The Bula Think Tank developed into a physical all day event exclusively for entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals and even home-based micro-business owners who wanted to engage in head on, intense, highly interactive sessions designed to help them push their success to new heights.

The Bula Think Tank was $1797 and clearly wasn’t for everybody, but for those willing to go through the process it was a life-changing event where we pushed, prodded and nudged our way forward so each member of the session could achieve multiples more than they invested. That price represented a 62% discount from my hourly consulting rate and delivered terrific value for each member. The problem was my schedule wouldn’t permit enough flexibility or convenience. That’s the problem with being just one guy – it’s all on me. Part of my business model is built on the premise of “no employees.” For over 35 years I’ve managed, lead and trained employees. Fun stuff, for sure – but for me it’s really a case of ‘been there, done that” and I simply no longer want to. And I don’t have to.

Cloning science hasn’t arrived to enable us to replicate ourselves so we can be in two or more places at the same time. Thankfully, today the Internet affords us the opportunities to reach more people and to do it conveniently and inexpensively. In fact, we can do things today that are just downright cheap compared to how they were done just a few years ago. Thanks to a variety of technologies IT professionals (and others) can remotely log onto our computers without making a costly trip to our office. And folks like me can easily – and inexpensively – make our services available to more people than ever before!

So the time has come for the Bula Think Tank to go virtual. That requires some shifting in methodology, but the effectiveness and the high value is going to be elevated beyond what it once was – and that’s saying something. Additionally, the new and improved virtual think tank will allow participants to maintain whatever level of comfort they seek. I admit that my reluctance to embark on this virtual learning environment was the inability to push people into areas where they were NOT comfortable. Major gains were made when people stepped beyond what was comfortable for them. Yes, it was uncomfortable, but that was always such short-term pain for such long-term gain. This new methodology allows people to participate to whatever degree they choose. I know people want that and I’m going to make sure that the virtual think tank incorporates the ability to propel people forward even if they prefer to hug the wall instead of milling about the room smartly.

Regards,

Randy
