Just got back to my room after an exhausting travel day to Vegas. Tonight I went and had dinner with Zac Johnson, Wade Tonkin and Sam Harrelson at PFChangs. Joel Comm was with us, but decided to pack it in early. Probably too worn out from a year of putting the show out.

Then we headed over the exclusive Shareasale/Conversation Group party at the Wynn. Great time. I met so many faces/bloggers I had only previously “met” online. Some I’ve know for years and years. My apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone.

Gary V (the wine guy, we’re tailgating the Browns/Jets game in Dec baby!)
Ijustine (had no idea who I was, heh, sound right)
Andy Beal
Chris Brogan
Brian Solis
Des Walsh and his wife all the way from down under
Sherman
Jim Turner
Tris Hussey
Rick Calvert
Alan Levy

Who else…? I missed Technosailor and the blog squad ladies :(, find me tomorrow please.

I’ve got about 10 videos to put up on YouTube to show everyone. I think I need some sleep though, I’m presenting tomorrow. Gonna be a great show! If you see me, PLEASE say hello.

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.
