This event is part of the series: How to Create a Tiny Business That Makes Big Money.
Elaine Pofeldt, journalist and bestselling author of The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business and Tiny Business, Big Money, will interview some of the entrepreneurs featured in her books to share how they created small businesses–by giving life to their ideas for products and services–and turned them into tremendously profitable enterprises that can withstand any challenge.
All of the participating entrepreneurs have reached and surpassed 7 figures. They were able to pivot with agility, creativity, and ingenuity when the pandemic hit, and ended up thriving and growing their businesses in the most adverse of circumstances.
Join Elaine in conversation with:
- Raquel Graham, Roq Innovation
- Joey Healy, Joey Healy Eyebrow Studio
- Dan Mezheritsky, Fitness on the Go
They will be answering the questions: What was your path to creating products or services and differentiating them from others out there? And what were the pivotal points that led to substantial business growth?
Sign up for this program and find out their answers to this question. You’ll get an inside scoop on how these top entrepreneurs created innovative products and services, how they’ve handled challenges, adapted to market trends, developed their brands, increased their sales, and so much more.
Don’t miss the opportunity to ask them your questions!

The Ramsey Job Search Work Team meets every Monday morning. Networking and meeting starts at 9:00 to 10:30. Members are expected to hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of “landings” by those conducting an active and vigorous job search.
Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it’s more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.
Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared “elevator pitch” to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there’s a problem to solve or a need to fill.
Please contact Beth Berkenfeld at bberk2@optonline.net or 201-797-4342 if interested in joining the group.
