<p><strong>It’s YOUR Turn!</strong></p>
<p>Good afternoon Illuminated Women and Men! What an incredible weekend we had at Ignite Your Spark 2010 full of laughter, tears, and sharing.  Thank you for answering the call and igniting the spark that is changing our world, one woman, one man, and one spirit at a time. I am honored to have been there to share it with you.</p>
<p>I have several pieces of exciting news to share with you. First, congratulations to Patrice F. and Elise W., the winners of our drawing and raffle.  Each of these women has received a one-on-one coaching package, including three one-hour sessions of either personal or executive coaching.</p>
<p>Because It’s YOUR Turn:  Special Offer on Personal or Executive Coaching</p>
<p>There was much excitement and many requests about coaching packages, so here’s a special offer to all who attended the Illuminated Woman Conference. This three-session coaching package is normally priced at $525, but is being discounted by $100-$150 for those who attended the conference.<br />
In order to devote time to each person being coached, this package is being offered to the first 10 people who respond.</p>
<p>There are two options available:<br />
<strong><br />
Package A</strong></p>
<p>Three one-hour in-person coaching sessions   $395</p>
<p><strong>Package B</strong></p>
<p>Three one-hour coaching sessions; one in-person and two by phone $345</p>
<p>Please contact me by phone or e-mail at the information below to take advantage of this offer and schedule your coaching sessions.</p>
<p><strong>~ Follow-Up Seminar: The Energy of Money ~</strong></p>
<p>I was inspired by the response to the break-out session “The Energy of Money.” Based on your feedback, I am excited to be planning for a full-day seminar. This will be a<br />
hands-on, interactive seminar that will provide you the opportunity to explore further how you hold the energy of money and the impact your emotions have on the inflow and outflow of financial abundance in your life. Watch your e-mail or <a href="http://www.nicolesherman.com" target="_blank">check out my website</a> for upcoming details on this full-day seminar.</p>
<p>This past weekend was the beginning of many miracles, and I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to have shared the time with you.  Thank you for being open,<br />
for tuning in, and for creating the ripple. It’s YOUR turn!</p>
<p>Always and In All Ways,</p>
<p>Nicole</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Being a business owner is a lot of hard work (and a lot of rewards when we are in our passion). When I started my businesses officially in 2006, I was amazed at what I didn&#8217;t know that I didn&#8217;t know. I didn&#8217;t have an MBA or really know the first step to starting a business. I just had a passion and some corporate experience to start with.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a self-taught entrepreneur with a passion for what I love and a commitment to learn what I don&#8217;t know. Additionally, I have a commitment to share my learned knowledge with other entrepreneurs so they don&#8217;t have to learn the hard way like I did. One area of business that has made the biggest difference is to get a great accounting and bookkeeping foundation. You have to know your numbers in order to see where you are.</p>
<p>A great resource I have found is <strong><a href="http://www.cameronassociatesinc.com" target="_blank">Cameron &amp; Associates, Inc.</a> </strong>They are down-t0-earth, personable, incredibly knowledgeable and do a great job of education their clients. As an entrepreneur, when a vendor takes the time to educate me while doing a great job at what they do best, I am hooked. When I asked CEO and owner, Marvin Cameron, what tips he has for entrepreneurs as we near the end of the year, this is what he recommended:</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></span>Remember, “Tax Planning”  must occur before the year ends.  The opportunity for most deductions and tax saving strategies occur prior to December 31<sup>st</sup>.  Therefore, now is the time to review your income and expenses with your tax advisor.</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span>If you are currently renting and are trying to decide whether or not buying a home is right for you, now may be the ideal time to buy for several reasons.  One of those reasons, if you meet the qualifications, is that you may be able to receive $8,000.00 in cash from the government. Consult your tax advisor for details.</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"> </span>If you are considering or need to upgrade certain items in your home, purchasing before the year-end may be beneficial.  Certain energy efficient products may be eligible for a credit on your taxes of up to $1,500.00.  Consult your tax advisor for qualifying items.</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"> </span>If you own a business and are considering purchasing new equipment for the company, the government currently has several different tax incentives in place.  Consult your tax advisor for what is right for you.</li>
