My first trip to SF had a price tag of $60,000. It was for Hambrect and Quist’s Technology Conference.
Mark McCormack said, “If I didn’t get my ROI for the four day Hambrect and Quist event, that he’d refund me the difference”
ROI for a $150 VIP Party
As Mark McCormack’s mentee, I wanna get you your ROI b-e-f-o-r-e the event. Hustle up as a jobapreneur, and get your return on investment before the event starts

>$150 VIP ticket Worth It!?
Challenge yourself to get your ROI (return on investment), prior to going into the $150 event. Then happily JUST BE at the event knowing you have your nut covered. Pun intended. pic.twitt |

An example is Shaqtacular
This event was presented by American Express Platinum Concierge. Tickets were pricey

Shaqtacular @SHAQ was $2,000
Let’s examine getting an early Return On Investment.
-1- Does Shaq have a book or a venture fund to launch?

-4- What problems Does Shaq have that you can solve?

-5- What problems do celeb attending present to Shaq
Does he need a vip sponsor to get vip trailers to host celebs
Does he need a crew of volunteers to be trained to wrangle celebs from their car or car service to the door?
Shaq would have taken the $2000. But I bet he wants $2000 the way that I would spend it because I am genius with how I spend $2k
For the $150, ask if you can provide professional photog services. $150 is easy.
