I started my first business out of my living room 11 years ago. I was a single mother who had left an abusive relationship and was just trying to survive.
At the time, there was not enough information on the web on how to really grow my new online business. Everyone wanted you pay for it.
I didn’t have the money. I did the only thing I could do. I started learning on my own!
I started helping other moms in my situation and started my own company helping people build their own online stores.
Well one day I found myself sitting at a major conference absolutely LOVING the education I was getting. I wish I had that education available to me years prior.
There was no way I could have done it. It cost $2,000 to get in the door, $400 for the flight, $200-$300 a NIGHT for the hotel, and other expenses. Don’t get me wrong, the education was WORTH IT.
As I looked around the room at that moment, I realized I had to find a way to bring that same quality education to that single mother working at home, in her living room, with her 2 boys, after leaving a husband with nothing but their clothes.
How could I help her get the same education NOW?
How could I help the small business owner who works all week and then works nights and weekends on their website the same quality education? How could I help someone disabled to get the same education? How do I bring this education to everyone?
That’s when it hit me. We will hold an event online. We will make it free.
This could work! Right???!!!
Maybe?
Guess what?
It worked!!
We are now holding our FOURTH event THIS weekend!!
It's called The New Life Event.
So why am I telling you this information?
I know there are many mothers, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, and a few men too that read this blog that have their own website.
I hope that you will hear my story and realize that you can have your own online website and be successful.
You just need the right education.
Well, the right education is THIS weekend.
Tonight I am hosting what I call an Online Cocktail Party. I will be explaining everything involved with the New Life Event and how you can get great education along with some amazing prizes this weekend.
You can join me by signing up at:

I will also be hosting and speaking at the New Life Event this weekend. I hope to see you there!
P.S.
If you know someone that has their own business or would like to open an online business, please pass on this information. My goal is to help as many people as we can!

Hi Shawna. I am a follower of your blog. I don't have a website, but I have a couple of friends with online businesses, one just recently started up and I will let her know about what you are doing.
It is wonderful to know that you got out of your former life and turned everything around for the better for you and your children. I wish you every success. Hugs from Sandy in Australia. :)
Thank you for your story. I wish I could join in, but we're moving over the weekend. So no internet from tomorrow until Tuesday. :( But I follow you on twitter so I'll be on the lookout for the next one. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! :)
Is this a typing situation or a talikng situation. In other words do I need a microphone?
Hi Sandy, I love what I am doing now and life is great!! Thank you for your warm thoughts :)
Sharon, we are recording everything so if there is anything you want to learn... we will have it for you!
Quilter in the Gap - It is all online so as long as you have a monitor and keyboard...you are good to go!!
Shawna this is amazingly generous! I wish I was goign to be around a computer this weekend... I hope you are able to touch the lives of many and that they are in a position to really hear what you are saying and absorb what you are teaching. xoxo
Well done, Shawna!!! I am so glad to hear that your story took a happy turn, you obviously put a lot of work into making this all happen and I applaud you!!! Thank you for now making this education available to other bloggers!
I've been listening in to the New Life Event, and GREAT information as always. Loved the walk through you did for 1Choice4Quilting that you did last night, Shirley Tan's presentation, and all the other presenters as well. I'll be going back to the archived versions and listening to them over again for all the nuggets of information I can gleam. I had thought my little internet business was growing successfully until the recession hit and my business crashed and burned. Slowly over the past two years, I've been rebuilding from the ashes, and trying to learn all I can in order to be competitive and to succeed. Your webinars have helped immensely!
