Welcome to The Abundance Minded Entrepreneur Summit - August 2022
Welcome to The Abundance Minded Entrepreneur Summit.
After the great success of the Great Experiment Summit in April, we got right back in gear for the next one, and here it is!
The platform is Zoom.
The structure is great speakers sharing great knowledge in an interactive virtual environment.
The goal is to create high energy and engagement.
While this is no longer an “experiment,” we're still open to playing, trying new things, and having fun. That gives us some flexibility to play around, have some fun, try new things, and make more robust connections.
Your Talk
The speaker slots are 15 minutes. The concept is to have a quick, fun cadence. In your talk, you should focus on one key thing that people can learn.
If your talk is interactive, meaning you engage with the audience, bring someone up for a demonstration, or otherwise get people involved, you can stretch to 20 minutes, and we'll just shorten the speed networking or Q&A block after your talk.
While you can do a regular presentation with slides and all, I do encourage you to engage with the audience as well. They are there in the Zoom room. Make them feel like you're there with them.
Interview or Presentation
You can do presentation style or Michael Whitehouse can interview you. Or both. You can present for a bit and be interviewed for a bit. We will also do Q&A if there's time.
Open Interaction
The talks will be 15 minutes, and at the last 15 minutes of each hour there will be a Q&A break. That means that people may stick around to ask questions or they may dash off during that time.
Offers and Gifts
You are welcome and encouraged to offer a gift or goodie to the audience during your talk. You can also share that link so it goes onto our gift list.
You are welcome and encouraged to offer something of greater value for our VIPs.
These are two different things. One for everyone who shows up free, and one for the people who paid for the $47 upgrade. You can do both, or just one. Up to you! It's experimental!
To be clear, down below, you'll see a “Gift” and “VIP Gift." The “Gift” is available to everyone who registered. The “VIP Gift” is available to the VIPs.
Recordings
All presentations will be recorded. They will be available to all VIPs and all speakers. Additionally, some videos may be shared out to attendees or others on my list for various reasons including promoting that speaker's affiliate link or program.
Your Time Commitment
As a speaker, we ask you to join us for at least two hours of the event so that you will get to meet (and connect with) some of the other speakers. Of course, you are welcome and encouraged to stay longer.
A Community of Abundance Minded Entrepreneurs is what we are building here at this event and through all of the projects of The Guy Who Knows a Guy. We are bringing together people who have taken charge of their destiny as entrepreneurs and believe that the world is better when we collaborate than when we compete.
Purpose of The Abundance Minded Entrepreneurs Summit
The purpose of this event is to take a variety of tools and tactics for events and put into practice.
The Audience
As an event, the content/audience focus is Abundance Minded Entrepreneurs, whether it's a new business, a prospective business, or an established and evolving business. They are people who do what they do for a purpose, not just a paycheck.
Your Speaker Experience
We're very flexible in the approach to this event making it a playground for speakers. This event is not optimized for opt-ins or sales or any particular agenda. The focus is on creating a great experience for the community who joins us. It just so happens that creating a great experience tends to lead to more opt ins and sales, but that comes second.
If there's something you want to do, then I'll probably say “sure, why not?” Just don't be pitchy. Pitching okay. Infomercial, less so. :)
Event Style
The event will be a live, Zoom-based event running a full day.
We're aiming for engagement. We want an event where people feel they are part of something, not where they feel like they are watching a YouTube video.
This means that we'll have interactive activities. It means we encourage interactive presentations.
It also means that we encourage speakers to be there for as much of the event as possible because you'll be making some connections while you're there.
Schedule Structure
Speaking slots will be 15 minutes. If your presentation goes to 20 minutes because you are doing something interactive, whether it's bringing someone on stage or taking questions, that is acceptable. It will just take 5 minutes out of the speed networking or Q&A segment after yours.
Each hour will be formatted as follows:
0-15 Speaker
15-30 Speed Networking
30-45 Speaker
45-60 Q&A for previous two speakers/break
Recordings
All presentations will be recorded. They will be available to all VIPs and all speakers. Additionally, some videos may be shared out to attendees or others on my list for various reasons including promoting that speaker's affiliate link or program.
Promotion
Promotion
Speakers are expected to promote at least three times, and a minimum of 5 opt-ins are expected from each speaker. Swipe copy will be provided, or you can write your own copy. If you write really good copy, I'll share it with the other speakers and credit you.
If you bring in at least 10 opt ins, I will promote your affiliate offer to my entire list.
The top three promoters (by total opt-ins) will be promoted to the entire list of attendees and my own entire mailing list, whatever you would like to share (within reason), no affiliate necessary.
