In January of this year, I was invited by Action Plan Marketing Guru Robert Middleton to attend an Info Guru Summit of top contributors from across the nation.  Honored to be invited, I gladly accepted and spent the weekend with successful business owners who share a commitment to serving others through a wide variety of marketing expertise.    I am convinced beyond measure that attending events packs a powerful punch for inviting new relationships that can help business grow and make life better because I have experienced it first-hand in abundant ways.

Just since January, successful joint ventures between me and Radical Marketing Founder Tad Hargrave, Master of Enrollment Coach Bill Baren,  and Tips Booklet Queen Paulette Ensign have taken place to add value for our respective communities and all of our businesses.   And the “Done for You Sweepstakes of the Century” starts on Monday during which over $250,000 in “done for you” services to build and support your business will be given away.   I would have never been invited to participate in this amazing event had I not been in the room with that remarkable, successful collection of business owners at Robert Middleton’s kind invitation in January.

That’s why I am sharing this excellent blog post by Michele PW that appears on Nancy Marmolejo’s Viva Visibility Blog today.   Her message?  You must attend events to grow your business.

I would add to Michele’s post to be aspirational when you make your event choices.   Attend events where you are truly honored to be in the room.  Along those lines,  I like what Oprah Winfrey once said.  “Surround yourself only with those who lift you higher.”

Speaking of which, the Publici-Tea™@Sea is coming up August 8 – 15, 2010.   Why not treat yourself to a luxury cruise to Alaska with 200 very successful business owners and see what magic can manifest in your life and business while you are having the time of your life?   It doesn’t cost a penny to learn more.  Robert Middleton will be sharing essential marketing wisdom along the journey, and other experts will be adding to the conversation.   Sounds pretty fabulous to me.  How about you?
