VIP Day is back! Reimagined, tested, and perfected as VIP Friday.
Here's what happened (I sound just like Adrian Monk, don't I?):
My VIP Days in the fall of 2019 were successful for those who attended. Just look at this feedback from Premium DIYer Mary Wilson:
And this from Premium DIYer Holly Stokes:
Sadly, the VIP Days were exhausting for me. And a little confusing for some folks. So I wondered if a slight change in format would give as good or better results. Maybe instead of one long 6-hour meeting (I know!), four calls with 5-minute laser sessions. 🤔
I tested the idea by adding "double dipping" to Monday Action Calls. Premium members get to attend a second Action Call for a "double dip" of support. 🍦
The double dip has been a roaring success! How do I know? By the participation and the feedback from members who rave about how great it is to come back for seconds. 👏
Introducing the NEW VIP Friday
Testing complete, I am thrilled to introduce this new service to the monthly DIY schedule. The new VIP Friday is a mash-up of the old VIP Day and the new Action Call format. How cool is that? A member-tested and proven format for getting stuff DONE!
What is VIP Friday?
It is a collaborative, shared experience of individual focus, accountability and productivity. Orangized in four 90-minute segments. On a Friday.
What does VIP stand for?
VIP = Virtual Immediate Progress
Virtual = electronically connected, by phone or computer
Immediate = occurring or done at once; instant, i.e. in this moment
Progress = forward or onward movement toward a goal or destination
What else do you need to know?
VIP Friday is a DIY member exclusive. Costs under $100. Delivers HUGE value.
When is the first one?
The first new VIP Friday is on April 23rd. If immediate progress is on your agenda, this VIP Friday is your chance to make it happen. You'll get the time, the space, the accountability, and the support to finally get it done. Whatever "it" is!
Take a look at the whole agenda to see if this is for you: 👇 👀
VIP Friday [Friday, April 23, 2021] Zoom | 8:30 AM Pacific · 10:30 AM Central · 11:30 AM Eastern | DIY members only | Registration required | Member info link: VIP Friday
The final Action Calls of first quarter/March happen on Monday. That's correct, there are no Action Calls on March 29th, but there ARE two Action Calls this week on the 22nd.
In related news, I am taking some vacation time to move into my new home at the end of the month. Things will be pretty quiet around here for a week or so. But I will be back in April with some new ideas (one in particular that you are going to LOVE!).
Sorry/not sorry about the tease! 😏
Keep your eyes peeled for some very cool new stuff here at the DIY. You know me; I can't resist letting you know something's coming soon!

Good news! The new Q2 DIY member calendar is now posted! It is a one-page-at-a-glance, color-coded for your convenience calendar. Cool, huh?
You'll probably want to print it out and stick on your bulletin board in your office. Or tuck it into the front pocket of your marketing binder (which is what I do).
Wherever you like to put it, your Q2 calendar is ready for you now. Download it on the Members Only page in the membersite.
The Super Secret News: The Next Marketing Machine Workshop!
If you peek at the calendar, you'll notice that another P&P Marketing Machine Workshop happens in May. YES!
That's right, we're going to do it again! Because for many members, six weeks was too fast to get their blueprints finished. Or the dates conflicted with other obligations. Or whatever.
One new thing, though. This upcoming workshop will be for members only. And it will not be streamed in the FB group (sorry!). It's back to Zoom for this, baby.
So if you didn't finish your blueprint during this last round, you're in luck! You can go through the process again, fill in the blanks, and get this thing done. Yay!
In the meantime, you'll find all the video replays, exercises, slides, and transcripts from the series we just finished right here: Marketing Machine Workshop
