Hey Dan here now whether I'm talking to enfps or infps aspiring entrepreneurs or
successful entrepreneurs one of the biggest things I hear from people now is
the struggle to connect with like-minded people that in their town there is no
one who thinks like them that they don't know any other entrepreneurs or any
people with the desire to make a better life for themselves and this is really
quite a shame you may have heard me talk about this before when I first realized
I wanted to be an entrepreneur and live a bit of a different life the number one
thing I did was change my environment was start to go to events and start to
meet with people who shared a very different view than a lot of the people
I grew up with and it was this new peer group that provided me with support
encouragement and inspiration that allowed me to actually take some big
risk to quit my job to go after what I wanted and the truth is that as an ENFP
I'm very influenced by the people around me right I think you know that too if
you share my personality type and so it was really really important for me to
put myself in an environment with other people who were supportive of my goals
and this is why I'm really excited about the events I've been doing the
opportunity to not only meet with you and work directly together for multiple
days but to create a community and actually bring people together so you
can experience the kind of things I did when I was starting out of connecting
with other people who maybe share your personality type your ambitions your
values on life it's been really cool and right now is an exciting time I have two
events coming up one is happening right here in Prague in the Czech Republic
which is happening from June 7th to 10th and the other is in Vancouver Canada in
July now this is really cool for me because these are two of my homes I grew
up in Vancouver Canada and though I've been living around the world primarily
in Europe for the last seven years it's still in a way home so it's an
opportunity to show people that home well creating this really incredible
experience for everyone and of course Prague as you may know
it's the place I chose to stay after living all over the world it's an
incredible City and a great opportunity to create some very unique experiences
and maybe Gabby will put up some photos of the event we hosted in Prague last
year up with the video here to show you just how unique some of these
experiences were so if you don't mind I'll tell you a little bit about these
events the first thing is that both these events have the same theme so
whether or not you join me in Vancouver or Prague should really be determined by
the dates and where you'd rather visit that's it the theme of both events is
around building your dream business and I know it's a cheesy title to be honest
I thought up the event and I didn't really have time to think of like a cool
title and I just said dream business so it's a little cheesy I get it it sounds
like some whatever kind of scammy business thing I totally get it but it
is really appropriate for the event because the theme of the event are about
building a business around your personality whether you're just starting
out or in your first couple years maybe you're a coach and you sort of know what
your message is and you know you want to help people but you've really struggled
to make content to build your tribe to really get a consistent flow of clients
you know you have a message and something you want to share with people
but you're just struggling at taking those next steps or perhaps you're a
freelancer like I started as a freelance copywriter or a designer and you want to
go beyond just work for hour and maybe start writing books build a bit of a
following take these steps that will allow you to charge a lot more for your
work that's what this event is going to help you do it's going to be focused on
building the business around your personality and why I think that's
really important is in the day of the internet if you're sound just like
everyone else if you're doing the exact same thing of everyone else like you're
following a step-by-step system you're going to be in a race to the bottom if
everyone has bought the same Khorasan if you're following templates and trying to
be exactly like everyone else you're just gonna get lost in the noise and
you're gonna be working harder and harder and not getting any kind of
results the other thing is I know that if you're a fan of this channel you
probably have a more interesting personality type
you're probably someone who believes that what you do with your life should
actually make a positive contribution to the world money is not the be-all and
end-all in terms of what's important to you and
so I'm guessing that in building the right business for you having it align
with your values is going to be really important not just so you feel good at
the end of the day but so you feel that sense of motivation for me I can't sell
something I don't believe in I can tell you I'm much more enthusiastic now
talking about these events to you than I was last year when I did my first event
and I wasn't as secure because I hadn't done an event before so I didn't know
what people would think if it would be a great experience and so it was harder
for me to bring it up to sell it because I didn't like I believed I would try my
best to make it a good event but I didn't know yet and now having run three
events last year having had some people go to all three events and receive
really positive feedback from people who attended now I know now I can believe in
what I'm doing even more and have this enthusiasm where I know I want to share
it with you because I know if you come to the event you're going to leave on a
different trajectory than when you came in feeling inspired feeling motivated
having made new connections with like-minded people and having a plan and
insider strategies on how to grow your business someone emailed me the other
day about the event and they said hey Dan I don't want to offend you
I'm really interested in coming to the event in Prague but I'm a skeptic I've
done other programs before and things like that and like straight up what
makes yours different what's gonna be different about this event and I was
really appreciative of the question because it made me think it through and
and think through maybe how I talked about the event or what I can express
better and I came up with a couple things the first thing is that anything
I'm teaching is things that I have done that I have first-hand knowledge in I'm
not teaching something that I read somewhere else or just making some
things up the second thing is is that I really do care about the people that I
work with when you come to this event you'll see they'll probably be 10 to 15
of us at the event whether it's in Vancouver or in Prague it is a small
group and we spend a lot of time together but these events really are
about forming deep connections and that leads me to I guess the third point
which is there is a nice balance of fun and of learning so we'll spend the
daytime in like a training room we're working on strategies working on
building your business and then in the evenings we'll go for dinner we'll go
through a tour of Prague we'll have of course it's Prague we'll have beer if
you don't like beer there's always wine or I suppose something else available
and the fourth thing with my event is I bring in special guests who have a lot
of insider knowledge people that in general I could not afford to have at
the event I've just been really fortunate to have this amazing peer
group of people that I can call on favors with some of the people I've had
out at past events would probably charge like a $5,000 speaker fee to just be
there for the afternoon but have come out essentially as a favor to me and
that's allowed the participants there's been maybe eight of us in a room with
this person getting to spend the day together and learn from them learn
things that you're never going to find online about building a online funnel or
building a YouTube channel this sort of thing so if you're interested in either
the event here in Prague or in Vancouver I'll include links below in the
description you can read more about the event on the page and then there's a
chance to submit your application form I'll read through it myself and if I
think it's a good fit for you to attend the event I'll email you back and we'll
take it from there thank you for watching thank you for your support as
always and hopefully I'll be having a beer or wine or whatever we discussed
that already with you somewhere in Prague or Vancouver very soon. Have an
awesome day!
