Ok, days before the conference is actually starting, and I have to say San Diego is a beautiful place. I left rainy SF, and the temp. here is a cool 70 (and everyone is complaining about how cold it is). The downtown is plenty of fun, and tonight - there’s salsa dancing (how cool is that), a few blocks from the hotel, at Cafe Sevilla.

So, today, I’m going to try and network a bit, and sit down and read the two books Frank sent out as primers. One, Life’s Golden Ticket by Brendon Burchard, and the second is The Wolf of Wall Street. Interesting selection of books. I may try to download to my Ipad for easier reading (hadn’t though of that til’ now).

Ok, 2 minutes later, just did it. Found the Golden Ticket book (and got it) on Ibooks, but the other one is not on Ibooks. I suppose if I had downloaded the Amazon Kindle app, I may have been able to do it. That would have saved a bit of luggage!

Anyway, there’s my plan. Read, prepare, and mindmap the new (top secret) business. This last task has eluded me for many months - hopefully the new locale will get me jump started. This, combined with a copious amount of coffee, ample sunlight, and the occasional walk around downtown San Diego, will keep me plenty busy. Oh, and there’s a Nobu across the street. Really, how cool is that?

Are you coming down to the Frank Kern List Control Seminar? If so, drop me a line at info@marketingcrazy.com

I’m here! Yes, I know it’s like 4 days early, but I left the cold and damp weather of Northern California for the sunny and warm weather of San Deigo, and I type this by the pool of the Hotel …

The List Control seminar is fully booked from the people whom plunked down the 2k for the List Control course. I was not able to even secure an extra ticket for my employees or girlfriend, according to support (and yes, I offered to actually simply pay for them, and was … denied). That was really disappointing, as I had hoped to bring some employees along, and let them relish in the party and learning atmosphere of it all. This conference will definitely be full, and I’m hopeful the attendees will be first rate.

Like most conferences and seminars, this one offers me a chance to get away, live like a king for a week, and ideally, make serious business progress. As I explained to a friend, I typically work in spurts, setting up automated internet businesses in a very small time frame, and then moving on quickly. It’s not that I’m lazy (we know by know, I’m quite the opposite), but I do have a short and quick attention span, and I realize for me to implement anything, it has to be done immediately, and completed fully, within a short time frame (typically three weeks).

We received the schedule, and Frank termed is a weekend of debauchery, cleverly disguised as a conference. I have a feeling it’s going to be a great experience. These conferences always seem to energize me, and leave me with, at best, a new business, and at worst, a solid promotional strategy.

I’m a solid internet marketing kool aid drinker of many years, and I have drank Frank’s kool aid, as I have ingested many others. However, over a decade myself, as an underground full time internet marketing guru has left my vision a little clearer than most, which is to say; even though I have ingested the kool aid, and signed up for the program, I think I can really offer a clear vision of what the average person will really get out of both the course, and the seminar. I look forward to sharing that opinion with you, after the seminar.

My equipment list for this seminar includes, the 3G Ipad, Macbook Pro (13), Iphone, Blackberry, and backup Thinkpad (because I still use Frontpage for some websites). I’m a veritable walking electronics store, but I am prepared, and eager to find out what’s in store for the week.

I’d love to connect with people similarly down for the List Control seminar, or holdovers from the Ed Dale Coming Home event … drop me a line, info@marketingcrazy.com.
