I’ve been following Barbara Corcoran for a long time. I remember my sister and I dreaming of real estate riches and gazing at gorgeous photos on The Corcoran Group website 😀
Small Businesses Do It Better hosted a live interview with Barbara Corcoran recently and I created sketchnotes from the session.
Like many others, I am also a huge Shark Tank fan. So, I was delighted to see this tweet from Barbara Corcoran who loved the sketchnotes.
Special thanks to interviewer Carissa Dunphy for asking great questions during the interview.

Dell used the power of graphic recording at each of their Think Tank sessions, which focused on small business and entrepreneurship. I was excited to be the Graphic Recorder for the Philadelphia stop on the tour, #smallbizphilly. The purpose of this event was to create an open, honest and collaborative forum with 30 to 45 influential small business owners, entrepreneurs, startups and local leaders in the area.
Graphic recording allowed participants to see the connections in the conversation. The visual images also allowed Dell to capture meaningful feedback so they can better serve the small business community.
The Business Experts included Melinda Emerson, Josh Kopelman, and Ammi Kassar.
The session started with a review of the infographic I created prior to the event. The infographic was based on a survey of small business owners in Philadelphia.

Each of the business experts led sessions giving advice and answering questions. Check out the visual summaries I created real-time during this event.

Here is some great advice that you can put into action.
Tory Johnson is a speaker , author, and contributor on Good Morning America. Tory is the visionary behind Women for Hire career expos and Spark & Hustle a national conference for business owners. Tory is passionate about small business owners succeeding and her advice is to work from a Top 50 Prospect List.
Tory says, at all times, you should be adding people. companies, associations to your Top 50 that you want to do business with in the future. This should be a living list, meaning you keep adding and taking away names as needed. When you have your Top 50 you can be laser focused on who you will market to and how you will serve them.
That advice gave me the inspiration to draw this picture and start my own Top 50.
Who do you put on your top 50 list? How do you generate leads? Well, let’s step back. You provide a service/product that solves a problem. Who is having this problem? Who could use your help? The answer is your top 50 prospects.
Now I have to admit, I was happy with my list of 5 prospects. When I heard 50, I thought to myself “Aaargh.”
But you know what? I’ve been chipping away at it, and I have 46 now. I’m on a roll.
You can use any tool to keep track of your top 50. My favorite method right now is using the Twitter list feature to keep track of mine.
By the time you read this, I may have my 50 already. Woot! You can do it, and it’s soooo worth it.
Don’t forget the Spark & Hustle conference, it’s a sure-fire way to build your Top 50 list!

The Virginia Women’s Business Conference (#vwbc2012) had such a great line-up of speakers. This event was held on 11/16/12 and I can’t wait to attend next year. One of the most highly tweeted sessions was given by Darnyelle Jervey.
Darnyelle is an award winning author, speaker, and business strategist. She is a business builder and a motivator who empowers women by helping them define their purpose and leverage their Incredible Factor.
Key take-aways from Darnyelle Jervey:
- Release your incredible factor and change the lives of others.
- You should be marketing your business 10-12 hours a week.
- You lose an opportunity to market if you have a one sided business card.
- When a problem is top of mind, people are actively seeking solutions.
- Identify your audience of 1, who has the problem you can solve.
Awesome stuff. You can tell which ones were my favorites because I made them bold above 🙂
I really had fun creating these visual summaries. Especially drawing the wand and the incredible magic dust. Just makes me smile. Hope you enjoy.
