This is the 2015 Louisville, KY event that sold out in less than 24 hours.
An incredible community of online entrepreneurs recently gathered for three days in Louisville, Kentucky. The event sold out in one day months ahead of time, but you can still follow the event by following the hashtag #ces3KY on social media. Join the Facebook group for the event and scroll through to catch a glimpse of the energy.
In the audience of ~550 were some of the most successful, giving, friendly, powerful leaders, students, authors and experts in the world of Internet business.
I can’t hope to express in a simple blog post the mind blowing impact that these kind of event have on every attendee. I feel strongly that we are raising the standard of what an Internet biz conference should look like.
Last year, in his opening comments, our keynote speaker Rabbi Daniel Lapin had us on the edge of our seats – and one of the biggest take aways for most people was the fact that in life as in business and in all other arenas, we are NOT meant to be alone. Solitude is poison, and as Internet entrepreneurs we have to resist the urge to “hide” and try to “go it alone”. Relationships matter in internet business – arguably more than in “real life” because we can be tempted at times to sit behind a keyboard in solitude as online marketers, but that’s NOT OK!
There’s something powerful about face-to-face meetings like CES. Because the core of our audience is made up of such passionate, caring, giving people, the atmosphere is always alive and quite emotional even at times. It’s hard to explain, but from the pics and comments that were posted last year, you can start to get a feel for the impact of events like this.
This is the 2014 CES event in Dallas. As with Dallas, the Louisville event also sold out in a day in an even larger venue!
Excellent, heartfelt post, Jim! I’m so glad we listened to Kat Simpson when she first told me about you and your awesome community of hardworking, dedicated, supportive, loyal, encouraging folks. All of the unsolicited, raving endorsements that people give you as a person and a leader are much deserved. When I first reviewed the conference agenda in advance, I saw Rabbi Lapin’s speech was titled “God’s Portal to Partnership and Prosperity – the Internet”, I had absolutely NO CLUE how that topic was going to tie into anything ecommerce related. Boy, oh boy, was I in for a surprise with his idea that “man is not meant to be alone”! So applicable to so many different facets of my personal & professional life! Thanks Jim, thanks for the opportunity to gain this knowledge and understanding!
Thanks for the feedback Julian – I’m looking forward to working more with you and your partners in the future! I’m so glad you came!
Where do you start? I’m a complete newbie. What are some simple steps.
start out selling on Amazon or eBay. It’s predictably profitable once you have few of the basic skills down pat. My all time best selling book is only $5 on amazon or at SilentSalesMachine.com. That book has helped launch thousands of success stories! Start there –
