Event description

Do you know what your business visions are? Can you describe them in detail? Can you show someone a picture of your business dreams?

This is a great opportunity to; create, hone, focus on, snip at, enhance, augment, write about, change, see, evaluate, digest ... really start to sink into what you want your business to be. AND you will have a visual representation of what that will be on your way to manifesting your business in 3-D!

Can you think of a better way to get the folks around you excited about what you're doing?

I'LL BRING: Posterboard, scissors, glue, tape, pencils, markers, additional magazines.

YOU'LL BRING: *Your Business Visions, Your Creativity, Your Joy *Magaizines with pictures/words that match your Visions *Photos that match your Visions (you have 2 weeks to take some more!)

THE VENUE: Will have beverages, soups, quiche, bagels, croissants

Event Background:

In the Fall of '06, I decided I wanted to buy a used RED Prius by March of '07 for a certain price. Having watched "The Secret" I decided to put a specific picture wtih custom additions of it on my cork board in my office.

The picture I found was of a BLUE Prius. I also drew Spike Spiders on the wheels for snow.

By February of '07 I was "certain" I wasn't going to be finding "my" Prius by March, if ever. However, in March, I took "one-last-look" on Craigslist.

By the end of March, I had purchase my BLUE Prius for the price and in the condition I wanted. I later found some Spike Spiders to go with it. COINCIDENCE?

For the past several months, I've been thinking about hosting a Vision Board Party. One of my phrases is, "It's not just seeing opportunity, it's seizing opportunity that makes things happen."

Well, Biznik has created the perfect venue for seizing this opportunity and bringing together creative, exciting vision-making-real people.

Let's manifest!

    I can't make this one, but Dirk is AWESOME so I'll need at least 3 people to fill my spot. Any volunteers?

    Wow, I'm thrilled that this event has filled up!

    Don't forget to bring in whatever materials you think will add ummphf to your vision board, as this is an exercise in creativity,

    The more senses you bring in the better. Perhaps the right scent to add or the right material to crunch or scratch to bring in the sounds you envision in your business. Maybe a little recording device like kids play with to playback a short snippet of conversation or other sounds that fit your Vision would add just that something extra.

    I'm looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
