Ready?...Set...TV!

You’ve got great ideas, are passionate about what you do, and want to get the word out. TV seems like a great opportunity and it is. But the truth is, it takes way more than that to get it on TV. And even more to get results from your appearance.

If you do get the opportunity to pitch yourself to a producer, would you make one of the the three biggest mistakes amateurs make? Do you know what successful guests know?

Are You Delivering Killer Content? Or Is Your Content Killing You?

Doing the things everyone tells you to do to get on TV doesn't really work. Doing those things doesn't give the producers what they want.

Here are the Top 3 Reasons Producers Reject Potential First-Time Guests:
1. The topics suggested are stale. Or worse yet, no story ideas are suggested at all.
2. The ideas lack visual interest and interaction.
3. The Producer's work-load and time constraints are ignored.

Each TV appearance is a make or break opportunity. The biggest single TV opportunity killer is bad delivery. This is what it looks like to go on TV without preparation

Here is another example. The guest's speech impediment can be overlooked. Her real offence is the delivery and incongrous image.

Be-YOU-Tiful Workshop Series

Is an image evolution your New Year's resolution? Or is it time for an image REVOLUTION? Confused about your style and clueless about how to put together a great look? Want to loose 15 pounds without suffering through another diet? Or just want to be more comfortable and authentic?

You are not your wardrobe! But like it or not, people judge you based on your appearance. With the pace of life, putting others first, and changing bodies, it's easy to get into ruts and habits that camouflage your beauty. Elements that are often missing are style, foundation, authenticity, flattery, accessories, and makeup that really works.

The Be-YOU-tiful Series is designed to assist women entrepreneurs and leaders in adding these pieces to what is already working. Attend all six sessions or just choose a few that are interesting to you. Click here for more info...
