T’was the Night Before

Here I am in L.A. at the Westin near the airport. My room is great. I have a view of Century Blvd. and just outside my window there is a big billboard displaying a huge photo of Kevin Bacon. He looks good.
The "Building Your Mega Speaking Empire" conference begins in full fiery force tomorrow morning, 9:00 am and it’s pretty much non-stop until 6:00 pm on Sunday, November 6. I just picked up my heavy binder of material and my name tag, which I have to wear to get in anywhere, and I’m looking through the program schedule.
It’s as I suspected. It’s all about money. The focus of this convention is how to make millions as a speaker, which is not a bad thing. I was just hoping there would be more on creating speeches or presentations that rock and roll, presentations that have people on their feet screaming and applauding and asking for more. I was hoping for creativity as well as millions of dollars.
The good news is that I will get to see these professionals, these Mega Speaking Empire professionals, do their thing, and they should really know how to do their million-dollar thing.
I’m looking forward to seeing Harv Eker, who wrote "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" and gives workshops on the same subject. I heard him on a teleclass once, and he was wild! On Saturday, he’s speaking about Accelerated Learning Techniques: Secrets to Having Your Audience Learn Faster, Remember More, and have Ten Times the Fun.
My friend Victor tells me that Les Brown is great as well. He’s speaking on Saturday as well. His topic is "Step Into Your Greatness as a Platform Speaker: Effective Strategies That Impact Every Audience You Speak To. My mom would hate the grammer of that title.
Mark Victor Hansen, the Main Man, kicks off the morning sessions with Your Future as a Speaking Superstar: Building the 7 Pillars of Your Speaking Empire.
Oh, and there’s so much more. I’ll fill you in as it happens. But now, it’s time to order room service and watch a movie. Man, I love hotels!
Check back tomorrow for the First Day Review!
