Transformation vs. Transaction

Have you paid good money to attend a live seminar or workshop and all you got from it was a bunch of “shelf” help? You know, the kind of help that just sits on your shelf in the form of CDs, DVDs, flash drives, or binders? And after it sits there for a while NOT helping you, you end up throwing it away.

On the other hand, have you ever been to a live seminar that was truly transformational? Here’s a clue: these are the kinds of events where you actually DO something that causes a change in you. 

That’s what I want to talk to you about in this special BONUS EPISODE of the podcast. The difference between Transformational and Transactional live events.
