Free AwesomeCamp Demo Session
By Luke Murray
Okay, so this whole idea of a week of ludicrous speed business growth seems to be a bit tough for people to wrap their heads around. I feel you….that makes sense.
If someone came to me and said ‘Hey Luke, I’m going get Awesome Inc to go from 100mph to 400 mph starting basically…now!” I would at best be a bit skeptical and at worse just flat out not talk to the guy.
I’d probably be a bit defensive too, “Have you seen how hard we work? I mean, we put on 4 mobile conferences in different cities in 2 months! What…are you going to help us put on 16 in the same timeframe?”
Fine – we get it. So we decided to show you what’s possible in an action packed hour that will simulate just one of the 70+ you’ll be putting in in the 6 days of AwesomeCamp.
We’ll go through the 1 hour long ‘clarification’ process that we do with almost everybody that I help when it’s ‘on purpose’ (read – they actually scheduled some time to meet with me with a clear agenda so we could make some progress).
This session will be just a small taste of what the week will be like, but in it we’ll be able to DELIVER VALUE in a whole bunch of ways right off the bat by helping you with:
Prioritization – What are you wasting your time on that doesn’t matter? THIS STEP ALONE IS WORTH EVERY DIME OF THE CAMP’S COST! It could help you shave weeks off right away by simply NOT doing a whole bunch of stuff you think you need to do but actually don’t.-
Infrastructure – You can’t do every job…so how do you delegate and outsource the others? The answer: Build infrastructure – we’ll show some examples and help you build some of your own.-
Motivation – Worried that you don’t have what it takes – we’re going to get you pumped up AND we’ll point out several people that have LESS talent and potential than you in a lot of ways that are making it happen!-
Networking – Want to connect with people that are serious about making their ideas happen? Well, why don’t you meet them here? That way you can keep in touch with them and if you don’t go to AwesomeCamp you can just have them teach you everything they learned ;)-
MORE – We’ll have a few fun/funny surprises for you…but that’s all I’m telling you for now….
So that’s it! Monday, June 28th at 6pm - come to a value-packed free event (that we’ll be streaming live and posting later for those that can’t make it). Get a taste of how AwesomeCamp is going to go down and see if it’s something you want to do this summer!
See you there! Until then…follow rule #26 Never let stupid things keep you from doing awesome things.
Passing the Torch, Taking a Bow
For those of you that haven’t known, I have been behind the scenes at Awesome Inc. running the social media campaign as a volunteer for nearly a year now. I did it in hopes of meeting great people and seeing tech and/or creative communities grow in Lexington. The experience has been wonderful both personally and professionally as I met some great people, some who turned into clients for my graphic design business, and some who turned into valuable colleagues.
During my time at Awesome Inc., we were able to reach some pretty big milestones in the social media space as we achieved over 1,000 facebook fans, and 500+ twitter followers; we also began live streaming events on the social web and responding to viewers in real-time. Something no one was doing at the time in Lexington, KY.
At some of our events, we even experimented with the audience live tweeteing their questions on a screen behind the speakers.
I also introduced the hashtag to Awesome Inc. and perhaps its greatest use was on twitter during the Awesome Inc. Mobile Conference in the summer of 2009. A great community was formed and conference attendees were able to keep up with what others were doing during their time in Lexington, KY. The conference was even later renamed and rebranded based on the hashtag #mobilex for “mobile lex”.
My time at Awesome Inc. has indeed been awesome, and it was as a pleasure meeting and interacting with most of you; unfortunately all good things must eventually come to an end.
With the recent birth of a son, my growing design business, as well as Social Media Club Lexington, which I founded in 2008, it’s time for me to gear my focus elsewhere. Therefore it is not without some sadness that I am announcing my resignation from Awesome Inc. I am bowing out gracefully and leaving it in good hands as Dave McGee will be the new Social Media Director. He is very knowledgeable in the space and will do a mighty fine job.
Thank you all for the experiences and conversations. Please feel free to stay in touch.
Kindest Regards and Rule #4,
