Action is a beautiful thing. “Get Booked on Oprah” Expert Susan Harrow picked up one of her “Sell Yourself without Selling Your Soul” books while presenting to a sold-out audience at the Grande Sized Publici-Tea™ on 10-17. She said she was going to give away one of her books.
So many people say they want things. Few step into action. Harrah Brown, founder of www.athomewithharrah.com, jumped out of her chair and walked to the podium to receive the gift. She got into action. Everyone else just sat and watched. Harrah saw an opportunity and reached out to get the book she wanted. I have no doubt that her DIY publicity path will be paved with equally intentional steps to pave her way to buzz, new opportunities, and the gold she intends to earn through her business. I can’t wait to report about her successes in the Publici-Tea™ Graduate Success Story category for this blog.
I tried the same approach on Saturday as a spoke about DIY publicity at the Money Wise Business Women Conference at North Seattle Community College. I held up a set of Authentic Visibility Publicity Tips Booklets and said something about the difference between inertia and activity was powerful. I asked the audience, “Who wants a set of tips booklets right now?” A few folks raised their hands. I asked again. Who wants to get into action to make these tips booklets their own? One guest got out of her chair to approach the podium. She received what she wanted. There really is something to be said for getting into action.
If the action’s of these women inspire you to jump into motion to get what you want, here’s something more. I am going to give away one of the new Publici-Tea-TO-GO! gift bundles to a blog reader who posts a comment at this blog about why this item is exactly what she needs to build the buzz right now. If you need to get known as an expert, pitch an article the media can’t resist, and promote your products, services, ideas or cause in your own backyard or around the world, the Publici-Tea™-TO-GO! gift bundle delivers what you need to know to 
do it all. And, you can savor the information in the time it takes to enjoy a really good cup of tea. Best of all, 10% of the net profits from the year-round sale of these gift bundles benefit NW Hope and Healing, a non profit that delivers healing baskets to women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. You must post your blog comment between now and Friday, October 31, which marks the end of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I’ll choose the winner from the comments that show the most heart. Will yours be the winner? Act now because the difference between inertia and action is a mighty thing, and a fabulous, empowering gift bundle is waiting. And, if you would rather meet in me person and benefit from the bounty of the Publici-Tea™ Half Day Workshop coming to The Village Bellevue on November 14 from 12:30 – 5 p.m., sign up now. We have only 12 seats available for this session, and action is the key to make sure one of them has your name on it.
Hi Nancy,
I’m in. I’d love to win your Publici-Tea-to-go bundle! I’ve just launched a new business, with the help of our mutual friend Suzanne Falter-Barns. I’m really excited about it but then I get stopped in my tracks..how will I drive traffic to my site? How will I get the word out about my amazingly awesome products and services and the great story about the at-risk adolescent girls who work for me? How can I share my joy and passion? How do I stay in action when I’m losing sight of my greatness? I’m betting that your package is just the thing to keep me moving especially on those days when I just want to crawl back under the covers head first!
Hi Cindy,
Way to get into action. Thanks for sharing your request. I love your passion for your business and know you will be successful if you apply the lessons you are learning from Suzanne and from me to your buzz building advantage.

Hi Nancy –
I’d love to win your Publici-Tea-to-go bundle. A year and a half ago, I started a business with my best friend of 35 years. We have 3 local gardens and we grow everything organically. We offer seasonal, organically grown flower arrangements for weddings, parties, and corporate events. Our garden arrangements look different than the typical floral arrangement because most of the flowers are grown right here in the Pacific Northwest. My business partner is the creative genius and I run the business.
Part of our mission is to help young people with disabilities find employment. Our goal is to do more corporate events so we can inspire more business leaders to hire people with disabilities.
How do I reach those business leaders? I’m stuck. But… I am now newly inspire, thanks to last night’s think tank. It was exactly what I needed. Thank you !!!
Thanks Nancy. I can’t wait to get the bundle and get into action! But first, I think I’ll have a cup of tea!
