oh wow, cool! thanks Lara.

I missed this happening due to Burning Man... will there be other opportunities in the future to get a cool badge, I hope?

Wow, I'm so glad I could be a part of that truly-inspiring event... even though I had to leave to go to another meeting before I could make it to the front of the line... (argh, bummed about that... maybe I'll make my own video! :)

Thanks and love to you Dan and Lara, and Blessings to you all!

wow, what a guest list, i'm excited to see so many of you tonight! enjoy the sun!

thank you! this is a beautifully inspiring, well-written and smart message to take in right now. perfect timing. blessings!

Just returned from traveling and I was hoping to get back in the Biznik mix... alas, I'm wrangling jetlag and am going to have to cancel. Soon, though...

This was a great article! Thank you!

maybe this has already been mentioned... but i just did a search for a member with a particular specialty, and was able to view the first page of search results but then... clicking to see subsequent pages of the search results just put me back to the whole pool of members.

I've experimented with both approaches. Right now I'm posting my fees, and this is working out well. I definitely get fewer inquiries, but more of the inquiries I do get turn into clients. Basically, I'm wasting less time communicating with people who aren't willing to pay my fees. Plus I used to have to experience discomfort when having money discussions with potential clients -- now I let my website do that. Anyone who contacts me after having read it is approaching me with a good understanding of my terms. That feels much easier and better and lighter.

Hi Sara,

Hmm... i just thought of: Wonder Works Creative. wonderworkscreative.com is available! it's a somewhat long domain, but i do think it rolls off the tongue pretty well and is aptly descriptive and doesn't make me think of push-up bras... ;)

I went to one a couple months back at the zoo. It was great and I found it to be a really great community and networking opportunity. I definitely plan to attend more in the future...

Ooh, yes please! Sounds like fun, getting to look at and touch all those fabulous clothes.

I'm available Thursday night. Also monday evening until about 8. I'm in seattle... can I be of assistance?

Gwen

I cannot wait to see what our fearless leaders have been creating for Biznik 2.0...

I'm tentatively interested -- this looks like an excellent and empowering book.

Well, it's pretty obvious, but I feel that one of the best things to do right away is to make a beautiful business card that you love. For me, having a beloved little piece of paper that said who I was and what I did was really empowering. It's like the object form helps create the thought form helps birth the entity into being really real... and of course, it makes all that networking productive because it keeps working (the card is still out there) even when you're not.

It's awesome, Dan. It is probably the best-formatted, slickest, most user-friendly newsletter that has come through my mailbox. I love the text down the middle with the pics on the side. Interesting content. Nice concise copy. Well done!

Second that... I wrote you one, but where is it? Did you receive the email to accept it or did that go missing too?

I would LOVE for you to offer that class! I've got that book and have started it, but would love a guide in using it... please please!

Thanks...

Gwen

That was an excellent class. A ton of info, well presented, easy to digest.

It inspired me -- I just got done doing a minor rewrite of my website copy (I know, I know... I should hire Chris...). Trying to focus more on benefits, using "I" and being more conversational, narrowing my focus, and asking for action.

Thanks, Chris and Dominic!
