Why laugh?
In the 1960's, renowned journalist Norman Cousins cured himself of a painful, diagnosed-terminal disease by locking himself into a hotel room and watching a steady supply of funny movies and TV shows. His acclaimed book Anatomy of an Illness told the tale of his recovery and led to extensive medical research.

Some of the documented Benefits of Laughter include:
- Relieves Stress
- Reduces anxiety, fear, depression
- Enhances the immune system
- Improves respiratory and cardiovascular systems
- Relieves pain
- Improves sleep patterns
- Benefits digestion and elimination systems
- Encourages relaxation
- Boosts self-confidence, promotes compassion, deepens creatitivty

It is said that children may laugh 300 to 400 times in a day, yet most adults are lucky if we laugh 15 times - in a good day. (Can you remember the last time you laughed 300, or even 200, times in one day?) When we practice intentional laughter, not only do we reduce our general stress level, we also actually develop our sense of humor. We are more likely to fine things amusing and are able to see the lighter, brighter side of life.

"Laughter does not solve you problems, but it can help dissolve you problems." -- Dr. Kataria

When we laugh, even for no reason, many of the damaging effects of stress are neutralized and we return to a state of balance and peace. Thanks to the discovery and development of Laughter Yoga, you need never be "stressed out" again.

By now you've heard of using Social Media, Pay Per Click Advertising, Videos, Article Marketing, Blogs and so much more that if you are like most people your head may be spinning with trying to keep up with all of it. Or even worse, perhaps you've just given up and you're letting the competition get so far ahead of you it will be tough to compete. Did you know that you can get multiple first page placements on Google with overnight results?

Our promise is "Making Internet Marketing Easy".

There are items that you could implement into your current marketing today that will get you on page one of Google tomorrow. So here are a couple of tips to start with.

1) Pay per click (PPC) ad campaigns can be very effective if you know what you're doing. If you don't you could be throwing money away. Do you know what it costs? Do you know how to do it well?
2) Video marketing can range from free to a fraction of the cost of PPC. Are you aware of the fact that your videos often stay on page one of Google searches in the organic results even after your PPC campaigns disappear?
3) Social Media can be automated to keep you consistently showing up with top Google search rankings instead of not being there at all. Doing so allows you to reap the rewards.
4) How important would it be for you to mingle with experts in this field and network with other small business and engaging in some mastermind discussions of what you can do to improve your success online?

Testimonials:
"I've been ranked #1 for my main key phrase in Google for months! In addition to thousands of dollars of new business, the free traffic has saved me more than $24,000 in Adwords costs."- John Gomez

"I got 30,000 visits, a ton of residual traffic and $12,000 in new business—just in the first 13 days."- Len Foley

These are just a couple of examples of why I wanted to be sure you new about this introductory class on Tuesday.

2010 Pageant of the Masters 
Where Art Comes To Life!

July 7 - August 31, 2010, Gala Benefit Saturday, August 28, 2010

Each night during the summer season at 8:30 the Festival of Arts presents its most famous attraction; the Pageant of the Masters.

What is it?

Ninety minutes of "living pictures" - incredibly faithful art re-creations of classical and contemporary works with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces. An outdoor amphitheater, professional orchestra, original score, live narration, intricate sets, sophisticated lighting, expert staff, and hundreds of dedicated volunteers have won recognition for the Pageant as the best presentation of its kind.

MISSION STATEMENT: 
Our mission is to promote, produce, and sponsor events and activities that encourage the appreciation, study and performance of the arts.

The 2010 Pageant of the Masters Theme is: 
Eat, Drink and Be Merry

Some of the most glorious art ever created has eloquently expressed the singular joys of being alive. The 2010 Pageant of the Masters will devote its uniquely theatrical celebration of the art of "living pictures" to a jubilant exploration of our collective capacity for seizing the moment, letting our hair down and raising a heartfelt toast to the good life. From Bacchus to Bourbon Street, from the elegant fetes of 17th century Europe to the flappers of the Jazz Age, Eat, Drink and Be Merry will savor the timeless masterpieces that have captured and enhanced the exhilaration of good times and, even more remarkably, buoyed spirits when times were hard. With its surefire recipe for theatrical fun and unforgettable "living art," the 2010 Pageant promises a memorable feast for the senses.

Do you attend networking events to sell your product? OR Do you attend networking events looking for ‘Links’ to align yourself with and tap into their database of thousands of potential clients?

If you said the first, then you are WRONG!  The fact is almost everyone goes to networking meetings with the intent to SELL their product and they wonder why they have very minimal success.  Because it’s NOT ABOUT your product!  It’s about aligning yourself with very powerful people!

Networking correctly is a key factor for your success.  The goal is to find and establish genuine referral relationships with 10-12 Links in your personal and professional life.  By building these powerful working relationships with other leaders in their field, then you will become a Link and a center of influence that others will look to for leadership and guidance.

‘The Link system’ is an actual sixteen hour curriculum and Kecia Wimmer is offering to teach everyone two hours of the curriculum for FREE.  She is one of only 5 instructors in the country granted approval to teach this extremely Powerful Networking System.

Learning how to network effectively can skyrocket your career and put you on the fast track to becoming an Executive Link and a leader in your field.

Success is eminent for anyone willing to embrace and implement these necessary networking skills.

You do not want to miss this VERY NECESSARY workshop.

Please RSVP ASAP! Seating is Limited to the first 30.
