Orlando, Fla. – April 29, 2009 – Are you interested in starting a property preservation or trash out business?  Frank Patrick’s company, REO ResQ, offers a turnkey franchise solution. Frank Patrick is considered one of the country’s top property preservation and REO (bank foreclosure) experts, and currently is at the helm of a property preservation company, REO ResQ™.  REO ResQ™ provides securing, cleanup and ongoing maintenance of bank owned, foreclosed property.  

With the current state of the housing market, banks and financial institutions are finding that preserving and maintaining REO properties can be an overwhelming task.  REO ResQ™ provides these companies with trained contractors to secure, clean out and maintain their foreclosed properties until they are sold. 

Frank Patrick said, “Right now is a great time for contractors who have positioned themselves to be the service provider of choice for banks with foreclosed properties to maintain.  With foreclosures across the country at such an elevated rate, these banks and financial organizations will find themselves unable to keep up with the demand of keeping these properties maintained and ready to be sold in the future.” 

Patrick is also the founder of the American Society of REO Specialists™ (ASREOS), and was recently featured in USA Today in a full-page color spotlight as a member of America’s PremierExperts™.  Frank was also a recent featured guest on The Next Big Thing Radio Show.

Celebrity Business Makers and co-authors of Celebrity Branding You®, JW Dicks and Nick Nanton, are branching out across the country by offering franchises based around their revolutionary concept of Celebrity Branding® 

Orlando, Fla. – April 22, 2009 – Tapping into the American entrepreneurial spirit, J.W. Dicks, Esq. and Nick Nanton, Esq. are counting on dedicated and passionate entrepreneurs to bring their proven and wildly successful business model known as the Celebrity Branding Agency™ to cities and communities across the country by making franchises available for the first time ever. 

Principals in Dicks, Nanton & Glass Celebrity Branding Agency™, co-authors of the bestselling book Celebrity Branding YOU™ and partners in the TV and media enterprise America’s PremierExperts™, Dicks and Nanton have spent years developing the Celebrity Branding® potential of professionals and business owners. 

“We tested the system by developing the Dicks, Nanton and Glass’ Celebrity Branding Agency™,” says Dicks, “and now franchisees will have a chance to open up their own Celebrity Branding Agency™ on a local level. The nationwide credibility a small business owner will receive is even more effective in a local marketplace. This type of franchise can be a profit center for a smart entrepreneur seeking to launch a new business or as an addition to an existing professional service business. In this economy where people are constantly reinventing themselves and venturing into new careers, there is unlimited potential.” 

Dicks and Nanton meld the traditional outlets of print and television and the burgeoning world of online social media to create momentum, start a buzz, and drive attention to their clients. Using modern media strategies based on tried and true principles, fashioning a blend of online and offline marketing platforms (including social media) to convey a single and penetrating, personality driven vibe and message, the Celebrity Branding Agency™ has created an unbeatable business model for the modern age. It’s a blend of ad agency and PR firm meets modern business development and marketing consultant that then integrates multiple channels of media to drive home a single, unforgettable theme—and even includes accountability. 

Nick Nanton, Esq. said, “We’ve built a very unique, proprietary system that includes managed services and continuing monthly income on all of our products and services so our franchisees don’t have to ‘hope’ for new people to hire them every month in order to make money. While they should always continue to prospect for new business, their existing clients are going to make them money every month and they ultimately are going to be adding to the business and clients they already have in place. While most sales reps have to start from scratch  again once they sell their product because they don’t receive any recurring income from the sale, our agents  do, so they don’t have to run on the “hamster wheel.” From their first sale, they know they’ll make money every month from the moment they walk in and turn on the lights!” 

“The first step in the process of Celebrity Branding® has always been an initial consultation to learn about a potential client’s business, where they are currently and where they hope to be,” says Nanton. “Now that will be the franchisee’s role. They will provide the prospective client enough of an overview that they’ll be able to see their business in a fresh light with new and exciting possibilities. With the leverage we provide them, they have the tools to reach so many more people. It’s very satisfying for Jack and I to know that through our efforts, we are helping them make a difference in thousands and eventually even millions of lives,” Continues Nanton. 

The goal of JW Dicks and Nick Nanton with this venture is to build the largest independently owned Branding Agency in the world—and they know the best way to achieve that aim is to have a trusted advisor (i.e. the franchisee) in every city.

 ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. –-The U.S. Economic Stimulus program has many good elements that will help small businesses but some miss the point, according to Christopher Hurn, chief executive officer of one of the nation’s leading providers of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans for small business owners. 

Hurn, CEO of Mercantile Capital Corporation based in Altamonte Springs and a popular speaker at banking conferences and seminars who posts his own blog at www.504blog.com, said the U.S. Economic Stimulus program deserves kudos for promising to buy up to $15 billion worth of guaranteed SBA loans. 

Hurn said the stimulus package also eliminates all SBA fees on both SBA 504 loans and the agency’s SBA 7(a) loan program at a cost of $245 million. 

In addition, the administration has announced it will waive capital gains taxes for small business owners who hold or have held their shares for a minimum of five years. 

“Those are positive signs for small business owners,” Hurn said. 

“The Treasury buys in the secondary market will add liquidity to the banking environment and thaw out the secondary market and commercial lending—small business lending,” Hurn explained. 

But, Hurn cautioned, temporarily eliminating fees on SBA loans won’t have much effect on economic stimulation or job growth. 

“Fee elimination, even on a temporary basis, doesn’t impact small business owners that much because these aren’t out-of-pocket fees. These fees are actually financed in the loans, so even though it sounds good rhetorically, I don’t know that it’s going to have much of a stimulative effect,” Hurn said. 

Hurn said the stimulus program fails in some other regards as well. 

“We haven’t addressed any taxation at all,” he said. “There are no new higher tax credits for 2009, which I think would help grow the job base if properly incentivized. There is no mention of a payroll tax holiday for 2009.  That would put more dollars in employees’ and employers’ pockets, and these are the kinds of elements that would have an immediate effect and jump start the economy,” Hurn said.

Glenna Griffin, Remarkability Expert, was recently featured on “The Next Big Thing™” Radio Show, showcasing experts across a wide array of industries. 

Orlando, Fla. – April 16, 2009 – Glenna Griffin, COO of SpeakAmerica and Ultimate PowerSpeak and co-founder of the Let Your Life Speak Foundation, was recently featured on an episode of the groundbreaking new internet radio show, “The Next Big Thing™.”  The show gives listeners exclusive insider interviews with experts and uncovers what the “Next Big Thing™” is for businesses and consumers alike.  The experts featured on each episode are dedicated to spreading knowledge and awareness in their field of expertise and making significant contributions to their industry and the marketplace as a whole.

Glenna Griffin was chosen to appear on the show for her expertise and success in the communications training industry. Glenna Griffin is a sought after speaker and trainer, and driven to encourage others to make positive choices and changes in their lives. 

Griffin along with her business colleague Bart Queen were interviewed and shared how their company SpeakAmerica helps people find their voice, and in turn find their purpose.  One of the main topics covered during the show was the correlation between communicating properly and effectively with others and finding success in life and business.  They also discussed how many businesses rely on electronic means of communication as opposed to learning how to speak to clients and co-workers in effective ways. Other topics included the communication skills of President Obama, the state of communication across generations, how public speaking can enhance relationship building with an audience, and how they can influence people to be positive, when there are so many influences around them. 

About public speaking, Glenna Griffin said, “People lose sight of the fact that all of their communication is really focused around building relationships.  Whether you’re up on stage, in front of a small group, or you’re one on one in your living room with somebody, it’s all about the connection and the building of a relationship with those people or that person.” 

“Once you realize it’s not a big scary speech, and you realize that it’s about building a relationship, the butterflies definitely lessen and decrease,” Griffin continued.
