One Secret to Creativity

If you want to grow your bank account, you have to grow your brain. I think anyone can afford to buy a great business book to inspire you to develop new systems to grow your business. If not, go to your local library and check them out.

But one of the best ways to grow you mind, ignite your spirit, and really get yourself jazzed up about making things happen is by attending some sort of mastermind group. They take many forms from regular meetings with a group of locals, to short term meetings like conferences and conventions, but one of the most revolutionary ideas I’ve come across in this arena is the idea of having everyone meet on a cruise ship. Tim Sonefelt and Barry Mitchell pioneered this idea with their “Creativity at Sea” workshop where you pay one flat fee for the conference and you get EVERYTHING.

Talk about a cost effective event!


• No hotel expense (normally $120+ per night X 5 nights = $600).
• No meals as the cruise ship provide 24/7 gourmet dining (equivalent meals would cost $200 per day, but even at just surviving on fast food, you’re saving $30 per day X 5 days = $150).
• No lecture notes to buy. Tim and Barry made every speaker provide their lecture notes and then the guys printed and bound them at THEIR cost and provide them to attendees for FREE. At $20 each, times 10 or so sessions, that’s $200 you can spend on something else.
• No entertainment expenses. The cruise ship provides nightly entertainment as well as lots of daily activities for everyone.


I attended the first CAS cruise last year and was very excited to attend this one as well. Even as a speaker I pay to attend the event! Why? Because the guys want to keep the costs down for the attendees and because it is such a darn good value.

No kidding, I’m bringing my wife, my daughter, and my in-laws this time. It is simply too good of a deal to believe.
