of the recommended career choices, you'd be recommended to attend DeVry University. The test is a $114 value BEFORE sales tax which I am forced to charge (Department of Revenue's ruling NOT mine) so the grand total of the test with sales tax is $125.30 if paying with U.S. cash, check, or money order and $130.46 if paying with a debit/credit card as I do NOT benefit from the fee to process your card). Please note that the sales tax I collect for the tax I do NOT benefit from and it gets paid along with all the other test(s) I sell throughout the year to the Department of Revenue which is OUTSIDE of the regular yearly taxes that I have to pay (like anyone else).

A FREE 10 minutes to de-brief at a scheduled consulting call is included in that rate to discuss any question(s) you may have after you had time to review your test results. Please be advised that the free 10 minutes will only be applied if you decide to pay for a consultation (it takes way longer than 10 minutes just for me to review your questions and provide my recommendations let alone try to discuss them in 10 minutes). So, basically I tell clients if they aren't willing to pay my consulting rate of $2 per minute plus the 4% + 15 cent processing fee that I don't benefit from, again in the example of 10 minutes consulting billed at a rate of $20 plus the processing fee would be a grand total of $20.95 in this example, then there will be no follow up de-brief consultation call.

New Year Deal #2: Do you NOT have a newsletter for your business and have been thinking/talking about how you should get one? Did you know that you're actually leaving money on the table by NOT having a newsletter? According to Convince & Convert from an article in saleswingsapp.com, 44 percent of email subscribers made at least ONE purchase based on a promotional email they received in 2015. Also, people who make purchases marketed through emails spend 138% MORE than people who do NOT receive emails. According to that same article "8 reasons your business should send out newsletters," your customers are very busy people who are NOT thinking about you and your company, but when they receive your newsletters of content that applies to their lives, it engages them to think about you and your business and think of you as an industry leader, NOT just another company.

I've got 15% off PER MONTH for each of my newsletter packages below:

If you'd like one newsletter to be written per month which includes me researching (either online myself, by material you give me, or interviewing someone or just communicating with you to see what you'd like written) as well as writing the material and having you review the material one time for one set of edits (one set of edits is defined as you look at the material and inform me of the edit(s) you'd like made all at once) and then it is finalized to be sent out along with me providing you the statistics on the "open rate" of your emails per month (that's defined as the percentage of your emails that were opened), I've got the following newsletter packages below:

3 months for the above listed newsletter services with the 15% discount per month is a one time payment of $459 if paying with U.S. cash, check, or money order and $477.51 if paying with a debit/credit card. (I do NOT see your debit/credit card information when you purchase through VISITING THIS LINK TO MY NEWSLETTER: https://conta.cc/2Gvoqgo OF THIS SAME INFO & CLICK THE PURPLE "BUY NOW" button at the bottom of that newsletter and pay with a debit/credit card and I do NOT see your card information, just receive an email with the amount you paid.
I have to charge the debit/credit card processing fee, as I am charged that fee to process your card so I do not benefit from it, it just nets me what I am charging. Contact me if you want to make payment arrangements.

6 months for the above listed newsletter services with a 15% discount per month is a one time payment of $918 if paying with U.S. cash, check, or money order and $954.87 if paying with a debit/credit card. I do NOT see your debit/credit card information when you purchase through VISITING THIS LINK TO MY NEWSLETTER: https://conta.cc/2Gvoqgo OF THIS SAME INFO & CLICK THE PURPLE "BUY NOW" button at the bottom of that newsletter and pay with a debit/credit card and I do NOT see your card information, just receive an email with the amount you paid.
I have to charge the debit/credit card processing fee, as I am charged that fee to process your card so I do not benefit from it, it just nets me what I am charging. Contact me if you want to make payment arrangements.

9 months for the above listed newsletter services with a 15% discount per month is a one time payment of $1,377 if paying with U.S. cash, check, or money order and $1,432.23 if paying with a debit/credit card. I do NOT see your debit/credit card information when you purchase through VISITING THIS LINK TO MY NEWSLETTER: https://conta.cc/2Gvoqgo OF THIS SAME INFO & CLICK THE PURPLE "BUY NOW" button at the bottom of that newsletter and pay with a debit/credit card and I do NOT see your card information, just receive an email with the amount you paid.
I have to charge the debit/credit card processing fee, as I am charged that fee to process your card so I do not benefit from it, it just nets me what I am charging. Contact me if you want to make payment arrangements.

12 months for the above newsletter services with a 15% discount per month is a one time payment of $1,836 if paying with U.S. cash, check, or money order and $1,909.59 if paying with a debit/credit card. I do NOT see your debit/credit card information when you purchase through VISITING THIS LINK TO MY NEWSLETTER: https://conta.cc/2Gvoqgo OF THIS SAME INFO & CLICK THE PURPLE "BUY NOW" button at the bottom of that newsletter and pay with a debit/credit card and I do NOT see your card information, just receive an email with the amount you paid.
I have to charge the debit/credit card processing fee, as I am charged that fee to process your card so I do not benefit from it, it just nets me what I am charging. Contact me if you want to make payment arrangements.

Please note there is a $1 per minute charge for me to set you up with Constant Contact (which is the email management system I use) to create your account and input your contacts for you if you don't have an existing account (and want help with this). Once you get a Constant Contact account, you'll have to pay Constant Contact a bill (normally monthly), unless you opt other payment options and their pricing varies dependent on the number of contacts you have and the level you have (i.e. it costs more to have the payment option in your newsletter than to just send out regular newsletters). A basic and lowest level meaning up to 500 email contacts is approximately $20 per month before taxes (that's according to what I Googled earlier today) and note I input the BEFORE taxes comment (Google didn't), but I know there's taxes and even Constant Contact can't give an exact amount, since it's based on your zip code. I calculated the sales tax rate of 9.9% for Puyallup, WA for a $19.99 monthly plan and calculated $21.089 approximately per month with taxes.

There is currently a promotion going on with Constant Contact, where if you use my referral link here: https://www.constantcontact.com/features/signup.jsp?rc=-55141918&sru=1116636354785&fc=f&cc=RAF-REFLINK&pn=ROVING
to open a Constant Contact newsletter account you will get a $75 credit on your account and I will on mine as well as both of us receiving a $75 VISA gift card. Offer ends February 3, 2020 by 8:59 pm Pacific Standard Time. For more details, visit: https://www.constantcontact.com/legal/refer-a-friend-promo

New Year, New Specials

1/20/2020

Not sure about you, but I've been guilty with twice writing "19" still for 2019 on dates versus "20" for 2020.

“Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.”–William Arthur Ward

I'm on the radio & one way to meet me tomorrow!

9/27/2019

Greetings!

I was interviewed on Rainier Avenue Radio World for Women Empowerment Talk Radio and you can listen to this half hour show for free (I was asked two questions, so it's pretty short, since another business owner was interviewed as well and of course, community events and news were also discussed by the two co-hosts) every Friday at 2 pm, Saturday 6:30 pm, and Sunday at 4:30 pm JUST THIS MONTH at: https://www.rainieravenueradio.world/

Do you and/or someone you know want to meet since they've never met me in person before and/or want to see me again and join me at the following event tomorrow?

This is the PERFECT opportunity for those people who have wanted to meet me in person BEFORE they do business with me or hasn't seen me in awhile to SEIZE these opportunities. The last time I had emailed these opportunities OUTSIDE of my events was this past February and one of my event outings I was attending was cancelled because of the snow storm. So, again, I really mean it when I say jump on these opportunities! William Arthur Ward couldn't have said it best,“Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.”THIS Saturday, September 28, 2019 2 pm to 4 pm at the Federal Way Fitness Studio located at: 33633 9th Avenue South Federal Way, WA 98003 "Clutternomics Clear your way to productivity, abundance, & peace!"

Kathleen Ronald will be presenting her 2-hour workshop "Clutternomics." Clutternomics affects 19 areas of your life and business! Organizations are losing tens of thousands, and in some case millions, over a year's time due to their business clutter and the clutter each of their employees brings in.
Clutter is the costly killer! Does your clutter cause you stress, loss of time, money, and peace of mind to name a few?

The cost of clutter to an organization is enormous! Stephanie Winston, author of the Organized Executive, estimates an hour each day is lost to disorder, costing an organization over $8,000 for an employee earning $65,000 a year.

In this session, you will:

Discover why de-cluttering is one of Kathleen's top business strategies for "instant" abundance.
Learn "one" easy rule and 'get back' 7 hours per week.

Labor Day specials

9/3/2019

Happy Labor Day!

It's our 125th anniversary of Labor Day being created as a National Holiday. The first Monday in September is a creation of the labor movement dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

In honor of us workers, I am having a 3-day flash sale of 50% off consultations with me.

These are the 3 consultations that I am highlighting for this 3-day flash sale good through THIS Friday September 6, 2019 11:55 pm Pacific Standard Time. That gives some of you the chance to still get paid/make arrangements after Labor Day for any last minute funds you may need. :)

Featured consultation #1: Receive a review of ONE resume, a 9 question job seeker form that you'd fill out and email to so that I can better assist you at an up to 30 minute phone consultation that we will schedule after I have reviewed your resume and completed job seeker form. At the up to 30 minute phone consultation, we will discuss my recommendations on improving your resume, price quote(s) and recommendations based on what you filled out in the job seeker form. We will have the opportunity to ask each other questions (I ask clients to type up any other question(s) they may have outside of what I ask on the job seeker form, if applicable) so I can prepare my recommendations at the consultation. All regularly a $60 value ($62.55 with debit/credit card processing fee that I don't benefit from) on sale through Friday, Sept. 6, 2019 11:55 pm PST for $31.30 (50% discount)!
Consultation terms & conditions apply to all 3 consultations listed in this newsletter: Any consultation lasting less than 30 minutes, no reimbursements and any consultation lasting over 30 minutes will be billed at a rate of $2 per minute and be due upon the completion of the phone call. The debit/credit card processing fee will occur as well so, for example, if the call went over by 40 minutes, that is $80 & with the debit/credit card processing fee that I don't benefit from it would be $83.35 (it's a 4% plus .15 cent charge). You would provide your card information over the phone with me so that I could process your charge. If you prefer to pre-purchase your minutes now, I have them in increments of:
5 minutes for $10.55 with debit/credit card processing fee that I don't benefit from,
10 minutes for $20.95 with debit/credit card processing fee that I don't benefit from,
20 minutes for $41.75 with debit/credit card processing fee that I don't benefit from,
&
30 minutes for $62.55 with debit/credit card processing fee that I don't benefit from

**When purchasing from my newsletter with the purple "Buy Now" buttons, I NEVER see your card information, just your name and the amount you pay for.**Extra minutes do not expire, the date to use these consultations do expire one year from the date purchased. Limit one different type of consultation per person (i.e. this career/resume one for one person, but you can buy multiple of the same consultation to gift to others), but the same expirations apply. No refunds.**

**IF YOU WERE ON MY NEWSLETTER, THERE'D BE A PURPLE "BUY NOW" BUTTON HERE & YOU'D BE ABLE TO CLICK IT, HOWEVER, HERE IS THE LINK TO THAT NEWSLETTER SO YOU CAN: https://conta.cc/32tnh21**

Featured consultation #2: Review of one LinkedIn profile and a 4 question LinkedIn form that I have the client fill out PRIOR to setting the up to 30 minute phone consultation to discuss my recommendations on improving your LinkedIn profile (should you decide to hire me), along with my recommendations, including price quote(s) based on what you filled out in the 4 question LinkedIn form. The opportunity to answer more questions that hopefully you wrote down on your 4 question LinkedIn form you filled out can take place during this consultation as well. All normally a $60 value ($62.55 with debit/credit card processing fee that I don't benefit from) on sale through Friday, Sept. 6, 2019 11:55 pm PST for $31.30 (50% discount)!

Fill out an 11 question writing, editing, and marketing form so that I can better assist you with your needs and you can describe your project in further detail. Plus, me reviewing your project (i.e. a website, book, or other document) you're requesting the assistance with so that at the up to 30 minute phone consultation I will be able to provide you with the best price quote(s) and recommendation(s) based on the form you fill out and me reviewing your project prior.

Odd Jobs Aug. 27th game networking night & giveaways is canceled.

8/27/2019

The practice marketing yourself for "Odd Jobs" event game networking night TONIGHT and giveaways is CANCELED.

I've never had to cancel an event before unless I was really sick. This was because of lack of commitments. I would've done this specific event (not saying these are my rules for other events) IF I would've had AT LEAST 3 other people besides me, but couldn't make it work.

I plan to put a sign up on the bowling alley door (in case someone I don't know didn't get the message) and shows up. I've already canceled the events on my 3 meetup pages, emailed the News Tribune events calendar staff to please remove my event, deleted it off Eventbrite, deleted it off eventsi, and am now sending it on Facebook and LinkedIn. I will put it on my blog on my website as well which is: http://www.worksolutionstoday.com/blog as well.

Please do NOT expect events from me in the summer months (September is included in that since it's still summer most of that month) since SO MANY people go on vacations and are BUSIER than normal, plus Labor Day weekend is this weekend (didn't realize that when I planned this event TONIGHT AND the Washington State Fair starts THIS Friday).

December is another month for NO events since it's such a crazy month for everyone it doesn't matter if you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza the whole month MANY people are focused on their holiday shindigs, getting their home ready for the holidays, etc., having family come from out of town, getting ready for the holidays, (New Year's is right after whatever ONE of those holidays you celebrate as well, etc).

Thank you!

You'd click the "Buy Now" purple button at the bottom of this newsletter & pay with a credit card or debit card and I do NOT see your card information. No refunds under any circumstances (if event is cancelled, you will be credited for a future event or service).

**VERY IMPORTANT WHEN PAYING FOR YOUR TICKET: You have to select "**AFTER FRI. 8-23 AT 6 PM LATE RSVP ODD JOBS**" It's the second one in the registration list. I called tech support for my newsletter company and that cannot be changed since tickets have already been purchased.

If you are bringing a guest and getting the discount deal, it's the FIRST option on the list and please make sure to put your quantity for yourself and your guest.

Also, if you need more reasons to come to my event:

(1.) August 25 - August 31 is "Be Kind to Humankind Week"according to Women's World Magazine Issue August 26, 2019. Share your caring heart with friends, family, even strangers this week! I had did the following "thoughtful" things yesterday alone NOT even because of this special week. I had texted an article to a colleague of mine about lowering your heart attack risk by 60% since she mentioned she recently found out from her doctor that she is having heart problems, sent it to my dad as well who has survived a heart attack once before, texted a coupon for a colleague an up to 20% off coupon for McLendon Hardware Home Services for her to get professional installations since she is remodeling her home, AND dropped off ONE big container out of a pack of 2 that come at Costco for this really good Tapioca to my mom's house. Since she wasn't home (yes, I called beforehand), I went to Safeway and bought a reusable grocery bag and filled it with a bag of ice and put her tapioca big container in there so it wouldn't spoil until she got home. She definitely appreciated the nice gesture. My point? Will you be kind to me and attend my event and/or bring/send other(s)? What will be your kind gestures to others this week.

(2.) Tuesday, August 27, 2019 is "Treat Yourself Day" "Just Because" according to Women's World Magazine Issue August 26, 2019. (That is also the same day as my event!) :) Basically they did a study and choosers vs those who window shopped were three times happier since they felt in more control. Researcher Scott Rick, Ph.D., "The choices involved in shopping help to restore feelings of control over one's life, which can improve mood." My point? You wouldn't be window shopping if you attended my event! :) Why don't you treat yourself and/or someone else and come to my event?

(3.) I received an email newsletter from Telefora informing me that the same day as my event is women's equality holiday! They are offering 20% off flower bouquets as a result and were promoting to give recognition to a strong female role model in your life with an eye-catching bouquet from Teleflora, always handcrafted, always hand delivered. My point: I am a woman business owner and by attending my event and having others attend, helps support my business as well. :)

(4.) It would be too much to share how much time I've invested working on this event daily and promoting it and trying to make it work since I don't want to have to cancel it (I will have to tomorrow, Sunday, August 25, 2019 no later than 5:30 pm if I don't have commitments with attendees purchasing their tickets). I've never had to cancel an event before (unless I was really sick), but in this case it would be because of lack of commitments before the event. I will have to try and get a refund for the hourly room rental. It will be the fact of missing out on playing this fun game, giving these giveaways away, having fun, and meeting new/old people (new to me or old as in known for awhile) that bothers me the most not thecountless hours, the $29 2-day other online event promotional ad I worked on last night at midnight as "an extra" way to promote outside of everything else I do daily to promote it (flyers, cold calls, online, etc., etc.). I can't have people waiting to commit until the last minute and risk the chance of receiving NO SHOWS. I had even extended the early bird deadline to midnight last night as one of many attempts as well. Summer has really been rough with so many people on vacations and busier with other obligations (it reminds me of the month of December) where it's another very busy time for people and attendance is lower.

(5.) Don't you want to meet others? Network your business? Have fun? Practice and utilize your marketing skills? Get great giveaways to keep for yourself and/or give others? Support a business and good cause?

Another event of mine pictured above.

The PAYDAY game networking night (July 30, 2019) pictured above was a blast! The person with the most money in the end wins (I had won the game with $32,600 cash), Peter was second place with a figure in the $27,000 range and Robert placed third with $24,000 range of cash on hand). The sushi or chicken teriyaki game night was also a blast! I had won the 4 games we played of "Befuddled" (word game similar to Scrabble), so rest assured I am good with words. I did win my third grade spelling bee! :)

Another event of mine pictured above.
