Mad Props to the Mentors!

Mad Props to the Mentors!

Struggling with some ad copy for a one-sheet, I reached out to the Mentor Program from Make Mine a $Million Business, www.makemineamillion,org, and Count Me In, www.countmein.org. Mega Mentor Margery Miller http://francine-glick-cmi.blogspot.com/ hooked me up with Paige Dawson, http://www.arkonas.com/About%20Us/paigedawson.html, a marketing specialist in Dallas.

Because I'd done so much writing about mediation, I'd just gotten too close to it to be able to do a good job, and I really wanted to make a good impression with this piece.

Margery hooked me up with Paige Dawson at MPD Ventures in Dallas (www.mpdventures.com) and Paige took the time to review my proposed copy, interview me on the phone, and then she sent me completely revised text along with some guidance for the graphic designer......she really came through for me. She went above and beyond what I'd even asked for, and I could not be more pleased. She was a huge, huge help.

The One Sheet, http://www.provisors.com/members/1sheets/Mercer-Diana.pdf was designed by Commercial Artisan, a design firm in Indianapolis, IN (my hometown), www.commercialartisan.com.

I sent Paige some Apple's Bakery http://www.applesbakery.com/ cookies to thank her, but I wanted to let the world know how terrific she was and how much the mentor connection via Make Mine a $Million Business helped me.

I've got to tell you, it's so nice not to be alone anymore in growing this business. Having a place to turn, and a cohort of 20 plus $Millionaires, to ask advice, talk about ideas, and to turn to when things get scary is really, really nice.

THANK YOU!

Here’s a link to the one sheet draft is attached in case you're curious! http://www.provisors.com/members/1sheets/Mercer-Diana.pdf
