Our “Marketing Magic!” seminar held last Friday, July 18th, was AMAZING! We had a really great group of participants, lots of learning, networking and best of all, everyone got super clear on their own unique marketing styles. We had Fierce Marketers, Butterfly Marketers, Mad Scientist Marketers, and “BFF” marketers there. There was lots of high energy and fun had by all.

Here are some pictures of this wonderful day!

As you may have gathered, one of my passions that gives me tremendous joy is traveling. I love to explore what’s new to me — change my routine, and learn and see new things. I find it enriches my life. Anything that enriches me serves to enrich my business because my passion, enthusiasm, and new discoveries translate into benefits for my clientele.

I experienced something very cool while staying at the Hotel Murano in Tacoma, Washington. The hotel was beautiful and distinctive with a very modern theme featuring Glass Art, including Dale Chilhuy. Lovely place. Each floor featured an artist and their glass works of art. If you are in Tacoma, stay there!

Beyond that, what I loved when we stepped into our beautifully appointed room was familiarizing myself with the amenities. I noticed two postings by the phone. One was entitled Spiritual Menu. This menu included various spiritual resources including the Bhagavad Vita, the Torah, and the Bible among other choices. The simple menu and instructions told us that we could request the book of our choice and have it delivered to our room. In addition to the Spiritual Menu, there was a Pillow Menu and a Room Service Menu. (The room also sported an iPod docking station, which was promptly confiscated by our daughter.)

As you may have gathered, I LOVE to travel. It is one of my passions — one that began very early for me, as my mother comes from Wurzburg, Germany.

As a young girl, I was fortunate to travel back and forth to Germany several times. These early experiences of transcontinental travel led to many more trips over the years.

Traveling to a new location gives me tremendous enjoyment because I love to discover new sights and sounds and, yes, the food too!

By changing my routine, learning and seeing new things, I feel like a different person each time I come home from a trip. I find that it enriches my life. What I know to be true for all of us is that anything that enriches you, gets you feeling enthusiastic, joyful, and energetic will serve you well in your business life. Your passion is your lifeblood.

Today, while driving to a meeting with a colleague, I stopped for a red light. Glancing over to my right, what should I see but a large person/cow (actually, a person wearing a cow costume) enthusiastically waving at me.
 
 I waved back.
 
 It made me laugh out loud!
 
The “cow/person” was advertising for Chik Fillet. His signs read: Have You Ever Tried Chikn for Breakfast? Now Serving Breakfast! Eat More Chikn!
 
Well, truth be told, no.
 
I have never eaten chicken (or chikn) or even considered visiting Chik Filet for breakfast! Have you?

What I love about this silly but true little incident is that Chik Filet had a really great idea – one that I think we, as business owners, could benefit from.

One of my all-time favorite books is Napoleon Hill’s Think & Grow Rich.  It is absolutely a classic and a must read.  Hill wrote the book in 1922 during hard economic times.  One important point he made was that regardless of the state of the economy, in fact because of a poor economy, many people thrive and prosper because they “see” things differently.
