Well at least Tracy and Sue are. In just a few weeks time the National Publicity Summit is being held in New York and we have been accepted as one of the 100 participants they take. We could have gone in October but as far as we are concerned there is no time like the present. It’s a good thing we have access to cash so we can take advantage of unexpected opportunities.
Tracy has to choose the top media people she wants to make contact with and then has to prepare for one on one meetings; pitch and do it quickly. There have been meetings with different specialists: Media (a producer for 7 years with Oprah), Image, and PR. Tracy and Sue are making copious notes and like always we will share all the tips and tricks in our weekly calls and communications with MoneyMinding Certified Advisors.
We have big plans for the knowledge and contacts that will come from participating in this summit. Our MoneyMinding Certified Advisors will receive the maximum beneft we can give in order to reach the countless people who need a fresh perspective in today’s economic environment.

MoneyMinding Network Launch Timely Answer to Personal Money Questions
Victoria BC – MoneyMinding Inc. announced today the launch of its live and online networking component, The MoneyMinding Network. Designed for both financial industry professionals, and the clients who work with them, it features both educational evenings and an on-line social networking presence. “I see the MoneyMinding Network as a vital resource in today’s financial climate, where uncertainty and confusion seem to be overshadowing people’s ability to make good financial decisions”, says Tracy Piercy, CFP, MoneyMinding’s founder. “Networking organizations for business development, community service or simply shared interests have been around forever,” continues Piercy “We are doing something new with networking by integrating day-by-day financial education, unconnected to financial product sales. It’s simply about helping people get better results from their personal finances by asking the right questions and making the right contacts.” One example of the MoneyMinding Network in action is the Mix ‘n’ Mingle, started earlier this year to offer both education and local networking. Each Mix ‘n’ Mingle has drawn close to 100 people who gather to listen to some of Victoria’s most knowledgeable financial and property experts. MoneyMinding was developed by Tracy Piercy, a Certified Financial Planner professional, to teach financial education that explores opportunities “without sacrifice or cutting back”. Since its inception over 3 years ago, MoneyMinding has grown to serve thousands of people across Canada, the USA and around the world. MoneyMinding also supports its sister organization, The MoneyMinding Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to promoting financial literacy to people who otherwise could not afford it.

Zig Hancyk, MoneyMinding’s new Chief Operating Officer had these words to say to MoneyMinding advisors and members gathered at our “international headquarters” Wednesday.
I wanted to be here today to tell you why I have invested in MoneyMinding and why I chose to be Tracy’s business partner. I certainly do not know as much as Tracy does in the area of financial planning but I do know a good business opportunity when I see one. I have been involved in growing successful companies over the last 25 or 30 years and I can say that this one really excites me.
I believe that MoneyMinding has positioned itself well in a market niche that is not well served at the moment. The unique approach of tying personal values and goal setting to sound financial planning techniques is the basis behind MoneyMinding’s Success Principles. MM’s various programs are used by financial planning experts as well as individuals who want to accelerate their wealth and reach their goals. I like to call this “purposeful wealth”.
I chose to be Tracy’s business partner because I trust and believe in her…..which are the most important criteria in my choice. The other is that we have complementary skills that are needed to make MoneyMinding and its stakeholders, shareholders and investors successful.
