The Strength Cruise
Tonight I want to drop a quick post to let you all know about something truly innovative and awesome. First, a little background.
I go to a ton of conferences, workshops, symposiums, lectures etc.
As committed to education as I am you may be surprised to hear that I have an ulterior motive. You see, you’re only as strong as the relationships you hold and the network you have.
Take my example. I’m a no-name trainer from a country that the majority of the World doesn’t care about (sad but true). Somehow I have managed to make friends with the best and it’s not because I’m super-smart. It’s because every single workshop I go to I make sure to stay after and grab 5 minutes of the speakers time. I don’t really care so much about the answer to my question. My goal is to make friends.
5 Minutes isn’t enough
If you are like me and realize the importance of relationships you feel my pain. That’s exactly why I jumped at the opportunity to take part in the Strength Cruise. Coach Nick Tumminello has arranged for a conference to take place on a cruise to the Bahama’s (double-bomb).
There won’t be a better opportunity to listen to some great talks, mingle, and party with the industry elite for 4 days in the sun.
As if the schmoozing wasn’t enough
Coming from somebody who has almost gone bankrupt pursuing education this part really speaks to me.
Have a look at some numbers of what a conference will run you:
- An average 3-day fitness conference will run you ~ $250-$350
- Hotel room for 3 days at an average of $180 will run you ~ $540
- Food for 3 days will run you ~ $60
- Cab fare and entertainment will run you ~$50/night
