Hey everyone–

I’m eager to meet you all at the Massachusetts Conference for Women.

As you may know, on Wednesday, Dec. 7—the day before the Big Day—I’ve partnered with the Conference to deliver a Small Business Boot Camp for current and aspiring small business owners.

Do you:

*Ever dream of starting a little side hustle in addition to your day job—something that’s all your own?

*Have an idea for a small business, but no idea where to begin?

*Wish you had more money to grow your existing business?

*Need ideas on how to market with muscle not money?

*Wonder about what it takes to get media coverage for your product or service?

*Get weak knees when you have to make a sales pitch?

Help is here on this all this and so much more. We’d love for you to join us for the jam-packed Boot Camp to experience a powerful two-day punch.

For just $90 you can register to join us the Boot Camp on Wed., Dec. 7. Or opt to pay $150 for you and a friend—that person need not be attending the main conference to join you for the small business program.

This day is an intimate workshop where you’ll learn and laugh with women—and one amazing man—in the trenches of small business success.

I’m leading this day just for you. You’ll ask questions, we’ll chat one-on-one, and you’ll leave inspired and armed with the specific steps to get moving on your small business dreams.

REGISTER NOW

Need more convincing to join us? Call my office at 212.290.2600 or email me directly at tory@sparkandhustle.com and I’ll tell you exactly why you should be there!

Can’t wait to celebrate the incredible women of Massachusetts soon.

Cheers to your success,

Tory Johnson
