Subject: Please Help Alexis Have Her Own TV Show on Oprah

Millions of people are being ripped apart by conflict. Fights with friends, neighbors, parents, siblings, spouses, and even people in the cars in front of us.

We turn to well-meaning friends or lawyers and the conflict escalates.

What if there was a new way to deal with conflict?

My friend, Alexis Neely, has a show that will create a new normal when it comes to conflict and she needs your help to get Oprah to take notice as part of the OWN Network search for their next TV host.

Here’s the link to Alexis’ audition video:

And feel free to forward this message to anyone you know who wants to see conflict resolved in a whole new way!

At whatever level you are able to support my quest for my OWN television show, I am so grateful for your help.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Okay gang, this Oprah Show Audition piece is coming together.  And I’m beginning to see that this is about so much more than the OWN contest.  This show IS going to happen.

I’m moving through the resistance.  And I really need your help.

Next Tuesday, I’m going to be taping the video for the Oprah Show Host Contest.

Rather than just have me talk about the concept for the show.  I want to show it in action.

I need 3-5 of you who are in the midst of a personal or business conflict and willing to talk about all of it on camera, Suze Orman Show style.

Here’s what I need specifically:

1. Your true story of conflict that feels unresolvable.

It could be a story in which you believe you are right, it could be a conflict you wish you could resolve, or it could be a story in which you know you were wrong and the other person won’t forgive you.

If I choose your story, I will guide you to resolve this conflict.

2. Your voice

We are going to tape voice over style, so you don’t need to show up in person, but I’d prefer if we could use your real voice.

3. Your picture (optional)

If you are open to showing your face (conflict can be a taboo, but the more of us that talk openly about it, the less it will be), I would like to use your picture.

So, if you’ve got a conflict you are ready to resolve, email me at alexis@martinneely.com.

You’ll be amazed at what shifts in your life.  Weight drops away, wrinkles melt,  joy bubbles up, aches and pains disappear.  This is the fountain of youth. The key to freedom.

You know those people who are a lot older than you, but look and feel really young.

Ask them how much conflict they have in their lives. It’s probably not a lot. It can be that way for you too.

Email me.  Let’s see if I can help you and you can help me.

P.S. – I cannot believe how this is all coming together. Regardless of what happens with the Oprah Show Contest, this is a show I’m doing.

I’m done talking about it; the time is now.  Let’s heal the world by healing your conflict.

Email me! alexis@martinneely.com

Please accept my gratitude now in case I don’t email you back. I’m hoping to hear from so many people who are ready to heal their conflict that I won’t be able to contact everyone back individually.

And please tell your friends about this.  Anyone you know who is in a conflict they want to resolve.  Spread the word.  Let’s heal the world together.

I thought it was a great idea too and because one of the hallmarks of the most successful entrepreneurs is the ability to put things into action quickly, I’m moving full steam ahead.

So, if you would like to win one of two scholarships to the Savvy Mompreneurs Telesummit (GOLD level so you can get all of the recordings in case you miss any of the sessions), all you have to do is take your own action now, by doing the following:

1. Leave me a comment here letting me know why you should win one of these two scholarships; and
2. Subscribe to my blog by email by entering your email into the box up at the upper right hand corner right there where it says:  Subscribe by Email and Get Free Goodies From Alexis.

Now, this is important:

You can give me the best reason, but if you don’t subscribe, you cannot win.  I’ll be notifying the two winners by email, so please make sure you do this.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to sell your name or your email address or bombard you with email and you can unsubscribe anytime if I annoy you.

Just one thing for you to know before you leave your comment about why you should win: Successful entrepreneurs do not blame other people for their circumstances, are not victims and rarely complain (at least not in public!)

I look forward to “seeing” you on the Savvy Mompreneurs Telesummit!

We have a winner! Or actually – we have two winners.

Thank you so much for everyone who helped me to come up with a tag line for my Kids Protection Planning Kit.

I was humbled and honored to have so many responses, and so many great    suggestions, and I would like to thank everyone for participating.

I chose two winners,  Jessica Smith and Allison Ellis.

I chose the following tag line:
“Life Doesn’t Come with a Crystal Ball – Make a Plan” by Jessica Smith.

And I also liked the idea of having a rotating banner and as you can see above, I chose the rotating banner text according to Allison’s idea.

“What Would Happen to Your Kids”
“If Something Happened to You”
“Life Doesn’t Come With A Crystal Ball. Make a Plan.”

Congrats to both Jessica and Allison, you each will receive a Kids Protection Planning Kit, which has a retail value of $497!

For the rest of ya, keep an eye on your inbox, your twitter account, and everywhere else you go for info on November 6 because we’re having a very special launch of the Kids Protection Planning Kit on that day.

Thanks again everyone!

Last week, I had a contest.  Martha Stewart did too.

I got so many great entries that I don’t know how I’ll choose.  I want to help every single one of you who posted about your hopes and your dreams.  You really did it.  You really showed me yours.  Thank you.

Over the rest of the weekend and the beginning of the week, I’ll be reading through all the entries again and choosing one for personal coaching.  For the rest of you, I’ll think of some way to help.

You inspire me.

Now, I’m hoping I’ll win Martha’s contest and the Intrepid Mompreneur will be featured on Martha’s blog.  If you think Martha should feature the Intrepid Mompreneur, let her know by posting a comment on the contest page.

But, what about you?

I can’t be the only one with big hairy audacious goals, can I?  What are your dreams?  Are you taking action on them?  How?

I want to hear from you!  To incentivize you to let it all hang out, let’s make it a contest!

Lots of people ask me if I’m still doing coaching or email me for help and guidance.  When I was doing it one on one, they paid $1,000/hour.  I don’t offer it anymore because I’m too busy building my businesses, publishing books and getting on TV.

But, I miss the feeling of being there, guiding someone and truly knowing I’m making a life-changing difference when that big a-ha comes along!  TV is great, but it’s kind of impersonal, ya know?

One tip from the right coach can save you months, if not years, of going down the wrong path.

So, post a comment about your big dreams and how you are taking action on them and I’ll pick the one that most inspires me for a one-on-one personal coaching session with me.

It can be around pinpointing your purpose, publishing a book, getting publicity or media, being a mompreneur, balancing work/life and still making your dreams come true, having it all, manifesting what you want, moving through fear or building your business. You pick.

So, let’s hear it!

PS – while you’re here, why not subscribe so you don’t miss anything?  Choose the subscribe by email option.  It’s in the upper right hand corner.  And, if you use OtherInbox, a super cool new service to help you take back your inbox, it won’t clutter up your inbox, but you’ll still stay up to date.

So, I thought you might be able to help.  You can go to the Kids Protection Planning Kit page to read all about it so you know what the tagline should reflect.

Here’s the banner:

Then, vote for your favorite tagline here.

If you have an even better tagline, let me know by commenting on this post.  If we use your tagline, you win a free Kids Protection Planning Kit. That’s a $497 prize for you.

This contest ends tonight at 9p PT, so act fast!

Thanks so much for your help!
