Get Motivated!
Dec. 3rd, 2008 03:02 amI went with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ethanhunter to the Get Motivated seminar today after my Dr's appointment as part of the Austin Personal Development Group. Many thanks to ethanhunter for arranging tickets! The appt. cost me hearing Colin Powell, but I *did* get to see Zig Ziglar, Rudy Giuliani, and Suse Orman, along with a couple of other salesperson types. There was a certain amount of trying to sell things, but it was much more low-key than at the Celebrity Conference I went to last time. Most items were $50 or under. I signed up for a web marketing course for all of $30, which I split with ethanhunter and could use for several different vectors of my future plans. Overall the speakers were quite good, and it was interesting to note which techniques they used to help keep the crown interested and get their point across. It turns out that Zig Ziglar is having some short-term memory loss due to a fall, and his daughter was helping him do the presentation to keep him on track. Overall I'm glad I went, and I had a great personal development conversation with ethanhunter at Koriente afterward, redeeming an earlier fiasco looking for lunch all over downtown Austin.
