Ok, So What's The Catch?

I'm sure some other Ky/Ind/Oh/Tenn cleaners received this offer in the mail. Funny thing is after I had already ordered it my wife seen it on the news and said she would like to go to this motivational thing she seen, later in the day my tech brought it up also. I told them I had already ordered the tickets. I'm taking my entire staff! All 3 of us for $9.95! lol

I figure that each speaker may get 10-15 minutes. There must be a catch!
I figure it will be like a time share meeting. We'll just to have to steer clear of all the gimmicks. But, it has to be worth going to, heck every motivational speaker will be there with the exception of Howard.

Any other cleaners attending? Maybe we can get together for a handshake during lunch.

Expect the full court press for books, CDs and programs. Just like our industry's infomercial's at Connections or nearly any day from the "so called" marketing gurus on ICS any day. :shock:

I've been to the Get-Motivated seminar 3 times. Just take a note pad and write notes, screw the books.

Colon Powell is hilarious, so was Dick Vital. I took a lot from each time with at least half a note pad full of notes.

It's not all about books. They really want to market to you and make you vote republican. That is what it is all about.

If they are targeting small businessmen wouldn't they be already speaking to the choir?

I would go to listen to Lou Holtz, then leave.

I didn't know where young Daniel was coming from.

There is a famous saying from Churchill the goes- "“If you're a Conservative at twenty you have no heart, if you're a Liberal at forty you have no brain.”

Well call me a cold hearted bastard...

ive been to one. Really a great experience. The selling comes from the speakers that fill in between the main events. Not bad though and unless your gulable you will have a great time.

I have a business, I make money, I have no time for this crap

none of these people are real small business owners.

Agree.

The one I went to there was 1 or 2 live speakers that went about 10 minutes each. The rest were live and in person - by video.

It was somewhat fun, somewhat entertaining, and somewhat inspiring. About the same experience as reading one of these marketing books while Eye of the Tiger plays in the background.
