My First Business Seminar

Sadly, I returned from my Brian Tracy Seminar last week. I say “sadly” for two reasons. The first is because the seminar was totally awesome! I learned a tremendous wealth of information on how to run my business. I came back both motivated and ready to work. Second, the weather in California was incredible. Warm and spring-like every day of the year. I wondered why I don’t live there.

I had heard about Brian Tracy before, but never had the opportunity to hear him speak live. He was awesome. I truly enjoyed his lessons, examples and stories of how to run a business. He was comfortable enough to share his business experiences with us so we could learn from them. And all his insights were sprinkled with humor and fun! It made for a comfortable, interesting way to learn about our businesses.

What really impressed me about the entire weekend was that before I attended this seminar, I was unsure of the direction I wanted to take with my business, as well as how to accomplish the goals I had in mind. The seminar was held in a large conference room, and within it were about 25 tables with 5 business owners at each. Each person had their own work book that we used to write down our thoughts, ideas and goals. After each lesson we discussed the topic at our table, and came up with one goal that we plan to implement as well as a date of completion. By the end of the weekend, I had many ideas in mind, had written them down, and already had target dates for completion!

The amazing thing about the way the seminar was run was that it really provided us with a chance to brainstorm with others as well as reflect on our own ideas and thoughts. This was a winning combination for handing us the tools we need to grow our businesses in the way we want to.

Finally, I made some great new friends and had a lot of fun. While I was sad to get back on the plane to make my journey home, I knew it was only the beginning of another journey I had consciously chosen to make thanks to Brian Tracy.

That journey is to provide education and knowledge to others, while continuing to do what I love. I am looking forward to many interesting and profitable years running my business.
