They say that you can’t teach old dog new tricks, but you can teach them something new about business. Okay, so the last part is made up but there is truth to it. There are new things about business that are best learned in person at live events.

Live events have so many opportunities, that you almost have to be wearing track shoes to get around to taking advantage of them all. One plus in particular is learning new business techniques. There is not a single person (and that applies to gurus as well) who couldn’t stand to learn a thing or two. In fact, they will probably be the first ones in line.

The person who has stopped learning has also stopped growing. The only limits that are placed on your business are self-imposed. The Internet is a wealth of knowledge for the one who can access it, but did you ever stop to think where that knowledge was received?

At least some of it was gained at live business events. Here, you are exposed not only to people who can expand on marketing techniques that you currently utilize, but also individuals who have found new ways to harness business power.

Stop and think for a moment. Those who host these events are looking for the best and the brightest to entice you to come. These people prove time and time again that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to business.

In case you didn’t know or haven’t thought about it in a while, here are a few things you can take part in and learn from at live events:

• Brainstorming sessions – Imagine the energy in the room when hundreds of entrepreneurs get together at tables to discuss new ways to improve each others’ businesses? Be sure to take copious notes to refer to later and get the names of everyone at the table.
• Visit the vendor area – This is an opportunity for businesses to highlight their products and services. You can learn about new programs computer programs, business software and get to demo items right there on site.
• Keep all materials given to you – Within the pages of those handouts are vital information. Speakers may lay out for you how they go about promoting new products, implement new programs and techniques and list online resources for you. You may want to bring a tote bag or a briefcase to hold everything you will get so it is easier to reference later.

Attend live events with an open mind. Be ready to expect the unexpected and get immersed into business techniques you haven’t tried before.

Kind Regards,

P.S. Want to attend my favorite live event with me this August? The 4th NAMS event is coming up and I’ve got my seat for it already, my cozy hotel room is reserved, and Lisa is going to be my roommate again. I’m just busting at the seams to get there and get started! Attending last summer propelled my business life into overdrive for so many reasons.

Maybe you’ve just been holding out for a coupon code to get a discount off the $697 ticket price and save a few dollars to pay for your plane ticket. Guess what? Today is that day!! Sign up for #NAMS before 5/31/10 using the code NAMS4MAY save $300!!!

Seats are going super fast for this one and the event is expected to sell out by the end of this week, so grab your spot now! I look forward to meeting you in person come August and I hope we’ll be having lunch together at least one of the days of the event.
