Thursday morning, bright and early, I’ll be getting on the first of a series of trains, taking me to Minneapolis (and back, of course). I’m headed there to give my New Treatments for PMS (Panic Marketing Syndrome) presentation to the ASMP-MSP chapter, and to do individual consultations, of course.
One of the great things about taking the train is also one of the drawbacks–no internet. So, my postings will be few and far between, while I’m out of town. In fact, there are places where cell phones don’t even work. But the trade-offs are worth it.
There is something about slowing down, about watching the scenery pass, and about talking with people who have nothing more in common with you than being on a train, that gets the little grey cells moving. I find I get some of my best ideas while traveling via train.
And, at the very least, there is no body cavity search required before boarding.
So, if you’re in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, come see me on the 23rd (and why not book a consultation for the 24th–call me at 619.961.5882 for that). For the rest of you, why not take some time for yourself and have a nice think. Maybe you’ll come up with a great promo idea or figure out a new creative project to pursue that’ll change your life.
You should definitely come to Europe : in long distance trains, you’ve got internet connections ! Have a nice and safe trip. Cheers.
