12 Days of Secret Santa, Day 2: From Laurie to Sheryl

By Tea (the Chef) Silvestre 2 Comments

Today’s gift: a high quality color print of the “Be a Chef: An E ntrepreneur’s Manifesto.”

The Giftee: Sheryl Golub of AE Performance Solutions

Submitted by: Laurie Nylund of Panangle

Here’s what Laurie wants the world to know about Sheryl:

Sheryl was my first remote, non-software company client. She left the corporate world a number of years ago, and with her partner, Tanya, started AEPerform. She brought me inspiration with her great example of a successful female-owned business, and by working on her project helped me see that I could broaden my client base beyond just software development companies. She was great to work with and is always so appreciate of whatever I do. She gave me a great testimonial, and I’d like to surprise her with a Secret Santa gift.

Do you know Laurie or Sheryl? If so, send them a note of congratulations (they’re BOTH getting today’s gift) and share what you know about them in a comment below.

And now it’s your turn to show someone how much you care — nominate them for a Secret Santa gift, too. We’ll be taking new nominations through the end of the week (December 14, 2012).

Congrats to Laurie & Sheryl! Thanks to you too Tea for giving them BOTH a Secret Santa gift. What a great idea to remind ourselves to stop and say thanks to those who have made a difference in our lives. I’m off to nominate a good friend of mine

Wow, what a nice surprise, Tea!

I love your Manifesto, as does everyone else voting for your proposal at http://changethis.com/proposal/show/354, I will be proudly placing it in my office right above my desk.

We have a successful design and marketing services company and can envision, design, code, and write copy pretty well. In any case, writing is not our core PASSION. We feel our clients deserve to get the BEST product possible, and we have found through collaboration with others that have different passions, together we can give our clients the best and highest level product possible. This is why we came to Tea. Our experience was exactly what we desired. We were able to work as a team, we involv…Anders Gustavsson

I was dreading working on my website. I was never happy with the generic site that I had, but the thought of revamping and revising it made me uneasy. Then I met Tea. My experience working with Tea on my new website and marketing copy has been nothing short of incredible. Not only did she create a website that looks like a million bucks (for nowhere near what other developers wanted to charge me), she also taught me valuable writing and marketing skills that took my website copy from generic to …Kelli Proia

I have taken many marketing classes over the last few years and they were all great. The problem was I couldn’t take much action on all that I learned. I was missing some critical information that I needed before I could market myself and my business at all. I could not for the life of me find the words to express my brilliance (something we all have.) What made me unique, and how on earth could I find ideal clients without knowing? How could I explain, in words, my special talents? And then it …Nancy Meadows

Tea helped me find my tune! I had so much fun going through the exercises in the first few modules. [They] let me get to know myself and articulate my values and beliefs. The Word Chef Secret Sauce Workshop helped me tell my story and find a theme to brand my business in a way that is truly me. I’d be still lost and trying to figure out that something special if Tea hadn’t coached me through my big “aha” moment during our sessions. A big “thank you” to Tea for offering her Secret Sauce workshop!Rachel Rubin
