I did a Twitter poll asking people which cities they most want the Making Things Happen™ Intensive tour to visit. Here’s what you told me, starting with cities that got the most votes. (I only included places that got more than one vote)
Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Las Vegas, Houston, Denver, Pittsburgh, Hawaii, Raleigh, San Francisco, Austin, Charlotte, Orlando, Cayman, Washington DC, Minneapolis, Portland, Orange County, Monterey Bay, San Diego, Tampa, Saratoga, Santa Cruz, Seattle, Charleston, Richmond, Australia, Costa Rica, Wilmington, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Baltimore, Traverse City, Telluride, Little Rock, Philadelphia, Miami, Memphis, Indianapolis, Berkley, Oakland, Puerto Rico, Jacksonville, Savannah, Eugene, Napa, and Jackson Hole.
I listened. The top cities have been confirmed! Until January 1st, I’m giving early bird registration pricing for the following cities. After January 1st, pricing will increase. Each city has a different size limit and some cities may be broken up into two days depending on demand (highly possible for LA and Atlanta).

Seattle :: January 16th *guest speakers: Blair and Christy from Junebug Weddings
Los Angeles :: January 18th *guest speaker: Jose Villa

It’s time to make big things happen in your business. You know where you want to go. Let’s do this.

But,if not the Maryland area, then I would be more than {happy} to be of assistance in PITTSBURGH- ‘woo hoo’ CMU & Univ of Pittsburgh!
SO unbelievably thrilled to hear that you’re coming to Pittsburgh!! This made my day! If you need any assistance with Pittsburgh, please let me know, and I’d be more than happy to lend a helping hand!
Yay!! So excited that Nashville made the list!! If there is anything I can do to help please don’t hesitate to let me know!!
WooooWhooooo!!
Sumer and Delores- I love the ‘burg! My dad went to Pitt and I went to CMU. I have been wanting to go back and visit for years!
Oh come to Denver. Let me know if you need help. I will be more than happy to help you with anything. I think downtown would be a great area for this. So many great venues and it’s such an easy city to get around. Hooray! This is exciting!
Definitely Philadelphia – it’s the city of brotherly love! If you come to Philly, then I can hopefully come meet you.
If not, I may have to make the trek up to NYC.
How come Orlando is the only starred state that isn’t listed in the register list? Stop teasing us!
I would love to have you come to Houston, but Austin would be a wonderful choice too

I see my dear friend Kirsten already spoke for me, but I’ve got to post my vote too- please come to Minneapolis!!
Columbus Ohio- but if not I will see you in Pitt!
Richmond/Williamsburg/Virginia Beach, VA would be a great location for a training. We have some awesome resorts, hotels and plantations where you could hold this event.
You are right – 2010 is our year to shine and go for everything we want in life. I have decided to go for a new image, event and lifestyle coaching business and I want to have the best training behind me for success.
I would also be more than happy to help coordinate. Let us know here in Virginia.
