Life on the Road

As I'm officially on vacation, I'll keep today's eZine short.

For the past two weeks, I've been on the road leading my "Fast Track to More Clients" Workshops. It's a bit like being a rock star, except the gigs are 11 hours long and there are no screaming girls chasing me around!

I love leading workshops, but I certainly have compassion for speakers and workshop leaders who are on the road all the time. It's exciting for awhile, but it sure can wear the body down.

Yesterday I spent about 8 hours sitting in airports due to flight delays. Last week in New York I had to contend with a room that was about 90 degrees when I arrived. (It took two fans and some prayers to get it to cool off.

And in-between workshops (when I'm not flying) I've been managing my business, meeting with my Marketing Coaches and answering email as usual. The eZine still gets written on Monday.

Today my wife and I converged in Denver and drove to Breckenridge Colorado for a much needed break. Some hiking and lots of relaxing are on the schedule.

This road trip actually began in Chicago on May 29 where I attended the System Internet Seminar. I spoke there as well, but also attended some great presentations and made many valuable connections.

I attended a presentation at the System Seminar that will change my business dramatically. I'll be sharing these changes with you soon in a future issue of More Clients.

This road trip has given me the opportunity to do a lot of thinking about where my business will be going in the next ten years and I've had many powerful insights.

My goal is to translate those insights into action over the next few months. I'll keep you posted as I go.

Robert - Breckenridge is beautiful this time of year. In fact, just about anywhere in the Rocky Mountains is beautiful in summer. Hope you enjoyed your down time.

I live in Denver, and I love hiking in Summit County during the summer... and, of course, visiting the resorts during the winter.

travel allows for constant changes of perspective, and as you're suggesting, time for reflection. may I point out, too, that there are many of us who work in music who travel constantly as well, no rock star situations attached. it is always a good challenge to create ways that works to serve the music, and the business of music

Hi, Robert!

As I dive deeper into the business side of my practice, I am noticing beautiful growing pains. (This is in response to your request to share what's stretching us in our business.)What's stretching me is the daily work I need to do to keep my business (relationship coach)fresh, visible and energetic. Constantly putting myself out there to be noticed has always been a challenge for me, but not so much anymore. I am really looking forward to working with my Action Plan Marketing Coach...if my business is gaining the attention it is now, I can only imagine where this will take my practice next. I am thrilled about the possibilities!

Thanks for what you do!

We just celebrated our five-year anniversary, and I don't think we've ever stopped stretching. You could say it's the nature of our business, my own nature as the leader, or even the nature of human beings (Fellow Addicts, you can see experts opine about your brain's addiction to those learning opiods at http://www.cns.nyu.edu/~vessel/pubs/Biederman_Vessel_AmSci06.pdf). But in all honesty I would have to see that the single-greatest contributor to stretching our thinking and actions is our blog. Knowing that people come back to view our blog a few times a week, and that some of them compare what we post to what we act on, is like having the principal at the school constantly looking over your shoulder. You had better be following your own advice...

Aw, see. It would have been so easy for you to add a Denver venue. (Just kidding, of course. Everyone deserves a vacation and I can't fault you for vacationing in our state!)
