How Does It Work?

Purchase your ticket. You will be emailed a link to a private web broadcast set for the time scheduled. Before the seminar you will be emailed a slide presentation. You can read it in advance, and use it to follow along on the live broadcast. During the broadcast there will be time allotted for questions and answers. Everyone signed up will be given the teleseminar number to call, and questions will be answered in order of call-in. 

What If I Can't Make The Time?

Got something the time of the live broadcast? The benefits of being virtual is flexibility. Everyone who signs up will be given a downloadable audio file of the live seminar once the seminar is complete. Have a question you still want answered even if you can't call in? Email it to us before the broadcast and we will answer it live. 

Tickets: Sold Out

On the left tell us your name, email address (a real one, because that's how we will send you the information you will need) and tell us what you are most interested in learning in the virtual seminar. 

​Once you submit the form, you will be taken to the order page where you will be able to purchase your ticket to the seminar.
