“If you are trying to create a company, it’s like baking a cake. You have to have all of the ingredients in the right proportion.” – Elon Musk

To say that I am excited about the Shed Builder Expo is an understatement! 

Attending the Shed Builder Expo is one of the most important “ingredients” for the success of my shed business as well as yours. If you show up, your business will blow up, and if you don’t show, you won’t know all of the new and amazing things that are happening in our industry! 

The key is to get to Richmond, Virginia, and compel your team to go as well. I realize that it’s a sacrifice and it’s not convenient, but success never is. 

My mission is to get to Richmond, learn all that I can, and pour into people’s lives by sharing my 26 years of experience with others. Simply put, you will learn how to put the spread on the bread at the Shed Builder Expo! 

Here are a couple of reasons why you should attend the Shed Builder Expo:

You will gain knowledge at the Shed Builder Expo that you won’t get otherwise. That’s right. By attending the Shed Builder Expo, you will find out about new trends, products, technology, and other information that can really help you stay ahead of your competition and keep you in the know. 

For example, I connected with some builders that attended my seminar, and they wanted me to do my presentation for their companies as well—my presentation is on the 10 Core Commitments for Success in the Shed Industry. 

I also met with builders who were interested in becoming builders/partners to supply Lowe’s Home Improvement with sheds through America’s Buildings, which is a company that I helped found, and do sales consulting work for. 

Not to mention the incredible folks we connected with. None of the above would have happened if I had not attended the Shed Builder Expo last year.

Attending the Shed Builder Expo will help you stay committed to your goals! I’ve been attending expos and conventions like this for 26 years, and I can tell that some years I felt like I was king of the hill, and in others I felt like I was sucking smoke from a tailpipe! 

Sometimes business is tough as we all know and all I can say to that is wear a helmet. For me, attending the Shed Builder Expo allows me to recalibrate, recommit, and live to fight another day! 

My wife and I also use this time as an opportunity to goal set and brainstorm and adjust our business plans as needed. I cannot overstress the importance of staying plugged into events like this.  

I realize that it’s easy to take the Shed Builder Expo for granted, but I can tell you from experience that having such an event was just a dream a few short years ago.  

I encourage you to get scheduled and booked so you can make the most of this wonderful opportunity to connect with others and reinvigorate your business. This can truly be a game-changer.

I look forward to seeing you there!
