      <description>My Conference tips actually worked!
&amp;nbsp;
So Ladies take my word for it these tips will help you Rock your next conference should you heed my advice. My first conference was great but I could have gotten more out of the experience if I was a little better prepared. What’s the saying you just don’t know what you don’t know…
I implemented these tips at my 2nd big baller Podcast Movement 15 Conference in Fort Worth Texas last week and for the most part they helped tremendously. I will say, adding out of state prep was much more daunting. Knowing you can’t just run home if you forgot anything really put the pressure on making sure everything was on point.
Overall the prep was all worth it. The only things I added to this list was to print out all your flight, hotel, rental car and sightseeing information you may need for where you are going.
Oh and also be prepared for parking fees if you rent a car.
I will post all the pics from PM15 on the Facebook page if you wanna see me in action.

      <description>&amp;nbsp;
Ain&amp;#8217;t nothing worse than jokers looking for a hook up. That&amp;#8217;s right I said it!
I work too hard for my paper, and you think I should get less.
Yeah&amp;#8230;. that would be a no. Run me my money.
Don&amp;#8217;t keep letting folks cut into your pockets. I know it may seem mean to say no, but look at it this way.
These same folks will go somewhere else and pay full price, with no problem.
&amp;nbsp;
I&amp;#8217;m just saying, get your money and let the leeches fall off.
I learned long ago all money ain&amp;#8217;t good.
Your service is good enough to be sold, then it&amp;#8217;s good enough to be regular price period.
&amp;nbsp;
Listen, this is Business and we are going to run it as such.
Hustle Up Ladies and let&amp;#8217;s get it!
