EP10: Building Your Brand Through Live Events, with Nick James
Have you ever attended a business or personal development event?
Sure, the marketplace is flooded with these kind of events nowadays, and that’s why it is so important to learn from someone who know’s how to attract between 500-1000 people to his own events, if this is a path you are planning to take to build your own business as a consultant, speaker, coach or trainer.
Nick James started running events back in 2007, where he could fit everyone in the room around one table. With experience, that quickly grew, and within a few years Nick was speaking on stage to hundreds of people at his own events alongside some of the biggest online marketing names in the world such as Frank Kern and Ryan Deiss.
In May 2017, Nick is going to be hosting one of his biggest events to date, featuring one of THE biggest names in the entrepreneurial space right now, the original ‘hustle’, Mr Gary Vaynerchuk. He’s also invited Digital Marketer CEO Ryan Deiss back to London, alongside a host of other experts within the personal brand and marketing arena.
There was a time however, when Nick was sat behind a desk working for a Bank, going through the motions…...knowing that he wasn’t in his ‘natural habitat’. He took action, followed his heart….and has never looked back.
In this episode you’ll learn…
*Why you should think twice before blindly taking the leap from employee to business owner
*Why entrepreneurship will give you high moments you could never achieve in a 9-5, but equally lows which you must learn to deal with
*Surrounding yourself with people who have the same mindset, the same thinking, and are going to help you to develop and grow is ABSOLUTELY the #1 most important thing you can do
*Why you don’t have a ‘proper’ business until you start making money
*There is no limit to the number of people that can attend your events, you are leveraging your ‘time for money’
*The key to managing your part time business around a full time job is consistency
*The two things that any successful business needs to
