How does inspiration happen?  Where do we get that great idea to act on?  Do we get it by sitting alone in a dark room, isolated?  I do not think so, at least that is not how it works for me.  I find inspiration by talking and listening, reading, watching, and keeping myself open to new and fresh ideas.  No matter how farfetched, I believe there is some kind of lesson, or a gift of some sort, in human interaction. Maybe I read it on your blog, or heard it on your talk show. Perhaps I saw it on the news or read it in a book. Maybe something hit me when I listened to a song on the radio or perhaps it was something my child said.  Could be a tweet that caught my attention.  Might even be that we met at a seminar.  Imagine that!

If I thought I couldn’t have a better time at UnSeminar 7 than I did at UnSeminar 6, I was wrong. 

If I thought there was no way to top my mountaintop high from May of 2009, I was wrong.

Many of the same people with the same beautiful glow were still there, and some were missed.  There were new faces and new friends to meet and get to know too.

The ideas flowed…no gushed! So much that I am still, nearly a month later, taking it all in.  I really fell in love this time. Not with one person, or even a group of people.  It’s more like I fell in love with this life….this way of life.   Thinking and feeling and acting and loving and doing it all over again every day.  There is no church or movement or club that can do this.  It is all about being the best us we can, and then sharing that to help others be the best them they can.

I love it and I see myself in this groove for many many moons to come.

Thanks so much Y’all for getting me there and making it happen one more time!

Much love,

KK

Sometimes, good energy manifests itself in such unpredictable ways!  I put out an intention, a simple statement, that if I am going to be fully sponsored for Unseminar 7, I need some help getting the word out.  I put out the intention and I let go of it. I simply could not worry about it any more.  There are too many things to worry about. I am learning, slowly, to acknowledge the feeling, do some clearing on it, relax into the emotion, put out an intention, and let it go.

What is so odd is that I have no control over the “how”.  I know it will come, but never how.  A most unlikely source came to fruition today in the form of adding my support to the Good Energy Movement.  I have been on board with these guys for a while but only in the past week or so have I really been putting some of my energy in it.  This is really since I let go of the stress about getting enough sponsors.  Funny, huh?  The very thing I moved toward, is now becoming an “energy boost” to me. I put in a little effort, and got back a huge gift!

More on the Good Energy Movement Here:  http://www.squidoo.com/goodenergyday

Dr. Ben Mack, who is the brains behind the whole “Good Energy” movement, contacted me today  about doing an interview this week about my experience as the Ironed Out Diva, as a means of an example of Good Energy!  This is an incredible opportunity to share my story, my energy, and to let a large potential audience know about my project, all while supporting something I believe in very strongly.

Please tune in on Thursday at 9pm Eastern to hear the interview!

Nathan sponsored me for UnSeminar 6 for a different site and is back again for Unseminar 7, taking all my sleeves, for his newly launched site http://DragNDropWebsites.com .

With Drag N Drop Websites, Nathan has made it possible for anyone to create numerous incredibly professional looking websites.  The process is super easy, very fast, and costs a tiny fraction of what you might pay a professional.

What’s super cool about Nathan is he is an expert in Search Engine Optimization.  He is integrating his skills and knowledge into these websites for you so you do not have to worry about it at all!  The sites will be filled with the perfect keyword-rich content that he provides from his multitude of well researched and developed sources, which will rotate though your sites, keeping them fresh and full of the perfect information for your target readers.  If you use affiliate links, his system makes it super simple to pull them in to your content, seamlessly working for you to increase your bottom line!

What about linking?  Nathan has all that figured out.  The SEO linking structure is already built in and ready to bring your new sites to the top of the search rankings.  You can even add in Google AdSense for more income streams!  Your sites on Drag N Drop Websites will pull in way more income than your out of pocket cost.  Drag N Drop Websites is fun to setup, simple to use, and a super cool way to rake in extra cash.

Thanks Nathan for taking my sleeves for UnSeminar 7!  I cannot wait to hear your presentation on all that Drag N Drop Websites can do for me!

Hi Gang!

In meeting with my mastermind group last night, I came to the realization that I am perhaps being “exclusive” in my sponsorship spots by only selling large spots for a price that some cannot afford. 

After I thought about it a bit, I remembered something Joe Vitale mentioned when he asked me about the shirt I was wearing when we met at Unseminar 6. He told me I still had a lot of blank space on my shirt…(that’s because I am a big girl and wear XXXL shirts!)

So, I decided to open up some additional spots on my shirts, for a much lower price.  I can squeeze a set of 4 square panels  on each side, each day, plus a side panel (which I’m calling “Hippie” spots), two for each day. 

I will sell the “Squares” (which are actually 4 x 5 rectangles) for $30 bucks each and the “Hippies” (an 8 x 5 long side panel) for 50 bucks.  The “hippies” will go sideways up the shirt starting at the bottom of each hip. 

This should get me “full coverage” (lol)  And give some folks who cannot afford the bigger spots a change to  get your ad in. 

http://ironedoutdiva.com/sponsors

Here is what I will do for you if you take a “Square” or “Hippie” spot: 

• I will still give you a place on the sidebar of the sales page, but it will be your link only and will be shared with others who purchase squares. 
• I will dedicate a blitz day for all “squares” (that should be fun!) and will tweet each of you that day.  Same for “Hippies” – (there will be fewer of you, so you will get more attention).  
• For the “hippies” I will add a small avatar image to the sidebar if you provide me with one. 
• How many tweets I get out with your link depends on whether or not all squares sell. If they do all sell, I expect to get in at least a couple of tweets per square and probably half a dozen or so per hippie. 
• I will tweet your link when you purchase the spot as well. 
• I will likely do a whole lot more, but that much I will promise!

Here is something else I found that some of you might like.  It is a Joint Venture network that works a lot like FaceBook, with a few big differences:

•   You can earn points by doing regular social network stuff (like commenting on blogs, adding friends, etc) which you can then “spend” on advertising on the site
•   Everyone on the site is interested in internet marketing.
•   There are no mind-numbing, insanely addictive games to play

If that sounds good, join me there!  There are three levels, but I am just using the no cost version.

I have a great new offer!  In addition to other stuff, I am also a Squidoo Lensmaster.  I love to create lenses and am always looking for new subject matter. Here is one I just did for Good Energy Day – check it out!

http://squidoo.com/goodenergyday

I thought why not offer to do up a lens for each of my sponsors?  That would be really cool!  Thing is, I have to shift my focus to the product I am working on very soon, in order to have it ready before Unseminar 7. 

I am leaving the two weeks before UnSeminar 7 (October 1 through 15) open to do the Blitz marketing for all of my sponsors, so September is all I have left to dedicate to getting my product ready. 

I can only get in the time to do a lens for you if you sponsor me before the end of August.  That’s this coming Monday. I will have all the lenses done by the end of the first week in September. 

Sooo, if you’ve been on the fence about grabbing a spot, this would be a great time to do it!

Another offer still open is a prize offered by Maggie Miller from her “Road to Unseminar 7″ radio series.  I was interviewed by her on Monday. Listen to the replay and check out what she’s offering to my next sponsor:  http://roadtosuccessradio.com

In addition, don’t forget you also get your Twitter blitz day, a blurb in this blog, and a banner on the sponsor site – in addition to me wearing your link for a day at Unseminar 7!

One more thing – Today Dr. Joe Vitale, my latest sponsor, released his new book “Attract Money Now”!  The digital version is free to all!  Please check it out at http://attractmoneynow.com

Peace all!

Hi Gang!

Most of you know Pat O’Bryan, right?  Well tonight my friend Maggie Miller is interviewing Pat for the first in a series of interviews she’s calling “The Road to UnSeminar 7”!

http://roadtosuccessradio.com

I am really excited about it because I’m up next! That’s right! My first ever interview and I go after Pat O’Bryan!  Go figure ~  lol.  Not only that, but Wendy Friesen is up next after me (Wendi.TV).  Oh the pressure!  I’m not worried though, because the subject matter is something I can talk about all day long any time!

If you have been thinking about going to UnSeminar 7, this would be a great interview series to catch, especially tonight with Pat, the man himself! Maggie plans on discussing how the magic all started and what’s in store for UnSeminar 7 in San Antonio.

Oh yeah, and just in case for some reason you are not on Pat’s email list, he sent out a funny about me today. He was letting folks know about me getting sponsors for UnSeminar 7, and described me like this: “she parades around the seminar and hotel like a walking billboard.”

Such a crackup! I do not “parade around”….. well maybe I do kinda… lol

If you want a spot on my shirt at Unseminar 7, you may want to grab it now while you can…I have a feeling they are going to go fast! 

http://ironedoutdiva.com/sponsors

One more quick bit of news and request – if you have been to San Antonio and eaten in any of the downtown restaurants, please let me know  about your experience!  I have noticed a problem that needs a solution, so I’m fixin’ it!  I am putting together a meal guide just for Unseminar attendees – catered just for us with the best spots within walkin’ distance, what’s open late, who will take a large crowd on short notice and serve you well, etc.  Any thoughts or experiences you would like to share, good or bad, about a San Antonio eating establishment would be a huge help!

Thanks Y’all!

Talk to you soon!

Till then, all my best to you~
