Have you seen the array of experts who will be speaking along with Ali Brown at Shine this year? Ali's team has been updating the Shine website as they've been confirmed, and I think you'll be blown away by the accomplishments and expertise of the women who will be sharing their knowledge with you when you join them at Shine!
For example, imagine what you could learn from...

-- a 23-year multi-million dollar sales expert who left her corporate career to launch her own conversational sales development program. And she did it using Facebook!
-- a woman armed only with an idea and $100 who became an international supplier to Subway, McDonald's, and the grocery retail industry
And that is just a sampling of the experts Ali is bringing in for you. These women have been where you are in your business and your life... and share their strategies to help you get where you want to be! See who they are now at the Shine website -- and see you there!
Just don't delay -- Shine is only 6 WEEKS away, and you can still register for just two easy payments.

Fishing for Stars has, at its heart, two passionate, unforgettable – but very different – women. One is exotic, damaged, and shrewd; the other beautiful, determined and zealous. Both are bitter rivals for the love of the same man.
The story is set in Australia, the Pacific Islands, Japan and Indonesia during the latter half of the twentieth century. Nick Duncan is an ingenuous male with a great deal more female on his hands than he can possibly hope to understand.
It is a story of ambition, destruction, love, tears and laughter, with a soupçon of hope thrown in.
