The Value Of Live Events



The Value Of Live Events

October 26, 2024

It seems like everyone is doing live events lately. Network marketing companies have been doing them for decades. Everyone who has a software platform (SaaS companies), and coaches of all types are hosting conferences, trade shows, workshops and seminars, and large annual conventions/conferences.

The live event has gained a huge amount of popularity in the post covid world where people grew tired of virtual events. Virtual events are still a popular low cost alternative for both the host and the attendee. A lot of events are doing a hybrid version where you can attend live or buy a virtual ticket. BUT, and this is a big but, there is no comparison to an actual live event where you can meet the speakers, get face to face with other people in business, and network.

This past week(yesterday) my wife and I hosted our annual live leadership event in west Texas. This is a small event with 50 to 100 people attending. But there is great value even in a small event. As the host of the event you have the opportunity to show a room full of business people what you do and how well you do it. There is always the potential to generate new business.

Learn And Grow

As the attendee or as the host it is a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow. While you are learning and growing you have the opportunity to meet and get to know new people that you could potentially bring into your inner circle or your sphere of influence.

During our event I observed many people making new friends and business contacts, and exploring new business opportunities. These are almost always good quality connections.

Every time we host one of these events in the two weeks leading up to it I always tell my wife we are NOT doing another one of these after this one. It’s a lot of work that takes time away from normal business activities. That explains why this newsletter is a few hours late this week. But once the event happens we always step back and look at how well it went and decide maybe it’s not so bad. We learn how to improve every time we do one.

Attending?

If you are sitting on the fence about whether or not to attend a live event let me give you some encouragement. Go ahead and do it as long as you’re doing it for the right reasons. Invest in yourself, go to the event and learn everything you can and meet people who will be a positive influence on you and your business. If it’s a multi-day event and the event is taking place in a hotel stay in that hotel. Most of the people attending will be staying there and there will always be socializing and networking after the days activities are over. If you stay in the cheap hotel down the street to save a buck you will lose a lot more than you save. Have an abundance mindset when you attend these events.

Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Another value of a live event is it can chip away at your comfort zone. You will have to step out of your comfort zone at various point during the day. As I often say, your comfort zone is your enemy. Here is another chance to kick it to the side and grow beyond it. There is nothing to fear. This is one place where it’s completely normal to walk up to someone and put your hand out to shakes hands and introduce yourself. Could be a random person or someone you have intentionally targeted to meet. Don’t worry about your fears. Nine-tenths of them are not real!

Is Your Business Sellable? December 7, 2024 What is the ultimate intent for your business? Do you know? It’s a good idea for any business owner to have an exit strategy even if you plan to keep it forever. And by the way no one keeps their business forever. Everyone quits their business one way or another. You either sell the business, you leave it to someone like children or your spouse, you lose it in some kind of legal wrangling like a divorce, or you just shut it down and walk away for...

Being Different November 30, 2024 I know that many of you out there are tired of trying over and over to find success. I get that way too sometimes. Sometimes we try new things but we go about it in the same old way because that’s all we know. Maybe the problem isn’t what you try. Maybe it’s how you go about it that’s the problem. Tony Robbins is fond of saying “If you do what you’ve always done you’ll get what you’ve always gotten”. He’s exactly right. Yes, you can look at how other...

The Area In Between November 23, 2024 The Area In Between There is an area between being poor and being rich. It can be thought of as a transition area. There are those who are transitioning up from poor to rich and pass through this transition zone. And there are those who are considered rich who for a variety of reasons have slid back down into this zone. Traversing this area can be difficult and dangerous. It’s where we take risks, where we overreact, and where we let fear into our...
