January 11, 2011.
The last two times I walked shows (San Francisco Gift Show, New York Gift Show, Stationary Show & Surtex) I did it alone....with a capital A for the most part. I hated it. I mean not the show or the walking (though my feet were killing me because I wore heels), I hated just being alone. I hated eating alone. I hated walking alone. I remember walking up to a booth that licensed children's art and trying to talk to them....I was so green I thought they were the actual artists who created the art. The looks and eye rolls I got from the Blonde Marketing Gals in Skirts would have been humorous if I were not....alone. I slinked away and licked my wounds all the way back to the hotel.
This Time It Will Be Different
This will be my third trip to the Atlanta Gift Show. The other two times I was exhibiting at the Gift Show. This time I am just walking the floor and attending some seminars. I am beyond excited to be staying with three great like-minded artists/entrepreneurs also. Shelly Kennedy, London Edwards & Kelly Rightsell will be in my wolf pack this coming weekend....hope things don't go all "Girls Gone Wild" or anything. I don't know, but having only traveled with London in the past I know how crazy thinks can get when everyone is punch drunk tired.....
What I Hope To See at the Atlanta Gift Show
- I would love to meet or see other business owners & artisans I have worked with in the industry. It would be great to meet face to face with some of the business owners that have sold my products for the past nine years. It would be refreshing to also possibly meet up with artisans and manufacturers that I actually exhibited next to or talked with at previous shows.
- I really want to see the trends and not just read about what the next color or new gimmick everyone is hawking for 2012. Reading about polka dots and vintage patterns is one thing, but to see it used in bedding, ceramics, wood or even decopauged on actual products is exciting. I hope to get tons of inspiration on new color combinations and Industry trends.
- To be able to walk the Children's Section, The Home, The Textiles, The Garden, The temporaries & the Permanent Show Rooms will be fun. Exhausting and pretty much impossible to see everything, but good to do. For the first time I won't be hiding my badge or taking a quick trip to the restroom before going back to stand for 8 hours straight in a booth.
- Since I won't be wearing the exhibitor badge I won't get the evil eyes from competitors, or catch competitors sneaking into our booth after I left. The buyers are treated like kings and queens at Trade Shows. Buyers get schmoozed at the permanent shows, catalogs shoved in their faces in the temporaries and they get free food and cocktails with just a snap of a finger.
- Seeing what (if any attend) my competition is doing. NO one wants to admit it, but that is something you do at a Trade Show. It is smart, it is good business and it is what other business owners do. I won't be taking photographs from smart phone or stealing samples, but I want to take it all in.
- I would love to meet other artists, or like minded people that are crazy....like me. Some shows I have met some great people, others....not so much. I am going to enjoy just going under the radar and taking in the sites and the products.
Almost in Atlanta Baby
So, in a nutshell I have a very, very long list of things I would like to accomplish while in Atlanta. I am so hoping that it all goes smoothly and there is no drama or....wait I so want me some drama! That makes great blogging, great reality TV and fabulous stories to relive over cocktails, and snorting while laughing. I can't wait to feel inspired again.....and I hope my inspiration is coming from Atlanta.

Every time I find inquired what I do for a living and reply that I'm a good Life Coach,グッチ 財布 長 財布 I usually get either one of two responses.The first is a blank stare as despite the fact I told them I wrestle mountain goats to get a living and they aren't quite sure what to suggest.グッチ 財布 長 財布 And the other one is "I"d like to be a Life Coach,グッチ バッグ : http://www.guccioutletcheap.com/"> It looks like I'd be good at that"Even though life training.or at least competent Life Coaching is an experienced practice.it seems that a great deal of people think they'd be good at it from the get-go and with no Life Coach training.After all.how hard can it be You listen to somebody hinting their problems and then you fix them.Sorry to say.it isn't quite that easy and Life teachers aren't paid to help repair people or ram advice all the way down clients throats.They are paid to ask the right questions around the right time in order to move a clients thinking.After all.if cannot get his client to think diversely this change is just ever going to happen by chance.And that's not the most effective way to go through life.So when somebody tells me they would love usually ask them why they think they are worthy the roll.Nine times out of ten they will reply oftentimes a great fan base not to mention I agree.that is a good starting point.Life Coaches do indeed need to be fantastic audience members.but there is so much more to the item than that.They also need to be great rapport tradesman.great question asks.great motivators.great lateral thinkers and not be afraid towards ask tough challenging questions. long year acer trends show only 001 more acelenolysunci topics now pr22 in 2012
