Guerrilla Business School Graduation Ceremony:)


The Saga Continues...I was locked up in the Hilton at Universal Studios last week with around 450 other determined businesspeople for Peak Potentials' Guerrilla Business School.  I learned so much and will need every bit of knowledge I soaked up.  I love Peak's events because they are filled with good friends who are dedicated to helping each other make a difference in the world.

When we were done my friend, Maayan Avidov and I hit the Universal Studios outdoor mall just across the street from the Hilton to celebrate the end of our seminar.  I liked this location because we were able to get outside a little bit.  Convention centers are not my natural habitat!

In the meantime I thought I'd show you a bit of both the fun side and the working end of what I'm up to.    I've been writing for months.  When I need some outside stimulation I go to places like Starbucks and Pete's Breakfast House.  I love Pete's because it's such a funky little place and they are very supportive there.  I'm grateful for the talented people supporting my new endeavor.  I have literally hundreds of people supporting me as I create this new entity.  


Yesterday I had a phone call with my coach.  Of course it doesn't work to have a phone call like that in the middle of a restaurant...so I went to my car. This made me laugh but it also kept me on topic.  I used the time-honored system of sticky notes to keep track of my conversation points!  I like yellow (it stimulates creative thought) and being able to toss aside each point after I'm done is satisfying.
I wish I could just write, paint or speak all the time but the reality of life and a working business is that sales is a big part of it. Being self employed I find working with a coach and the other people I've
met through Peak Potentials has helped me move forward in ways I'd never have done alone.  This hard-headed woman is learning to ask for help!!!

I thought I'd finish with a video of me on one of my mini-Adventures.  These are so tame by many people's standards but so good for me!!!  I lived in Fort Worth for three years when I was 23-26 and never got the guts to ride the bull at Billy Bob's.  So I decided to bite the bullet and ride one now!  The guys running the bull were kind to me. I needed to warm up before I did this.  It's great for the core~  Silly but fun and only $4!!!!   I'm off to hit it again.  Have a good one!
