Almost everyone has favorite charity.
It can be a service group such as Rotary or Kiwanis. It can be a national organization such as the American Cancer Society or even a local church.
So far, I’ve raised over $150,000 for Rotary clubs, Chambers of Commerce, and other charities by speaking at seminar fundraisers.
The concept is remarkably simple and you don’t have to sell a single raffle ticket (yawn).
In a nutshell, I will waive my speaking fee in lieu of a small stipend/travel expenses of about $500.
You must agree to put a minimum of 200 people in the room and allow me to soft-sell information products related to the program topic.
When those people pay about $30 a piece for my half-day program on leadership, your efforts will gross $6,000. Tack on a half-dozen corporate sponsors and the total dollars raised looks closer to $10,000!
The proven formula
I created a how-to manual that explains the nuts and bolts of this arrangement and how this success formula can work for you.
There is a 100-day promotion schedule, during which time, you and your team will receive encouragement, solutions to various marketing conundrums, and top-notch marketing tips, including Internet marketing strategies for using social media, etc.
This is a limited offer, since I only do about six of these pro-bono events per year.
What you should do next
If you’re interested in this unique fundraising opportunity, here’s what you should do next:
1) Read the short, how-to article on how to host a seminar fundraiser.
2) Meet with your team to explain the offer and determine their level of interest
3) Contact me to say “hi” and to inquire about specific event dates
4) Make plans to have you and your fundraising team members attend my free call on Mondays at 4 PM ET. Just have them call into my teleconference bridge line at 218-339-3600 using access code 686134*
Remember that when you sell raffle tickets, only a few people get to “win.” When you hold a seminar fundraiser, everyone wins. I hope we get the opportunity to work together!

January 1st has come around again.
Again this is quite doable when you understand my current regime, which is to workout four days a week for about 15 minutes. I’ve been very fortunate to maintain the same body weight (165 lbs.) for my entire adult life, so exercise has never been about keeping the weight off. But, at this stage in my life, I know it’s important to keep my heart rate high for extended periods of time.
I’ve doubled my year-to-year income twice in my life, but this time will be a bit more challenging because I made some pretty good coin in 2011. Here are some ideas I have for doubling my revenue in 2012. You can double your income, to; I’ll teach you how on

The last three weeks in December can be deadly for many businesses because so many people shift their attention to the holidays. Don’t they know you have a monthly nut!? lol
Remind yourself that the purpose of the holidays is to take a step back and appreciate what you have. Use this valuable time to enjoy your family and friends, give back to others, and be good to yourself. So take a walk in the snow, play an extra game or two with your kids, and plan a fun night out with your significant other.
Today, it’s much easier because you can just re-purpose what people send you via social media. Yet, many people are reluctant to recycle the compliments they receive.

Of course, this type of dream dinner will only be make believe, at least this time around. But winner of this contest will win a cool prize and get some attention from me when I announce the results December 12 here and on my Facebook page. Meanwhile, let’s have some fun considering the guest lists that are submitted.
