Jim Kukral Kicked My A** For 40 Minutes

January 21, 2010

I attended Jim Kukral‘s session at Affiliate Summit entitled, “How to get Motivated for Success” only to hear Jim speak. He has a natural stage presence, and I was going simply to listen to a great public speaker. I didn’t expect to get anything out of the session, but Jim definitely proved me wrong. Jim’s [...]

ASW10 Day 3

January 21, 2010

Tuesday was the final day of Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas – sad to see things wrap up, but 3 days is all I can take being away from my family and working (attending sessions, networking opportunities, walking the exhibit hall floor) nearly 24/7.
