Just uploaded the photos from my trip to Chicago last weekend. Was it only a week ago? I can’t believe how quickly time flies at seminars…everything is so intense and compressed and then, whoosh! It’s over. I’ll bet on Monday there were a lot of people like, “Where do I start?”
Thankfully I mapped out my strategy on Sunday night while talking to Ann Covenry — visit her at http://www.annconvery.com and she’ll help you get unstuck and learn to speak your business in 30 seconds or less. I wasn’t so much stuck as trying to figure out how to marry the 2 areas that I’m interested in: local internet marketing and lead generation. I’ve put a lot of time and energy into creating GeoLocal.com and don’t want to throw all of that away. But it’s become painfully obvious that “local business” is too big of a target market, which is why I’ve floundered in my quest to get my arms around it.
But somewhere along the way, I stumbled into lead generation, quite by accident in fact. Found that I had a knack for it, and within the last year or so, it has developed into my family’s main source of income. Go figure.
With my background in “everything local” it was only a matter of time until I turned my lead generation skills to the local market. Competing in a local market is so much easier than at a national level — clicks are cheaper and the SEO part is a piece of cake because so few people are doing it.
Anyway, more about that when the new course comes out — Terry Dean and I collaborated on a 6-CD audio set and it rocks (or so I’ve been told by beta testers/reviewers). One of these days (soon) we’ll finish up the graphics and all the stuff that goes into selling something. It takes longer to create all the “stuff” than to create the product. No wonder so many good products languish on shelves and in basements! Hey did I ever mention that Advanced Testimonial Strategies is going to launch any day? 
In the meantime, enjoy the photos from The System — I know Dave Bullock is going to make me remove some of the palm reading pics, so hurry up and take a look.
