You should have seen what happened in Tampa, one group of guys won about 80% of all the prizes, Wow!
I sure hope they played the lottery or went gambling after that! They sure had a great winning streak!

I like watching a guy that outweighs me run around like a maniac and leave me in the dust. I don't know how he does it.
Roundtables fire me up when I go home and give me new methods to try. When I got back from PHX I used the info from the PM. When we were done with Vegas I used info from ANT and what we learned from the 2nd day of demos with the experienced building washers we were able to land almost a $1000 building wash within a week or so. Those are just three that stick out in my mind.

This was actually the first thing that I have read or heard about a RT that made me even think about attending one.
I am sure I would have a great time meeting people, always nice to put a face to a name but that really does not motivate me to attend.
There are maybe three people that I would like to hear give a presentation but even then not sure I would want to go to a RT just for that.
I have seen the pics, the videos from the RT's, still not a whole lot to get me to want to attend.
I hav talked to a few guys and all they ever say is it "was like a pep rally" it "motivated me"...... My P&L is enough motivation for me.
Maybe I am a bit too cynical about these things but unless there was one during the middle of the week (I have my reasons for this, can anyone guess) in a nearby and desriable city....I just can't imagine going.

Round Tables aren't for everyone, don't expect people to try to convince you to go.
Many of us have many, many reasons why we like to go and continue to go when we can.
From what you mention so far, sounds like you are happier staying at home and that is ok, like I said, Round Tables aren't for everyone.

Mike--You need to go to one and then you can make a better decision on how you feel about them without just guessing about how they would be.
There is one coming up in Atlanta I think next weekend which isnt that far from you. Go to one and you may get that rush that so many people there share the same goals and idea's that you do and with that you can feed off of each other with so many ideas. I love Roundtables because of the people and lets face it...at home nobody really wants to talk shop with you that is not in that type of business. Of Course Money is the greatest motivator but being at one of these meetings get you pumped and excited and you have fun in the process. Try one and see what you think.
Charleston is in the middle of week starting on 28 29 & 30
over 60 manufactures and 22 dist will attend to make this a huge event. This will have sales training, motivation, sales & PWNA boot camps.
This is on a tues wed & thursday, last year 73 showed in WI during the middle of the week.
Roundtables are different flavors for different folks, if you want to know about the millions made no one is telling or sharing that info. SHHHHHHHH
Like anything in life its what you make of it, some come and get instant payback. Others dont care and some are just having a difficult time figuring how and why some turn roundtables into dollars.
Others leave with a piece of equipment that might make them more dollars, some learn a new technic that makes them profitable.
Mike you sound like a smart fellow, I learned from a guy coming to this roundtable about a simple idea that has made the difference in my PL.
I share the idea with all in attendance. I now have my freinds using the tool for sales and with success they are making sales directly related to this idea. Customers love the method and its a very simple idea, not even expensive to use.
Contractors have hooked up for litterally million dollar deals, i'm not at liberty to mention them as this is there personal business.
What more can I say then stay home if you want to stay simple and not take it to the next level. Its all your choice?????????

Atlanta this weekend will be my first and im going to see how informative they are. Hoping to come back fired up and with a little more knowledge of the industry . . . . . . and maybe a 50 in. flat screen. LOL.
Im not a real big party and hangout type. Im kinda lowkey but im sure the wife will have me out and about after hours.
If it helps me out and i have a good time i can see myself going to more of them. You never know till you try.

One roundtable won't tell the tale, they are all different.
Each one has offers many different things.
Cant judge tables based on one, I have been to bad and great ones.

I remember the first time I heard about an RT. I thought to myself, what is this, Some kind of a cult thing? Is this a bunch of guys just sitting around a table telling war stories. I will never go to one.
Finally after reading, talking on the phone to a couple of members and getting a better understanding as to what these RT's were about I decided to make the trip to my first RT in Bama to see for myself just exactly what it was that I was missing. I drove 9-10 hrs by myself from Saint Petersburg to Prattville AL. Of course I got lost about 25miles out and had to call to get directions the rest of the way. When I pulled into the parking lot I was met by Chris Chappell, Russ Spence, Thad and a few others. After driving all that way and being a bit nervous and a bit reluctant about what I was doing I realized that this was definitely where I wanted and needed to be. Right away I felt like I was meeting family for the first time. Family that up until I had then I had only spent time with behind a keyboard.
For the next three days I began to learn from some of the best in the industry. People like Russ Spence, Mike Cooke, Jeff Lecours, Thad and of course none other than the man himself, Ron Musgraves. It was at that RT that I realized that this industry was and is much larger than I ever dreamed possible and there was sooo much more that I needed to learn.
Since the Bama RT I have attended at least 4 other events. No 2 have been the same and I have walked away with something from each one that I have been able to apply to my business that has worked and I'm sure that each and every person who attends walks away with something that they are able to apply to their business as well.
Meeting so many different contractors in person from all around the country definitely changes the way you feel about being on these BB's. Being able to network with other contractors, getting help and providing help to others and just the all around sense of feeling like family with other guys and gals from around the country is something that can be life changing. I have met many great people off these BB's and have become very good friends with so many and learned so much. This is something that just a couple of years ago I would have never dreamed possible.
Thanks Ron, for bringing this industry closer together and Thank You to all of the guys and gals who are willing to share their knowledge from their own blood, sweat and tears. I think everyone should pat themselves on the back for a job well done and for making this industry what it is today.
