This week I am in Orlando with the visible inner circle and I have to say that being around these humans makes me just want to be better , not just for myself , but for them as well , and I believe that there's nothing that can compare to in-person .
Now we can get pretty close with the online space , but being in a house with I think there will be 11 of us total for several days is just a game changer . There are opportunities to have group conversations , right Like everybody together . There are opportunities to have sidebar conversations , two to three people at a time .
There are opportunities to have one-on-one conversations with me , and so I can get to know my clients even on a deeper level . I've met all of them except one , so I'm super excited that I will have met everyone in person in my inner circle except one person , but I'm gonna make that happen sometime soon . So if she's listening , just hope she knows that .
But anyhow , and I just think it's so special , it's just so special . Yes , we're real and we're human and we're on video and we're visible and we're doing all these things . But being real life with someone , if you can make it possible , do it . That's all I'm gonna say .
I originally had two in-person events throughout a year with my inner circle scheduled , and about a year and a half ago they really wanted more in-person . They got so much done they felt like a million bucks and I was like , okay , let's do four a year and let's do that . And they were game and so we decided to have one out of town .
And so it's great , because the in-person events locally what can happen is , if you live locally to me , it's very easy to run home , get distracted . You know there's a lot of things going on , but when we all travel together , nobody's going anywhere . You might have to go take a phone call , but you're not going anywhere , you're staying there .
And so the vibe is just totally different when everybody has to travel to get to a place , versus the majority of us are locals .
So it's a different vibe and I love when we come together because there's a couple of things that I do , and so if you ever wanna run a retreat or curious about what I do , the first thing I ask is what are your expectations for our time together ? Like , what do you wanna get out of ? What do you wanna walk away feeling ?
What do you wanna walk away having completed ? And I think that sets the tone . And yes , everybody can have a different answer , but I'm just gonna say this I feel like , if you are really in tune with that , that you can pretty much make it all happen . Right , you can pretty much make it all happen , and I also love having one-on-one time with everyone .
I feel like it just adds that additional intimate level . And then also masterminding together , right , like having conversations together , asking the group a question , and so there's so many positives when you get together in this type of situation .
And the funny thing is is that I always I love over delivering and I always wanna make sure that anybody that comes feels like it's worth their time , right , and so when I feel like , why didn't do as much as I could have done ?
Right , but that's not what people want , then you've also gotta set with yourself on that right , because obviously I'm gonna give them what they want , because they took the time to travel , right and so .
But I think what happens is , instead of me standing up teaching a whole group something , it ends up being a little bit more individualized , that I'm teaching and I'm giving them what they need in the moment , and also reviewing content and creating content and reviewing sales pages and helping brainstorm on what the next offer is , and so there are so many little
things , but they're very strategic to each person individually and that also gets to be very , very beautiful in its own right . So have I talked you into finding an in-person event to go to ? Have I talked you into finding a way to get in-person ?
I just think it's really , really important , and one of my goals is to start having more in-person events , even outside of my inner circle , because I do love and miss that connection and I've always wanted to at least have them locally .
But I think there's a lot of opportunities that are going to open up in the coming years because I see the opportunity there and I want to make sure that I'm making time for it , because we do have this crutch where it can be very , very easy to do things online , but it's a little bit more work , right .
An effort to do it in person , because not only do you have to find a venue and and and feel at least enough that you know the seats . That it's enough to , let's say I don't know if I want to say make it worth your time , because that sounds gross , but make it worth everybody's time , right , because there is .
There is value and I'm paying for something , right ? So I'm going to go and I'm going to get everything I can , whereas , oh , this is really cheap , let me buy this . Oh yeah , I don't really feel good . I only paid this much , for there's no reason for me to go . It's not , I'm not waste , I'm not losing that much money , right ?
So there is that energy exchange that I believe , and so it can be tricky , because , even though most people do want in-person events , it's very hard to get people to actually show up . So there is this like balance of it all , right .
So I do love doing it for my programs , I do love being able to include additional people when it , when it can work out or when it can happen . But I will say this again in-person is a different vibe , in-person is a different energy . If you can find a way to make it happen , make it happen if you want to come to one of our events .
We do have one spot left in the visible inner circle as of the recording of this podcast , but I will keep this container small and intimate because it's worked so well .
There is so much support , there's so much community , there is so much love for each other and cheering on for each other and feeling for each other when things don't go like the way that we plan , and so that , to me , is more important than having a mastermind full of 20 , 30 , 40 people , because we've had 24 people in there .
But I can see where the retention lies is because of the intimacy , because of the small group setting , and I think that is beautiful . And so , again , this is just a lesson . This is a quick lesson to throw in at the end . You don't have to create what everybody else is creating .
You can create what you want to create , and my best advice is to find outside of you what you've been in like , get out of the the one thing that you've been doing . Find other ways .
Unless your coach , unless your , your mentor , is like in putting themselves in a lot of containers , like because I'm sure they're gonna bring those to the container that you're in .
But that's one thing that I love doing is not only tip for the education and the learning and other containers and the growth and the stretching , but also what else is possible that I don't even know about , that I've never even thought about , that I can implement and bring into my containers .
And that's one of my favorite things that I've learned , because I have pulled the pieces that I love the most out of containers and that if I could create my perfect container for me to go in , that's what I've turned pretty much all my containers into . So just a little added thought there at the end .
But in person is amazing and , yeah , I just hope that you get a chance to experience it as a business owner for sure .
