Great time in Marrakech!<\/p>\n

Quite an experience hanging out with 400 millionaire entrepreneurs under the age of 40.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favourite experience was playing donkey polo – you have to check out that pic:<\/p>\n

Some things I am bringing back from the Young Millionaire\u2019s conference:<\/p>\n

– You CAN get a lot of free publicity<\/strong> if you know how. Hint: Contact the journalists, NOT the editor (Stay tuned for more on this topic) I heard a guy speak who got 3,200 articles, and on EVERY major talk show.<\/p>\n

– Met a lady who plans to be a senator within 5 years<\/p>\n

– Survey<\/strong> your customers for where you’re failing, and where you’re succeeding. (Also your competition’s customers for what they are doing well, and poorly)<\/p>\n

– I would LOVE to do online fundraising<\/strong> for charity. If you have any information or contacts related to this, please post it here on the blog. – I feel called to support http:\/\/www.cuddleparty.com\/<\/a> more actively. I feel this makes a solid contribution to the world.<\/p>\n

– I’m going to read<\/strong> ‘Good to Great’ by Jim Collins and ‘Mastering the Rockefeller Habits’ by Verne Harnish and ‘Tipping Point’ by Malcolm Gladwell. And if you haven’t read ‘The E-Myth Revisited ‘ yet by Michael Gerber, you shouldn’t be running a business. (Ok that’s strong, but you don’t read my stuff to be molly-coddled, right?)<\/p>\n

– Who’s on your dream team<\/strong>? Make a list of your ideal dream team of supporters and mentors, and enroll them.<\/p>\n

– Is it time to upgrade your rolodex<\/strong>? I flew to Morocco, and paid about US$8,000 for the privilege, so I could hang out with people who think bigger (in business) than my current network. And BOY did it expand my thinking. I also went to the Yanik Silver conference in DC to meet people who are doing HUGE things on the internet. So – where will you find the crowd that will pull you up?<\/p>\n

– 1.5 of my new staff members resigned while I was traveling. I was close to being upset, but quickly realized there’s a lot to learn from the experience, and the next incarnation will be even better, and more tailored to what we need.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: I’m now in the Philippines with Dr. Rob and one of my best buddies Nathan. It feels good to be working with two of the people I respect and admire most on the planet. Back to NY May 15, and then I’d like to stay put for at least 6 weeks!<\/p>\n
