Tired but fired up!

I apologise for not posting sooner from the Double Birthday Bash in San Antonio.

But, you see, I have not had any spare time since I got here.

It’s an incredible environment.  An awesome lineup of speakers.  People buzzing with what they are learning.  Joint venture deals happening in the hallways and lounge areas.

I personally have 18 typed pages of notes… and there is still another day to go.

And that’s just on the speakers that I was able to listen to.  I have been talking to people about the Big Ticket Home Study System and learning about their products and businesses.

And even better, some other folks showed up for the Double Birthday Bash that were were great marketers but were not speaking.  e.g. Wille Crawford, Mark Braunstein and Mike Filsaime were all in attendance.

I personally did not get to bed before 2:00am every night I have been here.  The workshop runs from about 7:00am to around 7:00pm each day. There are networking lunch breaks and some other short breaks but it is pretty much non stop for that time.  Even after we quit for the day, we still had some organised dinners together just for fun.

On Friday night I attended an informal hot seat panel from 10:30pm to 1:30am!  I can’t say more about it yet because it was recorded and will be turned into a product.  But it was awesome.  The panel brain dumped on the topic and everyone in the room learned a lot.

I’ll probably continue the theme of Big Ticket Tools when I return from the Double Birthday Bash.  Based on what I’ve learned at this event I’d like to at least talk about copywriting and affiliate programs.

I did learn one special technique from Ted Nicholas who’s business cards says: “I turn words into money”.  And this has nothing to do with copywriting or marketing both of which Ted is famous for.  I’d like to pass this tip onto you so that you can use it for yourself or with your families.

The next time you want to get a great seat a restaurant here is what you do:

“Can we get a great seat at your restaurant because we are celebrating tonight”.

 

Most places will go out of there way, even if they originally told you they were full, to accommodate you.

 

And of course if you are celebrating something you can tell them what you are celebrating if they ask. If you aren’t celebrating anything in particular, you can simply tell them that you are celebrating your existence, the fact that you are still alive and enjoying life day to day.

Ted swears this works time and again.

I hope I’ll have time to post again tomorrow or the next day.

Thanks for reading
