I’m sorry — I don’t have time to “warm up” my audience for this.

You and I need to act now.

Microsoft Publisher is retiring.

If you’ve used Publisher for years, you may have dozens — or hundreds — of .PUB files containing brochures, handouts, newsletters, forms, client materials and other important content.

I know I do.

Microsoft says Microsoft 365 users will lose access to Publisher after October 1, 2026, and recommends converting important Publisher files before then.

Your files won’t disappear, but opening or editing them later could become much harder.

So I’m doing the work now — and sharing exactly what I learn in my new book:

📘 Life After Microsoft Publisher
How to Save Your Files, Avoid Lockout, and Move Forward Fast

The goal is simple:

Find it. Save it. Convert what matters. Move forward.

I’ll show you how I’m protecting my own Publisher files, what to convert, and what options you have after Publisher.

The book will be priced at roughly the cost of a nice meal out.

Please share this with someone who may need it — a church, school, nonprofit, small business owner, parent, teacher or organization.

Need multiple copies for employees, clients or prospects? Ask me about reduced bulk pricing.

Want to know the moment it becomes available?

There’s no long marketing runway this time.

The clock is already running.

Networking Elite Offers Business Leaders New Opportunities Through Travel, Association, and Shared Experiences

You Can Exchange Business Cards in Minutes. Trust Takes Time.

Most networking events last an hour or two.

People introduce themselves, exchange business cards, share a brief overview of what they do, 

and then return to their busy schedules.

But meaningful business relationships often require something more:

Time.

Shared experiences.

Real conversations.

The opportunity to know the person behind the business.

That is the idea behind Networking Elite.

Networking Elite will bring together only twelve to fifteen accomplished business leaders from 

different industries for a professionally organized international sightseeing experience lasting

approximately nine to fourteen days.

There will be:

No endless presentations.

No constant sales pitches.

No conference room filled with mandatory training.

Instead, participants will explore another country, enjoy meals, laugh, exchange stories, discuss ideas, and build relationships; naturally.

Possible opportunities may include:

• Developing trusted relationships with successful business leaders

• Learning how owners and executives in other industries approach challenges and opportunities

• Sharing business experiences in relaxed, informal settings

• Discovering new ideas through conversation and observation

• Creating future referral relationships

• Identifying possible partnerships or collaborations

• Expanding professional connections beyond a local market

• Gaining new perspectives through international travel

• Building friendships with people who understand the responsibilities of business ownership and leadership

• Becoming part of an ongoing Networking Elite community

No sale, referral, partnership, or business opportunity can ever be guaranteed.

The value is created through the people selected, the time spent together, and the relationships that may develop.

Because more is often caught than taught.

Because many meaningful business relationships begin outside the office.

And because people prefer doing business with people they know, like, and trust.

Networking Elite

Twelve to fifteen business leaders.

Different industries.

One extraordinary journey.

Relationships that may continue long after everyone returns home.
