Ask And Ye Shall Receive...
I published this on Facebook a few moments ago, so I apologize if you're seeing it twice...
This is hard for me to do, because I'm not very comfortable asking for this kind of help from people. But I'm doing it anyway, because this is something of great import to me. So here goes:
As most of you are aware, I am a Certified Hypnotist, and a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists. In order to maintain my certification, I, like many other professionals, have to have a certain number of Continuing Education credits every year. The NGH Annual Convention is coming up in just over a month, and is the *perfect* opportunity for me to get those credits AND learn from some of the best people in their fields. In particular, there are at least two or three two-day seminars either before or after the Convention that I am very keenly interested in attending (actually much more than the convention itself). One is a 4-day certification in Hypno-Birthing (which is actually what got me interested in hypnosis in the first place!), one is learning about Stage Hypnosis (which can be a very important part of a marketing strategy), and one is information on Marketing a successful hypnosis business (something I DESPERATELY need!!!). Not sure yet exactly which one(s) might still be available, but I should be able to find out tomorrow)...
Here's the hard part (for me). Being essentially out of work right now, I truly can't afford to attend even one of these seminars, or the convention, or the airfare to get there, or the hotel, etc... I don't *think* I know anybody able or willing to loan me that kind of money, either. But I hope I DO know LOTS of people who ARE able and willing to either A) lend me a small amount of money (anything from $1 up to whatever you're comfortable with), to be paid back as I am able (hopefully soon if I can start utilizing all I learn to create a successful hypnosis business), or B) purchase a generic pre-recorded hypnosis session or two (several subjects to choose from) for the modest sum of $5 for each subject or C) purchase a personalized recorded hypnosis session for the modest sum of $10 for each session or D) book a personal introductory 30-minute hypnosis session with me (for Central Texas folks) for the VERY modest sum of $20 (my regular fee is $75 per session, which lasts from an hour to an hour and a half).
I'm guessing that I'll probably need something close to $2000 to cover airfare, hotel and/or car rental (if I can, I'd like to stay with a friend in Boston, but will need to rent a car - if I can't stay with the friend, I'll need to get a hotel near the convention site), convention and seminar fees and food for a week.
So, friends and family, this is me, swallowing my pride and humbly holding out my metaphorical hat. If I can't / don't raise the necessary amount of money in time to participate in this particular training, I most certainly will utilize it for training as quickly as I possibly can (two of the two-day seminars I'm interested in are actually abbreviated versions of four-day seminars offered elsewhere by the same trainers for 3-4x the money - $1395 for the Stage Hypnosis training, $1221 for the Marketing training) and pay back every micro-loan in the order received as quickly as possible as well. If I miraculously receive MORE money than I need to cover my expenses for the week, I will immediately use the excess to start paying back loans in the order received.
Please send an email to: Tani@InnerPathwaysHypnosis.com with the following information (or with questions):
How much can you afford?
Is this a loan, or a purchase?
If a purchase, would you like a generic pre-recorded CD ($5), a personalized CD ($10) or a personal introductory hypnosis session ($20)?
I will respond with information on where to send the money and we will commence with arrangements to send you your recorded CD or when/where to meet for the personal session.
Thanks, everybody, in advance, for your faith in me!
