A short spoken monologue (YouTube video) arguing that people undervalue investing in in-person events and networking. The speaker contrasts spending ~$100,000 on college with declining to spend $1,400ā$1,500 to attend a two-day event, argues that a single relationship from such events can be transformative, and explains event costs and the speakerās need to charge to cover real expenses.
It's funny. You'll go to college and spend 100 grand and brag about it everywhere, but yet you won't invest $1,500 to come to a room for two days and meet people that can change your life. Learn a better way to do business. Connect with people. Like one business decision, one business person in your group, maybe one investor, maybe one idea. You're literally one relationship away from changing the game. But you got to show up. You can watch these videos and get excited. You can get on a free webinar and get excited and get pissed. Why? They sold you something at the end of the webinar. Well, I don't work for free. Do you work for free? That's. I like to get the investment out of the way up front, especially in events. I have nothing to sell you. I want you to invest in yourself. Actually, I'm investing in you, too. It cost me like fourteen hundred dollars to have you in the room. Each person, if you've ever held an event, you know exactly what I'm talking about. There's real cost. That's money cost. That's not time cost even. I'm not complaining. I'm just sharing the data, not the drama.
