I felt pretty charged from ASW, got a lot don, felt really good about the direction I'm going. But there's something to be said about constantly being around people in this mindset.

Getting home I was pumped, crunk, wtf ever you want to say ready to make some money, talking about it a lot etc, and people around me are kind of "derp". You guys experience this at all?
 


Definitely. I went to ASW with a couple friends one who is already AMing with me and another who wants to get into it. So many ideas were in my head the past few days my namecheap account seriously exploded :)
 
the fastest way to get good at something,, hang out with people who knows the shit. IM basically moving down to collective :) in bangkok next weekend all of hustling online.... Sharing a flat with two good friends and another one live in the city. It's gonna be nice...

It was awesome getting to meet a lot of you. Definitely got more from outside meetings than the conference itself, but I still learned a lot. Ad Hustler had a sick presentation on local lead gen that got me motivated to start pushing some more local out. Unfortunately, I got hit with the flu as soon as I got back so I've been out of commish since thursday.

Dude, I've never been more motivated before in my life to succeed. I was on the phone with bofu the other day talking about this exact feeling of being around this degrading and depressing 'blue collar' mindset.

Having the freedom to create your own empire and destiny is such a huge high once you finally realize it.

I haven't even gone out to party since I've been back. Which is strange. I just have the urge to create and profit.

Sounds weird but... I miss hanging with my online friends and talking shop.

You guys are lucky. If I mention any kind of IM around here people either stare at me blankly or assume im a spammer/scammer.

Yup, I'm going through the exact same thing right now and I really want to be around this mindset all the time.

Yeah, I got sick on the flight back and am only now starting to feel better.
 
Yep, I couldn't agree more, made like 10 Landing Pages since I've been back. Actually by Tuesday night of ASW i wanted to go back to the hotel and right all the things down.I'm actually using this motivation to read more Motivation/organization books. Don't want this fire to burn out, you know. Might actually goto Adtech in April, would like to meet some more people.

Edit: I've been talking about a WF Mini Conventions/meetups for a while. I would meetup in Chicago once a month for sure. That way the motivations always there?
 
i felt the same way after Adtech...i think seeing how big the industry is at these conferences and seeing how much money is being generated is motivating as a mofo.

Constantly. The only person that even remotely gets the potentials of AM is my Mom. Who I have put to work writing content on a topic she knows alot about. Replies about putting my mom to work in 3,2,....
 
All. The fucking. Time. Thats why I value these conferences, 2 minutes of conversation with people theres is more productive than trying to explain it to someone at home for like 6 months
