Are you at 8,000 yet?

A few hours ago I was approving the newest members on my social network, Black Business Women Online, and I realized we have officially reached the 8,037 members! I can remember when there were no members, when there were a handful of members and now look where we are. Where are you today? Have you reached your 8,000 …. sales goal, dollar goal, subscribers goal, traffic goal? I just wanted you to take a moment and think about the goals you have set for yourself and how far you have come. My magic numbers for pretty much everything I do are 5,000 and 10,000. In some cases I know I’ve passed my goals and for others, I’ve got a ways to go but I’m gonna keep going and so should you!

You may or may not know this, but I’ve gotten this far pretty much on my own, without any real investment capital, sponsors, or direction. I say all that to say that, not having things never stopped me from creating things and getting this far. I’ve learned so much about stepping out on faith and starting up online and I hope over these past years I’ve been able to share my knowledge with you. If you want to pick my brain and find out how I built my social following, my buzz, and my business online go grab my Money and Marketing Guide. I’m so excited about reaching 8,000 and helping you reach your goal I’ve created a new promo code for this guide. It is UMM50OFF. This code will give the first 50 who use it 50$ off the guide.

I never thought BBWO could get to 8,000+ members without outside help. I never knew I was going to get quoted in Essence or become a Disney Magical Mocha Mom … I just knew if I kept learning, growing, and going … everything would work out. If nothing else, I hope that’s something I can help you learn as well.

Money and Marketing Guide includes eBooks and Videos on Selling on Social Networks, Finding Customers, Social Media Marketing, and building your buzz online. url: http://ecourses.webtechgurl.com
