Writing Because I Can’t Not Write Group – For seasoned and aspiring writers
Hello everyone, I’m really excited about our next Live event THIS FRIDAY on FEB.16 at 7:30 pm EST w/our Special Featured Author(s), Mark ‘Coach’ Prasek of PJNET.TV & w/Author Ben Cooper! We can’t wait!
Hello everyone ,
I am VERY EXCITED to ANNOUNCE that we will be featuring Coach Mark Prasek of PJNET.TV on Feb.16, 2024, at 7:30 pm EST with Author Ben Cooper at our Zoom meeting for the Writing Because I Can’t Not Write Group.
Mark Prasek is the founder and host of PJNET.tv – an online video ministry providing a platform for everyday Christians to share their walk with Christ. Since 2018, almost 500 different guests have appeared on the program. Mark is also an accomplished creator of 3D animated videos in partnership with Christian authors to promote their ministry.
Ben Cooper is an author, speaker, educator, and beekeeper. He grew up on a family farm in western Pennsylvania and went on to get an Agricultural Science degree from Penn State University. Ben retired after working as an Agricultural Specialist for the State of Maryland.
Ben and his wife live in southern Pennsylvania where they homeschooled and raised their five children. He is the author of All Nature Sings: A Devotional Guide to Animals in the Bible, and the children’s picture book series that include Created Critters with Wings and Created Critters with Fur.
He is also a contributing author for All God’s Creatures, an annual devotional from Guideposts.
First, Ben will give us a presentation on Five Steps to Landing Book Endorsements, and after that we will get to hear from Mark! He will explain his TV program on PJENT.TV and his many other programs! Mark will give us a “crash course” on a class he taught at The Well conference here in MI!
He is also willing to meet with anyone after the meeting one to one for further questions!
This is a meeting you have to join! Ben will start by giving us a presentation on five tips for landing book (or business) endorsements, again! Then we’ll hear from Mark!
I’m looking forward to this and can’t wait to learn from both of them. Where else can you go to meet with TV hosts, best sellers, award winners, movie producers, and others who are FREELY giving you their feedback and advice? Our meetings are FREE virtual masterminds, and we only feature the best!
We will then open for a live Q&A where we can ask them both questions. It is going to be phenomenal!
Every week I aim to special feature one influential person who is a writer, speaker, author, or entrepreneur. This week we have two!
We also love to feature filmmakers, founders, and producers. We feature artists and musicians and love to meet with creative people! They give us their background, information, and experience – we learn from them and ask follow-up questions. We have very interesting discussions on the writing and business industry.
Coach Prasek featured me on PJNET TV not long ago and it was a fascinating experience!
Whether you are a writer, speaker, in media, or a businessperson, we are happy to assist you with your writing or business endeavors. We can also help with how to increase your brand and presence!
As of late, we have featured: Jimmy Tuman Paul Hollis Sharon Rose Gibson Patricia Mattern Sarah Sundin Kyle Duncan Dr. Veronica Brooks Michael Greenberg Juliana Gennari Anderson! And many many others!
The meeting starts at 7:30 pm EST and ends at 9 pm. You may keep your camera and mic on or off. We are very laid back and don’t mind. You may also hop in late or leave early!
Please note: this meeting will be recorded and shared.

I’ve been back from the “Living Legends of Entrepreneurial Marketing” for nearly a week, and I can’t stop thinking about it! I want to go back! As a matter of fact, this time last week I was sitting on a boat, the beautiful “Bateaux,” it was a gorgeous night, and I got to see the New York skyline!🌇
At Zankel Hall in Carnegie Hall getting ready to watch the show!
And what a view it was, I got to see celebrities like Ice-T and his wife, Coco, Martha Stewart, Dylan Howard (the Chief content officer of American media, who shared exclusive stories about Charlie Sheen!), Hal Elrod (author of 2 million copies sold), Micheal Gerber (of the E-myth, multiple #1 New York Times best-seller), Alex Mandossian, Steve Larsen (#1 funnel hacker for ClickFunnels, and part of the two-comma club—an elite group of online entrepreneurs that have reached one million dollars, or ‘two commas’).🤑😆
I can’t leave out Jerry Greenfield (of Ben & Jerry’s🍧) who even served me ice cream, and told the story of how him and Ben split the money for a $5 course! He said their ice cream was becoming a hit, but Haagen Dazs was bigger, so Pillsbury stopped selling Ben & Jerry’s on their trucks! That was illegal, so they started a campaign called, “What is the dough boy afraid of?” 😂 And they put a stop to it!
With Martha Stewart! At 79, she’s beautiful and still knows everything!💕
W/Jerry of Ben & Jerry’s, Ice-T, Coco, & Steve Larsen!!!🤩
Some takeaways I got:
“You can’t just be on TV, you have to do something exceptional!” ~Martha Stewart
“Success is to be emotionally, financially, and mentally stable!” ~Walter O’Brien
“The greatest gift you can give to people you LOVE and LEAD is your full potential! ~Michael Gerber
“The most POWERFUL element of marketing is CURIOSITY (‘How did this person do this, get this, and be this…?’)” ~Clint Arthur
“There is a new creature inside of you, waiting to be ‘born.’” ~Michael Gerber
I’ll admit going on this trip was not easy for me; my dad has had a significant amount of Alzheimer’s, and it is worsening. I distribute his medicine daily, and do the same for my mom, too. I had to schedule for caregivers and call substitutes to teach my courses.
BUT, it was SO worth it!!! I loved every minute!!!
Below I am with Michael Gerber of the E-Myth, published in 1992, millions of copies have been sold! He says that he didn’t do everything that happened to him, he says “it did it!”😄 And Rick Warren “built his church” on Gerber (not on the Bible). lol Rick Warren, best-selling author of The Purpose Driven Life (the most popular book next to the Bible!).
Michael Gerber has been Rick’s mentor and credits Rick and says, “He is a Living Legend!”❤️💚🧡
And here are some more pics with fabulous people!
Below was on the second day after I arrived. It was beautiful and sunny with a crisp wind, and I didn’t know what to expect. I knew I would be exposed to some ‘elite’ people! Tim, the second from the left is from Michigan, also, so we talked about that a little bit, and it was a good icebreaker! Linda and I hit it off, with her being a caregiver (like I am), and having a daughter with some challenges.
By the way, the food at the Red Eye Grill was pure deliciousness!🍹🥗🥖
Clint gave out ‘Film Fest awards’ and there were actors and writers, adding a little more Hollywood!🎬
These people were so honored! ✨🎤
I also posted Clint’s live webinar on my social media a few times! It was a post-Carnegie Hall one where he gave me a special shout-out and pointed to my blog!❤️ He says I am AWESOME & QUALIFIED! I’m still smiling!😄
He used my article as a model and said it is ‘wonderful.’❤️🎈

I had the greatest time at “Living Legends of Entrepreneurial Marketing” at Carnegie Hall in New York this past weekend! No words can describe it. It was a three day conference, but like none I have ever been to before! It went beyond my expectations.
Me with Ice-T & Coco!!!!😁
Ice-T & his wife, Coco, Martha Stewart, and other speakers were there! Steve Larsen (the funnel hacker, whose built 500 funnels for Russell Brunson), Walter O’Brien (Scorpion, the ‘smartest man in the world’), Dylan Howard (Chief editor of the National Enquirer, Chief content officer of American media), Hal Elrod (best-selling author), Micheal Gerber, Alex Mandossian, and Jerry Greenfield (of Ben & Jerry’s), who served me with a scoop of butter pecan ice cream, were all there!
With Jerry of Ben & Jerry’s!🍦😁
I was a VIP at the event, and more TV and radio personalities attended along with actors and writers, there were even ‘Film Fest’ awards! By the way, I got a director’s contact number.😉
THEN, there was a BOAT cruise that was soo much fun!!!! I had to pinch myself. A deluxe dinner cruise up the Hudson River on the beautiful Bateaux New York, we saw the Statue of Liberty up close!
On the Bateaux New York
I got to see some other great sights in New York, also, and made new friends!
The food was delicious and the weekend was so special! There were drinks, networking, dancing and music. Everyone was really nice and enjoying themselves! It was a once in a lifetime experience!
People came in from Australia, Denmark, Norway, and Canada! It was a growth experience I will never forget it.
… pictures and stories cannot even do it justice! You had to be there! But that’s just the thing, not EVERYONE could be so I want to share some more pics.
One World Trade Center (rebuilt World Trade Center)🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Madison Square Park!
In my room getting ready for the show!
I even got to go to a little Italian restaurant and eat “mezze” and enjoy a glass of wine (or two😉), near Times Square right in the heart of New York! It’s underground, the kind of restaurant you would find in the movie “Godfather!”
Aren’t we cute?
There was a lot more I don’t have time to include right now, but finally, I wanted to add some popular quotes. I took A LOT of notes, and these were the ones that I picked out to share!
• “As an entrepreneur, you are going to fail! Do not give up!” ~Ice-T
• “Be PRESENT. Find what the “secret” is for you!” ~Michael Gerber
• “Story is what people buy, they never buy the product!” ~Steve Larsen
• “It doesn’t matter what you sell, the product is YOU!!!” ~Clint Arthur
• “It is WHO you are and WHO you are perceived to be, that is the game!” ~Clint Arthur
With Clint Arthur, my favorite mentor, speaker, coach!❤️
• “By the time you’re clients come to you, they should ALREADY have come to you, IF they can get to you!!!!” ~Clint Arthur
• “The marketing of what you do, IS more important than what you do!” ~Clint Arthur
• “ You are able to position your brand or cause by the POWER of celebrity.” ~Dylan Howard
• “The PROCESS is critical, NOT the product!” ~Michael Gerber
I was surrounded by beautiful and accomplished people: doctors, innovators, people who create solar energy, manage cyber security, one of them talked about developing medicine dispensers, and there were leaders in construction.
I thought, how did I get here, and how am I sitting among these people with SO much wealth and talent, it was a miracle!
