I went to VeeCon 2024 and all I got was this shirt. Not really. I also got a ton of inspiration, motivation, reinforcement, knowledgeable insights, and new connections for both business and life. I heard from industry leaders, incredibly knowledgeable speakers, awesome musicians, and fellow attendees who had inspiring stories to tell. Over 3 days of constant learning and encouragement I walk away feeling as if I was in the right place at the exact right time, meeting the right people and hearing the right voices. The biggest message I received from multiple speakers was to not wait, take big action, bet on happiness, and solve for peace. Life is too short to live in unhappiness or regret when you have the power to change it. Gary V was amazing. Lewis Howes was awesome. Mike Posner was inspirational. Flavor Flav was encouraging. Arianna Huffington was insightful. Josh Duhamel was motivational. Sawetee and T-Pain were entertaining. I walked away motivated and recharged to not only go after my dreams and goals but to realize them and see huge successes happen in my life. I walked away knowing I will be a huge success at whatever I set my mind to next, that now is the time to dive all in, and I already have what it take to see goals through. There is so much more I could say about the weekend but I can sum it up by saying VeeCon was an incredible experience. This is why I say you should continually go to events, meet people, and experience new things. This is why during 2024 I have been committed to going to live, in-person events happening all around me. I walked in not knowing what to expect from VeeCon 2024 and walked out with both my heart and my mind full. |

It’s a new year. Many people are changing jobs, starting a business, engaging in new routines, committing to the gym or a diet, or engaging in a brand-new hobby or activity. Some of those people (as I have heard from the language they use) feel as if they are starting over and starting from zero. They speak as if this is the first day and they are beginning this new phase or new venture with absolutely no resources to pull from. This is not the case, ever. When you begin a new venture or a...
2024 has been a difficult year for many people. So many companies faced the decision to let go of a large portion of their employees. Entire industries shifted and their workers have been impacted leaving many people looking for new opportunities of employment, or supplemental income. When I look back over both my own professional career and my entrepreneurial journey most of my opportunities have come directly from my own network, not from a job board, an agency, or a platform. My direct...
It was in the audio recording from Earl Nightingale I first heard the quote from George Bernard Shaw. “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.” In that audio recording The Strangest Secret, Earl credited this as part of his definition of success. Focus on what you want, care enough, and pursue...
