Transform your business with Secrets from Silicon Valley.
This event is more than a year in the works, thousands of hours of work from some very talented people, and more than a few sleepless nights on my own part. We are opening our San Francisco based creativeLIVE studio TOMORROW and the very first broadcast is one you don’t want to miss. I’ll be hosting and it’s going to deliver a punch of insider, unprecedented information from some of the world’s smartest people.

This broadcast offers you direct access to the pioneering minds behind this powerful community. Whether your business is just you or employs fifty people, you’ll learn how to survive, grow, and thrive directly from entrepreneurs who have done it. Do you want to learn from LinkedIn’s founder Reid Hoffman and ask about his secrets to success? Tim Ferriss? Guy Kawasaki? Chris Guillebeau? You’ll hear from them and many more. I know I’ve learned a thing or two from these people I call friends, but knowing what I know about how valuable their secrets have been, I would have given a limb to be able to ask them questions years ago.

I make you money, teach you secrets of neurophysiology to be MORE motivated and I will give you rights and a sizeable percentage in my next BIG lucrative fun idea. It will be great to have the opportunity to chat about life over a cold enjoyable beer (or red wine, for me. :D) too. I assure you, I will keep up.
If you’re looking for a surprisingly intelligent “blonde” 24 year old serial entrepreneur, neuroscientist, musician, fitness buff, activist, author-to-be and John-Lennon/Jobs level dreamer, I’m the girl!! 😉
I am addicted to your work on productivity and outsourcing, Tim. I’m also collaborating on an e-book and I think you’d be very interested in the neurophysiology behind a lot of that…All about motivational drives and optimizing the brian and behaviour for limitless batman-like cognitive performance – batman brains, Tim – no kryptonite or tech needed. Very impressed and will be so grateful to meet a hardworking gentleman like yourself in person and share some secrets from my research you likely haven’t considered. The reason I am currently able to produce my first music EP, run a financial consulting practice, research cognition at a children’s hospital and “run” a nutrition business is partly because of “The 4 Hour Work Week.” I also owe you a thank you in person and maybe even a hug if you’re as nice as your exceptional online personal branding suggests… are you nice enough to give a girl a chance? 😉
I have confidence, acumen, and a great idea – I would love to share the profits with you and simultaneously leverage our mutual brilliance and mastermind potential. Trust me. This will be well worth your time – Do you want to leave a legacy? Are you willing to risk missing out on a universe-changing opportunity? Are you curious now? Let’s chat. 🙂
Hey Chase,
I live in San Francisco and wouldn’t dream of asking for one of the winning spaces to take away from someone who could experience the whole thing, travel and all. I mean, way to go. How cool is that?
At the same time, I’ve watched your career for a few years now and have always wanted to cross paths. As of late in addition to being a photographer, I’m a pro climber and adventure cyclist. I’ve also met Reid Hoffman and Chris Guillebeau(I’ll be at WDS again this year!) and would love the chance to say hello again. I’d also really like, literally, a few minutes to ask you how to make the most of the GoPro 3 I now carry when I ride, climb, surf, sail and fall down trying to operate as I am not paying attention to what I’m doing.
That said, I mostly just want to hang out and connect, take it all in and see what I can learn to pay forward and give back to the world. So, if there is room for a local who won’t need to deprive someone else of the full VIP treatment, I’d love to join in, learn and live tweet the goings on.
Best,
J
It is a long shot to be able to make it from Perth, Western Australia to San Francisco in time for this event but I would jump at the chance to attend an inspirational event such as this. I became aware of Creative Live earlier this year and have been inspired by Sue Bryce immensely. As soon as I met her via Creative Live, I connected with her and her way of working and have learnt so much already in my fledgling business as a photographer. I have had a passion for photography most of my life and when I came to a crossroad earlier this year, I decided to follow my passion for photography and allow myself to move away from what was expected and see where my passion could take me. I signed up for a local course and that has been a huge help, but there is so much more that I need to learn and do. Words cannot express how much I would really value learning from the creative entrepeneurs listed to present. It would be so wonderful to be able to get first hand, ideas and advice on how to take my fledgling business and make it successful.
I am not a quiter, I just signed on to twitter after working a 13 hour day, ( not my long term plan, NR is the plan). I commute 2.2 hours a day an was fortunate to find audible, and now listen to audio books during my commute. I found the 4 hour work week and am working on making it happen for me and my wife. I than found the 4 hour chef, which I actualal purchased via apple books. That’s right down 30 lbs since dec 26 and have maintained 179 for four months. Bottom line, I want to meet Tim, the person who made me look at the myself from a different direction, and now see I can travel the world with my love and experience it all.
I stated in the beginning I am not a quiter, 6 pm pst has past prior to signing in and seeing this opportunity. Persistence pas off, I want to meet Tim and enjoy enjoy the top creative minds in ten country. NR
I am applying to change my life.
I currently work as a bookkeeper at a small firm in my hometown in the Midwest. I have created a new venture with a close friend and we have been going strong for about three months.
This trip will provide the rock-solid inspiration and reinforcement I need to take the plunge and give my new venture my full time and talent.
I look forward to making the trip.
Thank you for the opportunity.
