Is it 100% Beef?
Investing in our future by investing in ourselves!
Many of us have just returned from a week of networking, learning, and sharing. As I often read I see many who for one reason or another where not able to attend. A regrettable situation and definite disadvantage to sit back and await online for the news of new trends and great ideas. Unless you have a friend who attended you will never get 100% of the Beef online! Even waiting for local networking group meetings to have an attendee share what they have observed is actually a tainted view limited by one individuals perspective.
A consistent trend online has been the sharing of primary topics without the disclosure of detailed features. Look around the boards and you will find many screaming for the features over and over and some armchair quarterbacks attacking some trends with utterly NO knowledge of the programs shared during such industry events. I have given and attend many seminars, workshops and learning platforms over the course of time having never seen the details or beef of the topic show up online.
If you have not attended an industry event I'm advising you to SAVE - Invest in Yourself - You will never learn 100% of the knowledge shared, here online - Most won't take what they have invested to learn and post for others not willing, or see no value, to invest the cost and attend or support such industry events. Some will argue this is a learning form and everyone should openly share and that's just wishful thinking - To many this is a social platform or meeting location to socialize with new and longstanding friends a virtual coc-ktail party with many networking, sharing and helping individuals needing help - However, I don't see individuals sharing competitive advantages - When you invest to learn something that will give you a competitive advantage most keep that wealth of knowledge for themselves.
If you just sit back and expect others to share the wealth of knowledge they gain from personal investment you are missing on great opportunities. If you have never attended an industry event such as the Mobile Beat convention, just past, you really should save, attend and learn what your missing. If you find yourself blinded and confused by industry naysayers who have hidden agendas, misconceptions, or views based on the opinions of chair and hotel room counters who spew venom on the industry due to internal hatred focused on a few, you are being miss-lead.
If you want to get ahead and learn all the industry has to offer - save and attend the Mobile Beat convention next year - Don't sit back and take the leftovers, attend and get 100% of the beef!
