It’s time! You’ve spent YEARS building your skill set and building your reputation as a leader in your field. You’re ready to convert your knowledge and skill set into a viable business and share your passion with others in the form of a live event or workshop.
Few experiences are as fulfilling as getting together with other people, united by a shared passion and commitment to improving at a specific skill. Aristotle once said “teaching is the highest form of understanding,” so not only can you start making money by running your own event, but you’ll also gain an even deeper understanding of the subject you are so passionate about. But how do you even begin to put this together? As you start moving around the puzzle pieces, it can get overwhelming. Fast.
In today’s episode we’re joined by AOC Director of Operations Liz Bartholomew to discuss:
- Where to begin in the initial planning stage and how to set realistic expectations
- What to look for in a venue and what you need to know about it to prior the event
- Pricing principles and how the loss leader strategy can serve as a springboard
- The key milestones and tasks that must be achieved before, during, and after the event
