A boy who was not predicted to live —but he does, and he does so with a bright smile and an open heart.
He is eager to watch movies, play on the computer, go out with friends and be in school. He has an active life—when he can.
And he has all of this thanks to one person. One woman who demonstrated an incredible amount of care for his life and made a conscious decision to love and care for him unconditionally—even when she was told they did not expect him to make it.
This “Wonder Kid” would not have the life he has today if it weren’t for his “Wonderful” foster mom, Kim.
Living with a life-threatening illness means you live one moment at a time – parent and child. This child has lived with oxygen 24/7. This foster mom has given and supported his desire to live 24/7.
Kevin’s second home is the hospital and it is there he has survived hundreds of visits and procedures, thousands of injections and—well, you get the picture. If not for these visits and the outstanding care he receives there he wouldn’t be with us today.
So, it really goes without saying that getting to the hospital for this family is critical to living a normal life. A reliable vehicle is more than a convenience, more than even a necessity for them. It truly does mean the difference between life and death.
Though Kim is determined and tenacious, it takes more than determination and love to care for Kevin. As he grows his needs are more complex and require more and more resources. Attending to his care is her full time job – one she holds with dignity and grace, and without the luxury of a full time income, benefits or extras.
Simple health complications that you and I wouldn’t think twice about, create a major crisis for this child.
This is why we MUST help them. They don’t need fancy transportation.
All they need is a mini van that can be equipped with a special chair lift for his wheelchair and can transport all of his medical supplies when they go out for what we would consider an everyday drive.
The van they have today is on its last legs. With over 376,542 kilometers,this vehicle is no longer reliable in a crisis situation.
Most of us will not even depend on a car with more than 100k miles to get us back and forth to work every day…
Can you imagine having to rely on an old, worn out vehicle in a family emergency? Would you worry each and every day that when your child or loved one needed care the most, it wouldn’t start or would break down on the way?
Now the Big Question…
How Can You Help Get This Child the Safe and Reliable Transportation He Needs?
It’s Simple!

Learn the Key Tools That Most Business Owners Ignore, and Get People Wanting to Do Business With You
Wouldn’t it be nice if people were calling you and visiting you asking you to sell them your product or service?
Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to compete with your competitors on price?
What would life be like for you if you could charge more for your product or service and people would still feel like they were getting a bargain? Sound like a dream? It doesn’t have to be.
For years I struggled to get customers, and every month I would start back at zero. I was frustrated that no matter how great my services were, I still wasn’t getting referrals!
One day, it clicked. I made a shift in the way I approached my business and everything changed. People started asking me to do business with them! They were sending me email telling me that I had to meet with their friends and family. And you know what the best part of it was? This new way to approach my business was actually easier and so much more fun than the old way.
If you want to learn this new approach for your own business, you won’t want to miss out on this exclusive training!
Here is What You Will Learn:
Part 1
Why appealing to fewer people will get you better results.
Sex matters!
How to identify your perfect customer.
How to develop ‘The Stack’, a marketing messaging system that can be applied to everything you do including: networking; your website; social media; video; promotional messages; etc.
How to craft your message so that people can’t wait to hear more about your business and they instantly think of people that could use your service!
Part 2
The power of video!
How to use video to build your list, build a relationship with your customers, and position yourself as an expert in your industry.
The 5 short videos every business owner should create in order to get noticed on Google. (I have used this technique to get over 80,000 views on YouTube!)
Plus, I will show you all of the tools I used to make videos quickly and on a budget!
I normally charge $700 for the workshop where you’d learn these tools! I am offering them at this event as a thank you for supporting such an amazing cause.

From the Screen to the Register:How to Monetize Your Social Media Efforts
Do you feel overwhelmed and like you are wasting precious time when it comes to Social Media? You are not alone.
In this workshop, I will show you a simple five step process that will help you once and for all understand how to monetize your social media efforts in a way that makes sense. And the magic, is you will instantly be able to relate to these five steps and walk away empowered to use this process over and over again.
You will learn how to find your ideal client on Facebook and Twitter, and how to connect with them in a way that makes sense. This alone will teach you the first part of creating not only an audience but a community.
You will leave this session understanding the step by step process that you need to monetize your social media efforts. And, you won’t feel sleazy or salesy in the process. You can be authentic and genuine.
Too many people are treating social media like it is sales media. It’s like walking into a store and the sales clerk walks up to you and says “I need to pre-approve your credit card to make sure you have money to spend before you shop.” Ah no thanks, move on.
STOP treating people like this on social media. We are social beings, we want to buy but we HATE to be sold to.
Not only will I teach you about Return on Investment, but the new R.O.I which is Return on Influence.
And I promise, no matter how confused you’ve been by Social Media, in the end it will all make sense!

The law of reciprocity is at work all the time, whether you are paying attention to it or not.
It is happening on Social Media all the time — and I am guessing you might not have connected with how this is working “on you” and could be working “for you”.
If you want more people to engage with you – this video will help you to make the connection with how to do that from a place of authenticity and awareness.
I recently had a conversation with a client of mine about Social Media and what it meant to build an online platform and we got to discussing the role of a leader. It occurred to me that most of us do not think of ourselves in term of leadership when it comes to social media.
We get caught up in the day-to-day tactics, and if we are entrepreneurs, the last thing to cross our radar is that our leadership skills are out there in public view for the world to see when it comes to Social Media.
When you work for a corporation all you hear about are leadership skills. It is your leadership skills that have a direct impact on the results of the organization.
You lead people. People take inspired action. Action generates results.
In the absence of leadership most people do not do what they are really capable of. That is why so many people suffer from time management challenges — it’s really not a time management issue, it’s a self-management issue, and well that my friends is our ability to lead ourselves.
Now let’s talk about Social Media.
You have an opportunity to lead a group of people in the Social space, in your industry yet most of the time people are more concerned with the tactics of how to get it all done and have not taken the time to think about how their leadership translates through what they are doing.
When I think of leadership, I think of values, character, integrity, passion and an ability to inspire and move others. What do you think of?
When I think of those things and I ask myself, am I acting in my highest self when it comes to how I demonstrate leadership through Social Media the answer is no.
I don’t think I am the worst leader out there but I also don’t think I have been conscious enough about how I want to be perceived in that role.
This is new territory for many of us and unlike the corporate world — you are never going to be crowned “Leader” on Social Media. It is a position you have to assume, it is a skill you have to demonstrate and the measurement of success will be seen by the influence and goodwill you build through your community.
This week I want you to ask yourself two questions:
1. How do I want to be perceived as a leader when it comes to my behavior on Social Media? 2. What is one thing I can do differently to “up my game” online?
For me, owning my leadership is an important part of taking action. I know that leaders are human, they make mistakes and they can be pretty incredible human beings. I have been blessed to work with some incredible leaders in my life and I have decided to “own my role” when it comes to leadership online.
There is no application process, there is no hiring committee. Anyone can apply for the job and can do a great job of leading their audience, adding value, demonstrating integrity and walking their talk.
I am putting a stake in the ground and choosing to approach all that I do from a leadership paradigm from now on and to be honest — yes it feels a bit scary to write this down and state it so publicly. What if I mess up? What if people criticize me? What if they compare me to others?
Isn’t that what happens anytime we are about to embark on something great? Fear creeps in and tries to stop us. Well I say forget fear, let’s do it anyway. I really wanted to say something else but my new leader requires me to use nicer language 😉
Do you ever get that feeling in the pit of your stomach? You know the one: “Why is that person following ME on Twitter? How did they find me?” and the very next thought is probably…. “I wonder if I should I follow them back?”
Trust me you are not alone, this sort of thing happens all the time! Especially if you are new to using Twitter.
I made a video for you to help with what you might want to do.

Your next-level shift will require you to see your reality with new eyes, just like hers did. It will require you to accept your past with love, and embrace new possibilities in your future.
You’ll be able to hear more of Allyson’s journey to success from an underprivileged life on food stamps, a dad in prison and single mom raising two kids to the ultra-passionate successful leader she is today and the undeniable stand she has for women rising into their greatness in her latest collaboration with Amazon Prime TV.
