What People Are Saying...
I’ve worked as a marketing executive in ten major US corporations which no longer exist. It was good while it lasted. Renegade Professional relights the fire in my belly to go at marketing with a new passion. I am overwhelmed at the moment, but your coaching and proven success story keep me in the game. I couldn’t do it without the Renegade community. Thank from me and my family!Rich Garay

Hey Mike! This all sounds fantastic and just what most were really looking for at Hoverson’s Vegas weekend when we spoke. I sure hope I can work around those dates and get up there to see you all. Look forward to more details and more correspondence.

Mike Awesome stuff. This type of training is much needed as you know. I love your ability to listen to what is going on and then taking action to provide us with a solution. I look forward to seeing you at the event.

Hi Mike!
I am so looking forward to this LIVE event, having missed the first one in January… yes, planning on coming a day early for that privy networking at the penthouse
Thanks for the heads up! Yes, it’s time for everyone to know how to tie all their marketing efforts together! Thanks for your amazing leadership!!!

I tell you Mike. I am really greatful for your inspiring info on the upcoming event and Wednesday’s webinar. In building my business, I have run into some serious planning and taking action obstacles of my own making, due to a lack of skill, clarity of vision, and experience. So, I am faithful that the event and subsequent webinarsa, trainings will be a path to my business building success. As a Smart Beginner, I, personally, have had to let some things go and really focus and take action consistently. It is said that you must give yourself a push in the right direction. That is true, but believe me your consistency and love for the community, your keeping us alert and updated, is an acceptable push that is lightilng a fire under me, and I an so grateful, Mike. See you at the top.

Hi Mike I was at the last event but am hosting a wedding the June weekend at my house in eastern Wa state Should I still take the class I am a member of Renegade and took you and Ann’s class
Comment by Bev Ferraro — May 8, 2010 @ 8:07 am
Mike,
I KNOW that look on your face! It means you are about to make history again by sharing your amazing insight on how all of us can take the next big step. Nobody can teach it like you can.
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again – my best advice to those reading this is: when Mike Klingler speaks…listen, take notes, and implement. And mark the date in your calendar.
For me, it was May 10, 2008. My first time to connect with Mike himself. I knew nothing about internet marketing, building a business, or even much on how to use my computer. But I listened to every word Mike shared with me…and two years later, Coaching Cognition is more than I ever dreamed of and then some.
Hey Mike – let’s have an anniversary celebration! LOL

Mike,
What time will the event start on Saturday and end on Sunday?
Comment by Eddie Espiritu — May 8, 2010 @ 8:55 am
@ Ryan, hey there! Definitely! I have been studying where most people are at since the January event in Portland and you’re right, the Hoverson event really made it as clear as day–people are ready to study the marketing funnel to piece together everything else… I think this will bring A LOT of people over the last hill and make the path a lot shorter for beginners just starting out. Hope you can make it!
@Ed, thank you Ed. Looking forward to it as well! When we send registration link out be sure to submit that right away so you can be at the BBQ at penthouse cause no more than 40 can be there per each day (so 80 total as we’ll do it in Sat. and Sun). It’ll be fun! Great to get to see and connect with you longer this time.
@Emma, awesome! The infamous Emma herself! I am so honored
Saw your video by the way–well done!!! A pillar example that we’ll use to show other people wanting to become trainers how to present themselves as a professional. You’re a great leader! Can’t wait to see you!
@Glibert, I really appreciate that a lot. Stay plugged in and (hopefully) make it to the event in Portland as well as the webinar series… and you’ll quickly move to Professional level (it’s amazing how fast the transition can take place… just ask some of the others it really can happen fast once u get on a track). I keep very focused this year on moving you forward. And again, thank you for your kind words.
@Bev, cancel the wedding! Just kidding
Definitely be on the webinar series… I will be re-framing things based on what I’ve learned about where people are at… I believe I see this from a new angle that will really make a difference (helping others more clearly see their approach to how to put the pieces together)… once u see things as a structure with an emphasis on cash-flow (so so important) it all gets easier. If you can make it for even a day to live event I suggest you do… if that’s out of the question, just stay as close as you can. Transformations happen in an ‘ah ha’ moment more often than not that comes from the culmination of ‘being around’ the focused message and a group who is focused on what you’re needing to do/learn next. Keep in touch with your progress!
@Barbara–awesome! I think at least one of the BBQ’s should be a celebration of Coaching Cognition–we will be showing the new site so it’s quite appropriate! Cheers! And congrats on what’s coming with the next version of site. Exciting!
@Eddi, networking at 9 am Saturday and Sunday, focused presentation and class begins at 10 am. Ends at 4 PM Saturday & 3 PM Sunday. Networking on Friday from 3 til evening with Renegade Professional trainers getting chance to be at penthouse Friday night (BBQ at penthouse in evening at Sat. And Sun). Most critical time to be there is during presentation and class from 10 am to 3 on Sat. and Sun.
@everyone, remember to email trainers@marketingmerge.com with subject: Live Event if you plan to attend. tickets are free for those who registered for Wed. Webinar. I’m giving you my all this year!

I am a beginner who wants to start an online business. Is this event right for me?? thanks….
Comment by Evie Lane — May 8, 2010 @ 10:18 am
Evie, I can’t imagine a luckier start! I believe it will not only make the process significantly easier and faster, but a lot more enjoyable.
Comment by Mike Klingler — May 8, 2010 @ 10:34 am
Hi Mike,
Not to sound over the top but when I saw your video on not only your very generous offer and the free online training for those of us in Renegade Professional, I got goose bumps. I knew I was in the right place at the right time.
I love your training and dedication to all of us. I have built some fabulous organizations offline and I am truly passionate about social media and I’m ready to take my game up to the next level. Thank you for making it so easy to say yes. You are truly living by example of the givers gain.
By the way, I joined The Unified Tribe and I am overjoyed. It along with the Renegade Professional both are the best decisions I have made in investing in myself and my family’s future.

Comment by Faith Barnard — May 8, 2010 @ 10:58 am
I’m in and able to help you all if you need some volunteers, Mike. I’ll be back in PDX on June 1st, so let’s connect again. Can’t wait to meet you, Emma…can I interview you while you’re there in PDX? And can we commit to the bbq yet, Mike? I want to be there for sure, too! You know from our conversation that I agree completely that this is the missing piece. Thanks for the interview! And thanks for this next step of training.
Comment by Leta — May 8, 2010 @ 10:06 pm
Hi Leta,
Definitely! And I’ll make sure everyone who posted here Saturday gets into the BBQ. And for as long as there is room (since we’ll have two BBQ’s if needed) we’ll look to those who post here to get priority. Participation attracts opportunity!
Looking forward to seeing you there again and TY for the offer on volunteering. We might take you up on that! This will be a lot of fun!
Comment by Mike Klingler — May 9, 2010 @ 2:26 am
Hey Mike and everyone else too. Count me in. Wow, who would have thought I would be attending 3 live events in less than a year. Must be something you said, Mike.
I am thinking this time of staying for several days to enjoy the Live Event and then to travel around the area for a few days. Maybe I can have a tour of the office too. See you then.
Comment by Cindy Murphy — May 9, 2010 @ 3:50 am
I agree with Cindy, it’s amazing to think of being in on three live events in such a short time, but everything *is* happening pretty fast…which is a great thing, and I’m looking forward to the training on the 12th and seeing everyone at the Barbecue and the live event. It will be nice to see Portland with everything in bloom this time!
Comment by Laurel Purvis — May 9, 2010 @ 2:57 pm
Wow! I think the party has already begun! I love all the excitement and the commitment to this LIVE Event! Leave it to Mike to be able to round up like minded and purposeful leaders! The honor of participation is all mine! Thanks for the kind words on my video Mike! I was thinking of you and the community as I recorded that… Leta, am so honored that you would like to interview me, I would love to! Can’t wait to meet you in person too… Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful Moms on this post! Can’t wait to see you again, Mike! Looking forward to meeting your amazing community members in person!

If there is some room for me I would like to attend.

HI Mike, I am so excited to attend this event. Loved seeing you in person in Vegas. Your entire person exudes value, quality, and class. Thanks.
Count me in for the BBQ- Karen
Comment by Karen Ellis — May 9, 2010 @ 6:50 pm
WOW Mike!! Your extreme generosity speaks volumes as to the quality of your character. Maya Angelou once said:”I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.” I think I speak for most when I say – Thanks for throwing back so much of your knowledge and wisdom gained as a business superstar to your faithful followers. See you at the BBQ.
Comment by Trent Giesler — May 9, 2010 @ 8:02 pm
Hi Mike, I can’t wait. I practically got started at the January event and have come forward leaps and bounds. Everything you have given has been so valuable and now this. I think this will be a huge breakthrough event for me. I have so many ideas, but this will help me pull them together.
I am also here in pdx so if you need any help I would love to do what I can.

Hi Mike, thanks for all the information and training you provide for those of us just starting out in online marketing. Became a member of Renegade Professional and looking forward to the journey.
Comment by Opal Anderson — May 10, 2010 @ 2:06 am
You know me, Mike. If you have food, I’m in. The event is the bonus for me
Oh, btw… our late night IM strategy sessions need to stop! LOL. In all seriousness, I believe this will be an event for the ages. Transparent dissection and step-by-step (Mike-Klingler-style) analysis of the entire process of building a real online business is going to be HUGE for folks.
I honestly like to think of what this event is to online business as equivalent to what the “masked magician” who revealed to his viewers how some of the most amazing illusions were created.
Except what we’re talking about here is NO ILLUSION at all!
P.S. What kind of BBQ are we having?
Comment by Jerry Chen — May 10, 2010 @ 2:23 am
Hi Mike
I love to see your enthusiasm here Mike. People seeing your videos cannot help but be drawn in to your message.
I’m a smart beginner chipping away at this internet marketing steadily, and although I’m unable to get to the US for this great event, I am looking forward to hearing all about it.
Great stuff Mike – well done.
Richard
Comment by Richard Anderson — May 10, 2010 @ 6:05 am
Hi, Mike.
This sounds awesome. I appreciate your hard work to share your experience with others. Would love to attend if I can work out my schedule. Time will tell.
Comment by Greg Felty — May 10, 2010 @ 7:53 am
Hey everyone!
This is no doubt an event that you should NOT miss. Mike is sharing the most important information to date!
I’m looking forward to meeting all of you!
Lisa Holcomb
BTW – the Penthouse is AWESOME!
Comment by Lisa Holcomb — May 10, 2010 @ 8:22 am
I can not WAIT for this event! I got to meet so many of you at the January event, its going to be so great to reconnect.
This time around, we are making it really easy for you to be able to go, because we WANT YOU THERE!
So I look forward to meeting many more of you.
I’m also excited for personal reasons. At the time of the January event, I was on board part time, helping out where I could. But that event changed everything, and solidified what I already suspected was true. That this was an amazing group of people that was worth aligning myself with.
Since then, I’ve joined Coaching Cognition full time, and I cannot be happier with that decision.
So this time, I will be at the live event representing Coaching Cognition as a full time member of the team. Gives me warm fuzzy feelings.
I know that so many of you have made great strides in the last 5 months, and I hope to hear all about YOUR warm fuzzy feelings… or extreme excitement, or determination…. whatever best describes YOUR movement toward success.
See YOU in June!

@Richard: take heart – we have some eager folks in all parts of the world who are pushing for a meeting closer to them – who knows what might happen?
Comment by Barbara Silva — May 10, 2010 @ 1:22 pm
It will be great to see Barbara, Kendall,Cindy Not to mention the new platform for cc and the funnel. I need that.
Comment by Morris Fisher — May 10, 2010 @ 4:34 pm
Hey there Morris–it’ll be GREAT visiting with you again!
I’m really excited about this one because it’s not only going to be packed with a condensed version of the 12 course series I’m doing all year (so those here will get it ALL in a weekend!) But… this is going to be a lot of fun as those here will be with us at the penthouse at night for BBQ and just getting to connect in a way that we’ve never really been able to do before.
Lookin’ forward to it!
mike
Comment by Mike Klingler — May 10, 2010 @ 4:58 pm
Wow, I will be there. Where will it be? I know Portland, but do you know the place yet?
The video kept stopping so sorry if you already told us.
I really get alot out of your training and I am so excited to be there and learn from you.
Thank you!!!
Debbie
Comment by Debbie Gibson Harr — May 10, 2010 @ 8:15 pm
This is just what I need. Clarity. I can hardly wait until Wednesday! I just might juice fast just to have an absorbent and clear mind that night.
Comment by Sallie Greenleaf — May 11, 2010 @ 5:54 am
Very excited about this event and will definately be there. Also excited for the new webinar series. Love being in the right place at the right time!
Comment by Jenn Christiansen — May 11, 2010 @ 11:36 am
@Debbie, it will be at the Courtyard Marriott in downtown Portland (not the old Marriott but a new one in SW).
We’ll have all the details late this week to early next week.
Just be sure to email trainers@marketingmerge.com with subject: Coming to Live Event so we can email you your free ticket and all the information.
Look forward to meeting u there!
mike
Comment by Mike Klingler — May 11, 2010 @ 12:10 pm
@Sallie, love it!
Comment by Mike Klingler — May 11, 2010 @ 12:12 pm
Jerry: I followed your wise advice and got a kodakzi8 and love it TY…so will you do an interview, too?
Emma: Thnx, looking forward to a dynamic video chat with you.
Lisa: I’m anxious to meet you
Kendall and Barb: I know Coaching Cognition will play a part. Look forward to solidifying my relationship and serving soon.
I think I’ll have to weasel some Marriott points out of my hubby so I can stay downtown and network. I can tell this is going to be a ton of fun and so valuable! The energy it way up there!
Comment by Leta — May 12, 2010 @ 2:49 am
@Leta – CC will definitely be playing a part in this event, and I too look forward to connecting with you.
Leta is already taking advantage of one of the prime reasons for a gathering such as this. Networking! By setting up interviews, she is not only helping those she interviews, like Emma, but she is also bringing more value to the community by sharing the interview!
I recommend that everyone who will be attending do exactly what Leta is doing: creating an action plan for your time in Portland.
Schedule interviews with each other, intend to make time to talk with the speakers, etc.
Come with specific and realistic goals that you would like to reach by the time you leave, and plan ways to make it happen!
It is a very special occasion to have a gathering of like-minded individuals with such a wide range of experience.
If you are newer to all of this than other attendees, you can learn from them.
If you are more experienced, you can help those who now stand where you once were.
You might find a coach you would love to work with. You might a new business partner. These things have happened for others at the previous live events this year, and can happen for you at this one.
So what do YOU want to get out of this experience? And are you ready to make it happen?
We can hardly wait for this event… it is going to be an AMAZING experience.
Kendall
