Welcome back again to the orange office in Grants Pass, Oregon. I’m with BrianJPombo.com and this is Brian J Pombo Live. <br> <br> <br> <br> Everyday we come to you with another tip of a way that you can make huge changes in your business. <br> <br> <br> <br> Okay, so today we’re going to talk about expos and trade shows and other things like conventions and ways that you can get out there and make a huge change in your business. <br> <br> <br> <br> It has to do with networking. <br> <br> <br> <br> Nowadays with social networking, with social media, we all expect to be able to do things online. We all expect to be able to reach people by email, reach people on social media, reach people electronically as much as possible, and do everything from behind a desk. <br> <br> <br> <br> Really, if you can focus on doing something else, if you can focus on going the next level and taking it out to the physical world, you’re gonna really see the big difference.<br> <br> <br> <br> I’m doing it myself. So within the self-reliance field, which is one of the areas that I’m focusing in on right now, and I have a podcast, I’ve mentioned it before, it’s The Off The Grid Biz Podcast. Here’s the latest business card. <br> <br> <br> <br> I’ll tell you more about that in a second. <br> <br> <br> <br> I’ve got this podcast, right. This gives me a chance to get out there and interview people within the self-reliance field, get to learn more about it, get to learn more about their business. <br> <br> <br> <br> Because I’m talking to them from a business end and it’s changed everything. So today I was talking with Andrew Perkins. Andrew Perkins, who works for Ogden Publications. <br> <br> <br> <br> Ogden Publications publishes Mother Earth News. Mother Earth News is a magazine that helps people in the self-reliance field and specifically in homesteading and kind of living off the land and learning how to do things the way people always used to be able to do it, but kind of teaching people how to do it again.<br> <br> <br> <br> So raising animals, raising your own food, taking care of your own place, that type of deal. <br> <br> <br> <br> Mother Earth News has been around for a long time, but they realized a few years back that if you’re going to survive as a magazine, you have to expand out. You can’t just be just a print magazine and that’s it. <br> <br> <br> <br> So they created these Mother Earth News Fairs, there’s six of them that happen across the country. These are basically it’s an expo that gets put on all across the country. <br> <br> <br> <br> They bring in speakers, they bring in authors to come out, put on workshops, show people how to do things, get people’s hands dirty and really show them all these things that people were interested in who would read the magazine except it’s like alive. It’s right out there for them to see and do. So this is exciting. <br> <br> <br> <br> I’m going to the Mother Earth News Fair in Albany, Oregon. It’s on the first weekend of August and I’d love to see you there. <br> <br> <br> <br> If you’re interested in the self-reliance field as I am a head over to MotherEarthNewsFair.com and go buy yourself a ticket. <br> <br> <br> <br> Head on out there and reach out to me.
