This past week was consumed with attending and helping at the spa Event Fall 2011 show. One major benefit to helping out (mainly with sound and speaking) was the chance to sit in on a majority of the classes.
A lot of this week was spent recapping the best info shared at spa Event. If you were at spa Event, I would love to get your feedback by commenting on the posts or sharing your own article.
Monday

Sunday was the pre-Event day at spa Event. John Ratchford shared what I feel is the most important message you and your business can hear right now. Be intentional. Have a goal and WORK to achieve it.

One of the themes of this spa Event was creating content for your website. This means that YOUR website should be your online hub…not Facebook. Read this for lots of good information on building a useful site.

This month’s contest is based around costume and themed images. I got so many good images it was really tough to narrow it down to 3 winners (sponsored by WHCC). See who did make the cut…
