The Power of Conferences for Entrepreneurs

 

As we relish in the middle of the joy that is ICON 2022, we thought it would be a good time to talk about the importance of entrepreneurs attending business conferences and the outstanding benefits.

1.) NETWORKING. Never underestimate the power of immersing yourself in an audience of like-minded people. Conferences are filled with potential. Potential clients, potential vendors, potential business partners, and friends! Load up on those business cards and wear your smile, because conferences are the place to be for networking!

2.) SPEAKERS. Good conferences do a great job at curating diverse speakers that educate, inspire, and entertain. Being able to see a CEO, Senior Vice President of a major technology corporation, Fitness Influencer, Television Producer, and Branding Icon in a single conference is pretty darn amazing. Every conference is different, but the best have a lineup that makes you go WOW.

3.) SPEAKING OPPORTUNITIES. So many entrepreneurs are (or want to be) speakers. If you’re looking to get on more stages, go look at those stages! Shake those hands and watch those talks! You’ll learn a lot about the kind of content and speakers organizations are looking for by being there in person.

4.) TRAINING. Once we leave school, it’s easy to assume our education is over, but good entrepreneurs know better. Leaving school only means that you have to seek out those opportunities for valuable learning, collaboration, and workshopping. Conferences are an amazing way to do that!

5.) FUN. Entrepreneurs work hard. I mean HARD. Filling your creative and mental well is so important and it can be hard to find those opportunities to do so while building and running a business. Conferences now only provide you with valuable learning and networking opportunities, they also allow you to step out of your usual space, take a breath and have some fun!

How Our CEO Does Self-Care Pre-Conference

 

ICON 2022 is a magical time. But it’s also one heck of an undertaking here at eWomenNetwork. In the time leading up to conference the days are long and brains are bursting at the seams with all of the overflowing to do lists. The eWN community is filled with entrepreneurs who know that feeling well. For you, that time could be tax season, right before an important retreat, the holiday season, etc. It’s different for everyone! With such a busy community of successful entrepreneurs, we figured it’s the perfect time to share with you some of our CEO’s favorite self-care treatments to prep for ICON 2022.

Sandra Yancey recently spent the day at Beauti Science, a Dallas area Med Spa who will be part of our first ever Beauty Lounge at ICON 2022. They’ll be offering services at ICON and we are THRILLED to have them as a partner.

Here are some of Sandra’s favorites:

Botox. This magical little needle does more than just reduce signs of aging. Did you know it also has been proven to stop migraines, reduce excessive sweating, and reduce joint pain? And that’s just the beginning. But perhaps the most immediate benefit of botox is the years it takes off your face with no surgery needed. Everyone has different feelings about the aging process, the most important thing is that you feel good about yourself.

PRP Facial. Otherwise known as the “vampire facial”, the PRP Facial utilizes microneedling. Microneedling is a pain-free, non-invasive way to stimulate collagen production. In addition to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, this treatment also helps with sun damage, rosacea, and has been known to shrink pores. A great service for people of all ages, this facial is a great way to give you a CEO glow.

PDO Thread Lift. A non-surgical alternative to a face lift, PDO thread lifts tighten and lift skin using PDO threads made of protein and are thinner than a strand of hair. An outstanding way to treat sagging skin without scaring, results are maintained for six to eight months after the procedure.

Everyone practices self-care and beauty regimes differently. There’s no right or wrong way, but when you’re getting ready to network and show off your business, the best thing you can do is give yourself the gift of feeling good and relaxed. When you feel good about yourself inside and out, you can conquer the world!

Are You Productive or Just Busy?

Productivity: The effectiveness of productive effort, especially in industry as measured in terms of the rate of output per unit of input.

You’re busy. You work hard. But are you productive? No, they’re not the same thing, and even if you are rocking your productivity game, there’s always room to improve! Let’s find out how:

Stop glamorizing multitasking. You may feel more productive when you’re juggling lots of tasks, but don’t let your brain fool you, it’s taking longer to get things done and studies have shown that focusing on more than one task at a time results in lower quality work. One thing at a time is the way to go if you’re looking to maximize your productivity.

Respect deadlines (even the ones you set for yourself).  While it’s good to give yourself extensions when needed, if you do it too often it’s easy for deadlines to become arbitrary. And when deadlines become arbitrary, it’s time to admit it: you’ve become a certified procrastinator. Procrastination dressed up as multitasking is still procrastination, folks. RESPECT DEADLINES.

Set SMART goals.  What are SMART goals you ask? Specific. Measurable. Attainable. Relevant. Time-based. Specific: You must have clarity! Measurable: Your goal needs to be trackable so you can see your progress! Attainable: Don’t set impossible goals! Relevant: Does your goal align with your short- and long-term objectives? Time-based: Set a realistic, ambitious end date! Shooting for the stars is admirable, but when it comes to your productivity, think through each letter.

The biggest tasks come FIRST. It may seem more attainable to knock out the little things first, but is it more productive or are you just making excuses for procrastination? Tackle those big things when your brain hasn’t been overworked from a million little things yet!

Make meetings work for you. The first question you must ask yourself: is this meeting necessary? There are a lot of memes about whether a meeting could’ve been an email, and those memes exist for a reason. Once you decide a meeting is essential, begin each meeting by clarifying the purpose and intent of the meeting. Upon conclusion, review the actionable items each attendee will complete as a result of the meeting.

How to Make Your Website Stand Out From the Competition

 

When you’re an entrepreneur, you know you need a website. It’s been a long time since websites were optional for businesses, but there are a lot of websites out there. So, how do you make sure that you have a quality website that stands out from the crowd?

CLARITY

People need to know who you are and what you do in as few words as possible. When you’re an entrepreneur, it’s easy to go on and on about what you do, because you’re passionate! But potential clients want copy short, sweet, and CLEAR. Obviously, there are exceptions to this depending on the industry you’re in, but for the most part, your website should limit lengthy paragraphs. Say it with me friends: short, sweet, and CLEAR.

NAVIGATION

There are two kinds of people in the world, scrollers (those who just keep scrolling till they find something they want) and tabbers (those who skip ahead and search for what they need using the tabs and links you provide). You must keep both in mind when writing and designing your website to be sure you’re reaching as many potential clients as possible. You don’t want to lose them just because your site was designed for a different kind of “Googler”. Setting yourself apart can be as easy as providing a great (and simple) user experience.

VIDEO

The rise of video isn’t limited to social media these days. People expect quality video content pretty much everywhere they go. Short form video content is the new king, so budget for quality production and be strategic on where to use video on your site to best get across your message. Studies show that video keeps people on websites 50% longer, so use this to your advantage!
