I have long been an admirer of Martha Stewart. This little potted history of Martha might explain why:
Martha Stewart was born in New Jersey, her dad taught her gardening when she was only three; her mother taught her cooking and sewing; her grandparents taught her to put up preserves, and she learned to make pies and cakes from a pair of retired bakers who lived next door.
Martha started her career as a stockbroker but during the recession of the early 1970's she started a catering business from the basement of her house. Through catering for parties she met book publishers and soon had her first book published. The first book turned into a series of books which turned into TV appearances,her own TV shows, and now a multimedia platform. All based around lifestyle. She's the guru of her industry. Her business, Martha Stewart Omnimedia, is phenomenally successful.
Martha has also written a great book about starting and growing a business "The Martha Rules"
As well as Martha talking about building a brand, George Clooney (yes, The George Clooney!) will be talking about the power of collaboration. Also speaking are Jeff Taylor (founder of Monster.com), Michael Fertik (Reputation.com), Russel Simmons (Rush communications) and the fabulous Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Muhammed Yunus (Grameen Bank, microcredit pioneer). Wow!
If you want to know more you can download the brochure here. It's not a cheap day - the full price is $1400 - but because I've already got 8 people coming my invitees qualify for the reduced rate of $880. Register here to get it. (the link talks about Butterfly Coaching - that's my other company).
The event is the brainchild of The Growth Faculty - a great resource for Entrepreneurs. I'm on the advisory board of The Growth Faculty but not on commission for selling tickets....just very excited!
Hope to see you there.
