I'm a celebrity!

Ok not really.. but I did an interview for a radio station in Heber today. KPCW 91.9 FM should be running something on their station about the upcoming class I'm doing on November 5th. Britte (the interviewer) was great, asked good questions and I think it will be helpful in filling up the class.

I'm excited to be doing one in Heber, one of my favorite little valleys. Most people don't understand how many top sellers on eBay are from Rural America, so it will be a great opportunity to have more sellers on eBay for the holidays.

I'm still trying to find other areas to teach, I have some interest from Morgan county so we will see if that pans out. Everyone pray there is no snow in Parleys November 5th!

Heber City Class

I haven't been teaching too many classes, just some here and there for friends. However i went out to Heber City to talk to the Chamber of Commerce members, and will be doing a class there on October 29th. I'm excited to go, as Heber City is located in one of the prettiest valleys in Utah. Some day I'd love to live there, for now I will teach.
