A Diller, A Dollar, a Ten O’Clock Scholar

March 25, 2010

I *think* I’ve narrowed down the classes I want to take at the 2010 FABAIC.

Wednesday

Pre Class :  Lori Hurley “How to Make a Living as an Artist or Entertainer…Even in a Recession!”

Ok, I will admit that I wasn’t super thrilled with how Lori described her pre-class.  On the FABAIC website the description sounds a lot like advertising and not very much like a class write-up. 
I don’t like to be marketed “at”.

I have and looooooove her book by the same title and I just didn’t want the class to be a re-hashing of the same things over and over again.  The Kapital Kidvention taught me that family entertainers love to sell stuff to their fellow entertainers and no way in heck was I going to pay $150 to sit through 8 hours of sales pitches.

So what did I do?  I emailed Lori and then we had a telephone discussion about what the class is actually going to be on.  

And now I’ve plunked down $150 to go to her class. 

I’m expecting a one-on-one experience with her.  I need help with my phone skills and business organization.  And I’m totally willing to pay for that kind of help.
