More details:
This workshop will cover these topics: I'll cover the state of the industry right now. Why to specialize, alternatives to specializing (i.e. being a generalist. If you hurt your knee, you'd go to a knee specialist over a general doctor, right? You'd also expect him to charge you a premium. You are either a specialist or a generalist, you'll find out exactly what you are and what you can do to either change it, or play the game at a higher level (more peace, clarity, profit & purpose). We'll review some case study examples to make this crystal clear. Setting the right goals, and creating strategies and tactics to achieve them. This makes saying "no" easy and not stressful. Whatever tasks or opportunities you say yes to, will clearly move you closer to your goal and farther away from uncertainty and fear.
We'll also talk about being a performance artist vs. a product artist. Finally we will cover socratic selling, how to sell your specialization. Even if you don't have a niche, I'll show you how you can leverage yourself in your business more so than your images. We'll discuss how you can lead the sales consultations by getting them to share what they are passionate about within the first minute of the chat. That way you can decipher if they are a good fit for you. We will wrap up with Character Marketing, and how to use your personality to grow who you are as a businessperson.

Transit, Such Gold with Daytrader, Think Big
Event on 2012-05-10 17:30:00
Supporting Acts: Daytrader, Think Big
Transit
"I know you're good at keeping secrets. Well I'm better at wearing them out for the world to see." "Music is about connecting with people, and that's what we focus on more than anything else," says Transit's vocalist Joe Boynton. Hailing from north shore Boston, Transit is a band that expresses an arresting degree of honesty and individuality in their music. While clearly drawing inspiration from seminal groups such as Saves The Day, as well as the Northeast US pop-punk scenes that all five members grew up in, Transit has swiftly evolved into a group with a more alternative, indie rock sound. "We all grew up listening to a wide variety of music, but bands like Archers of Loaf, Braid, Osker and American Football demonstrated to us that there are always refreshing ways to create a new style and feel," explains guitarist Tim Landers. Illustrating Transit's artistic evolution from one release to the next, early descriptions of the group compared them to Taking Back Sunday and Brand New, and now, more recently, to bands like Death Cab For Cutie and Modest Mouse. The band's prolific output is also impressive by any measure, having put out seven releases over the last four years. Transit's highly acclaimed LP, "Keep This To Yourself", released in August 2010 on Run For Cover Records, inspired ABSOLUTEPUNK to rave: "Good luck keeping Transit's passionate and infectious tunes a secret. Once you hear the first chords of opener "Dear Anyone," you'll immediately go out and tell all your friends about the best pop-punk album of 2010." Transit also released an acoustic EP, "Something Left Behind" in February and a limited edition Record Store Day 7", "Promise Nothing", was released this past spring and sold out in advance. ALTERNATIVE PRESS, in a glowing review of "Promise Nothing", praised the band's meteoric creative growth, comparing them to Jimmy Eat World and Moneen. Named one of the "Bands To Watch in 2011" by ALTERNATIVE PRESS, Transit has played throughout North America and overseas alongside Four Year Strong, The Wonder Years, Less Than Jake, Bayside, Man Overboard, Senses Fail and many others. The band-whose members also include Torre Cioffi (guitars), PJ Jefferson (bass) and Daniel Frazier (drums)-has just finished tracking its first full-length on Rise Records, LISTEN & FORGIVE. The album, which ALTERNATIVE PRESS just named as one of the "Top 20 Must-Hear Fall 2011 Releases", is set to drop in the US and around the world in early October. To mark the release of LISTEN & FORGIVE, Transit will be touring this Fall around the US with Saves The Day, Bayside and I Am The Avalanche, before heading to the UK and Europe in December with Title Fight and Balance and Composure. From that point onwards, fans can expect to see the band touring extensively around the globe throughout 2012 and beyond.

Hendersonvill, TN (PRWEB) April 28, 2012
Brian D. Starr has written a work that is very appealing to those students or scholars of genealogies that date back to the Bible. In Knights, Romans, Greeks and God the bloodlines of the Christian world are explored as well as the interrelationships that date back to the Egyptians. Most Christians would consider the topic important because written history has been so hard to preserve, gather and collate. Sources have not been reliable and families who have authentic documents have not been forthcoming in volunteering information because Christianity has been too mired in violent struggles and what the author calls ?other factors.?
The Bible, first, last, and always is the source of all knowledge and wisdom for Christian people for the axial age ? the age when various (and contending) world religions rose out of pre-history. Foremost among these religions is Judaism (arguably the first religion to worship one God). Starr?s work explores elements in Judaism such as the lineage of the Kings of Judah, Mary Magdalene?s descendants and such and has traced lineages right into the middle ages (when records were more reliable and families can trust to trace their roots with more accuracy).
The revenants of the Western world?s founding families have had much scholarship dedicated to it. The forces of history have not been kind to those who have claims to being principals and Starr takes careful note that whatever secrets he has divulged in this work are those which have had supporting documentation in other author?s works. The author?s thesis, though, is original and should be acknowledged by the academe as a source book.
This book will be featured at the 2012 Bologna Book Fair in Bologna, Italy, on March 19-22, 2012 and the 2012 Taipei International Book Exhibition in Taipei, Taiwan on February 1-6, 2012.
