Doing Hard Things
Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Last weekend I had the great privilege of attending the Nashville stop of the Do Hard Things tour featuring the Harris brothers of The Rebelution fame. It was a phenomenal experience.
Alex & Brett have encouraged me and inspired me the last several years to indeed Do Hard Things, and not to waste my teen years. They’ve done this through their blog and their books; the event last weekend tied everything together great.

I highly recommend The Rebelution blog, and encourage you to attend one of their few remaining conferences this year. Learn more here.

Road Show(s)
Friday, August 13, 2010
A recent swing West and back brought a few unexpected television encounters.
We pulled into our hotel in Los Angeles, and the lobby was teeming with the unmistakable buzz of production personnel. The parking lot was full of production vehicles…

1,500 miles to the East, on the way home, we stopped to spend the night with friends. We enjoyed breakfast the following morning…

They shared entertaining stories…
And then another television crew arrived…

A few of the cast members ended up coming back to Nashville with us…
There’s no chance we’ll be seen in an upcoming episode of The Biggest Loser. As to the other show, we’ll find out soon…
Let us know what you think!

Small Businesses Inspired by ‘Family Works’
Tuesday, August 10, 2010

We’ve been getting lots of positive feedback on our most recent film, Family Works: Inspiring Profiles of Family Business. We received this encouraging note in our inbox earlier today:
I just wanted to write a quick note and tell you how much I have enjoyed your newest title “Family Works”. It has been a great source of information and encouragement to my family and I. It was great to see profiles of other businesses that share the same beliefs we do, as well as learn how to better our business. I’m looking forward to future installments of “Family Works”!
Sincerely,
Molly P.
Keep your eyes peeled for Family Works Volume II in late-summer!
Top Training Now Online
Tuesday, August 10, 2010

We’re happy to report that our co-collaborator on the Venture Academy entrepreneurial training program, Wade Myers, has been readying the Venture Academy for online delivery at his New Venture Lab website. You can review this exciting new way of accessing the Venture Academy material here: http://www.ventureacademyonline.com.
Here’s a testimonial from that site:
“I learned more from the Venture Academy than I did in my $35k MBA program. My family worked through the videos together and much of it applied to our publishing business and our training ministry. We’ve come a long way since just last year.”
— Chris J.
We’ve also taken many of the core lectures and made them available in the new Venture Academy Lecture Series. And what we’re calling the prequel to the Venture Academy, the first installment in our Family Works Series (also hosted by Wade Myers) is available now.
We’re very pleased to have partnered with Mr. Myers to provide these outstanding entrepreneurial training materials. We pray they’re a great benefit to you and your family.
