We made a hard decision yesterday. We decided to cancel our Momentum conference. Why? Honestly, there wasn’t enough interest to justify a full blown 2-day event. So we’re going to host a 1/2 day round table gathering for those that are interested. It will be held on March 2nd from 9AM-12PM here in Miami Lakes. There is going to be limited seating, so if you want to attend, email me. I actually feel pretty good about it.

I noticed that I’m approaching 1700 comments on my parking spot in the digital universe, so I thought I’d do something fun: I’m going to give away a copy of my book to whoever commenter #1,700 is. But we’re taking it a step further (a la itunes) and I’m going to give away a copy of my book to commenter 1,750; 1,800; 1,850; 1,900; and 1,950. What will commenter #2,000 win? A free ticket our Momentum Conference on March 1-2. Let the typing begin!

The question is, how do we do this well and transform the environment to something that meets the needs of those in the community? That’s what the conference is … Read More
