If you are a business owner/operator, consultant or anyone who only eats what you kill (no matter who is writing the check), then this event will help accelerate beyond your business plan and show you how to turn cards into cash, customers into your cheerleaders by operating as a business owner and not as an employee.[/text_block]

[text_block style=”undefined” align=”left” font_size=”14″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_color=”%23515151″ left_padding=”50″]Greetings!

My name is Donna Smith Bellinger and I am a professional speaker, entrepreneur, business strategist, author and Adjunct (Business and Entrepreneurship) at Columbia College (Chicago).

I help dedicated business owner / operators to accelerate their growth through proven  processes to consistently generate leads, up-level customer service and achieve consistent cash flow, using my 5 step “Donnatize to Monetize” process.

I have been doing this work privately for years (with both large and small firms); a few of which are listed below.

  • Over this 3-­day event, you’ll learn how to monetize your expertise through SPEAKING for lead generation, sales and marketing.
  • You’ll learn how to book more speaking engagements in front of your ideal target audience to drive new business.
  • You’ll learn to create and fill your own events – big or small – and monetize them in a big way.
  • You’ll learn how to book more speaking engagements in front of your ideal target audience, to drive new business.
  • You’ll learn to create and fill your own events – big or small – and monetize them in a big way.
  • Finally (and perhaps most importantly,) you’ll uncover new hidden revenue streams in your business that will allow you to work less and make more (AKA: The Holy Grail of Business).

[text_block style=”undefined” align=”left” font_size=”14″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_color=”%23515151″ left_padding=”50″]At age 18, I was on my own with a child to support and it became obvious to me that just getting by was not going to cut it.  Without mentors available to guide me, I broke into my first management career at 22 years of age and made a name for myself in educational sales, then corporate sales and eventually co-founding my own technology firm.

Yes there have been mistakes and missteps, but I’ve always been failing UP!

The person who was told she would never amount to anything made it from homeless to the boardroom, is a sought after mentor for multi-million dollar firms, teaches at the collegiate level is an international speaker.

My passion? Helping others to shorten their learning curve by sharing the information that they don’t teach from books.

I have spent years learning how to create revenue generating sales tactics and teams, developing and leveraging profit busting relationships, and now I’ll be teaching YOU how to do it too – over 3 days – at Accelerate Beyond the Business Plan Retreat.

This is a TRAINING event, not a motivational one (though you no doubt WILL be motivated). I’ll be delivering high level content over 3 solid days- you will be making pitches and presentations; networking and creating the foundation necessary for your Revenue Acceleration. It’s intense. So we only have room for those who are committed to making 2016 their best year ever![/text_block]

[text_block style=”undefined” align=”center” font_size=”18″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_style=”bold” font_color=”%238c2644″]What You’ll Learn at the Accelerate Beyond the Business Plan Retreat:[/text_block]
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”14″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_color=”%23515151″ left_padding=”50″]During this 3­day event I will personally take you through the essential steps for creating a business that serves YOU – rather than you killing yourself day in and day out with no measurable results (aka $$).

There are the main components to what we’ll cover:

How to get more clients.  Creating the identity, team and process you need to make your wildest dreams come true.  After all you didn’t start your business with the intention of working hard forever. You have to learn to ditch the noise of information overload so that you can focus on what is right for YOU and your vision.  Not copying someone else.

How to sell MORE to your clients. Creating the team and processes that will help you expand and grow.

How to create a consist stream of referrals to grow your business. The cheapest advertising is referrals.  How to get those you serve help provide a steady stream of the type of clients you really want to service.

Stop wondering and take ACTION. What are you waiting for, an invitation? Consider this IT.[/text_block]

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”14″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_color=”%23515151″ left_padding=”50″]I am going to share with you lessons learned through my 30 + years in business as well as those I share in the classroom. This is not just talk; we will be creating your individual plan for your 2016 success far beyond the “hopes” you put on paper when you created your plan.  This is your roadmap to revenue acceleration.

My goal is to make this event an event where EVERYONE can walk away with a PLAN OF ACTION to create more opportunities, more income and more IMPACT in their business and their global community.[/text_block]

[text_block style=”undefined” align=”center” font_size=”18″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_style=”bold” font_color=”%238c2644″]Why Should You Sign Up Right Now?[/text_block]
[text_block style=”undefined” align=”left” font_size=”14″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_color=”%23515151″ left_padding=”50″]Simply put, space is super limited. I am inly accepting 10 people in this retreat.

Once we reach 10, we’re shutting down registrations. That’s it.

Though I love big events, a huge room with an enormous audience is simply not the right environment for the kind of in-depth work we’re going to do over these 3 days. Again, this is a TRAINING event.

I’ll be delivering my very best content in a “workshop” style format over 3 solid days, and for that, I prefer a more intimate audience, plain and simple.

For this to work, for you to walk away with your roadmap for 2016 success, and get all your questions answered, I only have room for 10 business owners who are committed to stepping up their game… Seriously committed.

Act NOW, so you don’t 1) have to pay more for your ticket (prices go up to $997 soon), or 2) have to wait until my schedule opens again to learn how to accelerate your business beyond the business plan.

I will be presenting at the George Fraser PowerNetworking 2016 conference and I know that my time for doing this type of event is going to become very limited!

Hey! What are you waiting for? Just DO this![/text_block]

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”center” font_size=”18″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_color=”%23515151″]

Early Price – Limited Time Only – $797

[/text_block]

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”center” font_size=”14″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_color=”%23515151″]Prices increase to $997 midnight January 29th – Act NOW!!

 

[/text_block]

[text_block style=”undefined” align=”center” font_size=”14″ font_font=”Open%20Sans” font_color=”%23515151″ left_padding=”50″]In order to be considered you must have a Revenue Acceleration conversation with me (30 minutes – NO COST to make sure this is the right investment for you.)

For me it’s not the money – It’s the Results! We have to be a fit.

You’ll get 3 days full of strategies and tactics and access to my hand­picked resources to help you to grow your business. No vendor booths or pitch-fests.

You’ll go home with a personalized roadmap to make more money in your business, and you’ll know exactly what to do on Monday.

This event is easily worth an investment of $2997 or more (ask my clients).

But you can attend Accelerate Beyond Your Business Plan for the “early bird” price of only $797 until midnight January 29th,

then the investment goes up to the regular price of $997.[/text_block]
