Hey gang,

All the calls and all the group meetings are complete for this year, and the last audio has just been posted. Whew! What a great year!

But 2011 is coming up in just days, so mark your calendars now so you don't miss the very first meeting of 2011 at 9 a.m. (Pacific) on Monday, January 3. We've got a full schedule to look forward to, and I will see you then.

Have a great holiday week, everyone! See you soon.

Warmly,
Ronnie

Did you attend !nspiration Weekend 2010?

Then you'll know how valuable it was, and you'll want to get early bird admission on !nspiration Weekend 2011 plus first dibs on Hot Seats, Member Presentations, and more!

If you were there, CONGRATS! But if you weren't,  you don't want to miss this...

!nspiration Weekend was a life altering and business boosting event that has changed Masterminders' businesses for the better.

If you weren't able to make it to this live event, you may have missed your opportunity to benefit in 2010, but please do yourself a favor and not let this opportunity pass you by in 2011.

If you did join us, then you know what kind of value you experienced and here's an opportunity to reserve your place at our next meeting at the greatest discount available!

Hear what some of you had to say about !nspiration Weekend 2010:

The Inspiration Weekend was worth much more than I paid for it--and I am still taking it all in...I wish this group and knowledge had been available to me 30 years ago. I'd be wealthy today. ~Joy Overstreet

I loved the Inspiration Weekend! Thanks for culling the group so we have the best people. The value of that process showed! I had a mind shift in the Hot Seat. That's what it is about for me--getting my mind around things. ~Caron MacLane

Thank you for a terrific and of course once again true to its name Inspiration Weekend. Looking around the room, it was wonderful to see my fellow Masterminders who've become an integral part of my life there, growing and helping each other succeed. ~Dana Greyson

Even though was so much value received by the participants of !nspiration Weekend 2010, we wanted to top what's been done. We challenged ourselves to DOUBLE the benefits for our SoHo Mastermind members, and based on member feedback and suggestions, came up with even more value for the next !nspiration Weekend! What's that look like? The number of Hot Seats has been boosted to 16, and we've added a whole new opportunity: Member Presentations! (And more good news coming, so watch this space.)

One cool new upgrade is that you can choose the type of registration you want--whether to include a Hot Seat, or a Member Presentation--for the same low price. You will be guaranteed to receive what you register for, so no disappointments or miscommunications this year!

Scheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 11-12, 2011, this powerful event is a tremendous opportunity for your business, so make sure you plan to be there.

Get more details in the Members-only area on the Inspiration Weekend page, and then see the member videos on www.YouTube.com/SoHoMarketingGuru.

Enjoy!
