Well it is only a couple of days now until I fly to Melbourne to get ready for the Beechworth Conference and as usual I still have slides, diagrams, and naked pictures of Ed to prepare for the event. Now apologies in advance to all those attending… I don’t do the usual conference style of presenting. I am not sure if that is a good or a bad thing, but personally, I hate conferences.
(not really selling it here am I)
Ok, let me try and write that one a little better… I hate big conferences, pitch fests, and a thousand people in a room all trying to hand out as many business ‘networking’ cards as possible. Really I do.
But these are all the same reasons that I am really looking forward to Beechworth. A small event, a couple of dozen people and their partners, a chance to hand out cards (well you might as well), a bit of social, and a monster learning event!
Couple this with a few Vodka’s and Coke’s and we are going to have a craik. (and let’s not forget the Spa and the Beechworth Bakery)
Not only is this a chance for us to build a friendship in gold rush city and Ned Kelly land (Tourism Australia Ad to be placed here)… but…
We have some amazing stuff to teach over the three days, techniques that can literally make you millions this year, skills that other people will be teaching in two years time, so, thank you for attending, I am looking forward to meeting you all, and we are going to have an amazing couple of days…
Now back to my presenting… Well best not, I do want you to turn up after all.

Ah, Dan, I luv your presentation style! The “casualness” factor plus the uber cool teachings you and Ed deliver, which I experienced at Whistler Bootcamp (Best.Seminar.Ever.), make it the truly fun and educational experience it should be. I have been officially spoilt rotten and will never (I repeat, NEVER) survive a typical stuffed-shirt-corporate-zombie-style conference again!
(have I mentioned how truly *bummed* I am that I can’t make it to Beechworth?! ;-p
Have a V&C for me,
sigh…
