I can’t say enough good things about the business trip I took with my mom and sister last month. The trip was really the perfect way to spend a few days away. The company I was with left me with a ton of new perspectives and new ideas. The conference calls, lunch with the CEO, and the trip to the airport all helped me grow, even if the rest of the time was hard.
When you have to leave your office at the office conference calls, you can’t really say “goodbye” to your coworkers and be happy for them. It feels like you’re walking away from all the best work.
When you’re at a company conference you can’t really say goodbye to your coworkers and be happy for them, what you can do is think theyre happy for you. I think that’s what’s really awesome about conferences and other large group events, you actually have a chance to do this the whole time. You’re not just sitting at a table with your co-workers, but being a part of the people you’re talking to.
One of the best ways to do this is to think, “Is everyone here happy for me?”. If not, then you might want to get the hell out. Either way you’re probably going to have a great time.
The reason that you should go to these conferences is because theyre fun. And theyre also a chance to work with people you don’t know very well. The point isn’t to work. The point is to be with people you dont know, and have fun doing it.
This is a fun thing to do because its a chance to meet and get to know people. And because you arent doing work. For most people, this is a good chance to work on ideas that they have for their own future and/or careers. For me, it is a chance to meet new people and have fun. I think its great.
This is all we got, but it is good to get together once a year for a few hours and have fun doing it. You dont always get that chance in your day-to-day life. Thats why you get to pick the time. The point is not to work, its to be with people you dont know, and have fun doing it.
There are two ways to work on ideas youve got: work with others and work alone. The latter is great if you have a lot of time on your hands, but if you get too overwhelmed by the idea, the former is great too. In the days of the early internet, the internet was a place to get together and talk about what you were working on. It was not a place to start a business or to do work on your own.
This blog is for sharing ideas, not work on it. In the past I’ve done a bit of both, and it can be hard to tell which is which. But I like to think that I’m more of the former. I know it’s hard to feel like you have to pick a specific time for your ideas, but it’s really important to get out and do things with others that you’d rather not do.
If Im honest, I know I have a lot more work to do on my own than I do anywhere else, and that’s a good thing. If Im honest, I know I enjoy the ability to work from home and have some control over my own time. And if Im honest, I know that Im more than okay with that, because I know how important it is for other people to have the ability to work from home.
