Beer & Pancakes 2008 Info

Andres:

I read your IM via email. That makes a TON of sense, assuming the old guy is insurable.

As always, I had a ball meeting everyone.

I'll still never understand why there aren't 20,000 people at these gatherings.

So many people are willing to spend $500+ to go listen to sales pitches...
...yet aren't willing to spend $99 to listen to 20+ professionals teach and open their books to them...
...and that includes the lunches! $99.00!

Maybe we need to go to $500???

Imagine a surplus and what to do with it????

But, funny that you mentioned it.... Microsoft here in the area used to have free seminars every month or so. They were ghost towns; I was going and seeing 15 people. Then they decided to start charging $100 and then the place was packed.

Maybe more people will see it as more valuable that way. In any case, 27 or so was fine for me, I got a chance to talk one on one with almost each of you. I even got a chance to talk a lot to the attendant that is NOT part of the forum, go figure!

We finally made it home LATE last night. Don't have much time now, but will post tomorrow re: feedback, etc.

Thanks for the awesome weekend everyone....

and.....

Legacy Dad......... about Megan.

She is the best darn employee one could ever have!

You are so right about that!!!! I feel like such a dumbass for not changing my plans and attending! When is the next one?

mtnman,

Don't beat yourself up about it. Learn and don't repeat the mistake! And use what you learn and apply it in all areas.

I thought this was mentioned during the various discussions this weekend. I think it was MJ. His word might have been premium. You don't want to be the lowest priced (or free). Charging more implies value, exclusivity, ect.

Hi all. I got back home around 9:00 pm local time. My brain was fried from all of the knowledge and energy I received from being in Phoenix. Thanks to all of you for sharing you ideas. It was awesome to be in the company of so many authentic doers rather than big hat/ little horse people. My wife was picking my brain from the moment I walked in last night. I had to ask her if we could have a time out so I could just rest. I was so impressed by the teamwork of Sonya and Doug. My wife now wants to sit down with me and plan our next few actions. This is so cool. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing about all of your successes. Good luck to all.

Greg

That is great news. Having her involved will make a big difference.

Hey Andres. Great meeting you. I have got to say that you have a quick and sharp mind. You, my friend, are destined to for a bright future. Did your deal close like you wanted? Good luck in the future.

Greg

Thanks for the compliments.
No, we haven't closed yet, probably Friday for what I got today, thanks to a change in the deal that is beneficial for me.

Hey guys! Quickly popping in to say - Vegas is nothing after the meetup - it's true what they say - the company you are with is a lot more important than where you are or what you do.

Thank you all for coming and sharing your thoughts, I have notes written down for each one of you!

To those who couldn't make it but wonder what the experience was like - ask anyone participating - the energy was absolutely amazing, I haven't seen people this friendly, supportive, open and most importantly INTERESTED in a long time!
