Today, I’m just making a quick little episode about events. I’ve got this on my mind at the moment because I’m coaching a few people in <a href="http://www.silvercircle.com/?utm_source=SFB&utm_medium=post&utm_term=SuperFastBusiness&utm_content=post&utm_campaign=SFB27Feb2017" target="_blank">SilverCircle</a>, and they run events.<br> They run high-level events. I’ve been doing debriefs. A friend of mine, Kyle Gray, called me up and he wanted to talk to me about events and what’s involved with those. It sort of brought out a few memories. I wanted to share those because I think the story around that might be interesting as I’m in the lead up to my own event, <a href="http://www.superfastbusiness.com/live/" target="_blank">SuperFastBusiness Live</a>. That’s actually the 12th event, the big event that I’ve run over a decade.<br> There are probably some ideas that I could share with you that might help you if you’re thinking about running an event, that’s why this might be interesting. I’ll cover some specific differences that I think are different about the events that I run and how I advise my students that maybe if you’re running events, you could see if there’s something there for you.

Before, we used to encourage people to bring a laptop. My very first event was pretty much a nightmare to organize. I thought that I would sell maybe 10 or 20 people a ticket to this event from stage at World Internet Summit. But it turns out, there were 550 people in the room at this event, and I had over a hundred people come along to my event. There were about 130 something people. They were bringing along their laptop. I had to organize WiFi.<br> I was going to show them how to research a niche, find a product to promote as an affiliate, get an affiliate link, and then write the sales copy, find an image, put all of that onto a website, and make it go live on day two. I was told it was impossible. ‘This is not going to happen.’ But with the help of my clever friends like Dave Wooding, who is a genius technology guy, and Sean who helps me out with my events, we managed to bundle together some software that helped people build a website online. I was able to get a server from Liquid Web, and I was able to hook up WiFi somehow. All of the students were able to build a website.<br> My guarantee, by the way, just in case you’re wondering how I made the offer so compelling,
