BIO
Lori J. Osterberg
“I
have learned there is more to success than simply wishing for
it. It’s about developing an image, creating a vision,
and understanding the focus necessary to achieve!”
– Lori Osterberg

Lori’s
entree into the entrepreneurial arena began as most often do – in
the more traditional
corporate lifestyle. After graduating from University of Colorado at
Denver with a Masters degree in Financial Management, Lori worked in
banking, accounting and auditing. It didn’t take her long to realize
that her more creative side was being left unchallenged. While still
working full-time, she co-founded Eyes on Photography, Inc. with her
husband, Andrew.
Eyes
On Photography Inc. started out as a storefront studio, photographing
everything from portraits to weddings to commercial work. In the mid
1990’s, through a series of life changing events, Eyes On Photography
changed its focus, and became one of the premier virtual wedding photography
studios, creating their website www.EyesOnPhotography.com.
In a matter of three years, they specialized in wedding photography,
closed their commercial location, created a virtual studio online to
reach people around the world and proceeded to double and even triple
sales from one year to the next. Then in 2002, she created her first
gift book Being A Bride, her first published work dedicated to the love
and feelings of Being A Bride. She has received numerous awards for
her album designs, and has received several recognitions from PPA’s
AN-NE awards program.
It
was through Eyes on Photography that Lori discovered her penchant for
marketing. The Internet brought on great success for her in the 1990’s,
and she is now sharing that love with others.
Her
success with Internet marketing led her to create a marketing mentor
firm. In 2001, she co-founded Vision Business Concepts Inc., a firm
that mentors and provides marketing expertise to businesses around the
world. Within Vision Business Concepts, she developed the Get Known™ philosophy,
which provides consulting to people to assist them in developing a vision,
creating an image, and setting goals that enable them to stay focused
and build successful businesses. She also established www.VisionofSuccess.com,
and offers a free ezine that enables more than 1000 subscribers to access
her marketing ideas and strategies every month.
Through Vision Business Concepts, she has also create a site, www.VirtualPhotographyStudio.com,
to help photographers build their business into a Six Figure success.
Lori also continues to write and speak on a national level. She is a columnist
for the Denver Business Journal, writing about small business marketing. She
writes regularly for many trade publications both online and off. She has written
many books and training manuals, and lectures based on her material throughout
the country.
Lori
resides in Denver with her husband and daughter Fallon.
Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, gardening, reading
and volunteering at her daughter’s school.
