Subscribe to Community-wide general discussion Are We Crazy? Grow Your Business...on Amtrak Train #513 on June 27 to Portland, OR!

Hello Biznik friends and potential friends - Up here in Bellingham, WA, we wanted those of you in the Seattle area (of which there are 10,000 or so of you?) to know that we are boarding Amtrak train 513 on 6/27 in Bellingham and heading to Portland, OR.

Why? Well, it is sort of a long story - but bottom-line is that we think (we know) that you can build business AND have a fun adventure at the same time.

Take a look at our listings for the train ride itself - you can get on in Everett or Seattle or Tacoma, etc - anywhere Amtrak stops - and meet up with the "Biznik folks" who will be sitting in one area of the train. Ride back with us the next day - and attend one or two of the planned events whille we are in Portland! Crazy? We think YES, and that is exactly why we are doing it!

Info: http://biznik.com/events/grab-your-business-plan-and-suitcase-bellingham-wa-to-portland-or

The optional Portland events are posted in the comments of that page - or contact myself or Tshombe Brown with questiions - and thanks for reading.

Love to hear anyone's thoughts for what we should make sure we do on this trip - even if you can't attend.

    Hi Lori, Judy and I signed up for this sometime ago and have been counting down the days. We are jumping on in Tacoma, and not only anticipate the ride, but all the events that Tshombe has put together in Portland.

    The one thing I would suggest is that everyone who is going to take the time as it gets closer and read the profiles of everyone that is attending. That way at each stop we don't need to use valuable time "introducing" ourselves. Heck for you in Bellingham, you would be pretty tired of intros by the time we reached our destination!

    Would love to see more of you joining us!!

    Bob, great idea! I am also thinking that we come up with three topics to discuss over the course of the trip - and that each attendee put out an "ask" for what they need in their business so that we can help with ideas to move them forward.

    Am going to see if Christian has any extra Biznik t-shirts for our attendees - or at least a few for a drawing.

    This will be a fun event - see you soon! -- Lori

    Yes, we're crazy, and I can't wait to meet all the other crazies on the train and in Portland!
