The line up for Day One Speakers included Darcy Miller, Liene Stevens, Carla Ten Eyck, Michelle Rago, Eddie Zaratsian, Randy Fenoli, Matthew Robbins, Simon T. Bailey and more. I'm still going through all of my notes but these speakers are the cream of crop who shared so many tips.
Tip: Don't be afraid to quote you price - bottom line, charge what you are worth! AMEN to that one.
Mindy Weiss had me cracking up laughing! She showed the funniest video (camping trip with her son in a park across the street from her house). Her presentation was so warm and enlightening and shows how much she loves her family (family first) and work (second).
Tip: Surround with yourself with people that are smarter than you.
This year's event also included breakout sessions with Sylvia Weinstock, Sean Low, Bryan Rafanelli Mark Niemierko and more. It was so much fun to be up, close and personal and to speak one on one with each and every one of them.
Tip: Find balance between work and home.
