I really wanted to attend, but just couldn't get away as I had a court hearing (motion to annul a fake BK recording on a house I won on the courthouse steps - but that's a whole 'nuther thread!) blah blah blah. I won't miss the next one, that's for sure. I hope there will be some online videos, or downloads available!

    The quality was much more than I expected and it certainly was worth travelling 15 hours from Japan! Thank you Josh and I look forward to next years event!

    Fantastic event! My goal is to grow my small business and I came away with ways to do that. Mostly the summit helped reinforce what I need to do but is hard for me to do. One word summs it up for me and that is focus. And Rich Weese you are the man even though you are a Cougar fan. Go Utes. Oh and Rich if you are ever in SLC and need dinner company, my wife would love to have a dinner table filled with Cougar fans. Now off to read Rich's book.

    Waiting in Denver airport to board my plane back to SLC. Conference was awesome, and I feel like I made some good new friends. Definitely have some take away stuff from the conference to implement into my business.

    Thanks again to Josh for setting up such a great event!

    I cannot tell you how refreshing it was to be surrounded by likeminded
    people for 2 days. Thank you Josh for making this happen. As a former meeting planner I know the work and logistics involved. You and your team hit it out of the park!

    Having spoken at many seminars in the past, i assure everyone this one was different from the start to finish. The attitude, comraderie and friendship was outstanding. Everyone was open and sharing. I didn't talk to a single attendee that was disappointed.
    It was super to put personalities with the faces. I appreciate all those that voted me the best Hair of the seminar!
    We just finished hanging out in the lobby at 1 a.m. No one wanted to leave and the conversation was great. In speaking with many of the presenters, all were hopeing to be invited again. This is always a good sign that they were accepted well.
    On a personal note, thank you to all those attendees who attended by session and made my effort worth it and thanked me. The trip was well worth it.
    Gary, thanks for the kind words and invite! Good night to all. Rich

    Nathan Greg and I went to the Colorado Avalanche hockey game. I tried to be an Avs fan for the night but the Dallas Stars fan in me was excited when they lost in OT. This whole weekend was really a great experience. Josh and Denver have been a wonderful host. There's a handful of us still going! I'm in for next year!

    It was great meeting everyone and hearing the speakers. The networking and after hours conversations were inspirational. Thanks to Josh and his family and friends for hosting this summit.

    We have been given a lot of how and why's. We spent the money and time to come here and learn. It is now up to each of us to do something productive with the information shared. There is only one guarantee, in one year you will be one year older. How is the information learned going to change your life over the next 1,5, or 10 years? It's entirely up to you.

    Good luck and happy hunting.

    Incredible event Joshua Dorkin, it was a pleasure meeting you, your Mom and Mom-in-Law! It was interesting to find you out you are a fellow "Long Islander" or should I say "lawn-guyland-er"!

    Thanks for all you and your family/friends did. BTW, if you need help next year, I will be glad too, I can stuff things or whatever!
