Scrap Your Trip 15% off SYT Exclusive Paper Ends Tonight

Hello from Washington DC!  I have not left the hotel and convention center since Wednesday, but I don’t care!  The Inc. 500/5000 conference is absolutely amazing!
In the last two days, I have listened to Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, Robert Johnson, founder of BET Television Network, Jill Blashack Strahan, founder of Tastefully Simple, David Neeleman, founder of Jet Blue and Jim Collins, author of my favorite business book, “Good to Great”.  I even ended up at the same lunch table yesterday as Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese (I thanked him profusely for ALL the wonderful hours of birthday party fun at Chuck E. Cheese!)

Everyone is still talking about Tony Hsieh.  He was humble, unassuming, comfortable in his own skin and brilliant.  He talked about how the vision of Zappos has changed over the years.  They started out as a company that sells shoes but changed their vision to be a company that provides the best possible customer experience who also just happens to sell shoes (and all the other things they sell now).

Want to know what the Zappos vision is now?  Deliver Happiness in a box.  Isn’t that incredible? 

The really interesting thing about listening to all these amazing business speakers is, in the end, what they are really talking about is life.  Live by your core values and principles…deliver the best possible experience…deliver happiness.  Because, at the end of the day, isn’t that all we really want?  To be happy.

I am really happy I came here.  Thank you to all of you who convinced me to come. 

Time to get ready for the Black Tie Gala!
