Going To Vegas For A Two Part Whammy!

For those of you who have been coached by Alex Jeffreys during his latest mentoring program have already heard about or are planning on attending a two day power packed event in Las Vegas on May 29th and 30th of this year.  There will be much to be gained by going to this event for me as I have several projects in the works and a recent successful launch of my SimpleEcovers.com site.

I want to thank all of you who have taken the faith to trust me with your graphic design and for that I am grateful.  I haven’t made a killing or anything but the work has been steady and some of you are still waiting for completed projects.  All I can ask is for you to please be patient with me as this is a major “Fail forward fast” moment for me.

Most of us in the internet marketing world still have day jobs, or in my case a night job and do the online thing in our spare time only after we are motivated to find something else to supplement our “non secure” jobs that sustain us from day to day.  I know many of you are in that same boat as me and are currently doing something about it.  Just know that it does take time and please be patient.  It’s so worth it.

The relationships I’ve made with many of you are so much more than customer based.  I consider most of you my close online friends and will get a chance to thank you in person in Las Vegas at the end of this month and look forward to talking with you face to face and getting as much video as possible.  “Plus a few JV Partnerships wouldn’t hurt” LOL

Alex’s mentoring program has helped me so much to just get it going and I thank him for that.  I am sure his seminar for the two days will be hyperactive as he is and his guests will be just as entertaining and informative.  It’s going to be a blast I’m sure.

The next two days folowing  Alex’s event will include me joining an elite group of people getting first hand experience with the Butterfly Marketing script as Mike Filsaime and his colleagues train us and help us set up live, our Butterfly Marketing sites.  I could do this on my own so the money I spent on this is purely for the contact and getting myself out there, seen, and known.  Not to mention I’ve never done anything like this before in my life.  How exciting!

Ironically, in this months issue of Mike’s “The Best Damn Newsletter” this is his number one choice he gives for the reason why marketers are successful.  “Going to events” will do more to your business than any online thing you choose to do.  Direct contact still remains one of the biggest if not the biggest form of branding out there.  The most successful and most profitable JV partnerships occur from the interaction at these live events.

So I must be willing to take off my shy suit and start to communicate more and be memorable.  I must be willing to approach people and introduce myself.  Remember what Alex told us.  He kept asking questions and tried to meet as many different people as he could.  Just look at him now too.  What an example to all of us he is and I can’t wait to shake his hand and let him know what a great guy he truly is.  And I plan to do that to most of you as well. 

Thanks to all of you who give me instruction and who help me to succeed when others just go on worrying about themselves.  It will come back a hundred fold as it has for me.  Thank you, thank you, thank you to some of my friends and customers…..

Gary Simpson, Garry Parkes, Thom Swartwood, Nikki Stephens, Adam Spiel, Chelsea Filan, Sean Beardmore, Dave Pumfrey, Sandra Rodriguez, Harry Harris, Dan Blackburn and many more for chosing me to do some of your projects for you.  It’s fun to work with you and for you.  I wish you all success and hope to see you in Las Vegas.  Until next time…”Hopefully face to face.”
