Networking in Your PJ’s
Powerful You! Women’s Network
Introduces “Tele-Network™"

Wayne, NJ – February, 2006 A powerful new concept in networking your business comes to you direct from the offices of Powerful You!, Inc. of Wayne, NJ. It’s called the Powerful You! Women’s Tele-Network™ and it’s a brand new, nationwide venue for business growth.

Tele-Network™ is a Virtual Network Meeting. Attendees will call in to a conference line from anywhere in the country or anywhere in the world, and connect with other women from the comfort of their home, car or office. “You can’t beat the convenience.” says Dale Schock, founder of Toxin-Free Basics and a charter member of Powerful You! Women’s Network. “I might even get on the calls in my pajamas and my toxin-free face mask.”

Tele-Network™ meetings will be conducted much like the in-person Powerful You! Women’s Network meetings. Each attendee will have an opportunity to give a 30-second personal promotion (aka commercial). During this time, the attendee will provide information about her business, products or services. Since the meetings are not face-to-face and there is not an opportunity to exchange business cards, attendees will be provided the contact information of all attendees after the meeting. Women on the call may then reach out to those women who they would like to connect with, do business with and refer others to.

Also, during the hour-long Tele-Network™ Meeting, a speaker will provide an insightful, educational talk on a strategic business or personal growth topic. Topics for the presentations will include marketing, branding, business growth strategies, attracting customers, business etiquette, self-development, personal development, spirituality in business and much more.

Says our inaugural speaker, Jennifer Connell of Joyful Evolution, a Deepak Chopra certified instructor on The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success about Tele-Network™, “This is a very exciting opportunity for women entrepreneurs around the globe to support and empower each other simply by picking up the telephone… I love the convenience and I love the concept. Anyone who desires to grow their business should participate on these calls!”

Perhaps the most unique part of the meetings will be the final two segments where attendees will be asked to share “Business Growth and Everyday Gratitude”. “The sharing of business growth allows for two really important things to happen.” says Sue Urda, Co-Founder of Powerful You! “First, it gives the women a place to celebrate their growth with others. As entrepreneurs and women, we often have private victories and celebrations of our successes, so it feels great to share and celebrate with others. Second, by hearing the successes of others, the attendees may get some ideas for growth to use in their own business.”

At the conclusion of the meetings, there is time for a gratitude share. “At our in-person meetings, when we ask the group to share gratitude, it is amazing how beautiful and light the space becomes. I expect that the sharing of gratitude on the Tele-Network™ calls will create much the same feelings of joy, love, peace and success within the group.” says Kathy Fyler, Co-Founder of Powerful You!

Tele-Network™ meetings take place twice monthly on Thursdays. One call is at 12:00pm EST and one is at 8:00pm EST to accommodate the varying time schedules of busy entrepreneurs and working women. Registration and details are available on the Powerful You! website at www.powerfulyou.com.

Networking groups have become increasingly popular over the last few years. Businesses have found that networking is a cost effective way to market their products and services. Advertising and direct mail work when they are properly developed, however there is no substitute for “people to people” connections. People don’t do business with companies, people do business with people they know, like and trust. Network meetings provide the venue for people to get to know something about other people so they feel good about doing business with them and referring them to others. The founders expect that the Tele-Network™ meetings will assist in the development of many fruitful, long-lasting and mutually beneficial business relationships.

The Tele-Network™ meetings are open to women all over the country, both members and non-members alike. Because of the innovative concept and the fact that meetings are free of charge, the founders expect the meetings to be completely full and filled with lots of positive energy.

Since its inception in January, 2005, Powerful You! has served women mostly in northern and central NJ. Over the past few months the group has expanded its reach to include meetings in Pennsylvania, Florida and Alabama. “Adding the Tele-Network™ meetings seems like the next logical step.” says Sue Urda.

Powerful You! Is poised for growth, and it’s founders know just how to do it. Sue and Kathy previously owned a company that was honored in 2002 by Inc. 500 Magazine as one of the country’s Fastest Growing Private Companies. They have an entrepreneurial spirit and expect the group to grow to over 1,000 members and 100 chapters in 2006.

“We have a good start and a system in place that is positioned for rapid expansion”, says Ms. Urda. “We are currently in 4 states and are planning meetings in a dozen other states right now. We welcome the opportunity to connect with any woman who understands the benefits of networking and is interested in starting a chapter to connect the women of her community. It’s really exciting. We have a big year ahead of us.”
