You're Leaving Value on the Table

Most business owners are leaving value on the table and don't even know it. Profit that quietly slips through the cracks. Recognition they've already earned but never claimed.

Neither one is a skills problem. It's about knowing what to hold on to and how to be seen for it. That's the thread running through this year's speaker lineup, and it's exactly where two of our PIP26 speakers come in.

Today we start introducing the stage, beginning with two women who tackle both sides of that equation.

"The money and the credibility are already there. It's time to capture both."

To your success,

Andy & Vanessa Rodriguez
Co-Founders, Florida Professionals Association

Speaker Spotlight

Meet Two PIP Speakers

Michelle Jacobik
Profitability Strategist / Author / Speaker
MichelleJacobik.com

We're so glad to welcome Michelle back to the stage!

A business profitability strategist with three decades in the trenches, including building a multi-million-dollar agency of her own, she teaches from real experience, not theory. Her session, Profitability by Design: Elevating Your Business to Support Your Next Level, digs into why so many owners feel overworked and underpaid despite solid revenue. Through a hands-on exercise, she'll help you spot the gap between what you bring in and what you actually keep, pin down what you should truly be earning, and build a business that funds the life you want, not just the bills.

Expect a real mindset shift and a clear path from guesswork to steady, confident profit.

Meet Two PIP Speakers

Lorrie Thomas-Ross
CEO/ Marketing Strategist / Speaker
WebMarketingTherapy.com

You met her company last week. Now meet the founder.

Lorrie is a marketing strategist, speaker, and advisor, the mind behind Web Marketing Therapy® and the MARKEDING® approach, which trades stress, hype, and overwhelm for clarity, ethics, and real results. Her session, Leverage Your Expertise to Achieve Authority Status, answers the exact question this issue opened with: why do some experts get recognized while others with the same skills stay invisible? You'll walk away knowing how to position what you know, create content that matters, and use digital tools to build visibility, credibility, and momentum.

Last year she sat on a panel. This year she has the stage. That's the FPA story in motion.
