Jim Kukral Kicked My A** For 40 Minutes

January 21st, 2010 → 3:09 pm @ Eric Nagel

Tweet I attended Jim Kukral‘s session at Affiliate Summit entitled, “How to get Motivated for Success” only to hear Jim speak. He has a natural stage presence, and I was going simply to listen to a great public speaker. I didn’t expect to get anything out of the session, but Jim definitely proved me wrong. [...]

Tweet Tuesday was the final day of Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas – sad to see things wrap up, but 3 days is all I can take being away from my family and working (attending sessions, networking opportunities, walking the exhibit hall floor) nearly 24/7. I started the day down in the Blogger’s Lounge, [...]

ASW10 Day 2

January 19th, 2010 → 11:57 am @ Eric Nagel

Tweet Affiliate Summit continued on Monday, starting with breakfast then Dr. Robert Cialdini’s keynote. After the keynote, I ran through the Exhibit Hall, but wasn’t too impressed this time around. “It’s not you, it’s me.” Previously, I would have talked to everyone, took every pen, stress ball and whatever SWAG they were giving away and [...]

Tweet Sunday was day 1 of Affiliate Summit, which for me started with breakfast with CAMA. Like I said yesterday, small meals like this is where the real deals get done at Affiliate Summit. A product I was emailed about a couple weeks ago (and ignored) was given as samples at breakfast. I got to [...]

Tweet Last week I signed up to play in the Affiliate Summit Charity Poker Tournament, hosted by dk, and benefiting the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
