So what’s the big deal about attending big events like your company convention or other generic business development events?  Are they worth your time, money and energy?

Well, I just got back from my primary company’s quarterly event in Tulsa, Oklahoma and what an amazing event!  If you don’t get out to business building events, you could be missing out!       

Here’s the thing.  It’s easy to fall into a slump in your self-employed/ home business.  It requires lots of self-motivation to keep your business active, energized and profitable on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.  I have found there to be incredible power in business building events.  They are designed to get you moving and turbocharge you into more action.

So here is why I believe they work and why you need to get plugged in:  

1.  You get to experience the big picture!  In your own hometown, its a local view rather than a global view.

2.  You will tap into remarkable leadership training!  And get motivated by the amazing success stories.

3.  You get to network with like-minded people!  And some will even become life long friends.

4.  And of course, you’ll absolutely have no choice, but to have some fun!

5. And depending on the location, you get to travel to cool places (as a business expense)! 

So plan NOW and invest in yourself by attending a big event at least once or twice a year.  I have made a commitment to attend quarterly events so my thriving business grows well beyond my wildest dreams!

My next big event is Feb 16-18, 2012 in Dallas, Texas.   How about you – when is your next big event?
