			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not too long ago,  		Ryan Lee was struggling to support his young family as a physical  		education teacher in the Bronx.  		With his  		very first online product (with zero experience) he made close to  		$20,000.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m in Ecuador this week for my  		<a href="../../retreat-waitlist.htm">Work at What You Love Retreat</a>, so I&#8217;ve  		asked Lisa Tarrant, my on-hand &#8220;techie,&#8221; to work with Ryan in getting  		this content to you.</p>

<li>How to make money online with ZERO  		technical skills</li>
<li>His top-secret resource to automate  		everything (no one knows about it!)</li>
<li>And much more!</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.<br />
Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.&#8221; <em><br />
Carl Jung </em></p>
<p>Since I  	began offering retreats in my home last year, I&#8217;ve heard from hundreds  	of people from all over the world. People who would LOVE to travel to attend  	a live workshop, but who, for one reason or another, simply can&#8217;t swing it.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t  	want anyone left out of what truly is a transformative experience.</p>
<p>So  	I&#8217;ve put together a highly convenient and affordable &#8220;virtual&#8221; workshop you  	can attend without ever leaving home. Over the course of 3 days you will:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><strong>Discover the powerful secrets to turning almost <em>any  			passion into a money-making small business</em>&#8230;</strong></li>
<li><strong>Work one-on-one with an acclaimed expert to define your  			calling&#8230; overcome the obstacles&#8230; and begin to take the leap from  			having a boss to being your own boss&#8230;</strong></li>
<li><strong>Give yourself the time and space you need to tune out the  			&#8220;noise&#8221; of your world as it is and tune into your wildest dreams&#8230; </strong></li>
<li><strong>Walk away with your own step-by-step plan to make your dream  			of working at what you love a reality and…</strong></li>
<li><strong>Keep the all-important momentum to follow through going with  			(optional) via weekly calls with fellow attendees</strong></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>When you  	attend the <strong>Work at What You Love</strong> <em>Virtual</em> Weekend Workshop,  	you&#8217;ll still get the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">full benefit of being coached personally by me</span> on how to tune into the things you love to do and discover viable ways  	you can turn the things you love to do into income (this alone represents up  	to a $1,200 value).</p>
<p><em>Plus,</em> you also will still gain all of the support, encouragement, and input that  	comes from pursing your dream in the company of a small group of determined  	change seekers&#8230; people who want you to succeed as much as I do!</p>
<p>Will this  	program work for you? When you watch the videos or the read the  	<a href="http://changingcoursearchives.com/issue233.html#garden" target="_blank">success  	stories</a> and see the amazing results past participants have made literally in  	a matter of months, the clear answer is &#8220;Yes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Because of  	the one-to-one time I spend with each participant, spaces in the No-Travel  	&#8220;Work at What You Love&#8221; Virtual Weekend Workshop <span style="text-decoration: underline;">are still limited</span>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I  know you want to work at what you love.</p>
<p>I am  guessing that money is tight.</p>
<p>I  know, too, that if you&#8217;re not a big traveler, then coming to a live event by  yourself can feel daunting.</p>
<p>So,  here&#8217;s what I&#8217;d like to do&#8230;</p>
<p>If  you watched the <a href="../../retreat"> heartfelt videos</a> from people who&#8217;ve attended one of my previous &#8220;Work at  What You Love&#8221; workshop &amp; retreat&#8230;</p>
<p>The  ones where one person after another&#8230; after another&#8230; looked you in the eye  and told you point blank:</p>
<p><strong> &#8220;If you really want to find a way to make a living doing what you love &#8211;<br />
then  you HAVE to find a way to come to this AMAZING retreat!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>If  you read the <a href="../2010/10/work-at-what-you-love-workshop-retreat/">true-life success stories of people</a> like Gail, Serena, Judy, Ashley, and  others who literally in a matter of MONTHS, have made incredible progress on  their dreams &#8212; with several actually quitting their j-o-b-s&#8230;</p>
<p>And  you&#8217;re STILL on the fence about attending the upcoming &#8220;Work at What You Love&#8221;  Workshop &amp; Retreat because of money or worries about traveling on your own&#8230;</p>
<p>I  have some really good new!</p>
<p><strong> I&#8217;ve come up with a way to help you realize your dream of working at what you  love&#8230; have more fun doing it.. and SAVE OVER $1,300. </strong></p>
<p>In  few weeks, an intentionally very small group of people (no more than eight) will  gather in my living room in the hills of western Massachusetts.</p>
<p>And I  want you to be one of them.</p>
<p>The  people who have already signed up know how vitally necessary it is to really  slow down and tune into their dreams in a deeply intimate way.</p>
<p>But  mostly they come seeking the answer to the essential question they &#8212; and YOU &#8211;  have been asking forever&#8230;</p>
<p><strong> &#8220;How can I do work that I love AND make money?&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>Whether you want to totally replace your mind-numbing job. Or just find a  creative way to bring in an extra three or four figures a month on the side&#8230;</p>
<p>Either way, like I said, I&#8217;d like to extend a unique opportunity for you and a  friend to attend the November 12-14, 2010 workshop at an enormous savings.</p>
<p>Normally the 3-day workshop including materials, most meals, and a private,  pre-workshop coaching session with me (which alone can run as high as $1200) &#8212;  is $1497.</p>
<p>But  when you sign up for the &#8220;Work at What You Love&#8221; workshop &amp; retreat &#8212; you can  bring&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;a  friend<br />
&#8230;your spouse or partner<br />
&#8230;a  buddy from work<br />
&#8230;your mom<br />
&#8230;your brother<br />
&#8230;your cousin<br />
&#8230;sister-in-law<br />
&#8230;your postal carrier<br />
&#8230;the server at Starbucks&#8230;</p>
<p>WHOEVER you want for only $197 extra.</p>
<p>If you both paid  separately, the two workshop seats would cost just under $3,000. But when you  sign up <span style="text-decoration: underline;">together</span>, your companion can attend the retreat for only $197  more.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s an  automatic total savings of $1,300!</p>
<p>Assuming you  split the savings, you and your companion are attending the entire retreat for  only $847 each.</p>
<p>When you  consider that I charge close to that for a few hours of personal coaching, I  think you&#8217;re agree this is a remarkable offer.</p>
<p>Plus, since  you&#8217;re sharing hotel and other travel expenses, your total savings is actually  much higher.</p>
<p>I hope this  offer to save you over $1,300 &#8212; and give you an excuse to share your journey  with a friend or loved one gets you off the fence and onto the road to right  livelihood.</p>
<p>Register here  now:</p>
<p><a href="../../retreat">http://www.changingcourse.com/retreat</a></p>
<p>As Margaret  Bourke White once wrote, &#8220;Action stops fear.&#8221;</p>
<p>So call your  friend and tell them you&#8217;ve found a way you can BOTH work at what you love!</p>
<p>To your dreams,</p>
<p>Valerie Young<br />
Dreamer in  Residence<br />

<p>P.S. There are  so few times in our life when a decision really can make the difference between  living life as it is&#8230; or as you wish it to be. This is one of those times.</p>
<p>To learn more  about how you and a friend can be among the only 8 people to attend the live  November 12-14, 2010 &#8220;Work at What You Love&#8221; workshop &amp; retreat and SAVE over  $1300 visit:</p>

<h2><strong> * Love to  				Attend But Can&#8217;t Travel?</strong> <strong>Register for the</strong> <strong><em> Virtual</em> Work at What You Love Workshop</strong></h2>
<h3>December 3-5, 2010</h3>
<p>Since I  				began offering these retreats in my home last year, I&#8217;ve heard  				from hundreds of people who would LOVE to be there.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love my &#8220;job&#8221;!</p>
<p>I just hung up the phone from talking with Gail Ruth, one of the eight people who attended my very first &#8220;Work at What You Love&#8221; Workshop &amp; Retreat in February.</p>
<p>The fact that Gail traveled across five time zones from Alaska to be at my workshop in Massachusetts was impressive in and of itself. But after hearing a first-hand update about the incredible progress she&#8217;s made, I am really blown away.</p>
<p>First, when the owner of a local gift store saw Gail&#8217;s exquisite hand painted silk scarves, she asked her to be the store&#8217;s featured artist for October.</p>
<p>The very next week Gail was invited to display her scarves as part of a two day spiritual retreat. She completely sold out of all 35 scarves by noon the first day!</p>
<p>To see Gail&#8217;s new website, the artist at work, and of course her beautiful art work go to<a title="http://www.gailruth.com/" href="http://www.gailruth.com" target="_blank">www.GailRuth.com</a>.</p>
<p>Speaking of artists&#8230; What creative person hasn&#8217;t yearned for their own separate workspace?</p>
<p>Well, earlier this week Judy from Rhode Island emailed me a picture of herself standing in her newly leased 1,000 square foot studio. She wanted a dedicated space for &#8220;idea incubation&#8221; and creative exploration. And she went for it!</p>
<p>Keep your eye out for the photo in the next newsletter plus more fun details about Judy&#8217;s plans to parlay her love of, among other things, puppetry and adult play, into a viable profit center!</p>
<p>The big news from Serena in San Francisco is &#8212; drum roll please &#8212; she quit her corporate job!</p>
<p>Not only is she fast becoming a gifted children&#8217;s book writer, but Serena is making good on the goal she set at the workshop to double her monthly eBay income from $1,000 to $2,000! Go Serena!</p>
<p>She&#8217;s not the only one to show up at my workshop and within months leave their job to pursue their dream&#8230;</p>
<p>Melissa also made good on her promise to walk away from her high stress job at a law firm in Boston. From here she applied and got accepted into a program at MIT. It&#8217;s all part of Melissa&#8217;s larger plan to use her law degree to work for social justice in Latin America.</p>
<p>And in a similar vein, Ashley from Toronto put her massage practice on hold to realize a long held dream to move to Latin America to explore what the future may hold for her in a place she loved as a child.</p>
<p>(Hint: If you&#8217;re still searching for your calling look to your childhood as Ashley did.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be sharing more success stories in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>Mostly I want you to see that how people who attend the &#8220;Work at What You Love&#8221; workshop and retreat make more progress toward creating their ideal work/lives in a few short months than most people do in their entire lives!</p>
<p>It truly is a life changing experience.</p>
<p>And I hope this November 12-14 you put yourself on track to be my next success story!</p>
<p>* * * Which leads me to my gentle reminder * * *</p>
<p>The Early Bird $375 Savings for the November 12-14 &#8220;Work at What You Love&#8221; Workshop &amp; Retreat held at my home in Montague, Massachusetts ends on Friday, October 15th.</p>
<p>I also set up a lower monthly payment plan to make this program more accessible to more people.</p>
<p>If travel is totally out for you, email me &#8212; <a title="mailto:Valerie@ChangingCourse.com?subject=Virtual Retreat" href="mailto:Valerie@ChangingCourse.com?subject=Virtual Retreat" target="_blank">Valerie@ChangingCourse.com</a> &#8212; for details about my Lower Price &#8211; No Travel &#8220;Virtual Retreat.&#8221;</p>
<p>And even though its obviously more profitable to me to expand the group size, I am committed to ensuring everyone&#8217;s dream gets maximum attention.</p>
<p>For that reason attendance is still limited to only 8 people.</p>
<p>If you watched the videos from past attendees at <a title="http://www.changingcourse.com/retreat" href="http://www.ChangingCourse.com/retreat" target="_blank">www.ChangingCourse.com/retreat</a>, then you know this is truly a transformative event.</p>
<p>Whether you can attend or not, if you haven&#8217;t seen the videos I encourage you to watch. I know just &#8220;meeting&#8221; these amazing dreamers and dream doers and matching their success stories to their videos will inspire you to follow your own dream of working at what you love.</p>
<p>To your dreams,</p>
<p>Valerie Young<br />
Dreamer in Residence<br />
<a title="http://www.changingcourse.com/" href="http://www.ChangingCourse.com" target="_blank">www.ChangingCourse.com</a></p>
<p>P.S. I have SO MUCH to share with you about how you can discover joyful, meaningful work. In fact you&#8217;ll receive a full hour of a personalized Profiting from Your Passion brainstorming session before you even arrive at the workshop.</p>
<p>But please understand, this is not me talking &#8220;at you&#8221; for three days.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Work at What You Love&#8221; Workshop and Retreat is about you rolling up your sleeves and with my expert guidance plus the support of a room full of enthusiastic dreamers &#8212; together we&#8217;ll craft a vision and a plan for you to experience the joy and control doing work that feeds your soul.</p>
<p>To learn more and to take advantage of the $375 SAVINGS that ENDS October 15th, go to <a title="http://www.changingcourse.com/retreat" href="http://www.changingcourse.com/retreat" target="_blank">www.ChangingCourse.com/retreat</a> now.</p>

<p>QUESTION: Do you work in a  high stress job you don&#8217;t enjoy&#8230; or for a boss you don&#8217;t respect&#8230; do you  often pray for a snow day, a sick day, Friday or any day but Monday?</p>
<p>At one time or another we&#8217;ve  all stayed in toxic jobs. Are we masochists? No.</p>
<p>The reason we squander our  gifts, and sometimes even our health, comes down to one word: MONEY.</p>
<p>Obviously we all need money.  Yet our attitudes about money &#8212; where it comes from and what to do with it vary  tremendously. Working for a salary is one way.</p>
<p>But even if you make a very  good salary, it&#8217;s not the path to wealth and it&#8217;s certainly not your ticket to  freedom.</p>
<h2>Demystifying Financial  Freedom</h2>
<p>In his best-selling book <em> Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and  Middle Class Do Not!,</em> Robert  Kiyosaki says there are  two different approaches to money.</p>
<p>He uses the metaphor of his  two dads to explain the differences &#8212; one of which will allow you to fire your  boss in 90 days or less&#8230; the other pretty much ensures a life time sentence in  job jail.</p>
<p><em> Poor Dad</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Whenever you work for a  salary you are unwittingly demonstrating the money mentality of a &#8220;poor dad.&#8221;</li>
<li>The  poor dad is preoccupied with things like job security, Social Security, vacation  and sick leaves, company insurance and salary raises and promotions.</li>
<li>The  thinking here is that you need to work hard to have enough money to pay the  bills.</li>
</ul>
<p>In  other words, if you approach money from the mentality of the poor dad, you will  never fire your boss, because you need him or her for security. You will also  never be free.</p>
<p><em> Rich Dad</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Rich dads do  not approach money from the perspective of security. Rather they approach money  from the mindset of &#8220;opportunity.&#8221;</li>
<li>The goal of  the rich dad is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> to pay the bills but to be financially  self-sufficient.</li>
<li>If you really  want to achieve true wealth, Kiyosaki says you must strive for ways to become  your own boss and nurture your own businesses or in his words, you need to &#8220;mind  your own business&#8221; and not your employers.</li>
<li>The  Rich Dad&#8217;s approach is not to &#8220;make&#8221; money. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">It&#8217;s to make one’s money work for  him</span>.</li>
<li>One of the best ways to  make your money work for you is to accumulate assets  in the form of real estate.  In Kiyosaki&#8217;s case that meant starting small, gradually trading his properties  for bigger ones and then delaying paying taxes on capital gains by using the tax  code to his advantage.</li>
</ul>
<p>If that sounds either  intimidating, or given your current financial situation &#8220;impossible,&#8221; hang with  me.</p>
<h2><strong> Move Over Donald Trump</strong></h2>
<p>This notion of there being a  Rich Dad approach to money came alive to me two years ago when I ponied up  $18,000 to be in one of Yanik Silver&#8217;s Mastermind groups. It was a lot of money.</p>
<p>But, I also knew from my  previous experience being in a Mastermind group with Jeff Walker that being in  the company of successful entrepreneurs really ups your game&#8230; mentally <span style="text-decoration: underline;">and</span> financially.</p>
<p>It was hard not to notice that  a quarter of the members in Yanik&#8217;s Mastermind &#8212; and the most financially  successful ones &#8212; were all in the real estate investment business. I was  inspired.</p>
<p>Trust me, I am no real estate  mogul. But after happily pouring over real estate listings for years I finally  took the plunge last December and got my first investment property.</p>
<p>The house had sat vacant for  two years. The pipes burst (along with one toilet). It had hideous gold shag  carpet. The kitchen ceiling had caved in. The vinyl siding was chipped. There  was a bizarre &#8220;walk through&#8221; closet where a wall was smashed. The place was a  mess.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://changingcoursearchives.com/images/terry/water%20damage%20toilet.jpg" border="2" alt="" width="150" height="200" /> <img src="http://changingcoursearchives.com/images/terry/siding.jpg" border="2" alt="" width="200" height="150" /> <img src="http://changingcoursearchives.com/images/terry/busted%20wall.jpg" border="2" alt="" width="150" height="199" /><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">BEFORE</span></p>
<p>But where others saw disaster,  I saw opportunity.</p>
<p>A five bedroom, three bath  house with a fenced in yard in a decent neighborhood. I watched the price drop  three times in six months before it went to $99,000.</p>
<p>I figured most people would  come in low. So I offered $101,000&#8230; and I got it!</p>
<p>It took two months, a lot of  sweat equity, and about $35,000, but today it looks great! I had all the carpets  taken out and refinished the floors. I created a laundry room. I landscaped.  And, you can&#8217;t tell from this photo, but I stripped the mahogany banister.</p>
<p>Not only did I love the design  aspect of picking out paint colors and fixtures, but I discovered I&#8217;m a pretty  good general contractor! (Tip: Always get three estimates for everything and,  whenever possible, pay based on time and materials vs. hard estimates).</p>
<p>If I don&#8217;t rent it to  photography students at the nearby Hallmark Institute next year, I may try my  hand at furnishing the place and creating a short-term stay &#8220;hotel&#8221; type rental.  I love thinking creatively about how to monetize the place!</p>
<p>I also admit that the working  class, re-use/environmentalist, &#8220;love a good deal&#8221; part of me is far more  energized at finding and fixing up a fabulous $10 bureau at a tag sale (or  better yet plucking &#8220;free&#8221; stuff homeowners leave on the side of the road!) than  going to Ikea and buying everything new.</p>

AFTER</p>
<p>For now, the house is rented it  to a wonderful family who&#8217;d been burned out of their home two days after  Christmas. The couple, the mother-in-law, and three kids are thrilled because  the kids can stay in the same school system while their home is being rebuilt.</p>
<p>Positive cash flow is $600 a  month. Come January, I expect that to be $800.</p>
<p>Honestly, there are a lot  easier ways I could make $600-$800 a month. But when you consider this is on top  of other people paying off the mortgage for me&#8230; it&#8217;s a great retirement  vehicle and one that feels a whole lot more stable right now than the stock  market.</p>
<h2>You Don&#8217;t Have to Be &#8220;Rich&#8221; or  Savvy to Invest in Real Estate<strong> </strong></h2>
<p>With the exception of my  friend Ange (who was my inspiration for jumping into real estate), everyone else  I know who are savvy about real estate investing are men.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, they&#8217;re also  all quite wealthy. Every one of them have second homes in very cool places and  take a lot of time off for vacations.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m tired of seeing women  especially struggling to make money. Actually, let me rephrase that. I&#8217;m tired of  seeing bright women shy away from making money out of fear.</p>
<p>I get the fear part. I come  from a very long line of &#8220;play it safe in your job&#8221; people. No one in my family  was exactly &#8220;encouraging&#8221; about me buying this house.</p>
<p>But again, where they saw  danger, I saw opportunity.</p>
<p>And if you want to change  course to be your own boss, then you have to start stretching yourself to think  like an entrepreneur. And entrepreneurs (like rich dads) are all about seeing  and seizing opportunity.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t take guts to invest  in real estate. What it take is information. For example, you may be thinking,  &#8220;I don&#8217;t have a down payment for a house!&#8221; Maybe not. But you may have money  sitting in a 401k. And did you know that you can use that money to invest in  real estate just as you would in a mutual fund?</p>
<p>The more you know the less  scary anything is &#8211; and that includes investing in real estate.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I asked my friend  and former Mastermind buddy Terry Wygal to lead a Webinar to educate you on what  it takes to get into real estate investing and how to start earning money fast.  Terry would know.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://changingcoursearchives.com/images/terry/Mastermind%20group%20shot.JPG" border="0" alt="" width="450" height="337" /><br />
Me with my Mastermind buddies  in 2008.<br />
That&#8217;s the always smiling Terry in the blue shirt to my left.</p>
<p>In April 2000 Terry took a  bold leap of faith and quit his high-paying, high-stress corporate job to become  a full-time real estate investor.</p>
<p><strong>Since then he has bought and sold over 150 houses</strong>, establishing himself  as an expert in the real estate field and earning him a solid reputation in the  real estate investment community.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s also helped free a whole lot of people from job jail. Or as Terry likes to  say, &#8220;Fire your boss in 90 days or less!&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of learning my  example. So, in addition to walking you through the various systems he uses to  make money in real estate, I&#8217;ve asked Terry to tell you about the single mother  of three who he showed how to not only fire her boss in less than three months  but come close to earning six-figures in less than 4 months of investing in real  estate.</p>
<p>Hey if she can do it, so can  you!</p>
<h2><strong> &#8220;But I Don&#8217;t  Have Enough Money&#8221;</strong></h2>
<p>When  you&#8217;re working for a salary, it&#8217;s easy to let opportunity pass you by with the  excuse, &#8220;But I can&#8217;t afford it.&#8221; Maybe you can and maybe you can&#8217;t.</p>
<p>However, I was really struck by the part in  Kiyosaki&#8217;s book  when he talks about being younger and complaining to his rich dad that he could  hardly afford to buy anything on his then salary. Instead of dwelling on how low  his wages were, his rich dad tells him that he should ask, “How can I make more  money?&#8221;</p>
<p>Asking  yourself &#8220;How can I make more money,&#8221; he says, stimulates the brain to take  action. When someone says, “I can’t afford it,” his or her brain stops working.  It therefore kills initiative and promotes passivity.</p>
<p>I  couldn&#8217;t &#8220;afford&#8221; to invest $18,000 in Yanik&#8217;s Mastermind &#8212; or for that matter  the $27,000 (gulp) I recently invested to be in another Mastermind. But I&#8217;ve  learned that investing in your education, is really investing in a better  financial future.</p>
<p>So,  instead of saying, &#8220;I can&#8217;t afford to invest in real estate&#8221; ask instead, &#8220;What  can I do to afford to invest in real estate.&#8221; Then listen and learn to see how  even you just may be able to fire your boss in 90 days or less!</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;"> Sometimes I have to pinch myself.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">I  actually went from commuting 90 miles a day to a cubicle job to doing work that  feeds my soul&#8230; that more than pays the bills&#8230; that I get to do in a place I  love AND that makes a difference in people&#8217;s lives.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;"> Changing lives by showing people like you how to 1) discover and 2) turn your  passions into a viable way to earn money is my work. It&#8217;s also my gift. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">I don&#8217;t mean to brag. But  I&#8217;m <em>very</em> good at what I do. Still it&#8217;s humbling to hear clients say <em>in  their own words</em>, how I have made a difference in their lives&#8230;</span></p>

finally</span> make it happen</span></strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">(If  you&#8217;ve told yourself: &#8220;I&#8217;ll go next time&#8221; be sure you read this entire letter.)</span></p>
<h1><strong> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Georgia Bold; color: navy;">A  Priceless Experience That&#8217;s</span></strong><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Georgia Bold; color: navy;"><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia Bold';">Too Important to Miss</span></strong></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Whether  you dream of starting your own import-export business&#8230; writing a best-selling  novel&#8230; owning a dude ranch&#8230; working with kids&#8230; living in the south of  France&#8230; whatever your passion&#8230; deep inside you know what you really love to  do, the life you dream of having&#8230; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">And this  June 25-27th, 2010 at the </span><strong><em> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: navy;">Work at What  You Love </span></em></strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">workshop and  retreat at my home in <span class="normalwebchar">Montague, Massachusetts,  you&#8217;ll learn how to harness that vision&#8230; and build a life around it that not  only provides you</span> a living&#8230; but feeds your spirit, too.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">There&#8217;s  more to say about the workshop but mostly I want you to know this:</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Georgia Bold; color: navy;">Your  Chance to Discover How to<br />
Work at What <span style="text-decoration: underline;">You</span> Love<br />
AND SAVE $500 Ends <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Soon</span> </span></strong></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Fair  warning &#8212; the $500 Off Early Bird Savings is days away&#8230; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">The  only thing worse than you squandering your chance to save $500 is you throwing  away your big chance to&#8230;</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Get  personalized coaching from an internationally renowned expert who has helped  people from around the world see viable ways to make a living without a job&#8230; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Figure out  what it is that you truly love to do&#8230; what makes you happy&#8230; the work that  feeds your soul&#8230; the work that makes full use of your unique gifts and inner  genius&#8230;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Make a  realistic action plan for actually going from &#8220;wishing&#8221; to doing&#8230;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Get an  ongoing support team ready made to cheer you on for weeks and even months or  years to come.</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: navy;">The Ideal Place to<br />
Start Simplifying and Slowing  Down</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Rather than sit in some  windowless uninspiring hotel meeting room, you will explore your inner calling  while you relax in my living room with a cup of tea, enjoy the view, and  converse with a very small group of like-minded souls. </span></p>
<p><strong> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-weight: normal;">I&#8217;ll  be hosting the workshop portion of this retreat in my uniquely designed  &#8220;Greek-style&#8221; home here in Montague, Massachusetts. Montague is at the foothills  of the Berkshires. Just 60 minutes from the Hartford CT airport, 90 minutes from  Boston, and three hours from New York.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Though close to civilization (and some fabulous restaurants), it feels a world  apart. I&#8217;m certain you&#8217;ll find it one of the most memorable places you&#8217;ll ever  have the pleasure of enjoying.</span></strong></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">What about  you? Are you ready to stop &#8220;wishing&#8221; you could make your life different and just  do it? Life is short. You have gifts the world needs. Gifts that are simply too  precious to waste.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Before he  died, <span class="hl">Michael</span> <span class="hl">Landon</span> reminded  us, &#8220;Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.&#8221; </span><strong> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Georgia Bold; color: navy;"> <img src="http://changingcoursearchives.com/images/early.gif" border="0" alt="" width="250" height="250" align="left" /></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Georgia Bold; color: navy;">If You  Are Ready To Work At What You Love, Then I Urge You Not To Miss This Chance</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Many people have called or  written to ask when the next seminar will be. <strong>I honestly do not know if I  will run this workshop in this manner again. </strong>I DO know that I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">will not</span> offer it again at this price. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Currently your  registration fee includes the chance to experience a 60 minute one-to-one laser  &#8220;Profiting From Your Passions&#8221; brainstorming session with me over the phone &#8212; <em>prior</em> to the actual workshop. That way you get to arrive at the retreat  armed with some great ideas ready to be put into action.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Presently I charge $250  for these kinds of individualized brainstorming sessions. Like I said, <em>I am  very good at what I do</em>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">I am SO good at helping  people monetize their interests that a dozen people I worked with in California  recently <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all</span> insisted that what I am charging for these 3 days is what I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">should</span> be charging for a <em>single</em> <em>hour</em> of my time. In the  future that&#8217;s exactly what I will do.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">I am not telling you this  to impress you, to brag. or to scare you. I am telling you this because I know  for a fact that my </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: navy;"> <a href="http://changingcourse.com/retreat.htm"> Work at What You Love Workshop &amp; Retreat</a> </span></strong></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">truly IS a life changing  experience. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">As things get busier with  my big book deal, I also know that in the very near future I will probably move  to offering these kind of private one-to-one full day laser coaching sessions  only. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Obviously since you will  have me all to yourself for an entire day, you will get a lot out of the  experience. But it will also be a <em>significantly</em> higher investment for  you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Frankly I would feel  terrible if you told yourself, &#8220;I&#8217;ll go next time&#8221; &#8212; only to find out that a)  there is no next time or b) you are simply priced out.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia;"><img src="http://changingcoursearchives.com/images/Cokie.gif" border="2" alt="" width="285" height="210" align="right" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">That said, I really hope  you can find a way to get here for the Work at What You Love Workshop &amp; Retreat.  Cokie has positively exhausted himself getting ready for this intimate June  25-27th weekend event!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: black;">If you think this might be  the right time for you to tune out the noise of the outside world and tune into  all the fabulous ways you can make a living doing what you love&#8230; click here to  learn more about the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Georgia; color: navy;"> <a href="http://changingcourse.com/retreat.htm"> Work at What You Love Workshop &amp; Retreat</a></span></strong></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll cut to the chase&#8230;</p>
<p>You know and I know that  you desperately want to do  work that pays the bills AND feeds  your soul.</p>
<p>So, in theory, all I  should have to do is remind you that  the $500 off Early Bird Savings ends TODAY for the  &#8220;Profiting From Your Passions&#8221; workshop &amp; retreat.</p>
<p>But you and I also know  that &#8220;wishing&#8221; is a whole lot  easier than &#8220;doing.&#8221;</p>
<p>***********************</p>
<p>So Ask Yourself&#8230;</p>
<p>***********************</p>
<p>Exactly how many more  years do you intend to waste&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8221;wishing&#8221; you could  change course to work at something  that makes you really happy?</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8221;settling&#8221; for less  satisfaction, balance, control, life?</p>
<p>&#8230;.&#8221;waiting&#8221; until the time is right to finally go after your  dream of being of your own boss?</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t need to be  this way you know.</p>
<p>***********************</p>
<p>The Wait Is Over</p>
<p>***********************</p>
<p>For the 8 very  determined people enrolled in the  SOLD OUT February event, the wait is over.</p>
<p>In about 20 hours,  change seekers from as far away  as Alaska, California, Texas, and Missouri will  descend on my home in rural Massachusetts.</p>
<p>I know they&#8217;re not  really coming just to soak up the  peaceful view from my living room window&#8230;  or the  chance to sit around a blazing fire sharing their  dreams with other like-minded souls&#8230; or the  gathering in the evenings for fabulous gourmet meals&#8230;</p>
<p>They&#8217;re coming because  they know that for 3 days they  are going to get my undivided attention. I&#8217;m going to  make sure they leave here on Sunday with&#8230;</p>
<p>*** a crystal clear  vision of how they want their future  lives to look&#8230;</p>
<p>*** concrete ways they  can make money doing what  they love&#8230;</p>
<p>*** a practical plan to  make it happen</p>
<p>*** PLUS the  all-important ongoing peer support they  need to follow through</p>
<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s seminar is  completely sold out. But that  doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;ve lost your chance, yet&#8230;</p>
<p>The next one is  happening March 26-28th and all the  details can be found at:</p>
<p><a href="http://changingcourse.com/retreat.htm"> http://ChangingCourse.com/retreat.htm</a></p>
<p>************************************</p>
<p>3 Things You Need To  Know</p>
<p>***********************************</p>
<p>1) I am intentionally  keeping these groups small so you  and your dream get MAXIMUM time and attention. As I  write this, there are only 5 spots left in the March session.</p>
<p>2) Holding these  intimate, time-intensive workshops in  my home is all a grand experiment. I am committed to  doing the February and March sessions. In a few days  I&#8217;ll know whether this is it or if I&#8217;ll do more. No promises  either way.</p>
<p>3) The Early Bird $500  OFF SAVINGS ENDS TODAY.  Since your meals are included, you can put that toward  a very reasonably priced hotel about 9 miles from my  house or your airfare.</p>
<p>Finally, this is what *<strong>I</strong>*  know.</p>
<p>I have been helping  people see ways to profit from their  passion for 15 years. And I can tell you with 100 percent  certainty that some amazing success stories are going to  come out of this February group. Simply said, people&#8217;s  lives will be changed forever.</p>
<p>There are lots of  reasons not to be here in March. But  when you stack these up against the chance to finally  get to do the work you really love, there really is no excuse.</p>
<p>To your dreams,</p>
