Dancing with the La Crosse Stars on Saturday Night…Sponsor Us and Help the Red Cross!

I can’t believe that the competition is almost here! It has been a long, and sometimes stressful, seven weeks getting ready for Saturday night (November 28th). Katie and I have worked hard on our Paso Doble and Samba routine. And we could still use help with sponsorships. Remember, every dollar you sponsor us with counts as an additional point in our overall score. And, every dollar goes directly to the American Red Cross. Just download our poster and fill out the sponsorship form or call the Red Cross at 608.788.1000 to sponsor Katie and me. We would greatly appreciate your help!

So, some people have asked me where the “Google Guru” thing came from. I actually got the nickname from a reporter with Wisconsin Public Radio who interviewed me shortly after the publication of my book The Small Business Owner’s Handbook to Search Engine Optimization. Apparently the nickname is catchy because it stuck! And I confess…I kind of like it!

After the Dancing with the La Crosse Stars competition, I will post some videos and other behind-the-scenes photos. I am so excited for Katie and I to get on stage but really nervous too. Being in front large groups of people and giving a speech or teaching a class is comfortable for me…but thinking about doing the Samba in front of 900 people is starting to make my stomach turn. What did I get myself into?

But Katie has been a great teacher. I could not have asked for a better partner. She is outstanding and has worked hard to prepare me well for the competition. I just need to trust in all of our prep work and that will give me the confidence I need to keep from tripping over myself! Saturday night is going to be so much fun. I am really looking forward to it…but will be very relieved when it is over, too.
