Need help getting to CSW.

Help me get to CSW!

Give my story a short read, and let me prove to you why I am worthy of attending, why I can make your experience better at CSW, and why I need support. If nothing, if you can even provide some creative ideas to finance this, that would be of great value also (yes I've read the free bonus on making a conference pay for itself and have already acted on it).

I'm 22 years old, been a Steve Pavlina implementer since I was 15 (ever since I read the series on waking up early). I have been member number 3 on the forums. I graduated less than a year ago with a business degree, and after having done work that I hate, I finally left the company! Today!

Every single day for the last one month, I have been working consciously to create an abundance heartset, and Steve wasn't kidding when he said you will require a lot of courage to act and disconnect from your old reality. I took the plunge and I am glad for it. It took a lot of honest self-reflection to take this big move where there was a lot of promise for a lot of great pay in the future. Other little things like giving up TV were trivial compared to this.

I am working hard to set up my own business that imports organic and non-toxic clay non-stick pans for the North American market that supports poor artisans in India. I won't be able to sell it for the 2011 Christmas season unfortunately.

I have been a lifelong lacto-vegetarian, turning vegan thanks to the content I have read her, I have done sketch comedy throughout high school and university, done photography, helped organize conferences, and been a mentor to high school kids and university students to aim higher and pursue their success consciously. I also meditate every day. From being an immigrant to Canada that was painfully shy to do anything, to someone that is trying to seize everything life has to offer...that has been my story. I am not saying this to brag, but to let you know that I am not going to be a passive attendee at CSW, but an active participant!

Now, more than ever, I need the company of conscious people, and massive support and insights that I know a conference like CSW will deliver. I am willing to bring my full self to the event, but I need your financial help.

Here is the total cost I am dealing with right now:
$597 US: Conference cost. Stupid me, I should've done this last month!
$650 US: Accommodations. I would like to be there from Thursday morning - Monday morning. See here.
$466 CDN: Airplane trip as seen here with taxes.
$150 CDN: Misc. Expenses
=$1906 CDN or $1844 US.

That's a mighty number to tackle at this point in my life. I am in a place right now where I can cover the cost of the flight (which should stay at around the same place given that Christmas season will be over by then). That leaves $1440 CDN or USD$1393.

I need your help to help me get there with the rest of it. I am reaching out to my friends and family, but they are rather shocked by all these sudden decisions already.

My goal is to get registered by January 1st. If I have not accumulated enough funds by then, I promise to return every single penny back to the people that have given me the money. I also promise to return all the money back as soon as I turn a profit that can cover these payments back to you guys. And for those that support me that are not able to make it to CSW themselves, I will provide an extremely detailed set of notes from the conference. If there is some other value that I can offer, please do let me know.

If you can, I would appreciate it if you could help me out. Here's the link.

I know that Steve does not provide any scholarships anymore, which is fine. If you folks can't support me financially, can you help me by thinking of alternate ways I can cover the cost of this?

You can stay at my place for those days, saving you this $$$ outlay. There are 2 or 3 people staying already, so we're going to have a nice group.

Sweet! Thanks!

I'll contact you as soon as I get signed up!

Now time to figure out where the other $780'ish (canadian) will come from. But at least the number feels a lot more manageable!
