This past week, I attended the Perfect Business Summit with two friends and colleagues, Malla Haridat and Ed Wagaba. Perfect Business is a conference designed to inspire entrepreneurs and provide them with the resources they need to be successful. There was a great lineup of speakers and while there were some snags logistically (wait for my future blog post on that!), there were many great lessons to be learned. I'm a big believer that you can glean good tips from anything - and I certainly got my fair share at this conference.
To save on room, I won't list all the speakers, but I will show you their speaker list. My favorite to hear from, which I'm sure will come as no surprise to you, was Tony Hsieh. This was my first time hearing him speak and I very much appreciated his humility and perspective on customer service. The lessons learned below are in no particular order and a mix of information I never know, reminders of important lessons and sometimes just inspirational sayings. All quotes are paraphrased and speakers have been attributed where possible. I hope they will also be inspirational to those of you who were unable to attend. For those of you who did attend, please leave your additional comments!
By the way, part of my motivation for attending this conference was for an upcoming project I cannot wait to share with you! We hope to announce in the next month so please stay tuned to the blog for more information!
