New Training Site Coming Soon!

Hello,

It's great to be back online. It's been 16 days, 8 hours , and 22 mins. i moved from W. Mass. to san Antonio, Texas. I packed a couple bags,& flew out here with my dog Murphy, a 10 yr old Lab/Rottie/ Shepard mix. That was some experience, esp trying to get all my things, the dog & her huge crate thru the airport. Got some pretty strange looks from passerbys. I had to move everything myself because they wouldn't let me use a flatbed or anything I'm NOT ready to do that again anytime soon!

I started working on a site while waiting for my internet connection to be hooked up (almost thought it never would). I do have a few instructors lined up. we plan on doing both free & paid workshops & courses. I hope to have it together by mid Sept.

There'll be courses on business- both online & offline, self- improvement, health and well-being & more as I assemble more instructors and speakers. I don't want to focus on just one area, learning should be a lifelong project in all areas. I'm exicted and can't wait!

The URL for the site is www.livetrainingcenter.com

as always, you're welcome to stop into my online office if you'd like to teach or make a presentation, chat.... I'll show you the features that make teaching so great in these rooms!
See ya soon!

Training Schedule

Hi everyone,

My name is Kathy Poplawski or just Kathy Pop. I am an Internet Business Consultant, which is a very broad term. In my case, I've combined my past experience in mental health and then business owner with my recent self-education of online classes into running a business online helping people of all budgets create that dream job or business. I didn't really have a clue as to what I should do online when I started actively pursuing an online business , almost 3 years ago. It's totally different from what I had imagined. As most people, I started with affilliate marketing. I must have a Bazillion affiliate sites and links.

Eventhough I have been using computers for 19 years and am adept at troubleshooting (esp.DOS, remember DOS??), performing my own upgrades, and writing simple programs~ I had absolutely no knowledge of HTML or creating websites, SEO, or Podcasting. So, I muddled along until during one of my searches I stumbled accross a free training in a web conference room. I was expecting some high strung person with a great big sales pitch on why I should join their company. I was delighted to see that it was an actual educational class on web building 101. Then I found a few more. I learned faster than I ever did trying to teach myself from books. So, I becamed hooked. I attend whenever possible, even while I doing other things, sometimes in more than 1 at a time.

Now they are all over, on all sorts of topics. Finally companies have discovered the value of the "soft sell" , realizing that people are wary of recuiting pitches and ALL THE HYPE! They've finally dicovered the benefit of developing a relationship with their visitors. Giving away online training has become a subtle marketing tool. I am thankful for that. I've made some wonderful friends through them also.Not to mention all the money I saved from not having to enroll at my local college.

So, whether you're new to the internet or just want to learn how to build your business with the latest trend~ take a class!

I have some listed on my site as a great place to start. Hope to see you there.
