All I can say is WOW, wow, and more WOW!   (Photos courtesy of Debbie Lefever)

If you haven’t ever been to one of Mark Victor Hansen’s MEGA events, make plans to go sometime.  The one I was just at was in Los Angeles on February 27-March 1 but there is another one in Orlando, FL on June 5-7.   Even if you don’t think you’ll ever write a book, the speakers he has throughout the weekend talk about much more than just books and publishing.  There is so much information, you better take notes because you’ll never remember it all when you get home. 

I’ve never been to any event like this longer than a day so I wasn’t sure what to expect.   Some people might think three days of sitting in a conference room would be pretty tiring but even for a kid, it was pretty fun.   I met so many really nice people.  It was a great place for networking.   I never thought I could collect so many business cards in three days.

All kidsMe onstageOne of the most exciting parts was on Sunday.  Because I am one of the kids in Mark Victor Hansen’s new book, I got to speak onstage with Mark and the rest of the kids that were there.  It was so much fun, I can’t wait to do it again.

If that excitement wasn’t enough for this kid, I also was able to set up an exhibitor booth to sell my Pencil Bugs products.   I introduced my new Pencil Bugs greeting cards with three versions of birthday cards.   They went over really well and I sold a lot.  I’m working on plans to make them available online.

Since I have been working on my own business book, I was able to meet some very important people, one in particular that every writer hopes to get.  Sorry, that’s all I can say for now. :)    I’m still in that “it’s almost too good to believe” stage but it is for real.

I’ll update as things progress.

  2. Jason,

    WOW! This is mega cool ;-)

    Our National Spokesperson, Daniel Uribe of Lazer Bearings attended this event as well. And he said the networking was phenomenal. Per your recommendation I think I will try to get to the one in Orlando, FL in June.

    Fantastic job! You are so deserving of this and I can’t wait to see that completed book.

    Continued success and good fortune in both your personal and professional endeavors.

    XO
