Quick question: Will you be conducting more live events or online events in 2019?
Greetings fellow business owners! This may or may not apply to you but I'm curious to know, in 2019, will you be getting out to conduct more live events (i.e. speaking, workshops, etc.) or the opposite?
While I can appreciate many platforms that we utilize, I believe some face to face is necessary. Social media has taken much of that away, texting eliminates face to face conversations even when you're in the same room, and email is the only way some folks will chat with you vs picking up the phone or sitting down for coffee. I also enjoy video chatting vs the phone :-)! Yesssss, facial expressions and body language says a lot.
So, I vote for more face to face events this year! Ok, at least one per month or quarter...Have fun!

Online events mainly! I can work with people in US and Canada much easier on zoom! This strategy has served me well over the past few years.
Absolutely i have more live events that will be scheduled. i will post /announce them when dates are confirmed. There is one happening next Tuesday, Mar 12,2019 that has limited seating when one of ACN's co-founders, Tony Cupisz will be here to share the vision of this organization. This is a must see event. Contact me for details. xxx.xxx.xxxx or xxx.xxx.xxxx
Quick answer: No.
Hope this helps!
Hello Karen, I do appreciate your enthusiasm about live events and in certain businesses there is almost no other way. The real question becomes that almost area. Because live was previously the only way available it is easiest to collect together informational data about these events including number of attendees and associated costs. Getting into that area of almost and collecting information from here is much more difficult. My first suggestion would be trying an evergreen webinar with an online pre-registration. The pre-registration saves the attendee data and any front costs are optional. Evergreen permits viewing and times convenient for the viewer. Q and A are via managed text or email depending upon the platform being used. I have also seen these done on a regular schedule with Q and A done via phones and/or cellphones.
Yes, I would like to offer webinars and Live Q & A sessions. I am learning how important it is to connect my face to my business.
My 2019 focus will be more live events. Additionally, I am open and receptive to collaborative opportunities

My fee is $5,000.00 to do a live presentation of "Lets Talk About Stress". This includes my travel and lodging.
Face to face is best and I prefer that. A live video presentation is my second choice.
