Leap, and the net will appear. -- Julie Cameron

Note: I was blown away by the response to this post earlier this week. I guess it’s really worth it to put yourself out there. This is a follow-up to that post.

Ok...so I'm getting a LOT of texts, emails and comments from YOU after leaving you with a bit of a cliffhanger in my previous post.  

Sorry about that.  Perhaps it was all the soap operas I watched as a kid with my grandmother.  Do you remember Another World??? :-)

When we last left off we were discussing the economy and the fear of the unknown.  It is these two things that have sparked the "fire in the belly" for me and the possibility of me doing something that could be really big and significant.

When we first started Evolving Solutions 11 years ago...I never in a million years DREAMED I'd have the opportunity to have the impact I've had.

I've been blessed to have helped hundreds of businesses and entrepreneurs navigate their way through the web and/or even navigate their way through entrepreneurship to transform their life and biz.

I am forever grateful for all the tremendous support via email, letters. gifts, hugs (Remember I am the Chief Love Officer) :-) you've sent over the years.

The people that I have had the pleasure to interact with have changed my life in a lot of ways.

Of all the things that we’ve taken on with Evolving Solutions, we’ve never approached doing something at this level before. 

But there’s one thing that people have been asking me for for a long time.

For whatever reason, I’ve resisted. I thought it would be too difficult. I didn’t think I’d have enough time. I thought that I needed more preparation. And I’m realizing now that these were limiting beliefs and excuses.

What Is Behind Door Number 1?  (revealing what I've been hinting at)

Remember the Bricklin Saint Johners???

Any Lets Make A Deal or Bricklin fans out there?  No I am not launching the Bricklin again.  I digress. :-)

So here is what I have been holding out on for years...

I've been:

• Nicely asked
• Strongly encouraged
• Begged
• Pleaded with...  Well maybe not pleaded with or begged.  Just makes me feel more important. :-)

To share the accumulation of what I have learned over the last 11 years (and to share and teach the art of building a lifestyle business in the Maritimes using my techniques)

For YEARS I've resisted teaching this stuff.

Why did I?  I guess it was for selfish reasons.  I wondered that if sharing these techniques would actually HURT our Evolving Solutions business and result in fewer customers.  

I also wondered if I was even capable of teaching everything I'd learned in over 11 years of doing this.  (Now, I'm realizing just how small this kind of thinking was).

Regardless of all the hesitations, worries, and how much work this will be, I’m seriously considering opening Door Number 1 and showing you just about everything I know about running a lifestyle business here in the Maritimes and how we have done it at Evolving Solutions.

(I gotta say, this would of been extremely HELPFUL to have had this training 11 years ago when we were just getting started).

Doing this will allow you to borrow my brain.  Well not literally.   Probably wouldn't want that anyway. :-)

And if I do create this, it will likely be the first of it's kind in the Maritimes.

What will this include Chris?

• How to set up, start and build a business around that idea you have always had.  I will even help you find that idea.
• How you can dramitically increase profits with an existing business...while sleeping.
• Shift from "being busy" to doing real valuable work to grow your profits.
• Learn how to build a business in your hometown and never have to leave to chase the almighty dollar.
• And some other awesome things that I can’t share right now (I can’t give everything away too soon!).

The purpose will be to create a community of new entrepreneurs or a new type of entrepreneur here in the Maritimes.  Lets take this recession head on!

AND if you are not from the Maritimes, you can still participate.  Maybe we can get you to move here. :-)

You'll also get an inside look at how we run Evolving Solutions and how I live on my own terms.

Still Scared As All Heck (I need your help)

Now that I have shared with you the idea, it still scares the heck out of me.  So again, I need your help on this one.

I really only want to do this if there's enough interest.

So, I really want to know:

• Is this something you’d be interested in?
• Should I really do this?
• What do you think?

Your feedback and thoughts are absolutely the fuel that keeps me going.  

If you have a second, I would really appreciate your input. Leave a comment as simple as “Yes, do it!” or “No, you’re insane!” and let me know what you think.

It would mean a lot to me, and I'll respond to each and every comment.
