Happy July!

With Independence Day (in the U.S.) just around the corner, you’re probably going to see a lot of promotions about declaring your ______ independence — each promotions filling in their own blank.

I promise not to do that.

But what I will do is announce a few changes that are happing here at the Women’s Business Gallery.

1. A slight change in focus: When I first took over the Gallery, the focus was on information and resources for starting and managing your business. After a little more that six months, I’ve decided that’s not enough. For your business to thrive and be sustainable, you have to love your business. So, I’ve added that key component to what I cover here at the Gallery. Now I offer information and resources to start and manage a business you love.

2. The Portraits Program has bee canceled: I found it increasingly difficult to schedule monthly teleseminars and then have only one or two people show up for them. So, the Monthly Portrait Series as been shelved. This doesn’t mean the Gallery won’t offer teleseminars in the future, it just means the focus and purpose will be different.

3. The Women’s Business Gallery University is now open: Look at the top navigation bar and you’ll see a new page called “WBGU.” This is the just launched Women’s Business Gallery University, a place where a suite of focused e-course will be offered that train students on a wide variety of business topics. As of the launch, only two classes are available: Infopreneurship 101, which is a re-launch of the Gallery’s original Infopreneuring 101 e-course; and Affiliate Marketing Master Course, a comprehensive course, with accompanying e-zine, that focuses on attaining success in affiliate marketing.

If you have any ideas or requests for more e-courses, please send them to me at info@womens-business-gallery.com.

4. A new opt-in report and squeeze-page for new visitors: Go to www.womensbusinessgallery.com and you’ll see a new squeeze page for the Gallery where I offer a new lead generation report. If you would like to recommend the Gallery to any of your friends or colleagues, please send them to that page so they’ll be sure to get the free report. There is also a link to this page here on the blog in the upper right-hand corner. (See the big, red “FREE”?)

As always, I’m totally open to your suggestions and ideas to further improve the Women’s Business Gallery. Send me your comments and suggestions at info@womens-business-gallery.com.
