What attendees are saying:
“You are right: we need to behave like entrepreneurs.”
“I just started using some of your tips. I am doing my homework and creating online profiles.”
“Can you come back next year?”
“I liked the real-life examples. Also, I enjoyed the part of putting yourself in your customers’ shoes.”
“Thank you! Your energetic presentation made a lot of valid and important points.”
“You made it exciting and time flew!”
“Great to hear from someone who’s successfully used these strategies!”
“You changed the way I think about marketing.”
It’s great that you now have a site promoting the Entrepreneurial Linguist program. I’m going to send my professional association (ATIO) here in Canada a link to the site and encourage them to book a workshop.
@Tom: Thanks, Tom. We really appreciate you passing on the info to the Canadian association. I’d be delighted to share what I know with colleagues in Canada.
Thank you for sharing all these useful information on “entrepreneurial behavior” we should be adapting if we want to survive inflation, recession, competition, the world we live in (or just plain survive & still keep our heads up as interpreters/translators).
Your generosity of spirit is appreciated.
@Caroline: you are very welcome. I am delighted to hear you enjoyed the tips and strategies. I’ll keep on updating this website, so come on back!
I just read you on the ATA newsletter and thought, “She needs to write a book” and I am so happy to know what you are in the process of writing a book. I met you at the CHICATA conference and look forward to getting my copy.
Hallo Judy,
ich war gestern in Deinem Workshop beim BDÜ in München und kam leider etwas spät, so dass ich nicht mehr mitbekommen habe, wie ich mir Deine Präsentation herunterladen kann. Auf Eurer Seite http://www.entrepreneuriallinguist.com finde ich nur den Link Workshops, von dort aber geht’s auf die BDÜ-Veranstaltungsseite. Einen Download-Bereich finde ich nicht. Was mache ich falsch?
Danke im Voraus
Viele Grüße
Manfred Altmann
Hallo Manfred,
danke für deine Nachricht. Du hast gar nichts falsch gemacht — der Link ist nämlich nicht öffentlich sichtbar und nur für die Leute aufrufbar, die auch beim Seminar waren. Hier der Link: http://www.entrepreneuriallinguist.com/download. Das Passwort sende ich dir per Mail.
Alles Liebe
Judy

Hi Tom!
Thanks for the message. I am not the organizer of the conference, just one of the guest speakers.
ACFIT does not have a website, but you can contact Consuelo Cisneros via email cccisneros01@aol.com. By credit you mean credit for certified court interpreters? Yes, there are credits available for those who are certified. The Nevada Interpreters and Translators Association (NITA) has also put up some information on this event. Info here: http://www.nitaonline.org/news/2011/01/acfit-spring-2011-seminar-on-may-7-2011/. However, NITA is NOT hosting this event. For any questions, please contact Consuelo and tell her I sent you. 
Hope to see you in May.
Best,
Judy Jenner
