Can't wait to attend - will RSVP very soon!

Dog gone - forgot I have a client meeting from 2-4. Perhaps next time.

Well done. I really like the stages. I have found the same, but have never given them such an adept description.

Once again, John, sage advice. No wonder I keep following you everywhere!

I love the seeding techniques and being up front with the audience. "Here's what I'm going to share with you and then, at the end, I'll tell you a bit about how you can get more information on the subject." Such a simple, straightforward way to proceed. Very nicely done.

I sure wish you could do this one down my way! I'd be there for sure!

Looks like that's going to be a Kaya day for me - Two visits in the same day! Whoo hoo!

Another insightful, timely article, Judy. Another thing that occurred to me while reading this might be:

1) Explain your process/product to a colleague who knows you. Have them suggest questions that you might not think of.

2) Ask a client. If they're in your specific audience, ask them what sorts of challenges they faced that brought them to you.

3) Do a survey/poll on a social networking group you belong to. You may find there's something that will turn up and be golden that you hadn't even noticed you offer!

Always better to have direct input than trying to imagine what others are thinking.

Once again, great job!

Take a peek at my site, www.createdlife.com. It's totally on WordPress and I created it out of 3 other websites I was running once I got better focus on my products.

If this looks like something you might be interested in, I can help you.

Have you tried searching through WordPress to see if there are any already there you can install? Also google for WordPress calendar plugins. You'd be surprised what is out there.

Silly question - but are you on WordPress.org (standalone)? Because WordPress.com doesn't allow plugins of this level.

Thesis is an excellent theme and has a lot of great stuff in it.

Good luck

Excellent point. So many times "those" people are left out of the conversation. I try to accommodate as many different types of clients as possible by having audio players of my blogposts (I'm in the process of adding those to the posts now that I've integrated my blogs) for visually impaired and a typeface that's easily read on the rest of my site. I offer telecourses by IM Chat for those who need it and have found them quite rewarding.

Great job, Chanel!

Andrea - The best expert I know on emotional eating is Dr. Melissa McCreery. She's in the Seattle area, but I don't believe she's a Biznik member.

Her website is www.toomuchonherplate.com

Dang it! Forgot to take pictures again! What a great bunch we had! Powerful group.

We had a wonderful time meeting each other and networking. We also thought we should set up a Biznik group which I did - it's the Westside Business Builders.

So great to meet everyone!

Hope the folks who couldn't attend due to illness are feeling better soon!

Wow! What a group! So nice to have it on the West side, too!

More please?

Yet another glimpse into the people who make the business! Thanks for another great meeting!

Can't wait till the next one.

If you folks don't know Linda - you're in for such a treat!

Just a quick update - I've rebuilt my entire website now on WordPress. I'd love feedback - http://www.createdlife.com.

Upon reflection, I decided to rename my business blog (was Systemic Business) to Solopreneur Insider. The link will change as soon as I can get a new domain, but for now it lives at http://www.deborahbeatty.com/wordpress

Thanks!

Is there a way on Wordpress when you upload an image to increase the padding between it and the paragraphs? I know it's probably in the stylesheet or template, but I only know enough about that stuff to get myself into major trouble. :)

What fun! So wonderful to meet everyone FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

May I be of assistance? Dibspace ROCKS!

Hmph - just looked up the max connection - 142 minutes to get there - Hmm, how much is parking anyway? Anyone know? Or better yet, anyone else coming in from Beaverton/Hillsboro besides Katie Ploeger and myself? Want to carpool?

Oh, heck yeah!!!!!!!!! Now that I'm in Portland, it's only 3 hours away!!!!!!!!

Any other Portlanders wanna carpool?

I know I'm going to Max it in from Beaverton. The novelty hasn't worn off yet riding it. :)

My big audacious goal? Make my business work when I'm starting over from scratch in Portland!

Bizniking in person is one of the first critical steps.
