\n
Can I share a quick story with you?<\/b><\/div>\n
\n

In 1993 I had a brilliant idea for a business. I was 27 years old.<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

I had no business skill, no money and the economy was in a recession.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I also had a lot of people tell me I\"Odette<\/a> was crazy for even trying.<\/p>\n

But I had determination, persistence and I had a vision.<\/p>\n

5 years later<\/strong> that business was a million dollar success<\/strong> story.<\/span><\/p>\n

But How?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did two<\/strong> things:<\/p>\n

I ignored the negative people in my life and I listened to the people that knew how to build a successful business.<\/p>\n

I didn’t figure it out on my own. I didn’t give up. I didn’t stop.<\/p>\n

I did everything my business coaches told me to do. Everything.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hard work and hiring someone to tell me how to do it awarded me “Entrepreneur of the Year” by my peers.<\/p>\n

FAST FORWARD TO 2015<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

I am now a Business Coach and I teach entrepreneurs how to do the same thing I did.<\/p>\n

What makes me different?<\/em><\/p>\n

I have actually built a business from the ground up and crossed the million dollar mark. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Odette<\/a>And now I am doing it again.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Not many business coaches can say that.<\/p>\n

But … year one as a business coach was a personal disaster.<\/p>\n

My love relationship ended.<\/p>\n

I moved out and started over with borrowed furniture (the ex’s ex-wife!)<\/p>\n

Mom and Dad died within 2 months of each other.<\/p>\n

I woke up one morning paralyzed in my arms.<\/p>\n

Yup, I couldn’t move my arms for more than a year!<\/p>\n

I was broke, scared and alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had people tell me I was crazy<\/strong> for trying to build a business during my personal hell.<\/p>\n

But How, you ask again?<\/p>\n

Once again I ignored the negative people in my life and I listened to the people that could pull me out of the fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I didn’t try to figure it out on my own. I didn’t give up. I didn’t stop.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did what I had to do to put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads.<\/p>\n

Despite that crushingly difficult time in my life my coaching business crossed the six figure mark year one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So Why Am I Telling You This?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not to brag. It\u2019s to tell you that since I was able to turn things around, I know you can too.<\/p>\n

In fact, if I can do it, I know that ANYONE can do it.<\/p>\n

Better yet? <\/b>I know that I can show you in only two days<\/strong> what it took me a couple of years to accomplish.<\/p>\n

How?
<\/b><\/p>\n

With my Mastermind Business Intensive Retreat.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is it exactly?<\/b><\/p>\n

* It\u2019s a 2-day master-mind in Toronto, Ontario (September 2015)
* It\u2019s an intimate business gathering with a small group of like-minded business owners
* It\u2019s your chance to work privately with me, Odette Laurie
* It\u2019s an opportunity to focus on your business to find your fastest path to cash<\/p>\n

Who is it for?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
* The business owner who is tired of wondering what they need to do next to bring in new clients
* The entrepreneur who wants to enjoy the experience of feeling like they are on a solid financial foundation (as opposed to wondering where next month\u2019s money will come from)
* Anyone who wants the experience of a master-mind environment, the opportunity to connect, share, and learn from like-minded business owners<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Odette<\/a>There\u2019s a reason I am calling it a \u201cMastermind Business Intensive Retreat.\u201d It’s not a “seminar\u201d, \u201cteaching-course\u201d or \u201cmagical happy-course to instantly solve all your problems workshop.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Here it is: <\/b>If you\u2019re serious about growing your business. If you\u2019re serious about making a change in the way you think, operate, and live within your business, you\u2019re going to have to get your hands dirty. You\u2019re going to have to get committed. You\u2019re going to have to \u201cimmerse\u201d yourself in the process. You\u2019re going to have to get interactive. <\/b><\/p>\n

If you want to know how I took my baby business from broke to making multiple six-figures in A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, you\u2019ll have to play big.<\/span> <\/b><\/p>\n

I apologize if by telling you that I am discouraging you. Actually…I am not. <\/b>If I tell you that building a successful business is easy, I am doing a disservice to you.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s some good news.<\/b> While you absolutely have to play big to make big money, to spend two days with me, you won\u2019t have to invest big.<\/p>\n

In fact, you can sign up for the <\/b>Mastermind Business Intensive Retreat<\/strong> right this moment, for less than $1,000. <\/b><\/p>\n

The investment for these two days plus all the bonuses is <\/strong>only $497<\/strong> if you act now!<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This program is not for everyone – submit your application to get in now!<\/a><\/div>\n

“The value of the mastermind is not just in being coached, but also learning by watching other entrepreneurs work out similar challenges. It’s a place where you can put your ego aside, open your mind and commit yourself to the actions that will make a drastic improvement in your business.”<\/em><\/p>\n

~ Jason Reid, The Rechargeable Entrepreneur, RechargeMyMojo.com<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I cannot begin to praise being in the MasterMind Group enough for the following reasons:<\/em><\/p>\n

~ Odette kicks ass and doesn’t take “no” for an answer, consequently I do the stuff I really don’t like to do. AND …. with good results.<\/em>
~ Great team support<\/em>
~ The 2-day MM is invaluable in how it makes everyone show and stand in her\/his vulnerability, accept it, learn about a way to deal with it, and move forward<\/em>
~ Our perception of others’ success is not necessarily true; amazingly, they might be sitting in a similar boat; so…..<\/em>
~ We are all human and working on becoming successful.<\/em>
~ Odette is like the mother hen herding her chickens – not always gentle – but very successfully, into their success.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
I have personally gone to events filled with hundreds of people and paid more than $1,000. And we weren\u2019t able to get any of the hands-on intensive coaching that you\u2019ll have access to during this retreat.<\/p>\n

OK, I’ll admit, this retreat is a little self-serving.<\/p>\n

I love working with smaller groups. I love helping business owners see the blind spots in their businesses. I love the power of a 2-day retreat away from the world. Most importantly, I love seeing that moment when an entrepreneur realizes how quickly they can change their business, their profit structures, and their lives. <\/b><\/p>\n

And I really love the idea of doing it at a price that won\u2019t put you out of business. <\/b><\/p>\n

So here\u2019s the deal. You can sign up for the Mastermind Business Intensive Retreat<\/strong> and get the following:<\/p>\n
