Now make the plan to get there. You might find some other ideas you can use in the post on finding local sponsors from last week.

Merlene, thank you for sharing it! That’s exactly why I wrote it.

I was just advising a friend (and client) yesterday that she should start saving now for BWE in the fall. Needless to say I just forwarded this on to her. Thanks, Becky!

The title brought me here. “Sponsor Yourself!” Those two words are enough to elicit a cheer from me. Strange to say, though-such are the dynamics of “thought”- as I read this post my mind turned in the direction of finding other sponsors for my work of bringing my Mozart recordings into the environments and ears of more children. I just haven’t “gotten out there” enough. And although this is not exactly the same as creating a fund for sending myself to a conference, there are parallels- Woke me up, well, Wayne, if you are after getting such sponsors for your “Mozart Goes to School” as you had in California, you had best shake yourself loose and contact the same organizations here as you did there – speak to Rotary, Kiwanis, Mayors’ Breakfasts, and more-go into local businesses. Together with such sponsors we succeeded in placing a 5 CD Mozart set in each and every classroom in each and every public school in many cities in California. I am dragging butt on this here. Why? Well, I pretty much have to overcome some inertia!
Well, I got way off subject, but somehow not off track.
Thanks for the occasion to give myself a pep talk.
Wayne
