It's the best day ever (again) because I am here to introduce you to our first speaker for #IndieCruise Mastermind 2017. Her name is Melody Bockelman and she is the founder and CEO of Private Label Insider in Harlingen, Texas. If you haven't yet registered for our 7th annual retreat for creative entrepreneurs, you can do so here.
Melody has been a member of the Indie Business Network for several years, and we have worked together on multiple projects. She is always a pleasure, and her knowledge of the subject matter she'll be speaking on is top notch. Please join me in welcoming Melody, as we prepare to gather at the beautiful Club Med Luxury Resort & Spa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, on January 15 – 20, 2017.
Melody's's topic is How to Add Private Label and Contract Manufacturing to Your Existing Business Model.
As you may recall, our theme for #IndieCruise 2017 Mastermind is Refresh | Refine | Results (more about that here), and Melody is the perfect person to help us do all three. Not only is she an expert at helping you use the private label and contract manufacturing of others, but she is equally equipped to help you add private label and contract manufacturing services to your existing business mode. Indeed, this will be like a double whammy! We'll focus mainly on expanding your own business services model, but you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions on both sides of the equation.

Hear + Embrace + Act
The first step in growing personally and professionally is to hear the things you need to hear that will set you on the course to the work and the life you want.
After you hear it, you must embrace it. We all hear a million things a day, but we only embrace a small fraction of what we hear. To do otherwise would make it impossible for you to make any progress at all. Be discerning. Err on the side of minimizing information. Embrace only those things that will move you closer to your goals.
Once you embrace carefully selected pieces of information, you can act on them — and then, Break all the Rules, Build Your Own Corporate Ladder and Create the Life You Love.
Melody's presentation is full of information you need to hear if you want to propel your handmade business to the next level. We will help you embrace it in a safe, unplugged environment where you will have a chance to ask all the questions you want, and to Mastermind what you learn with others. Then, in between excursions and mornings at the spa, we'll help you act on the information you have heard and embraced, so you can grow your business, have more fun, and make more money in 2017 and beyond.
It will be unlike any business retreat or conference experience you've ever had before.
