Can Local Leaders be Experts

Here I am on the eve of the second Monday of the 11th month of 2010.
There are 15 business days left this month and 37 in the quarter. Not
counting Holidays. That's 54 calendar days. Thanksgiving is just weeks
away. What a time to launch a new product or an event. It's Holiday
time everybody takes off. Right?


Not me! Monday night I'll be in Kissimmee as the out of town expert.
Speaking on the "Fundamental Building Blocks of Business" particularly
as they apply to Business Credit and Capital development.


I'll be doing that same talk a week later in Merritt Island. Same guy,

same material but now I'm a local presenter versus being the out of
town guy. Now the pressures on. My friend Bruce Kuczinski a national
expert and local guy is speaking Tuesday at the Cocoa Beach Chamber
at 3:30 pm on "Keeping and Protecting your Income".


I just watched a couple of local friends of mine. You may know them

Chris McClatchy and Lisa Kay Hansen. They spoke in Tampa at an
out of town event. I was fortunate enough to be able to watch them
on the internet in real time. They were awesome and truly
demonstrated themselves as experts.


How could that be? They are local business people they can't be taken

seriously. I have come to realize that is a common misconception.
Aside from Chris and Lisa I know quite a few national speakers who
live within 50 miles of my house. Does that mean because they are
local they are not experts? The rest of the county sees them as experts.


It constantly amazes me that local business owners don't see national

speakers who are part of our local community in the same light. What
a resource we have right here in our back yard. I don't ever want to
lose sight of that. To go hear and experience them is typically a short
car ride, no airfare, no airport security, no hotel or lodging. Just
awesome content that can affect both of our businesses. And when
it's over I can go home to my own bed. When I think about it, this
is a really awesome place to live.


The founder of the National Entrepreneurs Network Tom Fulmer

is off this week on a Speaking tour. A local guy who is a national
trainer and speaker. When he returns he will be conducting a
boot camp on what he was speaking about on the road "Winning
Presentation Skills".


I'll be presenting and facilitating as usual at Monday Morning

Motivators. It would be great to see you there. I know it's early.
Where else can you start the week off with like minded
entrepreneurs. Monday Morning Motivators is not a networking
event, it is not a leads group, it is not a hello my name is function.
It is a place where you can draw on the energy of other entrepreneurs.
It is a place where you can motivate others with your experiences and
be motivated by theirs. It is a great way to start the week.


I look forward to seeing you there.
