To: Former Gold, Gold +, CBA's, CMA's, MMA's, Diamond, Peak, Platinum & Titanium Members (I think that covers all of you),
Vance Morris (Marketer of the Year 2015-2018) and Bryan Durkin (Peak) here.
Seems like it was a 100 years ago that we attended our last Super Conference, Info-Summit or Boot Camp with Dan Kennedy and the gang. We always remember hearing during the breaks that most of us long timers no longer attended for the content (Dan has admitted he only has "so many clicks on the dial") but to see and be seen.
Seeing the ol' gang.
The making of deals during breaks, meals and late nights / early mornings in the hotel lobby bar.
Trading war stories
Learning the "hot new thang"
Be last standing when Dan did his "Who has been with me?" schtick.
Connections made
Remembering members no longer in that world or in this world. (We miss the Spunky Old Broad)
Fellowship (and womenship and themship)
Money made
We thought it would be a great idea to invite previous GKIC members for a weekend reunion. All of the benefits of attending a conference without having to listen to the pitch fest, sales presentations or info we have heard before.
Of course, if Parthiv Shah decides to come, we might let him sponsor a lunch and then listen to his pitch.
This reunion is NOT a revenue generator for us. We are charging enough to cover our hard costs (food, rooms, AV, etc.). Anything that is left over will be donated to Dan's charity New Vocations Horse Rescue.
So here's the dealio:
Start with reception (included) on 1/26/24 for fellowship and themship.
Saturday: Breakfast on your own
A morning & afternoon of introductions, 10 minute 'elevator pitches', masterminding and deal making.
Lunch at the resort (included)
A couple breaks for more fellowship and themship
Dinner at the resort (included)
Evening of more catching up and deal making.
Breakfast on your own on 1/28/24.
A morning of introductions, 10 minute 'elevator pitches', masterminding and deal making.
Done noonish...
A digital directory of participants will be available.
In addition to all the masterminding, you will get up on stage and give us your best elevator pitch, updates of business or life, teach us, do a magic trick... whatever...
Amount of stage time will depend on number of participants
What's this all gonna cost me? Or as Dave Dee would say, your investment is just.... $359.
Of course, you will need to take care of your hotel room and travel, but $359 will cover the rest.
Hotel info: Vance is hosting another event at Disney, and can get you a significant discount at the host resort. Just $369 + tax. However, this is based on availability. So let him know ASAP if you want him to reserve your room. (This is a premium resort on the monorail (Value of $895.00) . Exact location will be given on the "thank You" page)
Otherwise, you can stay at your favorite Motel 6, Holiday Inn, VRBO or Ritz near Disney.
Discount Park Tickets: You may want to add a day or two and hit the theme parks. Vance will provide a link for discounted park tickets
Rekindle old relationships
Create new partnerships or JV's.
Hang with like minded entrepreneurs (the peeps that 'get' you)
Pick up a business strategy or two
Get away from the office for a couple days and work on the biz... not in it.

I reveal how Disney, with its 85000 employees, delivers memorable experiences, day in and day out, consistently for EMPLOYEES. I know you probably don’t have 85000 employees….… but even if you only have one employee, the strategies still apply. You cannot take your business from where it is now to where you want it to be without great people.
To GROW your PROFITS (without growing your own workload) you need to hire great people. Those people could be employees, virtual assistants and part-time support in a new start up. But if you try to achieve entrepreneurial greatness on your own, you will fail.
Case closed.
I’ve always known this and what makes DBOS LIVE 2022 different to any other is we will shine a MASSIVE spotlight on the recruitment, hiring and retaining of people. The Employees For Life System is designed to give you the edge over the rest of your industry moaning about the ‘labor shortage’ in their town.
The strategies that Vance reveals in his system, literally turn ‘conventional business thinking’ on its’ ear! He is equipped with an arsenal of tools that any small business owner can pick up and run with to start producing big time, bottom line results. This is exactly the kind of advice I needed when I started my career….. but nobody really knew what was going on or was willing to share. If you’re a business owner and you want real improvement in your business….. Then I highly suggest you listen to what Vance has to say!
Dan KennedyThe Millionaire Maker
I always knew that understanding MONEY is just as, or perhaps even more, important than any business or marketing strategy. Most businesses die because they run out of money as the owner isn’t what we call ‘financially intelligent’. But, my experience observing business owners over the past few years has profoundly re-enforced the view that there’s a severe lack of financial awareness in the small business world.
If your business has stopped growing, it’s likely because you haven’t paid enough attention to it.
Or, if it’s growing but you never feel like you ever have any money, it’s because you haven’t got a system for financial management. Whatever stage of business you are at right now, understanding how money works is so important because it’s what enables you to survive adversity, overcome fears, deal with the unbelievable stress involved in running a business, motivate your team, motivate yourself, stay clear and strong while others panic – and do all this while driving the growth and success of your business.
The fact that your business survived the pandemic is proof that you have what it takes as an entrepreneur to take your business to an entirely new level. You should be very, very proud.
But the skills, strategies and mindset that got you to where you are now are not going to be sufficient to get you where you want to be. Small Businesses hit a series of growth barriers at various points on the journey (…maybe you are stuck in one now?) and you only break through those ceilings when the owner of the business radically changes their approach to take them on the next stage of the journey.
As your business grows, it requires a radical shift in how you use your time. You need to create what I call a Personal Operation System for your life. I’ve grown my business with one hard and fast rule:
my time is the most valuable thing I’ve got and I must always have AMPLE of it for my family. My business success cannot come at the expense of being with my family or doing the things I love.
During the Challenge, I’ll be sharing key insights into how to accelerate the growth of your business – and how to create a structure for your business and your life that enables you to achieve that growth with ease instead of struggle and sacrifice.
Vance has been instrumental to the success of my company! Over the past 11 years, Vance has been one of the best sounding boards for service & marketing techniques & has added insight into why different ideas work or do not. I have been able to shift my company’s marketing focus to successfully attract the customers that will support my business! I highly recommend working with Vance Morris if you want to refocus your company on moving forward and not just surviving!”
