Latinos from as Far as Ojai Drive to Hear Popular Motivational Speaker, Maria Marin, at Small Business Expo

María Marín guest speaker at El Clasificado's Su Socio de Negocios seminar

Los Angeles, CA (Vocus) October 20, 2010

Hundreds of excited small business owners gathered at the Quiet Cannon in Montebello eagerly awaiting the arrival of Maria Marin. As she walked out on stage, the energy only grew, with the audience rising to a standing ovation at the 2010 Su Socio de Negocios Expo. The Puerto Rican motivational speaker gave a culturally insightful presentation on the art of negotiation, reminding the attendees to ask for what you want and deserve, make sure to not shortsell yourself and to set your expectations higher. Then you will achieve even more.

â??I donâ??t speak strictly about the economy, but personal motivation applies to everything in life,â? said Marín after delivering her speech. â??The mind is the true money maker.â?

The famous radio host of â??Tu vida es mi vidaâ? (Your Life is My Life) took pleasure in the publicâ??s enthusiasm for being â??extroverted, loud, and cheerful,â? and hoped â??everyone returns home with a different mindset, because in the end emotional stability is more important than a business.â?

Milquíades de Jesús, a Dominican entrepreneur, said, â??I thought it was a very good speech and canâ??t wait to apply it to my business. I liked the idea of asking for more to obtain more. I think it really makes sense.â?

In addition to being a great opportunity for attendees, some of which traveled from cities as far as Rancho Cucamonga and Ojai, the event delivered for sponsors like Sage, a marketing company. â??The truth is, I thought there was going to be less activity, but Iâ??ve been alone at the booth and havenâ??t been able to sit down for a minute,â? exclaimed Carlos Kohan, the companyâ??s director.

Following her speech, Marín autographed copies of her book â??Pide más, espera más y obtendrás másâ? (Ask for More, Expect More, and You Will Get More), for the many fans lined up after the event.

The annual expo, connecting Latino small business owners to major product and service providers, was sponsored by Wells Fargo, Verizon, Staples, State Farm and the SBDC, and presented by El Clasificado.

â??Su Socio de Negociosâ? is a series of events provided in Spanish to help entrepreneurs further grow and flourish their small businesses. In addition to the expo, free small business breakfast workshops are held throughout the year on topics such as using low cost accounting software, marketing using free technology tools, and how to use Facebook for business. The next breakfast seminar will take place on December 1st at El Clasificadoâ??s corporate office in Norwalk. The SuSociodeNegocios.com website and electronic newsletter reach more than 25,000 small business owners each week and provide ongoing tips for businesses operating in U.S. Latino grassroots communities.

Digital Signature Introduced Mint Studio, New Wireless Computer Speaker System with Multi-room Capability for $129

Mint Studio with USB Transmitter and Remote. Mint Wireless USB Transmitter can stream audio wirelessly up to three Mint Studio Speakers within 100 ft.

Santa Ana, CA (PRWEB) October 7, 2009

Digital Signature introduced its second generation wireless computer speaker system, Mint Studio, after a series of their first generation products: Mint 130, 220, and 300 since 2007.

The Mint Studio is a good complement for laptop users who use their computers for most of their music listening, movie or video watching, or playing games. Set up is easy. No software or Wi-Fi connection is needed. Just plug the included Mint USB transmitter in, and play anything from the computer to enjoy powerful audio wirelessly.

To overcome long time skepticism on wireless audio, Mint Studio made significant progress on two of the most critical issues for any wireless audio system, wireless interference and operation range. First, Mint Studio decreased wireless interference significantly by hoping between two different channels. Second, it doubled operation range by amplifying its RF signal. The Mint 2G wireless solution extends its in house operating range to 100 feet which can cover a 2500 sq ft house, the average size of an American home.

"More and more people use their computers especially laptops, for their primary source of music, movies, online videos, and games. But look at the built-in laptop speakers! They are far too inferior for these huge tasks" says Jay Jeon, VP of product marketing of Digital Signature. "Mint will unleash audio from the laptop giving freedom and audio nirvana to laptop users with an affordable price from years of experience and volume production"

Mint Studio provides rich and clear sound with a Texas Instrument amplifier and two three inch advanced alloy (magnesium/aluminum) cone full range transducers. It can generate powerful sound as loud as 103 decibel at 1 meter, which is equivalent to a Jack Hammer at 1 meter, without distortion.

Although Mint Studio comes with one Mint speaker, the included Studio USB transmitter can stream audio up to three Mint speakers simultaneously. Users can simply add Mint Studio speakers for multi-room audio. Mint Studio is equipped with an iPod dock to play both iPods and iPhones while charging. It also has an auxiliary input for MP3 players and game consoles.

Bush, Bradshaw, O'Reilly, Stein and Palin Lead Impressive Speaker Line-up for Atlanta Seize the Day Motivational Seminar



Bush, Bradshaw, O'Reilly, Stein and Palin Lead Impressive Speaker Line-up for Atlanta Seize the Day Motivational Seminar

Atlanta, GA (Vocus) October 20, 2010

After completing a successful Seize the Day seminar in Columbus, Ohio, on October 6th, Seize the Day, Inc., is now gearing up for its next motivational business seminar in Atlanta on November 9th at Philips Arena. The event is expected to draw a large crowd to the downtown Atlanta business district.

According to Seize the Day spokesman Doug Williamson, tickets are currently selling at a brisk rate. "We are pleased with the current interest we've had in our Atlanta seminar," stated Williamson. "We are expecting a capacity crowd. We firmly believe they will not be disappointed in the speakers or in the exciting activities we have planned throughout the day."

Several headliners who will appear at the Atlanta event also spoke at the Columbus event. NFL great Terry Bradshaw kept the crowd engaged with stories from his Pittsburgh Steelers days. "Back then we called our own plays, we made our own choices," said Bradshaw. "I didn't want to fail with somebody else's advice. I wanted to be in charge. Sometimes you just have to do that. It's amazing what can happen when you decide to take charge."

Fox news icon Bill O'Reilly shared encouraging words of wisdom. "I was blessed with talent, but so are you," stated O'Reilly. "I have a decent intellect but you probably do, too. I am unbelievably obnoxious and you probably aren't. So you're way ahead of me."

Former First Lady Laura Bush inspired attendees with personal memories, both personal and painful, from her days in the White House. "No matter what happens, this country is like a big ship," she stated. "We may lean left or right but we sail on. I feel so fortunate to have experienced such a slice of history."

Actor-commentator Ben Stein keyed on today's economy. "There's never been a perfect time in the economy. This time around it's a little different. We had a housing collapse, which led to a credit collapse. In most families, everybody has to make a living. One way to do that is to invest and trade in the stock market. While it's difficult to time the market, it can be done, especially with today's incredible advances in computing power," observed Stein.

In addition to Mrs. Bush, Mr. O'Reilly, Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Stein, the Atlanta line-up will also feature former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who will be speaking on how to overcome adversity. Sales training master Tom Hopkins, leadership development expert John Maxwell, investing guru Phil Town and motivational master Les Brown round out the impressive line-up.

All speakers will appear live on stage and in person during the Atlanta event. Participants will experience a high-energy arena-style event with pyrotechnics, music, contests, networking opportunities, organized team spirit, prizes and live entertainment throughout the day. Doors to Philips Arena open at 6:45 a.m. The event runs from 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.
