April 18, 2008 by Liz Leave a Comment

14 Days! Don’t Miss the Boat!

Summer of George

Music, Mics, and City Lights on the Water
Christine Kane and Open Mic on the Lake and the RiverAs we leave the dock on the “Summer of George,” we’ll transition away from the travel, information, and noise to begin the weekend. Christine Kane start us off with a musical conversation. Then Open Comment Night will be a question or two. How is a blogger like a musician? Got a question you want ask? Got an observation? Bring them along. The breathtaking views from the river and lake will ensure that you’ll never forget that you’ve been to one of the most beautiful cities in the world. No worries. We’ll make sure you get a chance to enjoy them.

That night and the whole weekend is about YOU — the attendees — and why you came.

What Makes a Healthy Investment?

April 9, 2008 by Liz Leave a Comment

Understanding Return on Investment

SOBCon08 Logo50

The hardest part of building a business is the signal to noise ratio. Every second someone offers something to tilt our sails in another direction. What keeps successful business folks unwavering and always on course?

Serious businesses are future oriented. They chose how they will grow and plan a way there. That growth is viewed through a lens of return on investment. The return keeps the path moving forward.

A healthy investment is built on three major parts:

  • a flexible, realistic vision for growth
  • an actionable plan based on tested models that mitigate unnecessary risk
  • a support system, including advisors, to keep the vision and investment on an upward track

It’s easy to throw time and money to the wind, hoping they will grow.
A healthy investment builds in strategic controls that generate a more likely and higher return.

What sort of investment have made in how you want to grow?

SOBCon08: Who Could Ask for More Value Than That?

March 27, 2008 by Liz Leave a Comment

SOBCon07 Was Something Special

SOBCon08 Logo50

From the minute the first of you showed up at the Sofitel. It was like magnets. No one was alone. People found each other and started to talk. A few found us and immediately the conversation began. We just watched as people jumped right over the small talk to get on with knowing each other.

You even said thank you in a most awesome way.

Generosity of spirit is viral. Picture 110 people in a hotel ballroom, all generously sharing business ideas and secrets, building on each other’s creativity, and offering their experience as a gift. I can’t remember the last time I was in a space where that kind of spirit abounded on such a large scale. Conflict tempts us to hold our cards close to our vest, to be cautious, to be stingy with our warmth and spirit. That stinginess begets more of the same. Generosity of spirit is so much easier…all we have to do is make the choice to do it. Thank you, my fellow SOCcon-ers.–Tammy Lenski

This year had to be even more. How could we offer less than that?!

SOBCon08 Magic — It’s What Happens In One Room

We set out to build a conference that had all of the values of a great blog. Thank you, Brian Clark for pointing out what Tony D. Clark said about that.

Thank you, too, to Chris Brogan for a great peek at what you’ll be talking about — one of the best social media documents on the web.

The value only begins there. . . here are just a few more presenters.

    Anita Bruzzese
    Lorelle VanFossen
    Chris Garrett
    Dave Bullock
    Liz Strauss
    Wendy Piersall

Every one of them is handing over something

Then, of course, there’s you. You’re coming together from Scotland, England, Denmark, France, Mexico, and Canada. That’s going to be one incredible room of international experience.

Models and Mastermind Teams that build to a Plan. A support system that goes deep and lasts long — maybe a lifetime. Who could ask for more value than that?

Are you coming? Can’t wait to see you.
