It totally sucks to have missed fincon this year. Please fill me in and don't hold back. I want all of the scoops.

Anyone make a fool out of themselves?

On my end, I had to stay back, but all is good. My brother is out of ICU after his surgery and I completed a half-marathon.

Any update on next year?

I didn't see anyone making a fool of himself or herself. The keynotes were interesting, the panels were good, and the people I talked to were all really nice and really interesting – and I got a few good leads on projects.

The big takeaway for me was to post less and promote more, then develop more systems for automating the blog and/or having my VA do more.

No word on next year, but it will be on my calendar as soon as it's announced!

Nobody made a fool of themselves, and you weren't there…  coincidence? ;)

 

Glad to hear your brother is recovering well.  Fincon was excellent, as usual.  The bootcamp was the highlight for me.  Lots more small group sessions there.  Went to several sessions during the full Fincon that were very good.  Jeff Rose and Caleb Wojicke(sp?) were two that really hit me hard. 

Still trying to process all the information, as usual, so might have more to add later…

The best part for me was meeting that crazy messed up dude running some random website called Beating Broke. He was the M$%#$ – F%$#ing Sorcerer…… (We played this terrible game called Cards Against Humanity one night and that was a card in the game. I'm not sure I've laughed harder at a table with 15 friends in my life.)

 

My take: I ended the conference with 11 pages of "To Do's" for Stacking Benjamins. If you haven't been to FinCon, I think you're missing out on a conference that pays for itself within minutes by helping you improve your vision, your writing and your marketing more quickly than you could believe. Last year I noticed BIG changes in my stats within a week of FinCon.

That's nothing compared to the messed up guy who brought CAH to Fincon.  I've never played that in public before.  That alone was worth the price of the trip.

Yeah.  The look on the poor waitress' face everytime she came over at an inopportune time…

Very well said, Joe.

The very best part about Fincon is what it does for your vision and your motivation.
