A Ready Retreat is a workshop that allows attendees to take a step back from the day-to-day and learn about valuable strategies and tools that will allow them to be ready to attack their work and life with a more balanced, efficient, and effective approach. First off, let me describe what a Ready Retreat is and why I chose that name.

With all of the responsibilities and flow of communication and information coming our way, there’s good reason that this notion exists – and his held by many. You need to learn how to manage your tasks first, then you’ll be in a far better position to manage your time. But there’s a way to escape that notion. How do we do this?

Chris Brogan’s talk was the perfect break to start off Sunday in that he warmed us up through entertaining us with information and informing us through entertainment. The lessons learned. Let me touch on that huge gesture first, because it was huge on so many levels. It gave us a great springboard for the second day.

Those blogs are worth their weight in gold (unless you’re the kind who learns from the School of Hard Knocks). It’s hard to learn as much from the ‘perfect’ bloggers – and their message eventually starts to sound like a string of platitudes. However, it’s not a good thing either to be sloppy.

Listening to Experts is Expensive When new business owners believe faulty information they find on the web, it costs them a great deal. Every business owner should put all his energy into social media and making sure people like him. He buys courses in how to use social media because he thinks clients must like him.

It’s certainly courteous to inform readers it’ll happen, and of course if the reader doesn’t want to play by those rules, then that reader doesn’t have to. Thanks for your information interesting read. Experts tell us we learn in spirals, NOT in straight lines. It’s delusional. No one made you a deal.

There’s so much information around us that we filter it out just to keep sane and focused. There are numerous ways to get your copy to stand out, and online where there is information overload if you don’t make your copy stand out, easy to read, and accessible then people are just going to mosey on by. Think about it.

So they try to be do-it-yourselfers, learning from blogs, ebooks, and other sources of free information.

I know many people look down on them, but the truth is that they usually haven’t put in the time to make it work right or learned how to make the system work for them. Use social media. However, you’ll have a huge learning curve in doing freelancing. Do use sites like Elance. Saves massive amounts of time.

It’s not a bad idea to keep an eye on what the success stories are up to today, but if you’re really looking to learn something useful (and reduce your stress levels), then you need to go back in time. It might just be that the person you think is making it is just very good at playing the social media game, but not at making any money.
