“It’s deja-vu all over again,” said Yogi Berra.

Yogi was referring to the multiple World Series rings he collected as a Yankee. For me, deja-vu is the I want Yougrassroots campaign to kick-off the next BloodhoundBlog Unchained Social Media Marketing Conference, on November 7, 2008, in Orlando, FL.

Like Yogi, I take particular delight in this challenge. Unchained Phoenix was our first World Series victory. Many Unchained graduates tell us it was a four-game sweep.   Our challenge now is to RETAIN the championship.   The road to victory starts tonight.

What might you expect from the BloodhoundBlog Unchained Social Media Marketing Conference in Orlando?   Ask our newly commissioned guerrillas, on the front lines, if  what they learned in Phoenix is working.

Here’s Christine Beaur-Mortezaie’s take:

For the last couple of months I’ve enjoyed being a BloodHoundBlog spectator. Just keeping up with these prolific and interesting writers is a job, rewarding, but quite a job. I still can’t figure out how to carve out time for web 2.o.   I have been way too busy harnessing time for deals  that are generating income now but BHB and all its talented contributors have brought a breath of fresh air to my stale world.

I’ve been in real estate for 5 years and no one, except for Laurie Manny, whom I had the good fortune to meet recently in the Long Beach office, has ever challenged me to think beyond the tip of my nose. So break the mold! What a far-fetched idea! The modus operandi had been “Do as I have ALWAYS done and YOU TOO will be successful” and YOU TOO will be at the same place… chained in 20 years…

I had to attend BHB Unchained in Phoenix. Lucky me! At Unchained was the most phenomenal group of people, with such diverse personalities, talents and experiences. What made the conference so fabulous, beyond the presentations, was the continual sharing and exchange between presenters and attendees, table partners and neighbors, lunch companions and the water cooler cohorts. There was no right or wrong, just opinions - sometimes strong, and opportunities to share and learn. Quite different from what I had experienced in my real estate world.  BHB Unchained opened the gate, my gate to sanity.

So be sane. Don’t miss out on the next BHB Unchained session. You owe it to yourself to learn and know what’s beyond the gate. Don’t settle for the status quo. Go and Unchain your mind and your business.

Yes, Go to Unchained! In Orlando or in Pascagoula (I always loved that name) or in Petaouchnoc (the french version of every/any town). Walk to Orlando if you have to.

P.S. It looks like getting a new place in Orlando might be a challenge. The Heard Museum in Phoenix might have had some issues, but what a wonderful venue. I could have spent many more hours and evenings in BHB Unchained sessions, but what a great opportunity it was to walk to the other side of the building and visit this treasure of a museum every night after the sessions. This was an unanticipated treat. Thank you Greg and Brian.

Thank you, Christine for attending and, more importantly, practicing what you’ve learned by being found everywhere. Our mission will be complete when we drive the bums out of the business.  Christine is doing that on the Western Front.
