Overload! That's what it has felt like the last three days. So much information, so much new knowledge, so much sharing and communicating, and so much FUN!
A couple of times a year the Allen Hainge CyberStars® get together for a conference, and this time Orlando was the destination. In between fabulous meals and running from one air-conditioned space to another (it's hot and humid out there!), I learned so much that my brain is overflowing. Teri Isner did a wonderful job of putting this event together in her home town of Celebration, FL – and then shared enough information to fill up two days alone. Thanks, Teri!
I could hardly keep up the typing of notes with all the suggestions from Mary McKnight about blogs, websites and what Google wants to see. Tim Kinzler shared innovative ideas for networking and staying in touch with clients(he was responsible for the beach ball). Brad Korn talked about the latest in digital cameras, Jo Ellen Nash had great information on luxury marketing, and Sven Andersen told us about cool gadgets that make great buyer gifts. When I looked around, I could see that others were having as much fun as I was, including Tim Burrell, James Nellis, and the lady who made my computer happy, Wynne Achatz. Wynne was one of the four original CyberStars, and she made it possible for me to have breakfast with my husband that first morning when she took over setting up my tablet PC. She shooed me away, saying, "Just go. I have the exact same PC, I know what to do." Where else but with the CyberStar(tm) group?!
As usual when this group gets together we found great restaurants. One of the evenings we enjoyed paella served by our waiter, Brett, at The Columbia Restaurant with Darryl Baskin, Lee Congdon, and Tim Kinzler. I met one prospect who didn't have much to say…I think this one's going to be a "tough as nails" customer!
Allen Hainge is the power behind the CyberStars – a special thank you to Allen for creating the group and inviting me in. I've learned so much and made such wonderful new friends. Now the challenge is taking all the new information and finding ways to put it to work in my business. That will keep me busy until the next time the CyberStars shine.
