Free talk Wed Oct 31 on Sacred Moment of the Sale

Yea, good Mark.

We had our first-ever Biznik event at CubeSpace in Portland and Eva (the owner of CubeSpace) did a hard sell for us to come and do free lunch and learns. She's very convincing.

Just being in Mark's presence I felt as if I could learn alot from him, so I highly recommend taking advantage of hearing him for free.

I'm doing a free Lunch & learn on "Radical Accounting", Friday Nov. 16th, at 1 p.m.

Anyone can do a free lunch & learn at CubeSpace as long as you don't charge. Or you can do a BizNik event there and get paid. So now you know a good resource for anyone who wants to present in Portland. Personally, I recommend charging. Here's why:

I get to go through money phases in my life, as my work and my life are integrated spiritually. I'm coming out of a "starving artist" phase. In case you're going through the starving artist phase, I survived it by living on air, and creating multiple income streams, however small. But mostly, by living on air.

The "starving artist" phase also served a spiritual purpose of healing a childhood conflict. My mother had the bag lady syndrome--completely disconnected to reality. I took on her irrational fears, but because they were so irrational, and not my own, it was deep stuff to heal and release.

I've been through so many money phases. The only one I feel as if I failed was the, "I'm successful all on my own without a man in the picture." As I rebuild my business, the starving artist phase is helping already because I'm finding it very easy to say no to bad clients. I used to take on way too many clients; way too much responsibility. Success is to be enjoyed!

And maybe enjoying your success means giving back and doing a free presentation. I can't speak for anyone else, but for me it doesn't. I don't plan to do any more free events, even though my heart goes out to the "1099er" who is paying more taxes than most corporations because they don't know how to play the game. Anyone can learn. I'm learning all the time, ha, ha.

I loved what I shared at BizJam, but it didn't go over as well as I would have liked. It was my first presentation that didn't go over well, so it took me by surprise. But I'm learning what my readers want to hear. I've come up with new material and I'll be testing it out at CubeSpace, before a real gig in Jan. I hope to see you there.

Sadly, CubeSpace business keeps forcing me to miss Mark's presentations, although really one of the reasons I asked him to speak was because I was very curious to hear what he has to say. Meeting him at the event at CubeSpace and reading his website really intrigued me. We have been getting a lot of calls and interest on today's lunch & learn and hope to see some new folks here to check him out.
