Passion, Purpose and Never Giving Up: Steelo’s Story
Last night while watching Dancing with the Stars, I was moved by Steelo’s story. If you missed it, take a peek here: What makes someone give up? Was there heart never really in it to begin with? Was it never really their passion? If you were Steelo would you fight like he has to do what you are doing now? Looking for a way to build your brand message and create results for your business? Ann’s Platinum Mastermind is a powerful way to make sure these questions...
read moreBuilding a Brand Message that Drives Results
I am known for telling my clients “Don’t be vanilla” as they build their brand message and influential voice. I frequently see it when people blog. Suddenly, they become scientific, bland, and almost robotic in the writing. There is no personality, no polarity, and no opinion strong enough to matter. When I tell people that their blog can get them business, as well as PRESS, this is a key factor. Last week I opened my email to find this: Pete Thomas, the Season 2 At-Home winner of NBC’s The Biggest Loser. His book will come out in...
read moreIdeas Don’t Create a Successful Business
It is interesting how many entrepreneurs have a “million” ideas. Millions, of IDEAS. Not dollars. It takes converting the idea into something that can be bought, something that people see value in that creates the success. The idea, without implementation, is just an idea. Ann M. Evanston, Ma has been a small business owner since 1997. She specializes in taking entrepreneurs to implementation, and financial success with their unique edge. Her mastermind groups are powerful, and...
read moreThe Influence Factor: Becoming an Original versus a CopyCat
I am moving through a new phase in completing my book, The Influence Factor: the editing phase. Yes, I have an editor, but I STILL have to review notes and changes and approve them or rewrite. It is a tedious process, that is for sure! As I was going through a chapter today, I reread a section where I share that becoming a copycat won’t create your influential voice. This is counter intuitive to what many teach us. “Don’t reinvent the wheel.” “Find someone in your field that does it well, and do what they...

read moreBusiness Development for Entrepreneurs: Get a Board of Advisors
This actually saved by business in 2007-2008. Without advisers, I would not have developed a new marketing strategy (know known as The SNCC Way) and saved myself financially! In this video I share who and why I picked who I did: Be care of thinking a group of “friends” with opinions are a BOA! (that’s another blog!) Take time and find these people, who should they be for you? Struggling to find the BOA? Still want a group to give input and cheer you on? Join our monthly mastermind calls, for less than $10 I...
read moreGrowing your Business: Doing the things that make it run
The hardest part of running your own business is doing the things that make it run like a well oiled machine. Yesterday, I spent time working on those things for my business. Trust me, I don’t enjoy it any more then you do! Reality is our business needs these systems and processes in order to achieve a higher level of success. I’m not talking to hobbyists that really don’t want to generate a higher level of revenue in their business. I’m talking to true entrepreneurs, small business owners who understand that to achieve...

Being in business since 1997, this is HUGE! Are you just spinning your wheels? This is what I do, even when I talk with people on my Partnership Mastermind I tell them, get a system to be able to put it together for success. Michael Gerber, of The E-Myth (you have read this right? It’s like the KEY if you are a new entrepreneur) says “create a system and repeat it 500 to be successful. hmmm…are you in business or just playing around? Ann Evanston, MA, has been named by About.com...
read moreNetworking and the Influence Factor
When I speak, i often ask about good networking versus bad networking habits. I beleive in networking, I am actually really shy, I mean really! Going to a networking event and putting myself out there with people I don’t know is scary! Today, while networking, I took the leap and joined a group of people. It was a bit safe because the leader of the group had already said two of us needed to meet. As I listened to the conversation about netwroking, I asked several questions and listened, before ever sharing what I thought. After...
read moreWriting and The Influence Factor: finishing my manuscript
I finished my book today! Well, the manuscripts! It’s off to the publisher for the next phase of analyzing, fine-tuning, and perfecting those words on paper. Some of you have been with me on this journey of writing. Last fall I started a personal 30 day writing challenge. I wrote every morning for 30 minutes whether I wanted to or not! That writing led to the self-discovery of why I have not published my own book yet. Yes, I know there will be critics of my book. Of all kinds. Some would say the first level of critic will start in...
