A day with me & my duck doing mad hot biggification.

What it is:
A ridiculously tiny, cozy, intimate, exclusive all-day workshop in Sacramento, California.
We’ll spend the entire morning working on biggifying you.
The afternoon is for the epiphanies. Of the hot, buttered variety, of course.
The when:
Friday, December 3rd, 2010.
8:30 –11:30 am: we’re working on biggification strategies, right people, and whatever else you need to work on.
1:00 –4:00 pm: let the wild brain-zapping rumpus begin! You get comped into my three hour Shiva Nata destuckification-and-hot-buttered-epiphanies workshop.
Who gets to come:
I don’t know. Maybe just you.
Up to three people. No more than that. With the option of getting to do it by yourself.
And if you’re one of my people, you know that when Selma and I do a thing, you can expect big, crazy fabulous results. The destuckification: it will be outrageously great.
Where we’ll be:
In downtown Sacramento. In walking distance from the afternoon Shiva Nata workshop (included).
At a restaurant or a cafe or something else. I will wait to see who you are and then decide based on what feels right.
You will want to bring writing utensils, notebooks, possibly laptop if you want to show me stuff that’s not online.

What else.
Breakfast is included. I don’t know where I’m having lunch or dinner yet, but if you want to join me and Selma, and chat some more? You’re completely welcome to. Whee! Hang out time!
Accommodations.
We have a list of nearby hotels and B&Bs. You can share a place with other participants from the Shiva Nata workshop.
You’ll get a link and password to our resources page and the private travel arrangements page when you sign up. We’ll help each other make plans.

What you get. In “the hard”.
As in … literally. In real life.
- At least six hours of genius brain-zapping fabulousness over the course of one transformational day
- Time with me and Selma (you are welcome to come have lunch with us … and we could have a chat over dinner as well).
- The opportunity, should you want it, for an extra hour of coaching with me by phone at half price.*
- Breakfast. On me. But not literally on me. Next to me. Selma and I are buying.
* If you do this, which you totally don’t have to, your session will be scheduled within the next six months.
What you get. In “the soft”.
In other words: in your heart and in your body and in your head.
That is, aside from the actual “spending a whole day destuckifying and biggifying it up with me and Selma” part…
- You will leave feeling seriously hopeful. Like, this is possible and I’m doing the right thing.
- You will leave with pages of scribbled genius ideas, and both the desire and the ability to go ahead and do something with them.
- You’ll get brain-zapping goodness and at least a couple epiphanies.
- You’ll leave with the confidence that you can grow the thing you do — without having to do anything icky. Or even to do stuff the way everyone says you’re “supposed to”.
- We will laugh. Probably a lot.

The short version:
The extremely unlikely opportunity to spend a cozy, intimate day with me and Selma, and figure out the next step to biggifying your thing.
And then make it happen.
Genius ideas in the morning, epiphanies in the afternoon.
Yummy breakfast and general hilarity included.
What this will cost.
Option 1: private coaching
If you are quick enough to snap this up for just you because you’d like three hours with me working on your business with no distractions: $875.
Given that an hour of my time is currently six hundred dollars, and sessions are booked four months in advance, I’m not going to finish this sentence.
But I will say that THIS is a highly unusual thing that I am experimenting with, and I probably will not do it again, and you will get so much more than what you’re paying for, and it is a very smart thing to jump on if you can.
Otherwise? Option 2. Grab a friend.
Or two friends. Share the time with him. Or her. Or them.
If it’s two of you, you each pay $550. I will work with both of you together. Your thing and your friend’s thing do not need to have issues in common. It will still work. And it will be brilliant. And great fun.
If it’s three of you: group coaching style. You each pay $295. We’ll get crazy amounts of work done in our three hours together. Everyone will get help with their stuff. Sparks and sparkliness.
If you don’t have someone who will do it with you, tell the First Mate that you would be into one of these (doing this with one other person OR with two other people), and hope that someone else will do the same.
If they don’t and this doesn’t work out, you will not have to pay anything, obviously.
How payment works.
- You send the First Mate an email saying which option you want (richard at fluentself.com). Only do this if you are planning on coming if this option is available. He will say right on.
- You will get an actual response (not just a thanks – got it response) from the First Mate within three days. If I have questions, you’ll know.
- If you’re in, you’ll be sent an invoice by paypal. The doorway for payment is 24 hours — after that we’ll have to offer the spot to the next person who wants it.
- There will be dancing and rejoicing. Possibly imaginary champagne. And we’ll send you the information you need so you can start preparing.
Yay.

What happens now.
It’s time to get excited. To start thinking about what you want to biggify and how. To make lists of monsters, if your monsters are needing attention.
To breathe. To jump up and down.
Stuff like that.
And if you are applying, tell the First Mate right now which option you want (and the names of the people who will be doing this with you if you want to do it with other people and you know who they are).
I cannot wait to meet you if this is you. Or to do all things shivanautical with you if you’re coming to the workshop instead. Or to meet you later if it doesn’t work out this time.
Either way, I like you. That is all.
