I’ve been on the road ever since the event – boy, so much is moving since as a result of all the wisdom of those 2 days.

Oh, and thanks for the above. You forgot the BIGGEST piece that is transforming my business.

The Question that’s forgotten is this: What’s closest to the Money? If you hadn’t have said that I’d have left the Boss Whisperer till later this year [or next...you get the gist].

Being new to the concept of building an online business with my real estate business, the conference helped me to see how it can all "gel" together and grow. Having been in the real estate business for many years and taking a lot of my knowledge for granted, I realize I have a wealth of valuable information and experiences to share with others. Needless to say, my mind is full of very creative ideas. Also, as a result of the conference I will be a part of a virtual mastermind group with three other people who I met at the conference. I am very excited to be a part of this very talented group. Again, Many Thanks! Phyllis Turpen Real Estate Broker Nashville, TN Hello,

A great big thank you for the conference! Being new to the concept of building an online business with my real estate business, the conference helped me to see how it can all “gel” together and grow. Having been in the real estate business for many years and taking a lot of my
knowledge for granted, I realize I have a wealth of valuable information and experiences to share with others. Needless to say, my mind is full of very creative ideas. Also, as a result of the conference I will be a
part of a virtual mastermind group with three other people who I met at the conference. I am very excited to be a part of this very talented group.

Again, Many Thanks!

Just give me the facts and let me get to it. So I was thrilled with the depth of action steps you, Milana, and Michael gave us at the POC. What I didn't expect was to have so many shifts in my thinking as well - and to have a viseral reaction to "if the inner work isn't done..." I've watched exactly that unfold for me in the last nine months - and what a huge difference it's made in my business growth. So, which one of the lessons above hits closest to home for me? Definitely the "less is more" when approaching potential collaborative partners. That completely takes the pressure off coming up with some detailed and perfect proposal, which was keeping me stuck. Now, I've got an initial list of 20 potential partners to approach with a "light" email and I can't wait to see the response. In college, I hated theory classes.
