Moving update and a fun marketing seminar. Gair Maxwell

I'm up to my ears in boxes as I move from the apartment to my new house.  I did take time today to attend a fantastic marketing boot camp hosted by Gair Maxwell who teaches at Wizard Academy in Austin Texas.

I'll post more on this awesome day later.. I've gotta get this stuff out of here.

Here's Gair's book if you're interested in how storytelling is the key to marketing success.

Also, I've collected lots of great information on how I'm going to be revamping the blog and YouTube channel, stay tuned.

I love getting a good deal. My story of 'auction week.'

Sold! to #53!

Well, if you follow my blog you'll know that I'm getting my new house today.  One of my problems is that I don't have enough furnishings to fill it.  Seriously, I don't believe in clutter so I don't own a lot of stuff.  I think I'm probably half-way to being a full fledged minimalist.

This lack of furnishings poses a problem though since the new house has more rooms.  I actually need some things to be able to use all of the rooms.  Also, there's the whole problem of the yard and household maintenance items.

I need stuff for gardening, repairs and maintenance, etc.  Some of my tools are still at my ex-wife's garage and I can move them over but I do need things like shovels, weed trimmers, lawn mower, etc.

And you know... I'm very thrifty.  I don't like to spend money.

This week I've been going to some of the regular auctions here in town.

On Tuesday, I went to one auction and got the following bargains:
1. Electric lawn mower.. works great, needed to have the blade sharpened. $27.50.
2. Camera tripod.. like new. This will come in handy for filming YouTube videos.  $5
3. Plush rocking horse.. like new. This will be my Xmas shopping for my 2 year old niece. $12

Sunday I went to another estate auction and got a few other items:
1. Set of three white boards (for the new office or opportunity lab) $10.
2. Digital picture frame. $5.
3. Awesome blue armchair for reading! This will 'make' the new living room. $10.

I do love a deal.. I'll be hitting the garage sales next week with the kids because my son will need a dresser and my daughter needs a bed.

Cheers.
