It’s one thing to pursue Purpose in your work and life, and Self-Employment…on your own. Doing it when you’re married, and even more so with children…adds a mountain of questions and complexities. I know. Through 20 years of marriage and 7 children, we’ve built multiple businesses. Some failed, some succeeded. We went $100,000 into debt, and we became debt free. We lived in a bank-repo modular home, and built an oversized, custom home in the mountains. We’ve public schooled, private schooled and homeschooled. We nearly killed our marriage…then resurrected it. You can check out some candid blogs and interviews here:

• She traveled to hell and back with me (blog)
• Marriage, Self-Employment and a Free Agent Anniversary (podcast)
• Self-Employment & Marriage (radio interview)

So if you’re a couple desiring successful free agency, or desiring more-successful free agency (you’re already in it!), let’s take all the questions and doubts and ideas and challenges and overwhelmedness…and get some clarity. Make a plan. Get real. We know nearly everything that DOESN’T work. And maybe not all, but a lot…of what does!

What you’ll get Lots of clarity Lots of belief Lots of understanding A truly memorable experience New friends (us) A map to see ahead A plan of action, short term and long term Realism

What you won’t get Hype Platitudes Pie in the sky crap Baseless encouragement Being told what you want to hear Formulas

I’m looking for two couples, on separate dates, to join me on an extended weekend. Here’s a 6-minute video overview, then more details below:

We’ve been offering coaching package to couples for many years, as they are my personal target market. Who I understand and connect with most. The majority of our members in Free Agent Academy are in their 30s to 50s, with kids. The core of the Coaching Package is taking the methodology of Free Agent Academy and drastically accelerate the depth and progress by working one-on-one.

However, it’s usually done remotely. Never before have we done the bulk of it face to face. So now, for the fee we’ve always charged for the coaching package itself, I’m inviting you to come out to Colorado and spend a few days with us, and including 6-Months of membership in Free Agent Academy, AND…a 4-Day/3 Night (option of a 4th night) stay in a cabin right next to the cabin I office in! Along with the coaching and retreat we’ll have time to commune and build a relationship as well.

Just so you don’t miss it, the cabin and membership is on us.

It’s a chance for a majestic mountain getaway and in-depth, accelerated ‘Free Agent’ Life & Business Coaching in one fell swoop. This is for you if any of these apply:

• You’re wanting more freedom in your lives than traditional employment allows,
• You’re needing to generate extra income on the side,
• You’re ready be proactive instead of reactive with your lives and get intentional toward where and who you want to be,
• You’re desiring to planning your work around your lifestyle values, instead of the other way around,
• One of you wants to pursue free agency and the other…has concerns. And you must be together on a plan!
• You have an idea you feel strongly about, but want to know if it’s viable, and how to pursue it without risking the farm,
• You already have a business, but you don’t have consistency, sustainability and ‘freedom’ yet. And want it!

Two Dates To Choose From (first come, first serve):
April 18-21, 2013 (Thursday to Sunday)
May 16-19, 2013 (Thursday to Sunday)

I have my office in a cabin (left side in the above pic) in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado, halfway up the pass between Colorado Springs and where I live in Woodland Park, CO. The cabin is owned by my buddy Scott Stearman, a renowned  sculptor of bronze memorials. Right across the stream from this cabin is his studio (pictured here to the right) where the magic happens!

20 feet to the right of my office cabin is a little red cabin (pictured on the right, behind the tree in the pic above). It’s a charming vacation rental, also owned by Scott. It all sits in a gorgeous valley at the base of Pikes Peak. The heart of the Rockies. Green Mountain Falls has more western history in it than a museum. It’s one of my favorite places in the world. I love running the streets past the pond and gazeebo, through the neighborhoods of eclectic, artsy mountain homes, and along the ridge where my favorite trail is…passing over multiple water falls. Here’s a few pics below, but type ‘Green Mountain Falls, CO’ into a search engine and you’ll see all the info and pics you want.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can bend your ear for hours on the activities and beauty that abounds here. It’s why I picked it from all places on Planet Earth to call home. But I’m going to jump to the details of this offer, as it’s an incredible deal and only open for two couples to take advantage of.

Following are 6-Sessions where we utilize the courses and curriculum of Free Agent Academy, customized for where you are and what you most need. Our goal is to take youfrom where you are today and accelerate you a year ahead in progress…over a few days.

Session 1: ‘Context and Aware & Able’

We have our first session via video using Skype or Google Hang Out. I’ll have some  initial info from you beforehand and this will be a chance to ask more questions and get a good pulse on your status. Then we’ll review our ‘Aware & Able’ group focal points and discern your greatest areas of need and attention.

Session 2: ‘Work & Biz’

Prior to coming out to Colorado, we’ll focus on the core ‘Work & Biz’ courses in Free Agent Academy, where you need to be focused and any additional resources needed. You’ll fall into one of these three areas:

1. You’re seeking an Idea to pursue,
2. You have an Idea that needs to be refined and built for launch,
3. You’re already in business and you need substantial growth

Session 3: ‘Free Agency in Marriage’

I grew up in a home where my Dad never worked for anyone else. And he went through a slew of businesses. Trials and Triumphs galore. It was a wild ride. Teri and I have been married 20 years and been through the best and worst of self-employment, financial duress, chaos, 7 kids, cross country moves and building a big, custom home. We’re experts in what NOT to do. And have a good bit to offer on what DOES work. So our focus will be on how you both view the positives and negatives of free agency and how to be in union.

This is Thursday when you arrive. You’ll check in to your cabin and relax till dinner. Then you’ll meet up with me and my Bride…Teri. We’ll treat you to a long, slow dinner, with one of two options:

1. At the Miller Homestead with our whole family – we love to host people. You’ll see our land and custom built home (straw bales!), meet our crew and experience full-fledged free agent lifestyle. We’ll banish the kids after dinner for time to talk more intimately.
2. Or at one of our quaint nearby Woodland Park restaurants, if you’d rather have a bit more peaceful experience. Our kids are awesome, but I know when we want a ‘retreat’ we aren’t looking to be with anyone’s kids…so we understand if you’d rather this option.

Session 4a: ‘Expert Counsel’

We have the privilege of proximity to some of the best ‘free agent’ minds I’ve ever met. Depending on my discerning of your greatest need, and the expert’s availability, we’ll spend a couple hours with one of the following men, who will have been briefed on you prior to our gathering:

• Gary Barkalow – Planet Earth’s premier guide in Personal Calling. Gary runs The Noble Heart and speaks to people around the world on Calling. He is a dear friend of mine and our Professor of Calling in Free Agent Academy.
• Scott and/or Hermine Stearman – As mentioned before, Scott is a very successful artist Scott Stearman who has taken a passion and turned it into a business. His wife Hermine recently left a long, lucrative career with Hewlett Packard to pursue her heart, get a counseling license and now has her own practice, Life In Transition Coaching and Counseling. It was a massive decision and she’s well versed in the transition from a ‘lifetime career’ to free agency.
• Justin Lukasavige – Justin left a ‘dream job’ as an airline pilot to be more available to his family. He started a financial coaching business from scratch, then developed a business coaching coaches, then onto launch CoachRadio.TV and today dabbles in these areas but has devoted the majority of his time to the Exodus Road ministry which saves young girls in southeast Asia out of sex slavery.

All of these amazing people are prolific free agents who’ve experienced the challenges and triumphs of free agency, and now guide others.

This happens at 9:30am on Friday

Session 4b: ‘Debrief’

This is a ‘light’ session following ‘Expert Counsel’. We’ll drive or walk over to the historic ‘Pantry’ in Green Mountain Falls for a long, slow lunch to discuss further. Depending on their schedule, our ‘expert’ may or may not join us.

Session 5: ‘Next Steps’

The best guidance in the world is useless if you don’t have a clear plan to leave and take action on. The culmination of discovering and discerning you and your desires, goals and convictions is then…what needs to happen now. We’ll give due attention to ‘risk drivers’ and any primary obstacles to you progressing right away. Our primary focus will then be on the next 90-days, with a view of the next 12-months.

This session can happen one of two times. Friday afternoon so you’re Saturday is completely free to rest and ruminate, or go explore what Colorado has to offer. OR…Saturday morning, 9:30am till lunch. Your choice.

Sunday

• Free morning. Sleep in. Stay in your jammies. Or go for a hike. Or drive off for an adventure. It’s your time.
• This is fly home day, or if you’d like to arrange to stay and extra night…we can talk.

Session 6: ‘Map & Action Steps’

We’ll reconvene at 30-Days out for a complete audit and discern primary needs and direction. Where do we need to shore things up or make revisions or additions? And again…next, immediate steps.

Unlimited email access to me is part of the deal for the entire duration of this package, so the in between time will not be devoid of us interacting.

FAQ

This isn’t a question, but a thread I’m hearing from most folks…what they want to know at the core is…’What’s this (free agency) really, truly…gonna take? Can we do it in the context of our lives or must we go through complete hell first?”

• Great question. We’ll hit the core of this for you and your specific life.

What exactly is the schedule?

• Immediately – Session 1: ‘Context and Aware & Able’
• Pre-Retreat – Session 2: ‘Work & Biz’
• Thursday – Session 3: ‘Free Agency in Marriage’
• Friday – Session 4a: ‘Expert Counsel’
• Friday – Session 4b: ‘Debrief’
• Fri/Sat – Session 5: ‘Next Steps’
• Post-Retreat – Session 6: ‘Map & Action Steps’

Is this only if you already have a business or an idea to build on and grow?

• We’ll definitely do that if it fits, but no…if you merely know you want free agency but feel clueless as to there to start and lack faith you can really do it…this is the place for you. I spent many years growing businesses, today I spend more time helping people begin the journey to free agency.

“What if we come out only to find…we aren’t ready to commit to free agency?”

• Great question. My answer is twofold:

1. You’ll have an incredibly valuable, life planning process and experience,
2. Better to get clear on that now instead of wasting a year or two and who knows how much money and heartache trying to make something happen, eh?

Is this just for us alone, or with another couple?

• The intent is for couples alone, just us and you. But the value of relationships and connecting with others is powerful. If you would desire to be with another couple, let me know. We’ll talk…and it could result in a lesser cost for you.

Overall couples have been excited at the prospect of getting the gnitty gritty on free agent life and the pursuit and reality…and insight into what will be most effective, efficient and viable for them.

Other Informative Details

*All meals other than those noted above are on your own. You can cook at the cabin or choose from many nearby restaurants, from Woodland Park to Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City, or even downtown Colorado Springs

Location: Green Mountain Falls, South Central, Colorado, USA (15 mintues from Colorado Springs)

Getting Here: I prefer flying into Colorado Springs (COS). It’s less than 30 minutes away and is a small airport where you never have to wait! You can usually get cheaper flights into Denver, but it’s 100 miles away. Your call.

Accommodations:  Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-6)

This is a simple mountain cabin located next to a beautiful year round mountain stream at the base of Pikes Peak. The road to the summit is only 2 miles to the east. There is a trail system within walking distance that traverses along the ridge overlooking town, complete with two waterfall crossings.

One mile up the road is the sleepy little village of Green Mountain Falls with it’s lake and gazebo. “The Pantry” restaurant is renowned for breakfast and lunch, and the “Blue Moose Tavern” is open nightly. For true fine dining, 1/2 mile from the cabin is the Black Bear Restaurant.

7 Miles up highway 24 is Woodland Park with all the conveniences you will need. Wal-Mart, restaurants, fast food, and shopping are just a few minutes away from the cabin. Pikes Peak , Garden of the gods, Seven Falls, and Cave of the Winds are all within a 10-15 minute drive from this sleepy little cabin.

5 miles back down Ute Pass is the little town of Manitou Springs. Taste the water from the mineral springs while gift shopping. The arcade and Patsy’s candy will offer something for everyone.

The little mining towns of Cripple Creek and Victor (where folks come from far and wide to gamble) are 45 minutes west. 11 mile canyon, out of Lake George is a nice drive along a mountain river with lots of places for a picnic.
