Intensive — Use Artificial Intelligence
to Dramatically Streamline Your Efforts
AI is all the rage. It can be an incredibly useful tool to advance your business, but there are pitfalls that can get you in trouble. It can help you outline an article or book, write a video script or sales letter, and myriad other tasks. But using it to write a book may get all your work banned from Amazon.
How can you use this tool ethically, legally, and productively? These three webcast recordings give you ideas you likely haven’t thought of.

Travel Tips
Gather travel info incognito — Milo Shapiro
When searching for flight, hotel, and car rental prices, go on an incognito/private window of your browser and don’t log in (if you have an account) unless you’re sure you’ll buy immediately. Sites track if you’ve been there before and raise prices on your return, to create an urgency that you already missed a better price and better jump on it before they go up again. Sneaky, but smart of them, so incognito doesn’t tip them off that you’ve been there before.

Best Practices to Expand
Your Business Internationally (webcast)
with Martin Laschkolnig
You’d love to speak beyond your borders, but how do you do that? What business models work and which ones are a bust? How do you make connections, determine price, and perhaps modify your usual processes?
Would you like to know the best practices for international speaking, gleaned from numerous speakers? If so, Martin will share what he’s learned from his own international speaking business, as well as what he’s learned from others. He’s spoken on 4 continents (yes, also for a fee <g>), and he was President of the Global Speakers Federation, so he’s had many conversations about what works for other successful international speakers.
You will learn:
- what you need to know before considering expanding internationally
- how to avoid mistakes Martin and others have made
- not-obvious best practices for speaking globally
Note: Everyone who registers for the live webcast session or orders the recording will get a link to the recorded video of the online webcast, as well as the audio MP3 for convenient re-listening.
