ASK CHERI S HILL

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I was going to introduce Michael Gerber (author of the E-Myth) at the Sparks Chamber Business Forum.  Well, I did.  I was facilitating a round of Super Networking (which I introduced to the Chamber 2 or 3 years ago) and here comes Mr. Gerber.  White suit, bright pink tie and a white fedora.  When I wear heels I stand about 5′ 11″ and when facing Mr. Gerber he came all the way up to my boobs.  He was very nice as he shook my hand and even asked me what Sage International did.   I explained that we work with business owners from all over the country to get them properly structured and how for many years, I have been a huge proponent of his work.  He appreciated that.  He started his speech, which if you’ve never heard Michael Gerber speak, may at times shock or even offend because he is very direct, swears a lot and pretty much tells it like it is.  I guess that why I like him! No BS. 

He was about 30 minutes into his presentation and had the audience hanging on every word, when the fire alarms went off completely dousing his momentum.  People were leaving the room, but not me.  I waited it out (having been through many fire drills at the casinos which never pan out) as did many others.  When the all clear was given, he picked up right where he left off and continued to dazzle us with his brilliance.  For those of you unfamiliar with Michael Gerber, I highly recommend you check into his information/books.   Imagination was the main concept I took away.  To reinvent your business you have to have unstoppable imagination! So I challenge you to “Dream” each and every day.
