Sounds like a great time. Here in a part of the US where it’s still below freezing most days, I can’t help but be a little jealous looking at the beach pictures. Sounds like a great time.

We are just past the pitching, however being a marketer, I enjoy seeing the pitch for the pitch sake. But just getting my vision right that you mentioned in the post was a huge benefit for me. PS. You missed seeing me with my head shaved for the Worlds Greatest Shave. Aaron G’day Yaro, I spent the full 4 days at the event and pulled out a list of todos for my own business.

I don't think I could stomach the sales pitch part at the end, I'd just feel awful about it. Small group presentations with a no pressure pitch (and no pressure on myself to make a sale because I need to make money for the event organizer) is more my style...

Too many years spend doing things I didn't love are what motivated me to go out on my own as an entrepreneur. That and resenting time away from my family. Now I'm home when my son comes home from school. We can have a brief visit while he tells me about his day. Then I go back to work for an hour before dinner. It's a small chuck of time each day but it's priceless to me. Andrea Yaro,

I will say that i do agree with that. I have just begun to try and start to build a business that I am passionate about and find some focus. Now that I have found that niche i love, the hard part is to no give up and keeping that balance in my mind and life to not give up. thank you for the inspiration and tip about setting the simple goals or steps for the day or week. I find that when i write a things to do list, i feel like i did something when i cross off an item. Without the boring ,”cool post” comment… I will say that i do agree with that.

I just got back from Mexico where wireless internet is scarce or non-existent. That meant a week of no blogging, and my stats show the hit. I've got a lot of catching up to do.
