Making lemonade...

My friend and fellow entrepreneur, Carley Knobloch invited me to her family lake house to hang out over the summer. Building this new business, I've clocked far too many 18 hour days, so I jumped on her offer. Course, the new entrepreneur in me, also wanted to take advantage of my trip east to book a few My Story shoots along the way.

Enter Renee Duff: Intellectual Property attorney extraordinaire (you’ll have to wait for her my story to know why you must hire her for your own team). We scheduled her My Story shoot in New York right before I was to travel to Toronto to do absolutely nothing.

You know what they say about the best laid plans? Renee sliced her hand open with a box cutter (I know, OUCH!) and had to postpone our shoot. The only time she was available was when I was to be “doing nothing” by a lake in a home I never wanted to leave. Ever.

What to do? Ditch my much needed vacation? Ditch my new client? Then, this control freak-perfectionist got clever- why not utilize the beauty of technology (must have been Carley's sheik geekness rubbing off) and interview her over Skype?

We had some kinks along the way, but fortunately for us, Renee was a willing experiment in taking this storytelling venture worldwide. Nothing beats live, but Memorex really could be the next best thing.

Course, I still worked the entire time, but is it really work when you love what you do?

Check back to see the results of our labors.

I have photos and video to share documenting the event, since that is what I do, but of course not enough of Carley's techiness rubbed off since I can't figure out how to post photos or video (this is why I need a team behind me).

Am I alone? Have you had an accidental break through? Tell me your story...
