Jackie Tulos

Jackie Tulos

Jackie Tulos is a working mom with over 21 years of experience in the dental industry.  But there was a time when her challenges met an opportunity. 

In 2006, Jackie’s mother had cancer, she had three kids, and needed more time to spend with both.  So she looked to the Internet as a possible solution. 

Ms. Tulos will talk about these and other challenges (and opportunities) as Michael’s guest tonight on Logical Soul Talk at 6 pm.  Learn about some of the struggles she has overcome, and her continued efforts to balance two careers and a family.  Ms. Tulos will also touch on her current passion:  teaching small businesses how to brand themselves using social media.

Since 2006, Jackie has become one of the leading experts in small business-related Interent marketing.  Through her own small company, Infinite Possibilities Marketing, LLC, she works with clients to help them build an effective online presence, raise their Google ranking, and increase traffic.  She shows how this can be done from her own blog/website. 

In the beginning, she admits, it was just about convenience.  “It (Internet marketing) was a great business to start,” says Jackie. “I could do it any time of day, 3am or 1pm. This was great because I never knew when my mom was going to need me.”

Today, that business is growing enough to where Jackie soon hopes to quit her “day job” and devote full time to her passion.  With help and support from her husband Joe and her three children, Madison, Taylor and Blake, she is getting there quickly.

So if you are a working mom looking for home business ideas,  want to learn more about social media, or a business that just needs more customers, tune in tonight to learn how to turn your hassles into opportunities.  The call-in hotline is (347) 843-4544.

Brigitte and Michael Craig

I am interviewing myself as guest tonight on Logical Soul Talk at 6 pm. Why?  I think I have a few awesome secrets to share to help you “read” another person, whether they are your lover . . . or that neighbor of yours you can’t stand!

Understanding motives and behavior is the fist step towards knowing your place in the world and finding that happiness you’ve been missing.  Knowing your “place,” however, does NOT mean “giving in” or “submitting.”  It refers to a sense of belonging that all of us seek, but rarely take on.  Its a sense that, no matter what happens around us, I’m OK right here . . . content with being inside my own skin.

While happiness follows me these days, I made sure it never found me while growing up.  As a very awkward child, I could never have imagined myself being an elegant speaker or radio host.  In fact, as a child I was so physically and emotionally uncoordinated, I had difficulty forming complete sentences without lapsing into bodily jerks, silly sounds and sputtering.  I couldn’t look anyone in the eye, and remember thinking that no one wanted to hear anything I had to say!  Consequently, from an early age I learned the art of listening . . . and it served me well over the years.

Tonight on the show I’ll go into some of the beliefs and attitudes that brought me out of my own inner maze, and how you can develop some of these same inner skills needed to develop confidence as a good interviewer and speaker.  This information will certainly come in handy for your next job interview, negotiation, or argument with your spouse.

Call in tonight at (347) 843-4544 to enter the conversation!

Atlanta Internet Marketers Meet

Guest Don Myers

Radio Guest Don Myers

Last night’s radio broadcast of Logical Soul Talk (the interview with Don Myers) was made from a downtown restaurant before the monthly meeting of AIMM (Atlanta Internet Marketing Millionaires), a group of dedicated online business folks who gather to share ideas and network.

The brainchild of Latron Thorne and assisted by Mastermind expert Nancy Gerber, AIMM’s main function is to serve its dozen or so members as a kind of practical think tank for creating websites and driving business.  This past meeting we all learned how to connect with one another via various social media sites.  Although most members are professionals, we still needed a nudge to get this done . . . and it was!

Personally, I attend this group to stay connected with brilliant minds and big hearts, and to learn more about membership sites, online shopping carts, and how to set up teleseminars and webinars.

Currently, AIMM is closed to new membership, although guests are welcome from time to time. There are tentative plans for offer online courses related to the material covered.  Stay tuned to this website for updates.

Rennell Garrett

Rennell Garrett

Rennell Garrett likes to Google and Yahoo. A lot. He will share this passion  (and much more) tonight at 6 pm on Logical Soul Talk with Dr. Michael Craig.

This Cleveland, Ohio, native loves to share his Internet passion with clients – certain small and medium sized companies who aim to stay in business, attract new customers, and increase their bottom line.   These companies also want the assurance that they are hiring a seasoned marketing professional – not just some kid with a website.

Mr. Garrett is the consummate professional.  He graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in Business and Applied economics.  While in college, he started using the Internet to augment his sales skills and abilities.  Before long, he was hooked.

“Almost overnight, the Internet changed the way companies find customers” says the former IBM Sales and Marketing Specialist who, before graduation, also attended IBM’s prestigious Global Sales and Marketing School.

Rennell is Google Adwords Certified as well as a Yahoo Certified Search Ambassador.  This, he admits, is a fancy way to say he knows his way around the block when it comes to using these giant search engines to target customers for companies.

His blog – RennellGarrett.com – provides articles and tools that help business people grow their company.  Check it out . . . and don’t miss his interview at 6!  If you’d rather call in, the radio show hot-line is (347) 843-4544.

Tommie Powers

Tommie Powers

Tommie Powers is a full time Internet marketer living in Douglasville, Georgia.  He has been doing this over the past 2 years and has been successful enough to easily support a family of five.   Tommie will share some of his secrets to both life and happiness with Michael Craig on Logical Soul Talk, Tuesday, Feb. 2nd at 6pm. Click the link to listen online, or call (347) 843-4544 to hear the show and/or ask Tommie a question.

Mr. Powers was born the son of a Vietnam veteran, and early learned about anger, and other emotional ups and downs.  He is therefore committed to showering as much love and affection on his wife and three children as possible, and has reported success in doing that.

During the show, Mr. Powers will cover some of his major life decisions, and will share some of the little-known secrets he has found that can turn anyone into a home-based business success.  Tommie calls himself the “Wordpress fanatic” and will reveal how the “average everday guy” can create websites and start getting heavy online traffic in just a matter of hours.

Spread the word about this show. If you have any interest at all in creating an online business that works, Tommie is the guy to hear!

Latron Thorne

Latron Thorne

Latron Thorne was born and raised in Atlanta.  He also owns a piece of it, and today at 6 pm he will discuss his life and times in the rough-and-tumble world of the Atlanta real estate market with Dr. Craig on Logical Soul Talk radio program. You can hear it by clicking on the link, or calling into the show by dialing (347) 843-4544.

After graduating with a Journalism degree in 1999 from Florida A&M, Latron became the public relations manager at AT&T in New Jersey for four years until he was laid off.  It was then he realized that climbing the corporate ladder was NOT the way to financial freedom and became, in his words, “unemployable” as a full-time real estate investor.

Today, Latron still buys and sells Atlanta income properties and never looked back.  He spends his free time scuba diving, sky-diving, zip-lining, and cliff hang-gliding.  He has also formed a local mastermind group for “serious” Internet Marketers.

Today on the Blog Talk Radio show he will discuss his new-found prosperity, how this all came about, and how he plans to monetize his growing network of talented entrepreneurs.

We will try once more . . .

(Damon was originally scheduled for December 29th, but due to the death of my mother, and technical problems with the local Wi-Fi connections, we had to reschedule. )

Damon is from New Jersey and currently lives in the Atlanta area.   He is a true bargain hunter who applies his skills to finding the best and most valuable “stuff” on the Internet, and has saved me big bucks along the way.

I’ll be asking him about how he got his success, and how YOU can explode your online business presence!
