Good stuff: 3 day free seminar plus LA and Atlanta

Fembalogo On November 1, 2 and 3, I’ll be hosting 12 of you in my office for a free three-day seminar. It’s by application only and it’s only for women entrepreneurs. If you think you can benefit from and contribute to this intense roundtable experience, I hope you’ll apply. Or tell someone who might benefit. And surprisingly, please follow the guidelines as closely as you can, because it’s the only way we can consider your application.

ALSO: I’ll be taking the road trip to Los Angeles on November 9th. It’s my only public gig in LA for a while, and it’s being done in conjunction with the Peter Drucker Business Forum. There are a very limited number of tickets for the entire 8-hour session (use the code sethsblog to save some money on the full day ticket), or if you only have an hour or two in the morning, you can buy a ticket just for breakfast ($20) and the on-stage interview I’m doing with journalist and author Lisa Napoli.

Before that, on Friday, October 8, I’ll be in Atlanta. (We’ll try to top Chicago, which was probably the best yet… here’s a video with feedback from some attendees).

The road trip continues (announcing Atlanta)

Over the summer, I’ve done full day road trip gigs in Boston and DC. Each was different, both were amazing. (Here are some comments from DC and Boston attendees).

Coming up: I’ll be in Minneapolis next Thursday, the 26th. There’s a free meetup planned a few days before for those who are going.

Chicago is completely sold out (full day) but there are a few half-day tickets left.

And today we’re announcing Atlanta on Friday, October 8th. Full day tickets for Atlanta are discounted $300 if for readers of this blog… just enter the discount code Sethsblog. (Half day attendees save $125, your code is Ireadsethsblog). If you’re in Atlanta, I hope you can come or perhaps spread the word.

Hope to see you there.
