I will be out of the office on vacation from Monday afternoon through the holiday weekend. As you can probably guess from the GIF above, I am going to Minneapolis for a week. How's that for fun?
What this means to you: I will be unavailable from Monday, June 26th from 2 PM until Wednesday, July 5th at 9 AM. While I may be able to check the DIY Facebook group during vacation, I can't promise anything.
If you have emergency issues with the website during my absence, call Jerry at 360-721-0912 for help. Other than that, please market responsibly, and I will see you when I return. Thank you!
Warmly,

9 AM Action Calls on Hiatus All Summer
First the good news: The 8 AM and 1 PM Action Calls are still happening every Monday (except on national holidays). However, due to lower participation in summer months, the 9 AM Action Calls are on hiatus until the middle of September.
You still have the choice between morning or afternoon meetings for your Action Call, and the call capacity will be increased as needed, so you will always have the option to attend an Action Call all summer long.
The 9 AM Action Call will be back, refreshed, tanned, and no doubt with plenty of fun vacations stories to tell in mid-September.

There's a ton happening around here, so here's a quick summary of the stuff you need to know about this week (in calendar order):
The Mastermind Virtual Intensive, a six-session small group project-focused mastermind, starts Wednesday at 9 AM Pacific. There is one space open; details here.
Marketing Coaching Calls are now in TWO HOUR blocks, so you can sign up for either hour, which reduces waiting time. Each participant get 8 full minutes of 1:1 coaching, and all members are welcome. No charge for all access pass holders; $40 for members.
The Marketing MAP seminar is back on Thursday, and even though I made a mistake on the ticket price (my typo made it $10 instead of $20 for members), I will honor the $10 fee. The next session is in August and is at the corrected price.
The third class in the DIY's networking series, Super Powered Networking Training, happens on Friday. All members are welcome and registration is appreciated. Fair warning: As of October, the networking series of classes will be available as part of the local and all access passes only, but will be available at member pricing for all members.
The handouts and slides for this month's marketing class Modern PR for Small Business are posted on the event page in the Members Only section. The audio and video will be posted next week after the webinar.
