Things I Learned at jvAlert Live Denver - Part 2

I know I promised I would give daily updates. But one of the things I learned is that you can't go to presentations all day, network all night, and still be coherent enough to write. The human body requires at least a few hours of sleep per night - or at least when they do when they are as old as mine. And so I told myself I would share everything the minute I got home. But Mother Nature and the electric company had other plans. If you've been following the news then you know our little corner of the country has been battling storms and flooding and power outages. But the sun is finally shining and I have cleaned up the mess and repaired most of the storm damage and now at last I have time to sit down and write.

Fortunately, the information you get at jvAlert does not go out of style.  The people you meet there are experts in their fields and what they share has real lasting value.  So even though it is late, it is not TOO late.  So here it is:  Things I learned at jvAlert Live Denver Part 2!

1.  If you are an author - or if you aspire to be an author - you need to be at Author 101 University in October in Las Vegas.  If you want to know what publishers are looking for, how to get your manuscript read even if you haven't published a thing yet - and meet David Hancock of Morgan James Publishing (shameless plug for you David!), register now. 

2.  Your brand is the way your core customer should feel about your business.  Be focused and consistent in your message and people will remember.  Present yourself differently each time and no one will know who you are.  (Honey and Blaine Parker - Slow Burn Marketing).

3.  People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it. (Richard Weiler - eVision Marketing).

4.  If you take care of your customers - above and beyond what they expect - they will take care of you.  (Ray Edwards - Direct Response Copywriter, Speaker, Author, and Marketing Strategist).

5.  Outsourcing = Freedom!  (Daven Michaels - 123employee).

6.  It is possible to greatly lower the risk for diseases often thought of as an inevitable part of the aging process. (Kay Rice - Nutrition and Meditation Expert and Yoga Instructor).

7.  By eating one button a day of a mushroom you can reduce your risk of breast cancer by 64%. (Aimee Piacentino - Holistic Health and Wellness Coach).

8.  Learning to juggle can change your life forever!  Don't believe me? Just ask Larry!

9.  You can pack a survival kit in an Altoids box!  Don't believe that either?  Just ask Survivor Jack!

10. We all have an impact - whether we want to or not.  (Ken McArthur - Internet Marketing Expert and Creator of Impact).

This is just a small portion of what I learned and only a representative sample of the wonderful people I met at jvAlert Live in Denver.  But it's enough to demonstrate why these events are so valuable.  The next one is in September in Scottsdale, AZ.  It's not to late to register.  Don't miss out!

Things I Learned at jvAlert Live Denver

I am at jvAlert Live in Denver.  For those of you who aren't familiar, jvAlert is a fabulous conference hosted by the equally fabulous Ken McArthur.  They are held all over the country several times a year.  I have been attending whenever possible for many years and owe much of my success not only to the actual content provided at the conference, but also to the networking that happens before, during, and after the conference sessions.

I love sharing the information I get at this event.  It is so valuable that I want everyone I know to benefit from it.  And so I will be blogging the highlights of what I have learned each day.  I hope you all get as much use from it as I do.

Today was the first day.  There weren't any workshops or presentations scheduled today.  Joel Comm held his one-day intensive workshop.  Unfortunately, I slept through it.  Not that you aren't an awesome speaker, Joel.  But 23 hours without sleep is about my limit.

Even so, there were lessons to be learned today.  I will share them with you now,

1.  If MapQuest tells you the trip takes 12 hours, plan on 15.  Even without stops.  Except for potty breaks.

2.  At 5280 feet, things behave differently.  Shampoo erupts from its bottle as soon as you flip the lid.  Your clothes steamer only does half the amount of clothing.  Face cream continues to flow like lava from the tube even when you are no longer holding it.

3.  There is a cut off time for maid service.  And it is possible to sleep through it.  Especially after a 23 hour day.

4.  No matter how well you plan, there will be a crisis at home just because you are 15 hours away.

5.  Adrenalin, Attain Bars, and coffee will keep you running long after you should be in bed!

6.  Once you join jvAlert Live family, you can never leave.  It's sort of like the Mafia.  Once we have you, we keep you.

7.  There is such a thing as an App Entrepreneur!  Who knew?

8.  Duct tape fixes everything.  Just ask Survival Jack!

9.  The Dull Men's Club is alive and well and living in England.  Except for their spokesperson who is here in Denver.  Trying not to get too excited.

10.  You never know just who or what you may find at jvAlert Live.  But it will always be fascinating, entertaining and sometimes even useful!

More lessons tomorrow! 

I Know You Want To So Let's Make It Happen!

Let's get together at the big jvAlert Live Event. I'm going and I know that you want to go too, so let's make it happen.

If you can get there, it will be a "win-win" situation for both of us.

There's just nothing like meeting face to face and we can talk about all kinds of ways that we can work together.

Not only can we get together, but I have some great people to introduce you to.

So, what's holding you back?

Maybe it's the "boss." Everyone's got one for sure. Maybe the spouse or significant other?

Look I know the feeling, because I have someone that watches the purse strings pretty carefully too.

They want to know the bottom-line, which is ...

Money.

Ah yes, that money stuff! I've got a few opinions on that subject!

You can get all THREE days for only $695 with the Early-Bird Special. Compare that to other conference prices!

Ok, now that the money part is solved, what about the, "What am I supposed to do while you are off having fun at your conference!" objection.

No doubt about it, jvAlert Live is FUN!

So ...

Bring the spouse and kids for an adventure, while you write off your expenses as a business deduction!

Remember, the proceeds from a SINGLE joint venture could cover your costs.

Here's a quote from Jane Mark and Phil Basten to their newsletter subscribers talking about the results after they attended jvAlert Live!

=================

"We went down to Philadelphia to meet with a group of marketing experts just to brain storm, kick around ideas and make some lasting friends and Joint Ventures."

"To say it was prosperous would be an understatement. We have already made JV's deals from that event that made us over $25,000 in two weeks. Not a bad days work and that was only a start."

No wonder they are coming back for more!
