I couldn't agree with you more, Christopher. Nicely done!

A quick note about the pricing. I think you'll have better luck with it if you frame it as $X for Y Benefit. For the troubled couple it doesn't matter so much that you're giving them three hours of your valuable time. It matters that they'll get for the money.

Whoa. this is tough without the whole in-person thing but I'll give it a shot. First of all, I'd like to address the "show" to which you're hoping to draw an audience. I think you might want to change it. Ultimately you're targeting a stage in relationships -- it's one where the couple is feeling that the relationship might not make it. That can be interpreted in two ways: divorce prevention or relationship strengthening.

Now if your show is about divorce prevention you surely will run into what Barry is talking about -- rampant dishonesty. Ultimately you'll end up making it something that will only be talked about in hushed conversations.

But, if you make it about relationship strengthening -- strength in even the most trying times -- it becomes something that anyone and everyone can talk about. And consider those who are truly on the brink of divorce. They could be open about going to you and open about recommending you. Or, those who know them could be open about passing on your information.

With that show you could certainly do seminars/workshops/whatever for church groups as Barry suggested. Or if you wanted to get more specialized you could develop a seminar for, say, women executives, and do a presentation for, perhaps, the WBO on balancing work and family.

Anyways, that's my two-cents.

Wooohooo! I joined. I joined!

Ok, this is making me feel real dumb because I can't figure out where to click on the Facebook page to join the group.

Anyone who's not down at my dumbness level please help.

Great idea. I love pool! I used to be somewhat of a shark in my youth, but alas, I am now old and rusty. I wish I could go. I hope you hold it again.

Hi Suzanne, I'd say you definitely need to have your blog on your own site. I'd even go so far as to say that your blog should be on your homepage. That's because most people won't click on your Blog link, but a well done blog is magnitudes more effective than page after page of the self-congratulatory text you find on most small business sites.

The even bigger question here, though, is what do you write about. To do that, I highly recommend picking a specialization -- something you can become a true expert on. Then use the blog to give your expert insights. Then, promote the blog to those who need that expertise.

I just tried to post an event but got an error when I hit "Create Event" button. Lost all my content too.

On the "Create an Event" page, the "Choose a Date" function isn't working for me.
I'm on a Mac using Firefox, if that helps. Thanks!

Nancy, I love the idea! I hope I can make it.
