Fun with Video!

auctiondiva — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:36:00 +0000

I’ve been playing around a lot lately with making video to promote my weekly internet marketing group. It isn’t as easy as it seems (ok, maybe that is just me!), so I am still a work in progress. I learn something with ever attempt…like my camera picks up background noise I barely notice, but it ends up drowning me out! So the one below is from my very first series, just shot in my dimly lit apartment and if you watch closely you will see an unscripted appearance by one of the inhabitants of my house!

Your budding videographer,

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!

Entrepreneurial Inspiration

Awestruck

auctiondiva — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:44:35 +0000

I don’t often get time to enjoy my past times as much as I would like right now; having a full time job along with 3 part time passions (yeah, can’t call them jobs because I love what I do!) cuts into the free time just a little. So though I may not have the time right now to take off a full day or weekend to unwind and enjoy the magnificence of our world, I try to at least take a few moments a day to enjoy the beauty around me and even in what I find on the internet.

Scuba diving is one of the most relaxing and peaceful activities for me, yet I have never seen anything as incredible as this. I hope you enjoy this clip as well!

Anticipating the Newest Family Member!

auctiondiva — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:10:28 +0000

I am getting very excited about the arrival of my new niece or nephew…won’t know which until the big day. My sister’s first baby! My sister has been my savior and inspiration. She has also been my biggest supporter and fan. I am therefore thrilled to be welcoming this little life into the world in January. I can’t wait to tell it all the wonderful things about it’s mom that she would never say about herself. I hope to be as influential in it’s life as she has been in mine!

Here is a pic of the little one, chilling in the womb:

I love you baby!

Big Hairy Audacious Goals

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.

A Legend is Born!

auctiondiva — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 11:20:00 +0000

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.

Auction Diva

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.

The Power of 1 Man!

I was recently connecting with other returned Peace Corps volunteers online and came across this video of an award wining film about a singer trying to inspire change through music.

I am very grateful to have had the opportunities in my life to experience a way of life and a culture very different than my own. I do not have the gift of music, but am thrilled to harness the power of the internet to hopefully inspire and raise awareness about the world around us.

With love and respect,

Auction Diva
