Here’s what you can expect:

• Ideas are a dime a dozen, so we’ll assess your action steps and execution plans so you know when to pause and when to pounce to make big things happen.
• There’s no time to get tripped up, so we’ll reveal powerful time management techniques and we’ll bust the real fears that may be preventing you from tackling all you want.
• Standing out among the cluttered masses is key, so we’ll plot branding, social media, marketing and traditional PR strategies that actually work to get you noticed by the right people.
• This isn’t a hobby, so we’ll talk openly about money—from readily available funding sources to pricing for profit to sales techniques that are anything but sleazy.
• Going it alone sucks, so we’ll introduce you to the best group of BBFs—business best friends—the people who’ll hold you accountable and fuel your success.

Want to Volunteer? At each event, we have a limited number of spots for volunteers to assist our staff. If you’re interested, you must be willing to arrive by 7am and stay until as late as 7pm. You will enjoy bits and pieces of the event, but you’ll also be assigned a designated role with various tasks that will prevent you from experiencing the program like a registered attendee. It’s a fast-paced day with lots to juggle. If you’ve worked in client-facing roles and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves to help execute an amazing event, send us an email to info@sparkandhustle.com telling us about yourself in 200 words or less. Explain why you’d be the perfect volunteer. Include your contact details too. Thanks!

Tory Johnson will moderate the full day, share her expertise and introduce attendees to our all-star line-up of experts who are running successful businesses and will explain how you can do it too.

• Daring decision:  “I lost a bet in a dart game and as a result had to agree that at some point I would sing in public, on cue, no matter what. A year later, I got a phone call with instructions to come to the Cotton Bowl that afternoon – no notice at all – and had to sing the national anthem for a Major League Soccer game that was being broadcast on ESPN.  I did it!  (…And the next time I bet him on a dart game, I won a Jeep. )

She now teaches this strategy to thousands of people every year. Sarah is an award-winning blogger, radio and television contributor and author.

• Little known fact: “I used to be terrified to speak in front of people. In college, I would throw up before presentations and at one point, I even told a professor that a family member had died so I wouldn’t have to present a paper in front of 12 people. I started my workshops with only 4 people in them and now there are hundreds of people. Little by little, I was able to overcome my biggest fear.”

She is a national award winning salesperson – and was the second youngest sales manager in Canada for CBC Television (Canada’s oldest network).

• Almost threw in the towel when…: “I had to end a business partnership within months of starting my biz,  my boyfriend broke his leg and was out of work for 3 months and my step-daughter came to live with us.  It all worked out for the best but yowza it was quite the roller coaster ride!”

Spark & Hustle draws on community and builds camaraderie unlike any other conference series. The attendees Tory Johnson attracts to her events are a rare breed. Yes, they’re serious about small business and they’re eager to expand their influence and boost their bottom line. But there’s a whole lot more. These are kind, curious, nice, fun, quirky, candid, determined, loyal, big-hearted, really good women—plus a handful of great men. They’re the people you want to hang out with and do business with. You don’t find that everywhere.

If this describes people you know, then we’d love for you to join the Spark & Hustle Host Committee and become one of Tory’s Top 20 at the event in your area.

It’s pretty simple: register yourself for at least one event and then refer registrants by reaching out to the people you know and believe would benefit from attending. (We’ll gladly send you tips on how to easily accomplish this.)

As a token of our appreciation, we’ve created a sensational benefits package to honor your support.

If you’re interested and ready to rock, please send an email to host@sparkandhustle.com letting us know which event(s) you’ve registered for and include your name, email, phone, location, a bit about you personally and professionally. Also tell us why you’re an ideal Spark & Hustle host to join Tory’s Top 20. You’ll hear back within 24 hours tops.
