Big news! As of June 1, there will be no more new annual memberships at the DIY, because annual membership is being phased out.
What this means to you:
If you already have a month-to-month membership, nothing will change in 2019. You're good. Relax.
If your membership is annual, nothing will change until your renewal date. At that time, you have the following options:
1. Standard membership, $10/month. Includes prepaid access to the monthly marketing webinar, access to the membersite, member pricing on coaching.
2. Standard + local meetings membership, $19.97/month. Includes all above plus prepaid access to the monthly on-site Mastermind meeting and marketing seminar.
3. Premium all access membership, $97/month. Includes all above plus prepaid access to weekly Action Calls, the Marketing Coaching Calls, and the virtual Mastermind meeting.
All pricing and membership levels are valid through 2019. As of January 2020, the DIY Vancouver office will close. From then on, all services will be virtual. Yep, virtual marketing coaching. But more on that later.
For memberships renewing in 2020 (and for those with local access), the new monthly options will be announced in November.
You may have questions. Email me or post in the DIY Support Facebook group. We'll get through this, together.
Warmly,
Ronnie Noize

NO DIY Events: May 27-31, 2019
No group events scheduled this week due to Memorial Day, and because it is the fifth week of the month (it happens). I know, how weird is that?

Cool news: I am working on a project with the City of Vancouver and the Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce to support local businesses.
There are lots of programs at the GVCC for local businesses, and I'm facilitating two of them. The great news is that even if your business isn't in Vancouver (like Portland or Camas), you are welcome to participate.
First, there's the Idea to Launch Startup Workshop, a 10-week business class starting Monday, May 20. You will create a business plan and investor pitch (helpful in marketing) in the class. Only $199; full scholarships available to Vancouver residents who qualify.
Learn more now at http://tiny.cc/sbap008
Second, a 6-session on-site Mastermind group starting on June 13. We meet for 90 minutes on the second and fourth Thursdays through August. Only $149; registration here.
Got questions? Let's talk! You know I'm at 360-882-1298.

Have you taken this networking training yet? This is the penultimate session of Networking for Newbies in 2019.
Based on my plans for 2020, that means Friday is the second-to-last session for a very long time! No charge for members, and you can bring a friend as your guest.
Are you confused about how to set your prices? Do you struggle with charging enough to be profitable?
Stop wondering and worrying about pricing, because in this masterclass you will learn:
the top 5 pricing strategies for profitability (and which is right for your business)
the secret to designing packages that sell
how to turn your business into a money-making machine
Join me on Friday from 12-1:30 PM at the DIY office for the seminar version of this class. Can't make it? The webinar version is coming next week, so you're covered.

Hearing the same things in different ways allows the information to integrate more fully. After listening to you, I am ever more understanding of the dance between listening and sharing. When you speak, there is the intertwining of your years of experience. I am gradually learning the various pieces that you put together so skillfully and gracefully.

Good gracious, I'd read quite a few marketing books and took notes, but then all I had was a computer file with a lot of notes. Now, after your one-hour class--and the Friday deadline--I actually wrote it down and even went through some of those notes while I did it. Wow. I can't believe I did it! Thanks so much, Ronnie. You're terrific!" ~Julie McDonald Zander, Chapters of Life Memory Books, www.chaptersoflife.com
