As part of Success Secrets: this and every Friday, we talk with entrepreneurs and other professionals about building a business.
On Wednesday, I posted a teleclass I did with Gina Ratliffe, a success coach and entrepreneur who helps women build businesses online.
Some of the gems she shares are certainly secrets of entrepreneurial success, so instead of a new podcast, I’d love you to take a listen here. (Warning! It’s a pretty big file, so if you are having troubles listening online, download it!)

More than 75 percent of owners and managers of small businesses say their companies are either on target or will grow at a faster pace than projected this year, according to a national survey released Monday by Administaff, Inc.
More than 6,000 small- and medium-size businesses were polled.
The economy was cited as the most serious concern in 2008 by more than 60 percent of companies, followed by 52 percent who said finding ways to control operating costs was a key challenge, while 40 percent listed hiring the right employees.
The majority of survey participants expressed a guarded confidence in the current business climate.

I hosted a ’sold out’ free teleseminar with Gina Ratliffe, who shared how she built an online empire in just six months.
Because so many people were bumped off the call because it was filled to capacity, I want to share the recording of the call with everyone.
You’ll hear:
- what’s the basic thought that often holds a woman back from building a successful business
- the simple thing that everyone should do now to start building their online empire
- why you don’t need a completed website to make money online
- how to stop trading hours for dollars
- and much more
And there was a great Laser Coaching session for one lucky caller. See how you can use what Gina advised her on how to recession-proof her business during a tough real estate market.
Plus, Gina and I have decided to extend our bonus discounts for her How to Build an Online Empire class to everyone who missed out for the next 24 hours.
Bonuses include:
- $500 off the class
- 3 hours of private coaching from Gina
- 1 hour Publicity Breakthrough with me, Shannon Cherry
So you have until 9 AM ET May 15 to sign up at EstherExperience.com

I heard it again. And now it’s beginning to tick me off!
It’s the idea that an entrepreneur is an ‘overnight’ success. And the media seems to use it those phrases quite liberally.
But I am here to tell you: it’s just NOT true.
It takes a lot of time and a lot of effort; there will be a ton of roadblocks and learning curves along the way.
And that’s okay. No one is an overnight success. It takes time.
You need to focus and tweak before you present yourself -and your business - to the world.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering a new program called Emerging 200.
It will target 200 business owners across the nation who could benefit from low-interest loans, working with mentors and participating in workshops and classes.
Here’s the catch: your business MUST be located in one of the following areas: Boston; Baltimore; Chicago; Philadelphia; Atlanta; New Orleans; Memphis, Tenn.; Des Moines, Iowa; Milwaukee; Albuquerque, N.M., and Oakland, Calif.
Participating companies must also have at least $400,000 in annual revenue and have been in business for at least three years.
The SBA asked 55 cities that had low or negative compound annual job-growth rates in pockets of the cities from 1998 to 2005 to apply for the program. Of those invited, 23 sent in applications.

With all the news about gas prices and food prices soaring, I was wondering how such increases are effecting entrepreneurs.
For me, since I run a virtual PR firm, the increases haven’t hurt my business. But I can imagine a restaurant or someone who travels a lot for business could really be in a pinch.
Is it the price for doing business in today’s economy? Do you swallow the costs, feeling it’s what the market can stand? Or are you passing the cost onto your consumers?
I’d love to hear from you to get an idea of what’s going on…
