For those who work virtually, and even some who don't, we can easily get stuck in a comfort zone of learning and networking solely by email, phone, teleclasses, and internet and don't always find a way to get out to a live marketing, networking, or educational event or workshop. And there's SO much more that one can get out of a live event that you can't get from online networking and learning.
This is a list of the BIGGEST reasons why attending some live events each year is SO important.
1. Meet incredible people that you wouldn't typically meet in your office or on your computer. Attending a live event provides the opportunity to come in contact with amazing people that you may never have had the chance to meet in your office or even while networking online. These people could inspire you, motivate you, become a great colleague, be a potential collaborator, provide support, and maybe just be a new friend.
2. Get motivated and inspired and learn. Being in the environment of a live event is sure to get you inspired, motivated and excited to learn something new. And when an event or workshop is a few thousand dollars (or more), you're likely to make the most of it, learn as much as you can, and meet as many people as you can. Online learning just doesn't inspire one to take the same action and stay motivated as long as being at a live event does.
3. Spend time with like-minded individuals. Chances are the other folks at any live event you attend share some common goals. They may have similar businesses or interests in personal development. They may share the same desire for success. And to share a room full of like-minded people provides such amazing energy.
4. Get our of your comfort zone. There's something to be said for stepping out of your comfort zone. When we're stuck in our own area of comfort and not stretching ourselves, we're not growing. Whether we're happy in our comfort zone because it "doesn't cost anything", we "don't have to travel", we "don't need to learn anything new" - whatever the reason - we're not doing ourselves justice by staying there. Once we step out one time - it'll be easier to do it again and again, and in ALL areas of our lives.
5. Meet potential clients or customers. You just never know who you'll end up meeting at a live event and it could be someone who has been searching for a service or product just like yours!
These are just a few benefits, but there truly are so many benefits to being a live workshop or event. You'll never know until you expand your horizons.
