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!

MY NEXT EVENT: Calling all job seekers, career changers, business owners, or JUST ANYONE (except young kids) who want to have a fun night off to play the hilarious game of "Odd Jobs Help Wanted: Apply Within" Practice marketing yourself for up to 200 business cards and 180 jobs to convince the client (the people playing with you) to hire YOU for the job. Game is for 4 OR more players.

Join me on Tuesday, August 27, 2019 at 6 pm to 8 pm in the upstairs room of the Daffodil Bowling alley located at: 1624 E. Main Street, Puyallup, WA 98372. We will start promptly at 6 pm with me introducing myself, the agenda for the evening, one minute intros of the attendees, the opportunity to pass out business cards & flyers & make quick announcements in your business/community events you may have, then giveaways will take place. (We will draw from your business cards thrown in a container (be sure to bring your business cards) and let people pick their prizes. **If you don't have a business card, take someone else's card and put your contact info on the back of their card if they don't have a double-sided card.** Then we will dive right into the game. We will end no later than 7:45 pm to determine who the winner is and then pack up, and be out by 8 pm at the latest.**IF YOU ARE SICK OF ANY KIND, please do NOT come to the event (regardless if you think it's a minor cold, flu, etc). I repeat it's no joking matter you can spread symptoms to others that are way worse, please stay home.**

Admission to this fun, educational, game to play which allows you to utilize and practice your marketing/selling skills useful in your career/life, networking, including the giveaways mentioned above, along with a portion going to the hourly room rental, it is $52.15 per person with a debit/credit card by TOMORROW, Sunday, August 25, 2019 at 5:30 pm. DISCOUNT DEAL: $44.87 with a debit/credit purchase for per person (for you and your guest) by TOMORROW, Sunday, August 25, 2019 at 5:30 pm.
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.

June's Featured business services

6/11/2019

June's 3 Featured Business Services that you can buy with a click of a button securely WITHOUT having to call, text, or email!

FEATURED BUSINESS SERVICE #1: Need an article or blog written for your business or in general (i.e. a newspaper or other publication or profile on a person)?

Purchase a 700 to 900 word article (approximately 2 -3.5 pages in Microsoft Word using "Candara" font type and size 14). This includes me performing the research or interview necessary to write the article along with two sets of edits prior to the final article. "Two sets of edits" is defined as you look at the first draft of the article that I submit to you via email and if there are corrections to make, I will make them and provide them to you in the next draft of the article. If there is still anything else that you want changed (edits wise), I will make them and provide to you and that will be the final draft. You are then free to purchase more edits from me (I will provide you an estimate before I proceed with making them) if you still want additional edits. Please note, that you are free to then post this article on your website, etc. but I would still have credit as me as the author wherever it's published.

It's $130.15 (that includes credit card/debit card processing fees that I don't benefit from). Again you'd CLICK THE LINK HERE: https://conta.cc/2R91Rmw and I do NOT see your card information. ***If you want to make other arrangements to make the payment via cash, check, or money order, you'd have to mail to: Carly Calabrese 18807 97th Avenue Court East Puyallup, WA 98375 and checks can be made out to: "Carly Calabrese" as well the amount would be $125 with NO debit/credit card processing fees and the same terms and conditions would apply if purchasing this way.***

This offer doesn't expire once you purchase it to use it, however, the deadline to purchase it is Sunday, June 30, 2019 at 11:55 pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) and you can purchase for yourself or someone else. No refunds under any circumstances.

FEATURED BUSINESS SERVICE #2: Need a business plan? Whether you've been in business for many years or are just starting out, you need one to keep you align with what's in your mind. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!" I will compile, write/edit, and assist with research, an up to 27-page business plan which will include: a cover page with your picture, business name, and other contact information, a table of contents, an executive summary, the marketing plan which consists of: the industry overview, competitive analysis, target markets, your marketing activities, pricing of your products & services, management plan, management team, external resources, advisory board, compensation, financial plan, financial overview, funding resources, and your resume and testimonials.

Please note that a resume is not included in this price quote so if you don't have a resume or need an updated one, we can discuss a resume price (they range based on experience level) and is a required piece of your business plan. Your testimonials I do not write for you, you would provide to me to compile into your business plan (i.e. if you've been hired from websites where people have written reviews you can take them from there) or start asking for people who have hired you to write some. Please note that the research to gather information such as your industry overview and competitive analysis is not found just using Google, but other proprietary resources and websites that I can help you with. Also, I do not set your prices or come up with ways to market your business (you can hire me for marketing consultation(s) if you need help determining how to market your business).

This business plan is $2,808.15 and that includes debit/credit card processing fees that I don't benefit from. Again you'd click you'd CLICK THE LINK HERE: https://conta.cc/2R91Rmw and I do NOT see your card information. ***If you want to make other arrangements to make the payment via cash, check, or money order, you'd have to mail to: Carly Calabrese 18807 97th Avenue Court East Puyallup, WA 98375 and checks can be made out to: "Carly Calabrese" as well the amount would be $2700 with no debit/credit card processing fees and the same terms and conditions would apply if purchasing this way.***

This offer doesn't expire once you purchase it to use it, however the deadline to purchase this offer is Sunday, June 30, 2019 at 11:55 pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) and you can purchase for yourself or someone else. No refunds under any circumstances.

FEATURED BUSINESS SERVICE #3: Need a letter of recommendation for a job, scholarship, volunteer position, etc? You know you're awesome, but if you want to stand out (actually be considered for jobs, volunteer positions, scholarships you're applying for you NEED to have letters of recommendation, the more the better). You NEED other people to discuss your strengths and how great you are. As always, it's not just about quantity, but quality AND quantity. :) A great resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, & having a persistent, professional, and great personality are NOT enough. Following up after applying is NOT enough.

If you're having problems getting quality letters of recommendation, getting one in general, or want to have an AWESOME one in addition to the others you already have, this would be perfect for you or someone else.

I will interview you, write the letter, and provide you with 2 sets of edits prior to the final letter of recommendation for you. "Two sets of edits" is defined as you look at the first draft of the letter that I submit to you via email and if there are corrections to make, I will make them and provide them to you in the next draft of the letter. If there is still anything else that you want changed (edits wise), I will make them and provide to you and that will be the final draft. You are then free to purchase more edits from me (I will provide you an estimate before I proceed with making them) if you still want additional edits.

Please note if I've never met you before and you need a letter of recommendation, it's an additional $105 charge for me to meet you in person at a time that we schedule for 60 minutes in which I can provide you some general conversational questions I will ask to get to know you as a person (this will be outside of the actual interview for the letter of recommendation) and can email them to you prior to the in-person meeting. We'd meet at the either the inside far right front of the Fred Meyer store next at the tables and chairs next to the INSIDE Starbucks stand located at: 17404 Meridian East Puyallup, WA 98375 OR at the South Hill Pierce County Library located at: 15420 Meridian E, Puyallup, WA 98375 and in the $105 charge that includes my travel fee to either of those places besides my time. If you'd be paying with a debit/credit card (which is THE LINK HERE: https://conta.cc/2R91Rmw, you'd add $109.35 because that's what the $105 charge is with credit/debit card processing fees I don't benefit from as well as the $141.59 charge below). If you do NOT want to pay debit/credit card, you can send the check, money order, or cash to me in the amount of $105 besides the $136 letter of recommendation rate below.

The letter of recommendation is $141.59 and that includes debit/credit card processing fees that I don't benefit from. Again you'd click you'd CLICK THE LINK HERE: https://conta.cc/2R91Rmw and I do NOT see your card information. ***If you want to make other arrangements to make the payment via cash, check, or money order, you'd have to mail to: Carly Calabrese 18807 97th Avenue Court East Puyallup, WA 98375 and checks can be made out to: "Carly Calabrese" as well the amount would be $136 with no debit/credit card processing fees and the same terms and conditions would apply if purchasing this way.***

OFFER EXPIRES TODAY, FRI. 5/31/19 AT 11:55 PM PST

5/31/2019

Greetings!

I wanted to thank you for your support with my handmade felt roses that I did for Mother's Day just for fun. I sold 49. I have 5 red roses (pictured below) leftover for anyone who is still interested. Again, they are rose scented with rose oil and are $5 each. $5.35 each if paying with debit/credit card (that's the processing fee that I don't benefit from). Be sure to scroll below the two rose pictures to see 3 featured business services this month that you can purchase with the click of a button literally click the button that reads "Buy Now" to purchase these 3 featured business services and the roses.

Individual red rose up close in the sunlight.

The red roses shown in vases pictured above.

MAY'S FEATURED BUSINESS SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO CALL/TEXT/OR EMAIL!

Featured Business Service #1: Need your resume reviewed, resume help, and potentially other career help? Some examples of career help: cover letter assistance, help determining what career path to take, LinkedIn assistance, job leads, interview question practice, and other employment paperwork (i.e. letters of recommendation and reference listings).

Purchase a 30 minute phone consultation in which we will discuss your one resume that I will have reviewed and proposed my recommendations for we will also discuss your job seeker questionnaire which I have you fill out prior to the consultation which consists of 9 questions so I can get a better idea of your career needs so that at the consultation I can provide you price quote(s) and we can both ask and answer any questions (if we feel we are a good fit, we can proceed in the next step with working with each other). If not, you'll have a better idea of what you need and recommendations on how to improve your resume.

It's $78.15 to purchase the 30 minute consultation described above as well as your one resume review & job seeker form now (that includes credit card/debit card processing fees that I don't benefit from). ****THE LINK BELOW IS HOW YOU CAN ACCESS THE PURPLE "BUY NOW" BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF MY NEWSLETTER LINK: https://conta.cc/2I56MAA****

This offer doesn't expire once you purchase it to use it, however, the deadline to purchase it is THIS Friday, May 31st at 11:55 pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) and you can purchase for yourself or someone else. Please note that if more time is needed than 30 minutes, you will be billed at a rate of $2 per minute and that will be due upon the completion of the call. Credit card processing fee will apply, so an additional 10 minutes for example is $20 and with credit card processing fee it'd be $20.95.

Featured Business Service #2: Should you start a business? This is a 25 question test with simply answering with a "Yes" or "No" response. Many people who are unsure whether or not if they should start a business should take this test. Even though there's no guaranteed success formula for making someone a successful entrepreneur, there are certain characteristics and personality traits. This quiz will help you evaluate whether starting a business fits well with your personality and skills. Use it to explore your “business fitness,” but remember it is just a rough guide. Most successful entrepreneurs have weaknesses or gaps in one or more areas—the trick is to recognize these gaps early and either acquire those skills or work with other people who can fill them.

This test is $91.59 and that includes tax & debit/credit card processing fees that I don't benefit from. The test also includes a 10 minute follow up de-brief phone call (if you want to ask questions/discuss further) if more than 10 minutes is needed, you will be billed at a rate of $2 per minute and that will be due upon the completion of the phone call. I'd advise skipping the follow up phone call if you have no intentions of putting the time as 10 minutes isn't long to go over the results. Even if you email me your questions you'd like to discuss before the phone call, it's a waste of my time to prepare my recommendations if you're not willing to go over the 10 minutes to get my expert opinion. This offer doesn't expire once you purchase it to use it, however the deadline to purchase this offer is THIS Friday, May 31st at 11:55 pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) and you can purchase for yourself or someone else. ****THE LINK BELOW IS HOW YOU CAN ACCESS THE PURPLE "BUY NOW" BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF MY NEWSLETTER LINK: https://conta.cc/2I56MAA****

Featured Business Service #3: Should you be an entrepreneur? This test is a 20 question test with each question being a statement that you either select "Yes" or "No" to. You may know business owners yourself. Heck, even former President Obama is talking about doing it. There are strong internal drivers that compel people to create their own business. Be honest with yourself when taking this test — remember the worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

This test is $85.88 and that includes tax & debit/credit card processing fees that I don't benefit from. The test also includes a 10 minute follow up de-brief phone call (if you want to ask questions/discuss further) if more than 10 minutes is needed, you will be billed at a rate of $2 per minute and that will be due upon the completion of the phone call. I'd advise skipping the follow up phone call if you have no intentions of putting the time as 10 minutes isn't long to go over the results. Even if you email me your questions you'd like to discuss before the phone call, it's a waste of my time to prepare my recommendations if you're not willing to go over the 10 minutes to get my expert opinion. This offer doesn't expire once you purchase it, however the deadline to purchase this offer is THIS Friday, May 31st at 11:55 pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) and you can purchase for yourself or someone else.

These are the roses she wants for Mother's Day...

5/7/2019

Greetings!

As many may know, Mother's Day is THIS Sunday (5 days away). Whether you have a mother or not, that special woman/women in your life you should celebrate (even if they aren't mothers). A big Christian church downtown Puyallup I had attended, the preacher had said that we are supposed to celebrate women on Mother's Day (even if they are not actual mothers).

I have made NEW and IMPROVED handmade felt roses than the ones I made years ago. These are rose scented with rose oil, they have nice bright colored green sturdy stems, and I have new dark pink colored roses with a hint of sparkle (glitter) built into the felt (which years ago I never did another color than red).

They are for sale for $5 each if paying with U.S. cash, check, or money order, and $5.35 each if paying with a debit/credit card (that includes the debit card processing fee I don't benefit from).

These make great Mother's Day gifts as they won't wilt, make a mess, don't need to be watered, stay looking beautiful year round for the years to come, and don't look like tacky cheap plastic flowers that can be bought at Walmart.

Again, a rose/roses can be given to not just mothers, but lovers, brothers, family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, etc "just because".

You can see the pictures below in this newsletter.

I am taking pre-orders now meaning you will make payment to me to secure your rose/roses as I am meeting with a spa owner within less than an hour who is interested in them along with 2 networking groups I will have them available for sale at tomorrow, Wednesday, 5/8 that you can come to (even if you don't want to stay for the networking meeting).

Three opportunities you can meet me in person to pick up your roses:

Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 8th 2 pm to 4 pm free women's networking meeting at the back meeting room of the Red Elm Cafe located at: 1114 M.L.K. Jr Way, Tacoma, WA 98405. Coordinate in advance with me if you don't want to miss me.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 8th 6 pm at the networking group at the Poodle Dog restaurant located at: 1522 54th Ave E, Fife, WA 98424. Judson Forks, owner of Simple Upgrade Computers (a computer support technician and security business owner) will be speaking a half hour about security. His advertisement said the meeting goes until 9 pm, and I won't be staying there that long, so coordinate with me in ADVANCE if you plan to meet me there to pick up your rose(s) and how many.
THIS Saturday, May 11th from 11 am to 4:45 pm I will be at the Costco located at: 1201 39th Ave SW, Puyallup, WA 98373 with my last day of my temporary contract selling Fitbit watches. Again, coordinate with me in ADVANCE if you plan to pick up your rose(s) then so that you can find me, don't catch me when I am at lunch, and/or we don't miss each other.

If none of those dates/times work for you, be sure to contact me as soon as possible so that we can coordinate another arrangement for your rose(s). Thank you! Happy Mother's Day!

THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SEND YOUR REFERRALS TO MEET ME IN PERSON!

5/2/2019

Greetings!

I was recently contacted by a lady that I connected with on LinkedIn to meet me and "have coffee" with me since she may need some writing services. I had another gal recently on Meetup suggest we meet for "coffee"as we could be good "referral partners." I have had two referrals who informed me that they don't speak very good English, one even said he wanted to meet in person if he was going to do business with me.

I know of another woman who was referred to me for networking purposes back during the snow storm we had since she was a small business owner as well and she wasn't able to come to any of the three events that I invited her to that I would be at.

My point of sharing these examples is that if there is ANYONE you want me to meet in person and/or who wants to meet me in person before they decide to hire me for career coaching, business marketing, writing, editing, and/or LinkedIn services and/or before they will start referring business to me, have them meet me for FREE, no obligation this coming Saturday, May 4th from 11 am to 4:45 pm, Sunday, May 5th 11 am to 4:45 pm, and Saturday, May 11th from 11 am to 4:45 pm at the Costco located at: 1201 39th Ave SW, Puyallup, WA 98373.

I will be standing next to the Fitbit devices and selling them and wearing a Fitbit polo shirt and name tag that reads: "Carly C." This is a temporary position that I was contacted for and since it doesn't affect my business, I decided to do especially since it helps out for taxes (recall the self-employment tax business owners have to pay yearly). You won't miss me because I am near the front entrance of Costco on the left past the Direct Tv salesperson next to the portable air conditioners and Fitbit devices. I was contacted to sell Fitbit devices since Mother's Day is coming up (as you know), on Sunday, May 12th. If for whatever reason, you don't see me, I maybe at my half hour lunch which I take halfway through my shift, so I would advise contacting me BEFOREHAND to inform me what hour/time you'd plan to come so that I can look out for you and/if you've never met me before, have the person you're referring to me text me on my cell: 360-981-7463 if I am at lunch so that I can let them know when I will be returning.

Also, make sure to bring your "coffee" and/or other beverage of your choice so that you can chat with me and get to know me in a low pressure way. :) So, those are 3 dates with wide time windows for you and your referrals to come "meet me in person" for free. Please be respectful and not show up at 4:45 pm when my shift is over on any of those dates and be sure to allow for plenty of time.

This can also be your opportunity to bring to me any monopoly tickets from Safeway/Albertsons that you want to donate to me and want to save on the postage of snail mailing to me at: Carly Calabrese 18807 97th Avenue Court East Puyallup, WA 98375. This past Monday, I had given a homeless vet man across from the Nature Center at the Fred Meyer in Tacoma, a bavarian cream donut and potato hot dog buns from monopoly winnings, then an elder homeless man at the corner of the Canyon off ramp freeway in Puyallup a can of French green beans and potato hot dog buns, and another elder homeless man a bag of guacamole chips (they are super delicious!) who was at the corner of Walgreens on Canyon in Puyallup (all were from monopoly winnings except the guacamole chips). Thank you in advance for your support. All 3 homeless men were very grateful. Last Friday, I saw the same homeless woman at the Fred Meyer across from the Nature Center in Tacoma that I had given the Organics animal crackers (monopoly winnings) and gave her a mixed fruit cocktail can (no can opener needed) and a pack of hamburger buns (from monopoly winnings).
