A big thank you to everyone that has helped us make such great strides in one year! Read full press release here. We're looking forward to another great year of creating connections!

And it was actually through working my own connections that I was introduced to Debbie Allen, international business speaker, bestselling author and motivational movie star. Debbie is one of the world's leading authorities on sales, marketing and effective self-promotion and she happens to live in AZ! I was very excited when Debbie called me to tell me about her latest project, Millionaire Entrepreneur Summit. This powerful 3-day event will give you the business skills required to build massive success and you'll be learning from people that have done it themselves. Interested? We're giving away 6 free tickets. Reply to this email with subject line 'Millionaire' and we'll enter you into our random drawing.

A HUGE thank you to our photographer, Glenn Mire, of Mire Images for working on a tight deadline and getting my professional headshots done! I had to turn in a high-res photo for the '35 entrepreneurs under 35' award and because I procrastinated on getting a professional photo done, I didn't have one! Don't find yourself in a similar situation - contact Glenn today to get yours done. If you want to see some photos from the shoot, visit the album on our Facebook Fan Page.
