For The Interested - FTI #360: An invitation
My Skill Sessions are awesome, but they're about to get awesomer.
Because I'm adding a monthly "Jam Session" Q&A where members can join me on Zoom and get advice or feedback on their specific projects.
To celebrate this expansion of my Skill Sessions membership, I'm doing a couple things:
1. Each daily issue of my newsletter this week will feature an excerpt from a previous Skill Session.
2. I'm inviting you to attend my first Jam Session for free - even if you're not a Skill Session member yet!
The Jam Session will happen on May 17 at 11 am PST and you can use the link below to join at that time:
https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81660929935?pwd=OWJJeVRWbWtqMC9iMVJ3SzFYbVBnUT09
(Note: Space is limited so I recommend you show up on time or a couple minutes early.)
One more BIG thing:
This week is your last chance to become a Skill Sessions member for just $150.
That gets you access to all my Sessions for less than $6 per Session!
The membership price goes up to $197 on May 23rd, but if you join this week you get in at the lower price and can keep that rate for as long as you want!
Get immediate access to all my Skill Sessions here.
Now, on to this week's ideas...

My Final Words Of The Week
When considering whether or not to pursue something, I always "assume success."
What might happen if it works?
Most people ask themselves the opposite.
And that convinces them not to try at all.
Have an interesting week!
