Hi Elton!
First of all I congratulate you on the steps you have taken so far - Way to go!
Secondly, I heartily agree with what Anthony has said.
Turn down the noise & listen to what YOU feel suits you. Not what the others in your life seem to think is the right thing for you at this stage of the game. (If I had done that I'd still be working for the French Government!....looooong story)
That said: I think that going to VOICE would be a great kick-start for you. You'll get to meet a bunch of great (and crazy!  people INCLUDING by the way James!...so with VOICE - it seems to me - you'll be getting the best of all worlds.
But again, that's MY noise! (Yes, I'll be in Vegas in March!)
So, I hope that you attract the right vibe....and maybe we'll meet in LV! (I'll be the one dressed as the sponge soaking in all the great info!
Liz

I posed this same question to James Alburger and he has given me permission to post his reply.
| Quote: | Our AOVA Telecourse and the VOICE 2007 Las Vegas conference serve
completely different purposes. Our Telecourse is an introductory
course and covers only our specific material. The total
"classroom" time amounts to roughly 10-12 hours total. The Las
Vegas VOICE 2007 event is intended to provide a much broader
foundation and will run for 4 full 8-hour days!
As much as Penny and I would love to have you join us on our
Telecourse, I believe you will receive a much broader, and
ultimately more productive education by attending VOICE 2007.

Nicely stated Anthony. Turning down the noise, whether it be external or the more difficult internal kind, to follow your dream can be very difficult. But if you don't before you know it, years will have passed and you'll be in the same place. I just need to take my own advice! I'm looking forward to VOICE to turn down my own noise and get me on track.

These quotes are from the book The Tao of Warren Buffett and they seemed appropriate:
My idea of a group decision is to look in the mirror.
A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.
No matter how great the talent or effort, some things just take time: You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.
and I simply liked this one:
Never ask a barber if you need a haircut. |

Well my decision was made for me today.
Broken water line water bill $1,300.00
Repair of water line $600.00
Invented swear words PRICELESS
Thanks to the third suggestion by Frank, all is not lost. I will take his advice and practice, practice, practice as well as work on motivational audio for my brother-in-law.
I had decided to find a way to make it to VOICE. If for no other reason than to meet some of the outstanding talent from this board. Thanks to all for your input and support.
