WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Get more experience

First things first, respect comes with experience. After all, if you have a wealth of gigs and achievements under your belt, you are going to be looked on more highly by other professionals in the field. Therefore, it’s time to get some experience on board to ensure you are taken more seriously. You might want to do some work experience for a company in the field to get your foot in the door. Or it might be that you take on some free work from clients to ensure you build a solid portfolio. That way, you can turn up to talk to influential people in the industry with lots of experience under your belt. And you can then show them examples of your work to ensure you are taken seriously.

Enhance your knowledge

A lot of young entrepreneurs are brushed off by key business players as they see them as lacking in knowledge. After all, if you have never started your own business before, they might not take you seriously. Therefore, it’s time to enhance your knowledge so that you are taken more seriously. For one thing, you could attend talks by leaders in your field. You might pick up useful tips that you can use to help your career progress. Or you might even consider going back to college to get some solid accreditations under your belt. And you don’t even actually have to attend college if you don’t want to. There are many online mba programs accredited by aacsb which will be looked on highly by key players in your field. In fact, you can enhance skills such as marketing and accounting which is essential in business And with completion being within 20 months, you could soon be on the path to success in your field.

Speak with the big players

In some industries, it’s all about who you know if you want to go further afield. After all, people are more likely to speak with you and respect you as a business person if you are friends with someone else in the industry. Therefore, it’s a good idea to network to get to know the big players in the industry. You can often see them at trade shows and industry events where you can strike up a conversation. Once you become associated with one key player, you will soon be taken seriously.

And make sure you work hard if you want to be taken seriously in your industry. It can be challenging when procrastination is so easy. But if you show the key players you are prepared to do whatever it takes and work hard, you will be met with respect!
