Filed under PFW Events
Bring your passion – and your business cards – to our September mingler and to start your fall with some luscious inspiration!
Please join us for an evening of connections & networking and a fire-you-up speaker to help you get back to your business and support you in meeting your goals for 2010 with special guest speaker Pat Mussieux who will talk about the 7 Steps to Growing Your Business By Getting Out of Your Own Way. Well-known as “The Queen of Networking,” Pat has x-ray vision for seeing relationship-building opportunities and the creativity to convert them into clients! (please see full bio below).
- Complimentary hors d’oeuvres
- Please bring your business cards, positive attitude and desire to contribute!
In this presentation, Pat Mussieux will share with you the powerful mindset and marketing techniques that she has mastered over the past few years – that have taken her from ‘hell to happy’! You will come away with tangible, relevant, meaningful, easy-to-apply steps that you can use TODAY to help you:
- understand the No. 1 barrier to entrepreneurial success
- learn 3 easy ways to find money on the table, and
- learn the one thing you are NOT doing now, that you must begin today……in order to grow your business!
Pat will help to make it easy for you – so you can get out of your own way and grow your business, starting today!
About Pat Mussieux:
After 15 years of training executives at companies like Stantec, The Westin Hotel, Sherritt International and other private sector organizations, she left the corporate world and put her skills to the test as an entrepreneur. Having stepped in and out of her business for the past 20 years, Pat contracted with a millionaire business coach in 2009 to help make quantum leaps in her business.
In just 1 short year, Pat created a six-figure home-based business after having moved across the country, leaving her 22-year marriage with virtually nothing – and starting life over in a new city across the country. She is an undisputed expert on mindset and marketing, and how to make BIG money doing what you love!
Pat is the author of “The 7-Step Guide To Growing Your Business by Building Confidence and Courage”, teaching women entrepreneurs how to get their message out and enjoy massive results, removing the self-imposed barriers of habits, attitudes, beliefs and expectations! Recently, Pat was nominated for the 2010 RBC Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Through her coaching programs and products, Pat shows her clients how to experience freedom inside and out and create the life they truly want to live, now! It’s a ‘no-excuses’ approach!

Filed under Past PFW Events
JOIN US FOR THIS AMAZING EVENT FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A WEEKEND AT THE GRAIL LADY FAIR JULY 2-4, valued at $175 (see below for details)
Calling all Toronto women to join us for an evening of socializing, networking and positive fabulous connections!
This special evening will begin with some mingling & schmoozing as you unwind, sip your favourite cocktail and savour the delectable complimentary light hors d’oevres.
Enjoy a social atmosphere and positive vibes as you continue to build your relationships with like-minded and like-spirited women.
This is a great opportunity to touch base with friends and to form new connections (don’t forget your business cards). So feel free to bring along your friends and colleagues interested in growing their business, advancing their network or making new contacts.
Our guest speaker for this evening is Anne Dimon, CEO of Travel to Wellness Inc. She will reveal her journey as an entrepreneur, as well as the joys & challenges when traveling the globe as a respected travel writer/international spa journalist meets the 24/7 reality of running a business.
Anne will share with us how the idea was conceived during a nine-day, six-airline tour, the challenges of being a one-woman band, and why she recently went retro with the launch of a print version of the magazine. She’ll reveal the secrets to how her six-year-old website remains at the top of related searches, and the recent pivotal point decision she made to take the business to the next level. Lastly, how her reputation as a journalist has both helped and hindered and how she maintains editorial credibility when also trying to sell advertising.
ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST
Anne Dimon has an enviable job. For close to 20 years she’s been traveling the world as a travel writer/columnist, spa and hospitality industry journalist and, currently, as editor-in-chief of TraveltoWellness.com. Her Toronto-based company Travel to Wellness Inc. owns the six-year-old premiere online wellness travel magazine and has recently launched a print issue.
Prior to her life as a journalist, Anne was director of PR at a major Toronto hotel then left to become president of her own public relations company. In her early career, she worked in broadcasting – radio and television – both on-camera and behind the scenes. Somewhere in there she also found time to create a line of travel fashions.
An avid runner and half-marathoner, she walks the talk and in 2006 was recognized by the Ontario Free-Tobacco Network for her contribution to the implementation of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act.
