I can’t even imagine an adequate one word intro to start this Blog with. Wow…seems lame. Amazing…seems inadequate. Thrilled…seems silly. Insane…well now…I might be onto something there! Insanely, amazingly thrilled…wow! How ’bout that? That might better explain it. Explain what you ask? Me speaking at WPPI. I couldn’t have even imagined it myself. When I was asked if I would be “interested” I could barely answer without screaming into the phone…“Interested? Are you kidding me? YES! YES! YES!” And then after hanging up the phone I quickly thought “Oh Lord! What have I gotten myself into now?” Most of you know that I am never nervous about speaking in front of a crowd but speaking in front of a crowd at WPPI…that is in a category of nerves all its own. I think it is the simple fact of the company that I will be in that has my head spinning. I admire and respect so many of these speakers whom I have learned so much from. It feels quite surreal at this moment to see my name even in the same text as theirs. I will do my absolute best to hold my own in the company of such greatness. However, I would be flat out lying if I said that I wasn’t at all intimidated. I am. But I can do this…hopefully with a little support from my friends…and my Mom who is actually coming out to Vegas with me.
I am unexplainably honored to be a part of the SMUG line up at WPPI on Tuesday March 9th. If you are attending, I would love to see your face in the crowd at 2:00 at the SMUG booth! That’s where you’ll find me, speaking about the importance of investing in your clients. This trip was already set to be a memorable one in my business but this notable addition to my itinerary has certainly put the icing on the cake! And an extra cherry on top! My excitement abounds! If you are going to be there please come by and introduce yourself. I would love to say hello to each of you in person. And don’t be surprised when I reach out and hug your neck…that’s just me.
For those of you local to me, I hope that you have already joined my Jacksonville SMUG group. If not, I’d love to have you become a member! We are set to launch on March 24th. All are welcome. There is no fee to attend and you do not have to be a SMUG user…although I have a feeling that you might wanna be after you get a feel for the coolness of this company. Smug Mug rocks. No seriously. They do!
