Come to EduCamp at Stanford University with me! A bunch of educators, both the hoary oldschool types who remember chalkboards and wooden pencils like me and a bunch of the younger high tech variety are gathering to conference over our ideas.

Towards that end I’d like to invite you to join me at StanfordUniversity September 16 – 17 for Educamp, where I am giving a presentation on Successful Leadership in Online Learning Environments: Tips & Tools of the Virtual University.

First of all, if you’re in a private practice service business (Coaches, therapists, acupuncturists, chiropracters, etc.) and you’ve not got enough clients, are not getting enough profits or just flat need help to construct, market, take advantage of technology for your business and get off the rat-wheel, you’re going to want into Betsy’s and my :

Tao of Ka-Ching! Private Practice Business Maximizer Program

We’re going to teach you not only how to get clients, but how to monetize that business of yours out the wazoo in ways you never heard of, but work well and are in many cases, cheap to free. And take a load off your feet, head and bottom, by getting the stress out and having your personal development path work FOR you, as a business Builder. (oo, intrigued yet?)

Get yourself on over to: http://taokaching.com and sign up for our FREE eCourse: "The Seven DEADLY MISTAKES Service Professionals Make in Business (And How To Avoid Them)" This is a completely free, no-obligation course delivered through email and it will point up some stuff I bet you haven’t thought about that’s leeching money, time and sanity out of your business like crazy. We’ll teach you a little bit about how to plug those leaks in the eCourse and much more in the Program.

Go ahead and sign up right now.  No risk, we promise!  Go on, I’ll wait….

Back? Excellent! Don’t forget to check your email and click through on the "opt-in" email you’ll get from me. Then the lessons will start flying into your box!

Second, click on the "Experts" link at http://taokaching.com and see just a few of the private practice marketing bigwigs we’ll be bringing in to teach you their special areas of expertise. There’s Lynnea on making a tight Business Plan, Suzanne on building your Expert Platform, Andy on the new cheap-to-free Technologies to Build your Business, Kim on allowing Abundance, Krishna on building your unique personal Brand, Wayne talking about On Air Publicity and more, much more….!

Third, ENROLL NOW because on January 20th the price goes up quite a bit. We’re  throwing an introductory price for the WHOLE 90 -day extravaganza that is so low we ought to have our heads examined…but we wanted to make it easy for the most people to attend. Again, that would all be at:

http://taokaching.com 

Fourth…can’t take the class on Mondays at 9am Pacific / 12noon Eastern Feb – April??? That’s okay, sign up anyway! We have several people from the darkside of the planet taking the class by listening to the class audios in our state-of-the-art eCampus in their daytime, while we’re snoozing away. They’ll be posting to our class forums like maniacs and we’ll all keep in touch that way.

While we’d love to have you BE in class, this isn’t a certification, so the only thing you have to be there for in person is your mastermind group. This  you’ll arrange times for on your own, and hence can work around your own schedule. It becomes this incredibly supportive, tight-knit little community
that is all geared towards making YOUR business a complete
success..while you do the same for others.

(Oh yeah, you’ll increase your network exponentially in this Program)

Fifth…what? You’re still here? Get your booty on over to http://taokaching.com and sign up for that FREE eCourse! And think real hard about cashing in on our drastically low introductory enrollment. Once January 20th hits the decks, it’ll be gone forever.

Get going! I’m looking forward to helping YOU maximize your service business’s potential in February!

Tim Rieker, a ZPoint energy therapy practitioner, has made his wonderful online database of ZPoint statements available to all practitioners, free of charge. The site doesn’t teach ZPoint, you can learn that from the creator, Grant Connolly here. Rieker’s database collates, stores and disburses various different kinds of ZPoint statements through a slick interface that even allows you to email yourself a pre-defined set to practice on. Sign up, log in and you can even post your own statements that you’ve found helpful.

You can set parameters by clearing statement, psychological reversal, affirmation, installation, decision, fill-in-the-blanks and other parameters. Also in the works is a module that will allow you to track your progress. What a wonderful resource. Thanks, Tim!

In the wake of my comment spammer of last week, I had a lot of sympathetic email from beginning bloggers who have suffered spam comments at their blogs. I also found Adam Kelsey’s "Comment Spam Manifesto" and agree with it (click the link and consider putting its principles to work on your blog). To quote:

"…spammers have turned their attention to weblogs and comment forms. In order to increase search engine rankings you are posting advertisements to our Web pages. What you failed to understand is that bloggers are smarter, better connected, and more technologically savvy than the average email user. We control the medium that you are now attempting to exploit. You’ve picked a fight with us and it’s a fight you cannot win.

We have complained amongst ourselves, tried technological solutions, and tried to understand the nature of comment spam. And we are done. We now intend to fight back. Spammers are hereby put on notice. Your comments are not welcome. If the purpose behind your comment is to advertise yourself, your Web site, or a product that you are affiliated with, that comment is spam and will not be tolerated."

Well said, Adam.  If you have also been a victim of comment spam and don’t know what to do about it, continue reading this post to find out what comment spam is and precisely how to combat it…
