Celebrate National Boss's Day With the Best Boss You've Ever Had
Agendas,
PowerPoint, tedious speeches. You know the drill at most conferences.
Dull. Boring. Same old same.
The
Joyfully Jobless Jamboree, will be
nothing
like that
and we guarantee you’ve never experienced anything like it.
When Alice
Barry, Sandy Dempsey and I began thinking about an event, we agreed that
we wanted to capture and celebrate the spirit of self-employment. In
order to do that, we knew that we wanted an event that would not only
surprise and delight participants, but we wanted to send everyone home
with fresh ideas and inspiration for taking their business to the next
level—and beyond.
We invited
people to join our Posse and help us bring this vision to life. Almost
from the first moments, the ideas have been flying and the excitement
growing.
It’s all
happening at the Lakeways Conference Center in Austin TX on October 15
and 16. This lovely property is designed with three things in mind:
inspiration, community and nourishment. In other words, our kind of
place.
Long after
we had picked the dates, Sandy reminded me that last year I didn’t learn
about National Boss’s Day until it was upon us. I had written that there
was no time for a proper celebration then, but perhaps in 2010 we could
participate. That's precisely what we plan to do.
The
Joyfully Jobless Jamboree is the time and place to connect and
collaborate with your tribe, your community; to embrace your chosen
livelihood and celebrate More Time, More Fun, More Money.
For the
first time ever, under one roof, we’re gathering together more than 100
creative entrepreneurs, just like you, who were inspired to venture
forth on their own joyfully jobless journey and to Make a Living Without
a Job.
We’ve got
terrific speakers, panels and workshops lined up, as well as interactive
exercises and idea-generating activities.
Not only
will you get some new ideas, but you could form a new collaboration or
two, connect with kindred spirits you didn’t even know you wanted to
meet, and go home feeling nourished and inspired.
And should
you arrive with questions, we’re sure you’ll go home with answers.
Join us at
the Joyfully Jobless Jamboree and add these power tools to your
portfolio:
Get inspired
Get
informed
Meet
joyfully jobless trailblazers
Create
abundance
Power of
practice
Connect
with your tribe
If More
Time, More Fun and More Money are things you’re building into your
business, we’ll help
you have more of all three.
Whether
you’re just getting started or have been around long enough so the
honeymoon is over, join us and make the next part of your journey the
exciting adventure it can become.
Call up
your Joyfully Jobless friends and make plans right now to participate
together. Or come by yourself and make some new friends who delight in
self-employment and insist on taking good care of their boss.
It will be two full days of learning, connecting, collaborating and celebrating.
(And we haven’t even mentioned the fabulous food.)
If you
haven’t done so, pay a visit to
http://jjjamboree.com and see what’s in
store. Check out the adventures of Flat Barbara, who is traveling with
the Posse and learning what it means to be Joyfully Jobless.
 Then book
yourself in for the most unique celebration of National Boss’s Day in
the country. Your boss will thank you for doing so.

I have
attended various seminars before on wealth, personal development, making
a fortune in real estate — this, that and the other thing. None
can compare to the three hours I spent with you.

Establish
Yourself as an Expert
What is the
difference between a book that becomes a bestseller and one that doesn't?
Why is Julia Child a household name and your Aunt Ruth, a fabulous gourmet,
known only to her household? Why is someone else becoming rich and famous
doing what you can do even better? As the Information Age continues to
explode, the opportunities for those with a desire to share what they
know continue to expand, too. Just being knowledgeable about a subject
isn't enough to earn you expert status. You have to know how to connect
with the people who want what you have to offer. This seminar will show
you how to do just that.
You'll learn:
-
Inexpensive
and free ways to establish yourself as an expert in the field of your
choice
-
Shortcuts
to finding the people who want what you have to offer
-
The easiest
way to begin packaging your information
-
How to
expand your base of influence
-
How to
find and attract interest from the media
-
How to
keep building your reputation as the authority worth listening to
In short,
you'll learn what every expert knows. In addition, you'll be given an
overview of the potential ways in which an expert can earn money. If you
have a story to tell and expertise to share, or want to enhance your business,
this course will show you attention-getting ways to let others know you're
around.
I left
your seminar so excited and filled with ideas that I drove 30 miles
before realizing I was going in the wrong direction. I have always had
a passion for the past; now I have a passion for the future.

Numerous opportunities are available to those wishing to set up shop in
the global village.
If you're
ready to become an entrepreneurial gypsy, this seminar will introduce
you to some of those opportunities and show you how to generate ideas of
your own.
You'll learn:
-
How to
make travel a regular activity in your life
-
Ways to
earn money as you go
-
How to
create a portable business
-
Off the
beaten path sources of support
-
How to
use a hobby or avocation to fund and enhance travel
-
Ways to
get paid to travel (other than working for the airlines)
If you're
ready to travel farther and stay longer, this seminar will show you what
others are doing and how you can, too. Get out your suitcases, grab your
passport and camera-but, first, take this class!

You
helped me to open up to a whole new way of thinking about work —
about life, really. I now have my own little business. The greatest
joy for me is that this enterprise has bubbled up out of my life naturally
and easily, coming from my heart and soul.

Cheap Tricks:
Marketing On A Shoestring
Very few people start a
business because they love marketing. And yet, without marketing it's
unlikely that a business will succeed. Whether you're a webmaster or
window washer, an artist or an accountant, you know that success is
dependent upon securing business and that attracting and retaining
clients and customers is fundamental to your future. That's what this
seminar is all about.
You'll learn:
-
How to master
marketing fears and make marketing fun
-
The essentials of
making your business stand out
-
How to find clients
in off the beaten track ways
-
How to generate
word of mouth endorsements
-
Free and
inexpensive sources of promotion
-
Skills that will
generate a growing customer base
Whether you own a
business that's ready for a makeover or you have just printed your first
business cards, this seminar will offer dozens of ideas that will help
your business stand out amidst the competition. Even if your marketing
budget is small (or non-existent) you'll come away with tried and tested
practical ideas that will transform your approach to marketing and boost
your confidence. It might even help you learn to love marketing!
One of the reasons that
mature people stop learning is that
they become less willing to risk failure.
