What to Do 30 Days Before a Conference (Like ICON) to Feel Prepared and Confident

eWomenNetwork’s Annual Conference, ICON, is less than 30 days away. This article will help you begin your preparation now with clarity and intention. And best of all, the tips that we’re sharing today are universal and apply to any conference you might have on your horizon.

There are several reasons why we love preparing at the 30-day mark, but the most important is that it gives you plenty of lead time, allowing you to walk in feeling ready, clear, and energized. Remember, you don’t need to have everything perfectly planned; you just need to have a plan! .

Here is a list of what to do to get ready for a business conference around 30 days before you attend. We’ll have a follow-up blog post in a few weeks with last-minute prep ideas. 

Set Your Intention and Conference Goals

Before you fill in your calendar, pause and ask: What do I want this experience to do for me or my business?

Do you want to:

Grow your network? 

Gain clarity on a specific part of your brand? 

Feel inspired to level up in Q4? 

Make a bold ask or pitch? 

You don’t need to have it all figured out. But setting one or two clear intentions will help you filter the noise and focus on what matters to you. 

Try It Out: Write down your top two conference goals and keep them visible either on your phone screen, in your journal, or pinned to your mirror.

Prep Your Brand Materials (Now, Not the Night Before)

This is the perfect time to refresh, not reinvent. Review your current brand assets and make sure they reflect who you are today. 

Business cards (yes, they still matter) 

About section of your website 

Social media bios that clearly communicate who you serve 

A simple, natural intro that feels like how you’d talk in person 

Try It Out: Schedule a 90-minute “brand check-in” this week. Get your business cards re-ordered, update your bio, and polish your intro so it feels clear and confident.

The Missing Framework That Helps Passionate Entrepreneurs Build Profitable Businesses

Today, we are excited to welcome LuAnn Buechler, one of our Premier Success Coaches, to the eWomenNetwork blog as our guest writer. In the article below, LuAnn shares a formula we can use to ensure our pricing reflects our true value. Welcome, LuAnn! 

You are passionate about what you do. You are driven by purpose. You want to make a difference—and make a living doing it.

And yet… something still feels off.

You have tried the strategies, the planners, the courses. You have put in the hours. But the consistent growth—and the income, you know is possible still feel out of reach.

You are far from alone. Passion-fueled entrepreneurs often follow all the advice but lack the structure to fully support their vision. The solution lies beyond more hustle—it is a simple, powerful framework that helps you stay aligned, focused, and consistently moving forward.

That is exactly what I offer through the Make Your Passion Pay Playbook—a set of core business-building principles that every entrepreneur deserves, yet many never fully implement. This framework fills the gap between inspiration and execution. It gives purpose-driven entrepreneurs the roadmap they need to create sustainable growth while staying true to their vision.

Let’s explore the four aspects of this framework that have helped countless entrepreneurs turn their passion into profit.

1. Your Business Needs More Than Strategy - It Needs Soul!

There is no shortage of marketing tactics, social media trends, or productivity tools. You can download free checklists all day long. But none of those matter if your business feels disconnected from your truth. Your authentic soul.

The entrepreneurs who create lasting success do more than implement strategies—they build businesses that reflect their deepest values, purpose, and vision. Their success stems from alignment and concise action.

My dear friend and mentor, Dr. Ivan Misner, founder of BNI (Business Network International) says “Culture eats strategy for Breakfast.” No matter what strategy you apply, with no soul, no culture, your business will struggle.

When you build from the inside out—with a foundation that honors who you are and what truly matters to you—you unlock a whole new level of motivation and clarity. Suddenly, decisions become easier. Marketing feels more authentic. Clients are attracted to you and your energy because your business reflects the real you.

Soul-centered strategy drives the kind of success that builds culture and feels deeply fulfilling.

Quarter 3 Checklist For Busy Business Owners

We’re stepping into Quarter 3, and whether you feel ahead of the curve or like the curve has been chasing you, this is your opportunity to pause, reset, and realign. 

 Q3 is a season of refinement. Summer often brings a different rhythm, which makes it the perfect time to look at your business with fresh eyes. The momentum you build now can carry you through the rest of the year with clarity, intention, and results. 

This checklist is designed to help you clear the clutter, tighten your focus, and stay consistent, without adding more to your plate. 

1. Reconnect with Your Yearly Goals

Before you sprint into strategy, take a moment to zoom out. Revisit the goals you set at the beginning of the year. What still feels aligned? What needs to evolve? 

Ask yourself: 

Which goals are already in motion? 

Which ones no longer serve my direction? 

Where do I need to recommit or adjust course? 

Try It Out: Choose one goal to focus on for Q3 and outline three simple benchmarks to help you stay on track. 

2. Refine Your Offers

If your calendar feels full but your sales feel scattered, it may be time to simplify your offers or refine your messaging. Your audience craves clarity and so does your business. 

Ask yourself:

Are my offers clear and easy to buy? 

Am I solving a problem that my ideal client still cares about? 

Do I have a seasonal offer or lead-in that aligns with summer or early fall? 

Try It Out: Audit your offers page or services menu. Remove anything outdated and spotlight what’s most aligned right now. 

3. Refresh Your Visibility Strategy

Visibility doesn’t mean showing up everywhere; it means showing up with purpose. If your content feels inconsistent or disconnected, Q3 is a great time to re-establish a rhythm. 

Ask yourself:

Where is my audience spending time this season? 

Am I showing up with the kind of content I want to be known for? 

What can I repurpose instead of recreate? 

Try It Out: Choose one weekly visibility anchor (a blog, newsletter, podcast, or post series) and recommit to it for the next 90 days.

4. Re-Engage Your Community

If engagement has dipped or your list feels quiet, this is a good moment to reconnect. Summer is slower for some, busier for others, but either way, a warm, personal message can reignite interest and conversation.

Ask yourself: 

When was the last time I asked for feedback or insight? 

Have I shared recent wins, lessons, or stories? 

What can I offer that adds value without asking for anything in return? 

Try It Out: Send a personal email or DM to your top clients or audience champions. Ask how they’re doing and what they’re focused on right now.
