Good afternoon,
I'm happy to have taken the time to become a member of the For You Network.
Furthermore, I've visited several meetings in the Long Beach area prior to
becoming a member. What a wonderful group of women I have met through this organization. Myra Wallace is an exceptionally strong woman who has
enriched my life with her book and online magazine. Ms. Myra not only is a
great Director for your organization but a wealth of knowledge, strength and
beauty. What a great woman. I'm looking forward to meeting other
exceptional women who care from the heart. It's my pleasure to say I'm a
member of the For You Network Organization.
Best regards,

Thanks again to the EST Team and Mayra for a fun filled evening in Long Beach!
God Bless!

What a wonderful event that the For YOU Est Team did last night. The room was filled with dynamic members and prospective members and all were such awesome dynamic women with heart.
What a great group of people that SHOWED UP, it was wonderful to reconnect with people that I had not seen for awhile, and to meet all the new people that attended and to welcome all the new people that joined as well last night, as to meet the new dynamic director of the new Long Beach Lunch group and the many new members she brought and who joined.
The food was great and SHIRLEY KERR a corporate founder and member from the EST Board did an awesome job. She was assisted by the other corporate board members Gisella Thomas and Linda Cassidy all whom helped to make last nights event terrific along with the Long Beach dinner connected headed by Myra Wallace Director, who two years ago I recommended to her that she step into a directors slot which she did and has been a terrific FY Director and also a great friend.
For those of you that missed it, the next time EST does one of these events be sure and put it at the top of your priority list.
Fannie and I drove from the Inland Empire and we found a beautiful restaurant, and a well planned event for all of us, we met so many great people and as I said reconnected with others that we had not seen for awhile. For You is 8 years old so there is some great history and people that have made the organization what it is today.
To make it so perfect as it was required lots of work by Shirley, Gisella and Linda who are your EST Team that make things happen for our For You Networks along with the support of all the directors and their members.
It was a fantastic evening and I just want to thank them for a job well done, I encourage all of you to SHOW UP at your meetings, support your directors and support the EST Team as to make an organization run and grow takes lots of time and effort.
Thank you Shirley, Gisella and Linda for a job well done. I also wish to thank the members from Murrieta and South Orange County who SHOWED UP, and my members who also had vendor booths there, TC Leary had some fantastic jewelry that she was able to sell many pieces of to many including me. Remember I always say Showing Up is like a treasure map , as you never know what treasure you will find and last night we all were able to go home with a wonderful night of great treasures. So next time you see a EST or FOR YOU event immediately know that its a great SHOW UP event and get it on your calendar and SHOW UP, you will be glad you did...
Also if you want to check the progress of my upcoming NAFE Western Regional conference SUCCESS UP at the Atrium Hotel in Orange County (Across from John Wayne airport).on May 20th and 21st 2011 go to www.wrnafe.com I hope to see you all there as well. I have planned a magnificent event for you and all the other NAFE members who will be flying in. SO mark your calendars now..If you want a booth you need to act fast as I only have 25 and 10 have already been sold and I will sell those out by the end of next month.

You did a wonder-ful job with the 8th birthday celebration last night and I thank you for it.
To be honest, I thought driving to Long Beach during rush hour for a silly party would be a waste of my time, but I wanted to support you and ALL the WORK you do all year round to help us succeed.
Well, all your hard work paid off and my guest Pamela and myself had a wonder-ful time. We met lots of fantastic, lovely, professional women like ourselves wanting to grow their businesses and help us grow ours. You made sure everyone got their minute and a half, and you did it very graciously. Many of us won gifts, and they were lovely gifts.
I would never spend the amount of time you all did to pull it off so well, but I appreciate that you were willing to do so. I will continue to support all of you just like you support me. God bless you and your families.

Hi, Gisella, What a great job you, Linda, and Shirley did on the Birthday Party
last evening. It was outstanding, and a super way to network by introducting
each other, and then allowing a 15-second commercial...The food, the awards, the prizes, etc., all were outstanding, and I will definitely enjoy my mug!
So much better than using bottled water!
Take care, enjoy this beautiful day, thanks again to all three EST members for
such an outstanding party.

Dear FYN EST Board, Linda, Shirley, Robbie and Gisella
I want to share my story with you about showing up. Last month I went to FYN meeting in Redlands and Darlene Merkler's friend, Laura Greene, Account Executive/National Advertising at The Press-Enterprise in Riverside CA, was in attendance to check out what Redlands FYN is all about. Both, Laura and Darlene are on the board of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce.
During the meeting I asked Laura if she knew how I could get my Aprons into the newspapers so the world would see what I was doing. She referred me a friend's name that worked at The Press Enterprise to call.
The next day I called Melanie Ladonga I told her about my vision and my aprons and asked if she would be able to help me to get them into the newspaper. She took my name and number and said she would have someone call me back. I did not hear anything for ahile and decided to call back. Two days later I got a phonecall and I was able to tell my story behind my "Apron Explosion" and tomorrow Aug 6, 2008 you will read all about it in the local section of the Press Enterprise. So For You Network ladies, SHOW UP AT YOUR NEXT FOR YOU NETWORK MEETING and bring a friend. .

Good Morning Gisella:
Thank You for the wonderful event of yesterday. You really hit a home run this year. I know how much work goes into putting on an event of this magnitude and my hat is off to you and your team. I am in the process of organizing an event for the California Association of Health Facilities, which is a Annual Legislative Breakfast so I know the many hours of work it takes to put on such an event. Also, you need to be commended on your ability to keep such a close time schedule. You ROCK Gisella. Again my heartfelt thanks to you and your team for a wonderful event.
My guest was extremely impressed with seeing so many dynamic ladies at one event.
Love & hugs,
Ritchie

Since joining For You/NAFE in March of this year I've met so many wonderful women, that has inspired me to reach and achieve personal goals.
I was going thru a terrible divorce and thru the storm I was encouraged and motivate to keeping going forward by this amazing sisterhood that I've come to love and appreciate, especially by my mentor Robbie Motter.
I wanted to stop and give up but instead, I wanted to give more of myself to other women that where hurting as well. I located a woman and her three children that had become homeless and experienced a domestic violence relationship, so the ladies in our Beverly Hills network and other For You connections came together and did a fundraiser. This woman received a free glamour shot and make-over worth over $250 in pictures. It was amazing to see their smile.
By my reaching out to help someone else allowed me to realize my purpose in life is not about me but what God has place me here for I am my brother’s keeper.

A few months ago at the suggestion of a wonderful friend, I joined this amazing volunteer organization for women called For You Network. What a fabulous time I have had since joining this caring group of women. I used to be somewhat shy, reticent about asking for what I needed and simply felt awkward about talking about my business my talents which are my passion. It has always been easy for me to give of me to others, of my talents and of my time; but whenever I have needed in the past the need stayed within me.
I would like you to know that For You Network sisterhood has changed my outlook on life, I have befriended women that are incredible, their attitude towards people and toward women especially, have helped me to open up to immeasurable opportunities. They are kind, helpful and so enthusiastic about everyone else achievements. It became really difficult to keep to myself, so I didn't even try. Through the encouragement I have received at For You Network my whole vision for my future has changed. I am now a certified seminar leader and an action coach specializing in career transitions. I have received so much from so many wonderful, nurturing women through For You Network that now it is my turn to give back; and I do so gladly by helping other women achieve their dreams.

Dear Robbie,
“It’s All About Showing Up.” Is a main theme song in my head. I have so many testimonies to share them with. I have been s long time NAFE member. On one fine morning, I attended NAFE breakfast in Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood in 2005. That was when I met with Robbie Motter. On that same day, I signed up for For You Network members and Registered Diva. I became a Registered Real Estate Diva. And there is only one of that registered name. That information is in the internet and my associates can look up my name and find that information in the internet. To name the few of great experiences I had by “Showing Up,” I met with so many amazing people. When I went to annual “ Gotta Have a Heart,” my company was awarded “2006 Women Owned Best Small Business.” I was so grateful for that. I was nominated as “Rising Star” during 2007 Los Angeles Business Journal Award. How often do I get a chance like these? Not often I would say. I was honored to pose for the cover of 2006 For You Network magazine. That was a great experience and so much fun. I have to thank Robbie Motter for that one. “Thank You” is not sufficient to express my sincere gratitude. There are more testimonies to share them with. When I went to “Media Women Award” in Hollywood with other Divas and For You Network members, I won gifts and door prizes. I also met many Media people and local councilmen on that evening. When I attended a bowling party at the Universal Studio Bowling alley with other Divas and For You Network members, I was shocked at my self that I hit many strikes. I used to so horrible at bowling I used to get “zero” That was memorable. When I attended Ellen Degeneres show with other For You Network members, I had a great time moving and shaking with music and watched Ellen Degeneres in person. All attendees received W Hotel bath robe. The show was taped and I watched myself on TV a week later. That was really something to see myself on TV. When I attended another TV show taping in Riverside with other For You Network members, I had a great time. When I went to a music play called “Menopause” with Divas, the show was so fantastic and it was a memorable experience. After the show, we all went to Acapulco restaurant wearing Tierra and Boas, all the patrons at the restaurant looked at us but it did not bother us and had a bowl. When I attended RBN Boat Cruise in NewPortBeach with other Divas and For You Network members, we had so much fun and danced until feet hurt. That was a great party. And my testimonies will go on. Now I am honored to serve Glendale For You Network as a Director to make a difference. This is awesome. There is no way I can name all the great experiences I had and outstanding people I met in this limited space. I am a living testimony that “Showing Up” really works. None of these things would have happened to me if I did not show up. I don’t mean to show off or brag any of these things I mentioned, I truly want to convey to you that you just have to show up and experience the great things in life . I am indebted to Robbie Motter and All the Divas and For You Network members. I hope and pray that I can be utilized to encourage and to fuel other people’s passion to reach higher place and to enrich life experiences. Maybe, that is a lofty idea that I am aiming at. But, I have a burning heart to carry the torch. May God bless you beyond your wildest dreams!

Providing Training Solutions for 16 years Dear For You Network Members:
I want to tell all of you that the new Empowering Women magazine selected Weekenders USA to be on the cover and have over 130 pages of articles featuring photos and stories of Weekenders women and the abundance they are creating in their lives. I was one of the Weekender women they selected to be featured. Their photographer was at my home after my For You Network meeting to do the photo shoot. It was fun! When they interviewed me I mentioned I was the Director of the the Long Beach For You....we will have the word out as well!
The magazine comes out mid October(the November issue) in the bookstores. I will have some copies as well...of course! I was pushing to be on the cover...we will see...I keep putting the word out that it has been my dream to be on the cover of a National magazine...it may come true!

I've found For You Network to be a great professional network for growing both my professional speaking and '"I'M A SENSATIONAL SENIOR!" T-shirt businesses.
I connect with other members at meetings in various cities, and have found For You Network to be an excellent support group. It's also a definite advantage to be an affiliate member of NAFE, which helps me expand my business contacts nationwide. For You Network members are brilliant, dedicated businesswomen; we share business and personal interests to improve our companies every day.
I encourage all businesswomen to join!

As a For You Network member, I was thrilled to be part of a "Success Team", led by Amy Frost and Lisa Cherney. They guided a group of eight For You Network Members through a 10 week course of exploration and connection with ourselves, each other, and our businesses. For me, it was THE stepping stone to my personal success path. The group continued monthly for 3 years and I truly believe it guided me to the awesome BeautiControl success I'm enjoying! (I'm driving a 2006 Ford Mustang)!

Dear For You Network!
It is all because of the For You Network that the article was written about me and my business in the San Bernardino Sun. The writer saw the press release about the network when I spoke at the San Bernardino connection and called me. Networking works!!

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for your invitation to the For You Network luncheon last week. Though I've been a member of NAFE on and off for 6 years or so, I've never been to one of their events.
The invitation came at a time when I was having doubts about myself. I would much rather be in my office healing people instead of out promoting myself. But, as you know, we always need to promote ourselves!
It was very good for me because going to events like this by myself have always been hard. I seem to always find some excuse not to go. Well, no more. Just being there was a huge step. I had a good time and got a lot out of it. It was a great confidence builder.
I've made the commitment to be fearless each and every day. I will do at least one thing that is totally off the scale. I have and the results have been wonderful!
So I just wanted to say thank you. One of my failings is that I don't say it enough. I believe that the small percentage of Americans who do know the words "thank you" only use them for the big stuff. Well, I'm trying to remember them for the small stuff too.
May the day bring as many blessings as your heart can hold,

I just want you to know that after the first meeting of For You I was soooooo jazzzzed that I thought to myself, " If only I could have 30 more years what I could accomplish with the occasion of these fabulous ladies. You and the rest of the Director's need to be commended for all of your efforts and I will attempt to assist you in anyway that I can because I think you are all TERRIFIC !!!!!!!!!
With love to you all for a JOB well done,

I wanted to let you know how much our "30-second commercial" exercise helped me to improve my opening. During the exercise I gained some important insight on how I could change my wording to make it more effective. My partner pointed out some things I had never thought about, and I reworked my wording to reflect her insights.
On Thursday night I was approved for membership at the Association for Professional Consultant's meeting. I tried out my new "30-second commercial" and it was a major hit.
In comparison, the other two new members who talked about themselves sounded boring and dull. (They hadn't learned the techniques I had.) As a result of my commercial, people came up after the meeting and wanted to know more about me and my business. It was wonderful. Thank you for sharing a valuable skill; it works!
