Several weeks ago, I traveled to Philadelphia
for a Joyfully Jobless Weekend hosted by Gillian
Lancaster. She and her daughter Caroline also
invited me to be their houseguest while I was
there.
After the seminars were finished on Saturday, I
was ready for an early bedtime so headed
upstairs to the guest room. I could faintly hear
voices coming from the living room. When I awoke
some time later, the conversation between mother
and daughter was still going on.
In the morning, Gillian excitedly told me that
she and Caroline had spent the evening
brainstorming ideas for a new business that
takes advantage of their English heritage.
Although they're just getting started, you can
see what they're up to at
Cracking Good Crafts.
It's no surprise to me that this idea was born
after spending the weekend gathering ideas and
inspiration surrounded by others who are excited
about self-employment.
Putting yourself in a room with other explorers
can be quite magical.
Although my schedule for the year is winding
down, there are still several opportunities to
participate and see what ideas you can uncover
for yourself.
Here's where I'll be hanging out in the next
several weeks:
Colorado Free University in
Denver was one of the first places I began
teaching. I love the entrepreneurial spirit in
Colorado and the lively groups that show up at
CFU (and the lively folks that run CFU). I'll be
back on October 25 & 26 for three programs
including I Hate Marketing.
Get the scoop here.
After I dash home from Denver, I'll be dashing
back to my former hometown of Las Vegas
for another visit to UNLV for three
more programs on November 1 & 2. I Hate
Marketing is on the agenda there, too.

Those two trips are warm-ups for the final
Joyfully Jobless Weekend which is
happening in Boise, ID. This is
the final Weekend for 2013 and includes my most
popular programs: Making a Living Without a
Job, Establish Yourself as an Expert
and How to Support Your Wanderlust. You
can sign up for all 3 (if you hurry) and get a
discount on the idea-filled event.

From Boise, I zip to Phoenix
for the first ever Fund Your Life
Overseas Conference where I'll be doing
three presentations and listening eagerly to all
the other great speakers they've assembled. If
you've dreamed of living abroad or creating a
portable business to fund your travels, this is
the place to gather your power tools.
November 10-12
Would love to have you join me at one-or
several-of these learning adventures.
