2010 Workshops update

I know, I know, I said I wouldn’t post any more workshops updates to the blog. But this one is important.

I have been getting a lot of emails lately from people saying things like “I look forward to coming to one of your workshops in 2010 in NYC/Dallas/Miami/fill in the blank city.”

I have made the final decision: I will *not* be holding travel workshops after 2009.

So, the final travel workshops I will teach, and your last opportunity to go to one near your home (assuming you don’t live in Portland, OR), are: Boston and Chicago in August 2009, and Atlanta and Austin in October 2009. (see the dates here).

Beyond that, starting in 2010 all Cowbelly workshops will be held in the lovely city of Seattle.

Although this is bound to change, given that I am a changeable creature, I anticipate holding only 2 workshops per year, one in the spring and one in the fall, and having a 20 person maximum registration per workshop.

The Boston registration deadline is tomorrow, and I have only 2 spaces left for the 2-day (the 3-day is full), and the Chicago registration ends next Friday 7/14. I have a few spaces left for Chicago, but you Chicago people are last-minuters so those spaces are filling super fast as I am having a new person register every day.

There are still plenty of spaces left for Atlanta, and Austin is now filling up quickly.

If you are interested in any of those cities give us a shout. And also, this is important, if you are interested in attending a 2010 workshop in Seattle next year please please email us so we can get a list going. I had over 150 people interested in workshops this year and with only 40 spaces next year I may end up carrying a waiting list. I know that by then the economy will have improved and more people will be ready to hit it with their businesses, and I want to make sure I can serve those who are already planning ahead, so please email us to let us know.

Ok that’s it! Hope y’all are having a lovely week. Sunshine in Seattle, yay. :-)

Cowbelly Traveling Roadshow Workshops updates

I just wanted to let everyone know that from here on out I will NOT be making any more workshops updates or announcements on this blog- ONLY on the ‘updates’ page of my workshops website here:

http://www.cowbellyworkshops.com/updates.html

If you are thinking of registering or have already registered, please keep tabs on that updates page on the website- that is the only place you will get new information on scheduled workshops from here on out! (and don’t say I didn’t warn you, lol).

Ok, thanks, now back to our regularly scheduled programming! Oh, and how bout a nice picture of some flowers I took last weekend? :-)

Workshops updates

The September workshop has 3 spaces left open. I expect it to be full within a week, or sooner if any of the ‘on the radar’ folks end up registering.

I will have a waiting list for Workshop I once it fills, and *may* do another 3-day intensive in October depending on the demand. I have a couple of people who can’t make the September date so we’ll see. Unfortunately it kind of depends on the weather, which has been so hard to predict this year! I may just decide to go for it and shoot in the rain if it’s crummy out. I have actually gotten some of my best shots in horrible weather, so it might not be a dealbreaker.

I have formally decided to have the October workshop II be an intermediate/advanced workshop. It will be for 2 days, and won’t contain most of the business information covered in the 3-day workshop. On day two however we will go into more advanced business details such as selling stock and getting into commercial and editorial and discuss issues that are more relevant to established businesses. Although it won’t have the breadth and scope of the business information in the 3-day, we will also talk a bit about marketing and branding, which I feel are oh so important. The dates of Workshop II will be Saturday October 4th and Sunday October 5th.

See the dates page of the workshop website for more details on the advanced workshop: http://www.cowbellyworkshops.com/dates.html

I have also added to the FAQ page so be sure to check that out too.

That’s it for now! I have sent several handfuls of emails on workshops today, so may have more updates very soon!
