I Have To Shut Up For A Change

In my last post, I said that to find new and interesting ideas you should force yourself to try new things. On January 23, I'm putting that concept into practice by keeping my opinions to myself for a day.

On that date, I have the distinct pleasure of filling the role of Master of Ceremonies (which means I must talk, but I don't get to say anything) at "The 18 Percent Solution -- Avoid The Pain Of Business Failure And Win The Race To Success."

It's amazing how much I learn when I zip my lip -- I've learned a ton just by watching this group of dynamic experts and professional speakers collaborate to create a totally unique learning experience that is unlike any conference or training event I've ever seen.

And the really cool news -- as Master of Ceremonies I get to offer the people I know a discount if they want to attend.

Here's the opening blurb for the one-day conference:

The U.S. Department of Commerce reports:

• Only 18 percent of businesses see a 10th anniversary.
• Those that make it do so by seeking knowledgeable help.

Let our powerhouse lineup of business experts and professional speakers be your pit crew on January 23, and we'll help you win the race to 10 successful years.

If you're in (or can be in) St. Louis on January 23, and you want to learn exactly what it takes to ensure that your business sees its 10th anniversary, then here's how you can save $40 off the standard conference price.

1. On or before January 3 (when the early-bird discount ends) visit https://secure.yellow-tie.net/register-stlouis/
2. Fill out the form
3. In the [Special Instructions] field type: Wagner
4. Pick the member's rate for the event

If you decide to attend and are traveling to St. Louis, let me know and I'll hook you up with hotel information that will make it a smooth trip. (We can even enjoy dinner together the night before if you like.)
