We might be CRAZY for doing this, but we were just so ENERGIZED by our workshops in February and all the success stories we’re already hearing from our attendees (see a few of their testimonials below), that we’re so excited to announce two new workshop dates in two different cities!
First up is our workshop in Scottsdale THIS coming month on March 29 – 31. That’s a pretty fast turnaround time — and we honestly weren’t planning on doing another one in Scottsdale before this coming fall — but when we looked at our calendar, we realized that this was the only time that worked, so we jumped on it and can’t wait! Friends, we would LOVE to have you join us, whether you’re from Arizona or somewhere else and want to grab a cheap flight and a friend to share a hotel room with in a place that’s currently 75 degrees and sunny, we can’t wait to have you!
Since we already announced this workshop to our priority access list and newsletter subscribers, there are only FOUR SEATS LEFT! So email us QUICKLY if you want to grab one of the last seats before they’re all gone or sign up here!
ALSO… and this one’s a little crazy, but we’re teaching a workshop in Virginia Beach IN A BEACH HOUSE this June 14 – 16! That almost didn’t register because we never thought WE’D be doing something like this, but God opened the door, so we walked through it, and we couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to teach on the East Coast! The part that blows our mind the most is that there’s only ONE seat left for that one! Yikes! We don’t know if we’ll be back on the East Coast for a workshop in 2015, so if you’re interested in that final seat, send an email to info@amyandjordan right now or sign up here!
* The Virginia Beach workshop is SOLD OUT! If you’re interested in a future workshop in Virginia, please send us an email, because we’re considering another workshop in Virginia either this year or next!
Okay, friends, we know this has a big week of announcements, but we’re so thankful for all of your love and support in every way, shape, and form you send it our way. We feel it, guys. We really do. You all warm our hearts with your support and encouragement, and you’ll never know just how thankful we are for YOU! We wanted to leave you with just a few of the many testimonials we’ve received from our workshop attendees that have completely touched our hearts.
“No investment I have made for my business has been more meaningful. It lit a fire under my feet and gave me tools I needed to gain momentum, mostly in areas where I literally had no clue where to start. And no one cares more about serving their attendees than Amy and Jordan. Jordan switched his dinner with someone whose order was wrong and gave his coat to someone when we were freezing outside at night, even though I could see he had goosebumps on his arms. Amy breaks down any barriers the second you walk in and makes you feel more important than anything in the world. This one is a game changer, and I would do it again tomorrow if I could.”
“You are possibly two of the kindest people that I have ever been lucky enough to meet. FOR REALSIES. As we sat outside on Tuesday night I couldn’t help but get teary eyed over and over again, because the fact that you were there in itself was amazing. It was obviously cold, and you not only stayed and sat, and shared yourselves with us, but you gave us the coats straight off your backs to make us more comfortable while you did it. People like you two are a rarity, and while I know you two aren’t the ‘look at us!’ type of people, I hope for just a millisecond today this email makes you stop and recognize the type of hearts you two have and feel proud of the way that you give so freely.
It goes without saying that all of the information you shared over the course of two days was business enhancing, but as I reflected on everything on the flight home I was honestly surprised at how LIFE enhancing it was as well. I flew to Arizona planning to learn from you two and make our business better, but left with such a fire in me to make our overall LIFE better. While thank you doesn’t seem like even close to enough of a word, deeply and honestly THANK YOU.
I am truly touched and inspired by the way you live with such an intense mission to serve everyone around you, and if there is absolutely ever a time we can return the favor or serve you two in any way, I hope you know we would be honored.”
“The night before the workshop opened in November, I was sitting on my computer looking at my bank account. I was initially saving up for a new lens, so I almost had that money set aside. But when I saw you were offering this, I knew it was something I wanted to do. HAD to do. The stress of counting everything as a loss and not making any profit for the past two years was taking its toll on me, but especially my husband who doesn’t understand why a piece of glass costs $2,000. I looked at him and said, ‘I have to do this.’ He was convinced I just wanted to because you guys are my Jose Villa and it would be a ‘cool experience.’
I then told him everything I had been holding in about how sick I am of going nowhere, pouring my life into my photography with no reciprocation, and started sobbing in his arms in the kitchen. ‘It’s my only chance to change things,’ I told him. At the workshop, I saw how much you love on your brides and how you really care about their experiences and marriages. I do too, but do my brides know that? And that hit me like a brick. How was I showing my brides that I love them besides showing up? And that’s what clicked in my head and made me realize I’ve been doing this whole thing wrong.
1 Peter 4:10 says, ‘Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.’ This verse is ON MY WEBSITE and I wasn’t even implementing its meaning to its fullest extent. So thank you for giving me this kick-in-the-pants realization that I have to serve my brides beyond what I think is fitting because it will not only change their lives, but mine. I cannot thank you enough for pouring everything into us these past few days, staying until midnight to answer my question, and giving me new friends to connect with. You have changed my business, and my life for the better.”
“I’m actually in tears as I write this. When I first discovered you guys, I knew we had an instant connection. Husband and wife team. Just like you say in the workshop, ‘Create the connection. It builds trust.’ I immediately trusted you guys. I showed my wife your site, and we both immediately fell in love with your work. We felt the joy, the intimacy, the images were so beautiful. Those were the things that drew us in, but little did we know, the couple that was behind all of it. As we read the ‘Pink Slip Files,’ it was like, ‘Hey, we identify with that. We have been in that situation, too.’ Your transparency allowed us a look into your personal lives, further providing that connection and trust. It set you apart. When I sent my first Facebook message to Jordan, I expected to never hear back. What I got in return was this: ‘I’m proud of you guys. Keep working hard, okay? The Bible says that the diligent prosper. Make your business about loving and serving people you’ll never go wrong.’
I had no words. I cried. People don’t say things like this. It’s not normal. It changed my life and how I do business. God has blessed both of you with a unique skill set. As crazy as it sounds, photography is just a small insignificant thing in the long run. Let’s face it: who cares. Fifty years from now, I might not remember ever detail from your workshop, but I’ll always remember how it felt to see and hear you guys say, ‘We’ve been there. We understand. We know it’s hard. We believe in you. We love you.’ There’s no price tag for an experience like that. Thank you for being you. You guys are rock stars. I’m a total groupie. Not because I worship or idolize you, but because I’ve seen and heard the real you. And that real you is a beautiful, wonderful thing.”
So friends, who is ready for a jam-packed two days to take your game to the next level? Snag a seat before they’re all gone!
