<div class="bbWrapper">Ok, bear in mind I just came up with this in the shower but just a thought <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-wink.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /><br /> <br /> What if instead of, or prior to releasing your new book you do a speaking/seminar tour around the country.<br /> <br /> <br /> Ex., lets say you do a 2 day 16hr program that had a similar schedule to as follows:<br /> <br /> -Friday night: meet and greet at a bar. No information passed along but Slowlaners get to meet each other and yourself<br /> -Saturday: 8 hour seminar at hotel<br /> -Sunday: 8 hour seminar hotel<br /> <br /> -You charge ~$399 for the course (a certain person with 2 dads has a similar course for $495)<br /> (Not sure on price point here. A typical in-state college course over 16 weeks is ~31/hr and this is ~25/hr. Possible selling point?)<br /> -Lets say ~300 people attend that would give you a revenue of <b>$119,700</b> for the weekend<br /> -Costs are obviously renting out the hotel room (maybe do online so this isn&#039;t a factor), your travel, and your time.<br /> <br /> <br /> Blind spots:<br /> -I have no idea how much your first book profited so don&#039;t know if this is more profitable or less/hr spent.<br /> -After book release/initial interviews it is purely passive while this will cost you 2 days of your time each session.<br /> -I&#039;m not sure what it costs to rent out a 300+ person capacity hotel room for 2 days<br /> -I know from TMF you believe a lot of these are &quot;scams&quot; so ethically you would have to justify you are providing a valuable service.<br /> <br /> Scaling:<br /> -Maybe you want to go on a 2 month vacation around Europe/etc and you can spend a couple of the weekends doing this.<br /> <br /> <br /> Once again, this is just an idea I wanted to pass along. Haven&#039;t looked into this in depth as i&#039;d rather spend the rest of my day working on my own Fastlane rather than calling hotels and getting quotes, etc etc. <span class="smilie smilie--emoji" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8" data-shortname=":D">😀</span></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">What if you set it all up, MC&#039;d, and offer MJ $50k + airline tickets + hotel room a weekend?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">It&#039;s a great idea.<br /> <br /> Except there is one problem...<br /> <br /> I don&#039;t want to travel the country and I don&#039;t want to become another seminar guru. <br /> <br /> If my sole purpose was to grab cash and enter the world of gurudom, then yea, solid idea.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the suggestion!</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Now imagine a 3-day seminar, packed with not only MJ, but all other knowledgeable individuals of this forum, for a fraction of the price. Utopic right?</div>
