Fun with Bears in Tampa

auctiondiva — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:10:01 +0000

We recently had the pleasure of seeing Frank McKinney at a book signing in Tampa. This was the second time I had that honor in a week. I had previously been blown away when he came to present at the monthly TWBA meeting. His story was very inspirational and motivational for me. I was most impressed by his humbleness, desire to help others and passion for sustainable development.

However, I have to admit, he earned the most points when he agreed to pose with two bears, Commander Blue and Certainty, my TWBAOnline mascot.

Thanks Frank, you are a kind and generous person. I am glad to know you!

Check out the cool things he is doing:

Frank McKinney.

I recently had the huge pleasure of meeting Linda Burhans granddaughter, Sklyar, at my TWBAOnline Brandon meeting. Linda’s effect on Skylar is immediately evident. This little girl is amazingly polite, sweet and industrious. Inspired by her grandmother’s work, she already is a published author! During our meeting while we were having boring grown up talk she decided to be productive and ended up helping our waitress clean and prep at the end of her shift. I know Sklyar will be doing great things soon and was thrilled to have met her!

BHAGs are for People Too – The Trump Blog

In their groundbreaking business book, Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies, Jim Collins and Jerry Porras introduce BHAGS – Big Hairy Audacious Goals. These are 10-to-30-year goals that change the very nature of a business’s existence and often the nature of entire industries.

People can have big hairy audacious goals too. Just look at Ed Viesturs. Ed decided to climb all 14 of the world’s 8,000 meter (26,000 feet) mountains. It took him 18 years to do it and it changed his life.

Big Hairy Audacious Goals

A Legend is Born!

A couple months ago I recruited a friend of mine to accompany me for the creation of Certainty, the newest TWBAOnline mascot, since I didn’t think I could brave Build A Bear alone. I am thrilled that Commander Blue and TWBAOnline inspired the birth of Luciano Pavoturkey.

Luciano’s is going to bring the world of opera down to earth and enjoyable for everyone.

I was thrilled to be there to witness the birth of the world’s first opera turkey!

It is fun to see people’s creativity come alive! I can’t wait to see the reaction of the opera stars in Italy to Luciano.

P.S. I would love to hear about what has inspired you lately!

P.P.S. Want to meet Luciano and attend a FREE opera concert? Not a trick and no strings attached; just a warm up for an upcoming performance in Italy! It is this Friday July 17th; get the details here: Summer Serenade

After a year of trying to get United to remedy his claim of a broken guitar, Dave Carroll, finally brought his frustrations to the world in this YouTube music video: United Breaks Guitars.

Just 2 days after the post, United finally opened talks to try to rectify the situation! Great example of how powerful social media can be and how important it is to create a good customer experience.

Do You Have Certainty?

auctiondiva — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:00:04 +0000

I had the rare joy of relaxing with my family a couple of weeks ago and my mom gave me a wonderful bit of insight that inspired the name of my new TWBAOnline mascot. My life and dreams have always centered around change; I embrace it, need it and thrive on it, because I love learning and experiencing new things. This is also a key in internet marketing, as it is a field that is continually evolving and quickly. So my mother suggested my new mascot be named Certainty, “because the only thing certain in life is change.”

So mom, thank you for reminding me of that and here is a video for you from the guys of TWBAOnline welcoming Certainty into the group.

P.S. Come see Certainty in person at our local internet mastermind group! TWBAOnlineBrandon

P.P.S. Remember I have faith in you, so always be certain; certain that you can adapt to and thrive on change and take advantage of all the wonderful things life has to offer!

P.P.P.S Thanks Chris for opening my eyes to all the possibilities a bear has to offer!
