3 Tips to Maximize Your Next Live Event

February 23, 2017

You’ve heard me say it before, but one of the best things you can do for yourself and your business is attend a live, in-person event. I call these "full-immersion" events, because you're stepping away from everyday life and immersing yourself in the training. Personally, I’ve made it a point to attend at least one full-immersion event every quarter, and I’ve been doing it for years.

When you attend these kind of events, it allows you to really focus on what matters…

Here are three tips to maximize your next event:

Tip #1: Choose Your Events Early

You’ve heard me talk about scheduling before, and you have to put the MOST important things on the schedule first.
Putting down the events you’ll attend, vacations you’ll take, and the other important things means they are a priority.
Also, by choosing your events early, you’ll typically get the best pricing and ensure you get tickets before they sell out.

Tip #2: Come Prepared

Immersion events usually have a certain kind of person in attendance….
These are people just like YOU who are also committed to personal and professional development.
Make sure that you come with a stack of business cards to give to these people!
Also, be sure to bring a pen and paper so you can take notes.

Tip #3: Take Action After the Event

Attending the event is incredibly important, but the REALLY important part is doing the work after you leave.
After I attend an event, I take time to process my notes.
I go back through and look at things I wrote down and develop a plan.
This plan will help me take the knowledge I just learned and apply it to my life and business.
It isn’t enough to just learn the information, you must take action and apply it.
