BBC Friday 27 September 2013 – “Business Case Study” – Christy Dorman, Instructor In Art Of Movement

Posted on by

This Friday we will support local business person Christy Dorman, roundtabling the question “Should I change the name of my business?“

Should I change the name of my business? What a great question! As always with BBC Strategy Roundtables, using one person’s business as a case study actually puts on the table for discussion questions and issues that have broader implications for many of us BBCites.

Bring your business vision and innovation with you — this is BBC at its most curious, interesting, fun, and helpful to all.

Christy Dorman is a friend of BBC Regular & Steering Committee member Annette Walker (astonishinc.com). Christy wants to decide this question soon, because she’s getting ready to move off of blogspot and have a “real” website which leads into the related questions of: “What’s a good domain name?” “How do I pick a domain name when the one I want is taken?”  Unfortunately artofmovement.com is taken, and she has to come up with something. Adding an additional word makes it a bit long. Christy’s current website: spiralchristyyogaandpilates.blogspot.com.

Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all businesswise!

So invite your friends and associates to join us for this thoughtful, if not just slightly analytical, and yet very exciting BBC event — and another delicious cup of BBC!

BBC Regulars Exciting Upcoming Events!

September OfficeXpats Tuesday@Noon Workshops w/ Charlie King (charliekingcoaching.com) ”Playing To The Buzzer”: Ever had an unexpected circumstance derail your plans, where conditions changed, promises weren’t kept and all of a sudden your 6-month timeline looks like it’s now light years from delivery? This month Charlie King will be discussing the challenges of following your business goals and sticking with it until the goals are met. Come join us for a great discussion where you can hear cringe-worthy stories we all have and learn some solid structures for keeping your business on the path to the goals you have. Don’t have a goal? Bring that too! Tools? He’s got those! Tips? Those too! Stories? Too many to count! Register at officexpats.com/playing-to-the-buzzer.

September: Social Media Marketing – Facebook and Pinterest. Registration is now open for the September sessions focusing on Facebook basics and more. Depending on the needs of the class, we may explore building call-to-actions between Facebook, blogs, and email newsletters. Watch OfiiceXpats website/blog for detailsofficexpats.com/hands-on-social-media-marketing.

Coming In October – OfficeXpats Tuesday@Noon Workshops, “World Of WarCraft…er…Wordpress”: (officexpats.com/the-world-of-wordpress). Workshops for WordPress are back for Tuesdays@noon in October! Our most popular sessions by far, WordPress was last offered in February (by Annette Walker). This time, we’ve recruited Eric Amundson, owner of IvyCat Web Services, and one of the organizers of WordCamp Seattle. Eric is well-known in the WordPress Meetup circuits, and he actually recognized me as one of the many people who came up to the “happiness bar” where he was doing his stint as a WordPress advisor! Come learn how WordPress can be used for not only blogging posts but also for complete company websites that can be easily updated. This will NOT be a step-by-step workshop, but rather a survey class. You are welcome to bring your laptops and explore as we go, but we will not be providing hands-on technical support during the sessions. For all you Type A’s, you will find links where Eric has already blogged on the WordPress topic. Register Now at officexpats.com/the-world-of-wordpress.
