3 Big Reasons to Attend a Live Small Business Workshop
It's unbelievable that people from all over the world attend an
Online Marketing Workshop, hoping to improve their own small
businesses.
Ever wondered why these people would leave the comfort of their
own homes, as well as their families to cram into a meeting room
with a bunch of strangers for two full days?
The answer...
They know they don't have all the answers and they also realize
the benefits of attending a small business workshop.
Let me share with you 3 reasons you should attend a small
business workshop for online marketing in your area, perhaps
Dallas, Fort Worth or another city in Texas.
1. Dynamic Content
When I attend a well-organized workshop or seminar, I am
astonished at the amount of content the speakers give in their
talks. Last weekend, I came home with a notebook full of ideas
and notes that I could implement immediately.
Many speakers freely share their online marketing strategy at
business seminars. Since the speakers are entrepreneurs
themselves, they know what the attendees need to start a small
business or take their small business to the next level.
2. Contacts You Won't Make With E-Mail or the Phone
It is amazing to me how a weekend conference allows small
business owners to network and find others to make joint
ventures. When I eat lunch with other entrepreneurs, I usually
always walk away with a new tip or a partner for a new
project.
Just last weekend at lunch, I found a new way to promote a
conference I am hosting and my husband found a partner for his
new project. Networking is definitely a bonus when you attend
business conferences.
When you rub shoulders with other entrepreneurs and small
business owners, you make friends and contacts with people that
"get it". Too often, those in the 9-5 job arena just don't
understand the benefits you receive when you have your own
business and they surely
don't understand the freedom and
control you gain when you are your own boss. Attending a small
business workshop allows you time with others that do "get it".
3. Incredible Access to World-Renowned Speakers
Think about how difficult it would be to call a nationally known
speaker and visit with him about your small business. These
speakers freely share the strategy that made them successful in
the first place.
Most speakers spend the break time in the hallway so you have
full access to them and their knowledge. No more waiting for a
returned phone call or e-mail. Just walk on up to them and ask
your questions.
Bonus Tip: Attend a Small Business Workshop on Uncle Sam's
Money
Most business workshops, seminars and conferences are
tax-deductible. You will need to check with your CPA, but I
suspect you can write-off your small business workshop as a tax
deduction. Hey, what a great way to travel the country and
improve your bottom line, all on Uncle Sam's tab.
Why get second hand information when you can attend a LIVE event
with these experts and ask your own pertinent questions? Start
looking for a small business workshop nearby...check the major
cities - Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles or Fort Worth. You ought
to find a workshop just for you, one that provides a plan and
online strategy for your own business. Who knows, you might even
find a low-cost seminar nearby.
