228: Why Attending Industry Events is Profitable with Michele Williams

How many of you go to an industry conference at least once a year? On our podcast today, I am just returning from the International Window Coverings Expo. And I'm going to share with you 10 things that really stood out to me while I was there.

Topics Mentioned:

• Industry Events

• Learning

• Travel

Key Thoughts:

• Not everyone is looking for the same thing.

• Authentic connection requires you to block out the noise in the room to ask questions and listen.

• Real business decisions are made.

• Energy and excitement for the possibilities is create and restored.

• Not everyone thinks alike – you will find some like you and some very different.

• Laughter in the course of doing business is good medicine.

• Friendships that are made at these events can be very real.

• Vendors want to help us.

• There is as much education over dinner or drinks as there is in a classroom or on the vendor floor.

• These are important events to attend.
