NABBW Testimonies

Stumbling upon NABBW has changed the course of my life. First I found Georgia Richardson in the member directory...we live 40 miles apart, are both writers and speakers...and now not only are we fast friends, we are joining forces for workshops and book signings.

Second, as a result of viewing some of the members' web sites, I came across By, For and About Women Radio. Now Iím hosting Loving Life Radio Show, www.lovingliferadioshow.com. And I have found some wonderful guests for the show in the Member Directory, including our own Dotsie Bregel. Itís like a one-stop shop of interesting, inspirational women!

Third, Iíve seen an increase in book sells of Bertha-Size Your Life! www.berthasize.com following a rave book review in the NABBW Newsletter. The Newsletter's Member News section is a great venue for getting the word out about upcoming events.

Fourth, my article Boomer Women...Cruising Through Midlife was selected for the NABBW Members' Articles. I can hardly wait to submit another one.

Last, but by no means least, I love participating in the Boomer Women Speak Forum. Visiting the forum is always a bright spot in my day. Thereís something there for everyone.

I'm amazed that all this has occurred in only four months. Thanks Dotsie...I couldn't have done it without you!

If you’re looking for outstanding information on how to grow your business...

I would highly recommend listening to Jennifer Kalita’s teleconference recording of The Entrepreneurial Boomer Woman: How to Start & Stay in Business. This was by far one of the most informative, down-to-earth sessions I have listened to in a long time. Jennifer covers a great deal of much needed information in a short period of time. I would also recommend visiting Jennifer’s website http://www.thekalitagroup.com/ to access various free reports and white papers. You will be glad you did.

NABBW teleseminars:

Your Online Marketing Teleseminar was terrific! I appreciated your wide-sweeping over-view AND your comment that this will take time and lots of work - AND that it's worth it.
 
So many online marketing gurus make it sound like financial success is going to happen overnight. You gave the real picture. And I couldn't agree with you more, It's ALL worth it. You did a great job! And thanks for the great resources.

Suzanne Falter-Barns is the real deal! She’s a wonderful, smart, savvy woman with much to share. Before listening to her NABBW teleseminar the other night, I thought I was a PR pro who had created an effective platform for my work. But Suzanne imparted a treasure
trove of tips that I'd never even considered. She also provides lots of great freebies along with her for-charge services. What an incredible group of women Dotsie has brought together! I'm proud to call myself an NABBW member.

Kudos for Web master associate www.boshelcreative.com

Since I found Michelle Jakubiak on the NABBW site, maintaining my Web site has become a delight! After working with Michelle briefly, I knew I'd found a gem. I asked her to host my site, as well as maintain it. She had great suggestions for optimization and came up with good ideas for improvements. Add that to the fact that her rates are reasonable, and NABBW members get a discount - plus she's a joy personally and, well, it just doesn't get better than that. It's taken a burdensome issue away from me, so I can do other things. I trust her. Michelle is very responsive, and if there is an "emergency" issue, she's right on it. I feel blessed to have found her.

NBC Nightly News contact through NABBW Founder Dotsie Bregel

Some of the best people I’ve ever met are people I’ve never met. Since joining the National Association of Baby Boomer Women I’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible women, but I never expected my membership would lead to our family being featured on National television! On Monday, January 23, I received a phone call from our founder Dotsie who had been contacted by the producer NBC Nightly News for a segment they were featuring on the sandwich generation. By 1:00 the film crew was in our home interviewing myself, my husband Bill, my daughter Michelle and my parents Ruby and Reginia Cohen. The segment aired on Tuesday night and was seen by my friends and family coast to coast. Thank you Dotsie and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women for this incredible experience!

Thanks to our fearless leader, Dotsie, I was recently interviewed for a segment on the sandwich generation for NBC Nightly News! I knew the National Association of Baby Boomer Women was a great forum to share important Baby Boomer information but I had no idea it would provide a national platform. Thank you, Dotsie, and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women!

Referrals
Being a member of the NABBW has so many rewards. Recently Dotsie gave my name to a journalist for Satisfaction Magazine in Chicago since their readers are Boomer Singles. And that referral has resulted in 2 interviews for the magazine so far. Thank you Dotsie, and Thank you NABBW.
