Sitting here looking over the most amazing vista just outside Denver. We have driven about 1700 miles so far (okay Richard has) and have had a really great time!
What has been so wonderful, just as we thought, are meeting people along the way for the documentary video. It is turning into much less "travel log" as the information, stories and motivation we are getting from those we have talked to is overwhelming. We met so far with: Chris Widener (www.chriswidener.com) Michael Clouse (www.nexera.com) Margie Aliprandi (www.margiealiprandi.com) Kody Bateman (www.sendoutcards.com) and Dr. TC North (www.courageandconfidence.com) and they each blew us away with their passion and inspiration. It was also gratifying to see how they were all impressed with our little project. (shamless plug)
So, we plug on. We are missing Courage the Cat but he is really being well taken care of. And, we miss the "easy" cup of coffee; you know without worrying about leaving your hotel room, dressed. Other than that, this is a fabulous adventure, the video pieces are amazing and we are off through Kansas today. Somewhere in Topeka I think... Signing off!

Go for No Tour Across America!
We are excited to announce that starting on May 13th we will climb into our vehicle and proceed to drive 10,000 miles across the country on a Go for No Tour Across America. (See below for the 10 reasons WHY we are doing this!)
Tour Dates: The Go for No!® Across America tour will officially begin in Portland, Oregon, on Wednesday, May 13, 2009 (our home town) and conclude with a tour "Wrap Party" on Saturday night, June 27, at the Nines Hotel in downtown Portland.
Speaking: We are speaking and appearing at private events and team meetings around the country.... check with us now to see if we can attend your event!
Reasons for the Tour: What reason could two people possibly have to climb in a vehicle and take a month and a half out of their lives to drive 10,000+ miles across America? Actually, we have TEN!
1) Celebrate the 100,000th copy of Go for No!® in print, including translation into French, Portuguese, Hindi and (coming soon) Spanish!
2) Introduce our new, Living Go for No!® online membership club
3) Launch of the Go for No!® Kids Foundation
4) Develop relationships with Key Influencers to help spread the Go for No!® message
5) Capture the Go for No!® Stories of highly successful people for a documentary-style video
6) To let meeting planners know we speak!
7) Speak at various events and team meetings.
8) Check a few new steakhouses off the list (if you've ever heard Rich & Andrea speak you know they're fanatics for GREAT steakhouse experiences!)*
9) In truth, Richard & Andrea love a good road trip… and this one is going to be a BLAST!
10) And, of course, to continue the mission of turning your greatest obstacle in to your greatest asset by reprogramming the way people think about failure, rejection, and hearing 'NO!'
Be sure to follow this blog as we post photos, video snipets, and stories about the tour!

GFN for Direct Selling Success
Being on twitter (follow me at www.twitter.com/goforno) has really led to meeting a lot of wonderful people especially in the world of direct selling where "Go for No!" had a fantastic impact.
I am really excited to be partner up with the Direct Sales Success Summit. Lisa, the event organizer, asked if Richard and I would be a part of her summit and of course we were thrilled to do it and be in such great company. The experts for this are amazing!
I was also stunned to discover that this summit is... Free! However, she only has enough space for 1000 lines and I have no doubt they'll be completely taken up. So, if you're interested in this amazing program, sign up now!

Happy Go for No! Day
It's March Fourth and that means it is the first annual Go for No! Day. So, how do you celebrate on Go for No! Day? And why would you want to?
It is our position that there is virtually nothing you can't achieve if you are willing to hear NO often enough. But most people have been taught and conditioned that "no" is bad. That if they hear "no" they have failed and they must be doing the wrong thing. And because of this, often they give up and quit.
Our goal is to create a mind-shift and teach people how to use "no" to their advantage. Because ironically, when you go out of your way to increase the number of No's you hear, the yeses will show up at your door in greater quantities than you could have imagined.
So, let's celebrate on Go for No! Day doing a few simple things...
1) Enhance your NO awareness by counting your no's. If you are not already, today is the day to count your No's! See how many you get. Make it for everything you do throughout the day. See what happens!
2) Set a NO GOAL! Set a goal for the number of NO's you are going to hear.
3) Reward yourself for the No's you've gotten all year. On March 4th get yourself a treat or do something you enjoy (Andrea's getting a pedicure!) and celebrate your courage and persistence.
4) Share and teach to others. Share the "go for no" philosophy with your friends, colleagues, team members, etc. Everyone can benefit from using this philosophy whether to grow their sales, build a team, get a job, raise money, and more!
5) If you have not read "Go for No!" the 80 page fable that teaches these lessons in a fun, easy read, get it today from www.goforno.com or on www.amazon.com.

Go for No Day
We have just decided that March 4th will be the official Go for No! Day. We like it because "go for no" is about persistence and nothing says persistence like March Forth! Get it? March 4th!
To celebrate Go for No! Day you should be especially mindful of collecting and counting your No's. And even more important, celebrating all of the failure, rejection and No's that you collected throughout the year!
We will be holding a special call to help you celebrate Go for No! Day and tap into the Power of No! Stay tuned.
After the day passes we will be submitting our celebration details to the organization that officially tracks all of these "special days" so that every year March 4th will be officially recognized as "go for no" day.
Now, we are assuming we'll have no trouble getting approved. It would be ironic if they turned us down and said, "No."
