I got surprise company ... so sorry to cancel ... Dawn

Sounds exciting! I sure hope I get to come!

I think we are well warned about putting warped amount of time into it. This is easy to do because it is so easy to get sucked into the black hole of web time anyway and there are so many whistles and bells to play with and tools necessary to make it all work.

I like that you end with the word "YEY" ... we are at an unpredictable place with all of the various apps and possibilities.

Thanx for another point of view! ... Dawn

Ahhh, Biz Planning ... I have done it so many times for bankers, SBA and just plain for myself! The latter is kinda fun and I am in favor of the notecards and post it notes to lay it all out with the minimum of erasure. After the cards are all filled out they can be filed for future use or left in plain site for motivation and guidance or to be moved around as appropriate ... like a timeline wall map of a different sort.

I used to like to include my staff since their motivation and participation made most of it come true! We had quarterly parties to review our progress and evaluate the availability and deservedness of bonuses.

Soooo sorry I missed this ... there were several reasons I wanted to come... one held me back but that ruled my day ... client support. I 'm glad you had a great event! ... Dawn

Thanx, Adam and Ray! Great event and wonderful lunch. The concept is wonderful and such and honesly complete tool kit.... Dawn

Great contribution to my memory banks! Having jus tfinished a show for a friend, I can now send her some real definiste ideas on improving for next year!

I find the staffing the biggest frail point in so many booths ... they need ALL of teh information and toms of motivation to make a good showing and committment to the end result. I will now be getting togethe a check list for everyone who will be working the show and make sure they can committ to it completely.... Dawn

Nice and concise listing, Stacy ... You reminded me to think of each new product or idea launch as an entity that needs it's own "kit" for publicity and for client follow up!... Dawn

I love your reframe of 'MIS-STAKE' ... how many takes do they need on a movie set? I think I shall simply reframe MY attempts to this concept! I, too, created a glass ceiling periodically throughout my travels ... time to throuw away the windex and open the window!... Even today I clarified something I have grappled with for years ... Thanx, Karen... Dawn

Ackkkk ... just found this link and misssed teh sign up ... I will keep my eye out cuz I CAN"T miss this one!!!... Dawn

Yet again I come to you for the breaking news in Social Networking! I now have one more reason to follow your newsletter and collumns here in Biznik!!!... Dawn

WOW! I will be jumping on the icon search... right now for a minute! When you talk about the profile, do you mean the Google profile? Are you saying we should do it personally as well as for our business?

Been Here, Done It... it is worth the repeat after the initial practical "dun it'... Steve has so much to offer, i coudn't get it all at once!!!

Great ideas... I need a followup system in place before I gto anothere step! Got any great sugestions???... Dawn Mallory

I live on a back rocky beach of Alki Point. For years I was called Mother Goose because I cared for the then endangered species of Canada Goose.

My duties included feeding, petting, talking to them and delivering them to and from HOWL Wild Animal rescue shelter. They were allowed to come home to me because they mate for life and the mates would stay "with" me.

It all started with one banded pair and grew to 109 or approximately 3 gaggles. The banded "MOM" would even bring me the babies to feed, bond and talk with when they first came out of the nest. It was an annual ceremony where the gaggles would all move apart to let MOM and the babies from all three gaggles walk to me for hand feeding. (This was in July)

Canada Geese are loyal friends and loved me, my care and friendship. I quit the commraderie when the government began to cut the population by poisoning them with tainted bread, Bread had been a part of their daily treats... btw... too much bread isn't good for them. Poison bread is Unconscionable.

I now watch the geese from afar, even if they come to me, but still support HOWL when ever I can.

With Eyes to their Future... Dawn

PS... they do not like raisin bread! They would actaully spit it out, especially the raisins!

Wonderful event, Terry! Your brisk manner and humor made the sales process seem so much less daunting and the exercise where you gave us each a "YES" couldn't be better.

Thanx for the break through!... Dawn

I have never heard the approach defined as a baseball game, and it is most appropo! I shall be digging into my mind and mouth to make sure I am working on game face getting instead of sales making glaze. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D16Hk-U45v8&fmt=18

So right on, Beth, there are many scientific proofs that when you put contemplation into your physical and mental countenance other people can "read" those very traits to a word! I am delighted that you chose that as your first item of mention!!
