Kissmas Party and Tofurious’s 1 Year Birthday

by Lawrence on December 9, 2009

I admit it – San Diego is pretty far from Los Angeles. Either way, I sucked it up and trekked down to SD. Before the car was even put into the “D” mode, I turned on my air conditioner and found a nice station for tunes. This was followed by a few hours of rolling along the 5 Freeway at the pace of a pedestrian. You must understand that is the only freeway to get there.

To be quite honest, even if Kissmas was in Brazil, I just might still go. I’m sort of making it a tradition. Shaun Austin and Kevin Swan were the first people to vouch for me and Tofurious. This was before I even had an idea of what Tofurious will be. I guess it’s digital tools and marketing stuff now. Anyway, these two guys gave me a shout out despite mutilating the name while doing so.

I’m proud to say that Tofurious is one year old!!! Although technically speaking, the company was not incorporated until March, but who’s counting anyway. Yay it has been a year! And boy, what a year!

On Friday, the Boudoir Divas graciously opened up their beautiful studio to host the 2009 Kissmas Party! I did not stay very long because I had a shoot the next day, but I stayed long enough for their dance competition.

Hats off to you my friend. You are living proof that with will, a little luck and a “I can and I will” state of mind you can archive greatness.

I truly admire your business sense and think you are a rare breed of person. I know Julie dose not get a ton of press, but what an amazing partner to have by your side.

“L” you build your business from strength and knowledge. I wish only the best for you in 2010 and beyond. You have become a true friend, thank you for sharing your hard learn knowledge with the world.

I heard someone say the other day “well I’m sure all of that information is free on the web.” I replied “Sure maybe, but so is all the knowledge on photography, science, medicine. But it would take a lifetime to test what is real and what is not.” I can tell anyone anyone reading this, that this SEO Class is worth twice or three times more than what Lawerance is charging. You are crazy not to invest in your business. The Class is real and worth every penny.

I learned so much from your class I can not even begin to express into word what it meant. If I don’t see ya till 2010 have a wonderful and safe new years.
Give Julie my love.

Great respect,

Candice Cunningham

Thank you for the kind words, Candice!

It’s very true – one can learn practically anything online, even building an A-bomb.

My analogy is one can learn to swim with a coach or by reading a book.
