Happy New Year!

I hope all of you have a wonderful and safe New Year! We will be updating our 2009 schedule soon and hope to see you at one of our upcoming seminars in the new year.

Will you join us in Nashville?

Danette and I are in the mood for some Grand Ole Opry and some BBQ so we are taking the ECSU seminar to Nashville, Tennessee August 25-28.

If you have been looking for a new career, your passion is to help people, or you have already started an errand or concierge service but need some help fine tuning your operations, then join us for four full days of training, networking, and fun.

People who have attended our seminars before leave with a ton of information in hand (You should see the size of our Seminar binders!) as well as clarity into where they are headed or need to head. They also walk away full from all of the great meals we provide (Ask Teo or Lorraine) and have the opportunity to network with each other and learn plenty of new ideas.

For $700, you get very intimate and personalized training from one of the industry's leading experts!

You will receive these items in addition to the training you receive:
-4 breakfasts
-4 lunches
-4 afternoon snacks
-1 attendee dinner
-A copy of Angel Wilder's book Starting Your Own Errand Service
-Binder filled with worksheets and handouts
-Certificate of Participation
-Graduate logo for all of your marketing materials

Looking for a new career?

With the economy the way it is today, many people have new opportunities being handed to them. (OK, it might come in the form of a pink slip, but that doesn't matter.) Now is the time to take advantage of you new found extra time you have on your hands to attend a seminar and learn about the errand and concierge service industry.

Do you want to be standing behind the counter at Chick-fil-A filling orders for their chicken sandwiches (I had to throw that in because I LOVE their sandwiches and sweet tea) or do you want to own your own business and make the rules? (If I could step in here for a moment, I would vote for the own business.)









See what I have to put up with as a business owner? (Actually the dogs weren't attacking me. I was just getting licked to death.) I get to pick and choose my clients as well as the hours that I work.

Why not join Danette and myself at our next ECSU seminar and learn the in and outs of the industry while having fun and creating a new career. Visit us at http://www.ecsuniversitytraining.com/ for more information.

I would love to hear what you have to say.

Uncle Sam wants your money!

OK, I am sure he does, but we want it more. (This is Angel talking. My husband doesn't know this, but I made a deal with Uncle Sam. If he gave us some money this year, then I would use it wisely. I am heading to the spa for a much needed massage. I also want to blow some of it on souvenirs in Dallas. OK, I'll admit that I am also using some of it to purchase some informational tools from some of my favorite coaches out there who have been helping me along.)

Join us in Dallas, Texas on February 18-21 as we let our attendees in on the information it takes to run a successful business in the errand and concierge service industry. Not sure what ECSU™ is all about? Then join us on Monday, February 11, 2008 at 5 pm PST/8 pm EST as we discuss what will be covered during each of the four days and take your questions you may have. The call in number is 1-605-475-6000 and the access code is 995845.

We found out how the police were tipped off!

After eating through five boxes of Fruity Puffs just to find my secret decoder ring, I was able to decipher a message that was slipped in under our door at our Errand and Concierge Service University hideout. It turns out that ECSU™ is mentioned in the second edition of Entrepreneur's Start Your Own Personal Concierge Service. Someone sent a copy of the book to the local police department's Errand and Concierge Service unit.

Sergeant Hand (as in helping hand), who is heading up this special unit, was heard this morning on the local news saying "We don't really know what subliminal message that Angel Wilder and Danette Moss are trying to say in this book. The book states that they are teaching the industry basics, but we think there is a lot more than just the basics that they are trying to teach. We hope to get to the bottom of this soon."

I'm still waiting for my new spy gadgets to come in to get more details out to you. I was trying to send a secret message to you guys, but every time I used my invisible ink, I couldn't read what the message said.

We were caught!

It seems that people heard we were going to Dallas in February. The police found us shopping at the local grocery store stocking up on goodies late last night. I was trying to hide behind a People magazine, but then Danette had to mention the word BBQ and all heck broke loose. (I think the police were tipped off that BBQ was some secret code word or something for Dallas.) I tried to make a run for it, but got tripped up when I passed the candy aisle. I leaned down to grab a Twix and that's when they got me.

They took us in for questioning and we told them that we were having a webinar in February and that they had the wrong information, but they didn't want to hear about it. They told us that if we signed a confession letter stating that we would be showing up in Dallas that they would cut us loose. Danette was holding out, but after several hours in an interrogation room with stale donuts and lukewarm coffee it can break a person down. I signed the letter that says that we will still be having our ECSU™ seminar in Dallas February 18-21 and that we will also be holding a webinar February 25-28.

We are back in hiding and we will keep you updated as soon as we can get another message out. We wanted to do the whole message in a bottle thing, but with all of the rain, the bottle kept floating back to us.

Pssst....is anybody there?

Listen, this is Angel. I am in a coffee shop hiding behind today's newspaper and a grande caramel frappuccino trying to throw everyone off my scent. The heat is coming down on us so we have had a change in plans for our training. Instead of our next seminar being in Dallas, we are heading off to Philadelphia in March. For February, we will be having a webinar instead. This way we can be in an undisclosed location, but still get the information to those that want to learn about the errand and concierge service industry.

Wait. Gotta go. I think I have been spotted. I am not sure if it was the whip cream mustache or not. Come back later for more details.
