THE MAKING THINGS HAPPEN INTENSIVE TOUR

Share

making-things-happen-tour-map-2

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).

Want the inside scoop from someone who has experienced #MTH2010? Watch this and check out what people are saying.

I can’t wait to start this journey and meet everyone on the way!  Who’s coming with me?

  12. Cherin - Customized Wedding Creations on December 10, 2009 at 8:08 pm

    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.

  13. Becka @Studio222 Photography on December 10, 2009 at 8:40 pm

    How come Orlando is the only starred state that isn’t listed in the register list? Stop teasing us! 😉

  14. Pam Parker on December 10, 2009 at 8:57 pm

  24. Monica on December 11, 2009 at 9:29 am

    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.
