• For those that are serious about starting a business or feel like there existing business just hasn't taken off like they'd like it to, there will be a bonus session on the last evening. I'll be sharing all that I shared with these businesses that I mentioned above and more. Plus I think Mike and Kim from Lotz Photography will be there, Benjamin James from www.benjaminjamesphotography.com and Graham and Hillary Rouse from www.rousemultimedia.com, and Bryan Fenstermacher (Fensterbme on flicker) I'll be asking them to share some of the key things that they did themselves to help jump start their businesses and how they have become so successful so quickly.

• Special Discount Pricing will be available for seminar attendees only, on select products like ShowIt Web, ActionRunner, Bludomain Websites and more.
• Lunch will be provided for both sessions where you'll have an opportunity to network, socialize and just hang out with peers in your industry! Also we'll be having a cookout at our home (within walking distance of the seminar) where we'll just relax and have fun hanging after our live shoot, (you can see how we have our home set up to run our business without feeling like we live in a studio) then go get ice cream before our night shoot!
