Weekend Marketer Live

Last weekend I drove to Las Vegas for Connie Ragen Green’s first Weekend Marketer Live event. It was a privilege to take part in the training and learn from Connie and other fellow marketers. Connie is a former classroom teacher, real estate broker, and appraiser who decided to change her life and came online in 2006 and has built herself a very successful online business. She loves to share what she knows and help other aspiring entrepreneurs.

Live events are not only an opportunity to connect with someone you have been following online in person, but provide you with the opportunity to meet others who understand your passion and are just as serious about having an online business. Our businesses may differ, but meeting in person provides unique opportunities to connect and perhaps partner in ways you might not have envisioned before you attended. Not only that but we have a lot of fun. Marketers know how to have a good time! After a day of training and workshops we all got together for fabulous dinners and downtime. Because it is October we had a great time at a German Restaurant and Beer garden and since we were in Las Vegas had a fabulous buffet dinner at the Mirage Hotel.

I highly recommend attending live events and connecting with others. Most provide tremendous value, especially when you select people like Connie, who strive to over deliver and provide additional speakers to share their expertise. They can be exhausting, as this was a three day event, 8-6 everyday, and dinner in the evening. And then of course you are back in your room attending to your online business for a couple of hours.

Make sure you plan in your budget to attend a couple of select events a year to begin with. They will enrich your life in surprising ways.
