Years ago, we got our news in limited doses – a few TV or radio programs a day; the daily paper. That was it.

Today, we are accustomed to a 24-hour assault on all fronts – online and offline, and even when you try to turn it off. (Just the other day I had to endure noxious TV news airing at an airport gate. As if we aren’t already anxious enough before flying.)

The danger in this perpetual and often manufactured drama and outrage designed for our entertainment and to stoke our news addiction, is that we become numb to the news that REALLY does matter.

Enter my guest this week on Glambition® Radio, Jessica Yellin, founder of #NewsNotNoise. After enjoying an award-winning career of being a White House Correspondent and journalist for major media like CNN and GMA, she had enough of what news has become, and decided to create her own ‘channel’, starting with her Instagram account.

Imagine news that was, well, real ‘news’? Actual information? Amazing!

You’ll hear her take on it. But also on #GlambitionRadio, Jessica shares why she chose to fictionalize her career in her new novel Savage News, and the surprising reaction she’s heard from her readers.

Now, speaking of news you can use, here are a few updates…

-> JUST A HANDFUL OF SEATS LEFT AT ICONIC 3.0


Only a handful of seats remain for ICONIC 3.0, happening on Nov. 5+6, 2019 here in Phoenix, AZ. This annual, intimate event is an advanced workshop for women leaders and entrepreneurs who are ready to rethink the usual ‘next moves’ and truly step into their great work in the world, creating the most powerful chapter of their careers.

If you are ready for a higher-level event in a room of true women business leaders (including a special bonus ‘closed-door’ session with my good friend, billion-dollar deal maker Cindy Eckert), consider joining us. We need to undo that formulaic brain (the one we’re not even aware of) and crack open our next level of ICONIC work in the world.

You can read all about it and submit your application here.

-> ARE YOU A VIP?

I have a few days remaining for VIP Strategy Days here in Phoenix this fall. (Usually an easy direct flight from most major cities.)

Clients have used these private days to map out how to best scale their current model (without implosion), position themselves for higher-end fees and clients, plan their next level of growth, drive a creative “sharp right turn”, or birth a whole new brand that matches where they’re really feeling called right now, among other objectives.

We’ll set an agenda based on your needs during a private pre-call before we meet, and a follow-up call is included as well. If you’re interested in learning more, please complete the brief form here and Jen on my team will reach out to you.

Please note I specialize in supporting leaders whose businesses are generating (or on track for) 7-8 figure revenues per year, however lower revenues can be a good fit if there is evidence of a strong platform and growth potential. If you’re not sure, we’re happy to talk with you to see if it’s a fit, once we get your info.

Best,

Ali

How is your summer starting so far? The twins have been out of school for several weeks now, so it seems like we’re already halfway through. Our California Disney trip was a ton of fun—here’s a quick pic of us with the Mouse during our fantastic VIP tour!—but I’m glad to be back to our own sun, fun, and pool right in our own backyard. 🙂 You can catch up with some of our latest pics on my IG profile here.

Now, here’s some quick updates on a few things you may be interested in…

1. My latest episode of #GlambitionRadio is LIVE featuring designer Rebecca Minkoff, who has enjoyed a wildly successful 20+ year career. A cut-up t-shirt she designed in her apartment helped launch her first empire, and it’s still thriving. But I was even more interested in interviewing RM herself to discuss her new venture designed to assist other female founders.

It started with a simple question to a VC firm who wanted her to invest: ‘May I see a list of your female-founded companies?’ When they couldn’t easily provide one, she knew it was an opportunity. She shares her brilliant solution and why it’s relevant more than ever on this inspiring episode at GlambitionRadio.com. You can hear our incredible conversation here.

2. I’m coming to LONDON in September for business and have openings for ONE more VIP Consultation Day while I’m in the UK. If you’re interested in learning more, please complete the brief form here and be sure to mention London. Jen on my team will reach out to you.

If you’re in the UK/Europe, this is a great opportunity to get my private consulting without having to travel far. Clients have used these days to map out how to best scale their current model (without implosion), position themselves for higher-end fees and clients, plan their next level of growth, drive a creative ‘sharp right turn’, or birth a whole new brand that matches where they’re really feeling called right now, among other objectives. We’ll set an agenda based on your needs.

3. We have LESS than 20 seats remaining open for ICONIC 3.0, happening on Nov. 5+6, 2019 here in Phoenix, AZ. ICONIC is an advanced workshop for women leaders and entrepreneurs who are ready to get off the launch hamster wheel and now truly step into their great work, creating the most powerful chapter of their careers.

If you’re tired of seeing the same formulas taught over and over (and that don’t work anymore), you will love how I work, the leaders I attract, and the breakthroughs this process creates. Get ready for a fresh perspective, incomparable positioning, and hugely profitable possibilities. AND, a special bonus session with my good friend, billion-dollar business founder Cindy Eckert.

Best,

As I write this, I’m preparing to host a 25-child birthday party for my twins, who are turning six! We’re celebrating a bit early, as their school lets out for summer in just a few days, and it was easier for everyone.

Before I self-medicate 😉 I wanted to make sure you knew about one LAST detail that just came through regarding ICONIC 3.0, my event for women business leaders happening this November 5+6, 2019 in Phoenix.

Today I’m thrilled to announce a private BONUS session with my friend, a billion-dollar dealmaker, serial entrepreneur Cindy Eckert.

Cindy is a proven serial entrepreneur, a strong advocate for female entrepreneurship, and, as the only woman on record to sell her business for over $1 Billion, an unapologetically self-described ‘pink unicorn’.

As co-founder and CEO of Sprout Pharma, her company broke through barriers and made news with the first ever FDA-approved drug for low physical desire in women. And now, she’s founder of a venture-capital fund specifically for women-owned and centered businesses.

Cindy will not only share with us how she spotted her opportunities along the way and the steps she took, but also secrets to pitching and sealing big deals – especially in intimidating rooms.

I’ve known Cindy personally for a few years now, and also have to share how fun and down-to-earth she is as well. You are going to LOVE her, and this special ICONIC session!

Get ready for a fresh perspective, incomparable positioning, and hugely profitable possibilities.

—> A quick reminder of the facts:

• Past events have sold out within days.
• We have 80-90 seats MAX available this year.
• 25 of them have already reserved by my current Premier and repeat clients.

So… I have a feeling seats won’t be available for long once we open TOMORROW, so your best bet is to get on that Priority Notification List here.

That way you can see all the details once they are live, and apply to attend if you want to join us.

And then… watch your inbox TOMORROW! 🙂

Best,

Ali

I’d like to quickly address a question I have received, and that’s regarding my position on online marketing.

‘Dear Ali, you seem to rant on how all marketing funnels are bad. Are you against ALL of the launch ‘formulas’ that are out there now? I’d like to know.’

To answer that question, not exactly.

Of the many clients I work with whose revenues are in the 7-figures and above, some of them have used funnels, webinars, social ads, video series, and similar formulas to get there.

But let me share a secret with you… my clients who are on track for multiple 7-figures or even 8-figures (one of my Premier clients is now doing over a million dollars a month) aren’t using any of that.

—> In fact, their models are so simple that they may not be believable.

And my biggest concern is that you may not believe them, because they can’t be sold to you. No one is ‘teaching’ them, because it’s not a fancy formula.

So here’s the rub: I, Ali Brown, want to convert you to become…

… a ‘marketing agnostic’. 

Meaning… show me the results. Show me the money. And show me the bigger picture… BEFORE I recommend you jump into spending your money, time, and energy on specific methods.

News flash: THIS is a position you won’t find with a typical business coach.

Because I have no ‘methods’ to sell you. Only wisdom. And a bird’s eye view from leading the entire industry for over a decade.

That being said, I’m inviting my own clients to share with you some unbiased reviews of what’s working right now, and what’s NOT working, at my private ICONIC 3.0 event on November 5+6 in Phoenix, AZ.

This is stuff you won’t hear anywhere else, and this session alone will be worth the investment in attending!

If you’re ready to give yourself a huge advantage via a serious two-day power-up alongside some of the most successful women in their categories, I suggest you get on the Priority Notification List now.

Because we’ll be opening for applications to that list (and that list only) on Monday.

Yes, that’s this coming Monday, May 20 – just 2 days away.

Get ready for a fresh perspective, incomparable positioning, and hugely profitable possibilities.

Because in past years we’ve SOLD OUT within weeks… even days…  I have a feeling seats won’t be available for long once we open publicly, so your best bet is to get on that Priority Notification List here.

And then watch your inbox this coming Monday.

Best,

Ali
