Will, thank you so much. You are appreciated!!
Have any plans for the weekend?
Hey Meron , how are you ?
Great episode . I so much agree on moving your butt and go to events, meet ups , masterminds ect .
A nobody from the middle of nowhere ( that would be me ) had the chance to have lunch with Dan Andrews and drink beers with Chris Ducker . But , not only that . Both guys gave me their thoughts on my business . And there’s more ! I met a plethora of wonderful people like you and Julie .
You can’t leave these events without having lot of ideas or being motivated or not have made good friends .
These two trips were the best investment I made for quite a while .
So , for everybody that is reading this , get off your computer and start meeting people !
And until we meet again …
Be healthy and smile !
Hey Ilias! I’m still fighting my cold but will prevail 😉
I agree. Going to events, mastermind groups and trade shows makes a world of a difference. Meeting people face to face is nothing like chatting on twitter or even Skype. And I found , just like you, that our ‘Heroes’ are very willing to reach out and help, give an advice or share an opinion.
NMX alone secured me many interviews but more important – created many new true friendships. Friendships that are making a world of difference for me both in having support and a community of like minded friends, and in business advice, connections and relationships. There’s no way to put a price on that!!!
I go away from each one of these meetups with invaluable friends that I could never have met and connect with otherwise. Each one of the trips I made in the last 12 months (Australia (Ed Dale mastermind), Los Angeles (ePub conf), Vegas (NMX) and UK (Chris Ducker’s mastermind)) proved to be crucial to my growing as a person and as a business owner. You are one of this invaluable people that I am very, very happy to have met!
TL:DR; Go to events. It’s crucial to your business and is amazing fun.
Very inspiring and clever. I am hopeful that my own mission to add value and pay it forword with the largest legal services content site will gain traction utilizing your podcaste framework.
Thanks for hosting, I like the tid-bits of advice you sprinkled in about Podcast do’s and don’ts
