Member You - Yikes - My Feet Hurt! 8 Tips for Trade Show Exhibitors
So you want to own your own business? Been dreaming of all the free time you would have, nobody telling you what to do; becoming the next Bill Gates? Well, there is good news and bad news about being an entrepreneur.According to the SBA, the Small Business Association, only about 2% of the American population is emotionally and mentally equipped to succeed at owning their
7. If you have a recent or recurring injury, don’t take the chance of doing more damage. Use a cane or wheelchair. If you use a wheelchair, please add a flag that sticks above at eye-level. I’ve seen too many near-misses between the wheelchair and the flow of aisle traffic. People walking in the aisles are looking up or straight ahead, not below shoulder level.

Being a world leader certainly has its advantages indeed. You can get away with murder, sponsor International Terrorists, exploit children and women for sex and kill or imprison all your political adversaries and even when you do all this you can get exemplary service at the United Nations concierge services center. What a treat it must be indeed?In most nations if you did a
Concrete. Tiles. Cheap carpet. Walking, walking. Standing, standing. Talking, talking. Walking, standing, talking - and walking some more.
We've become a comfortable people. We don’t walk miles per day on hard surfaces. We don’t stand for hours in a relatively confined space. And, we get grumpy when we’re required to do so.
Not only do we get grumpy inside, we show it on the outside. Our shoulders droop. Our smiles become forced or disappear. We begin to make snide little comments - “Boy, this is a a long show.” Or “I feel like I’ve been here forever.”
We perch on the edge of tables, put elbows on counters or just sit down - forcing visitors to lean over to talk to us. We look bored and people who may stop to talk to us just pass by. Who wants to deal with grumpy people?
Trade shows are hard work. And, they’re hardest on your feet. Here are some tips to make the show more pleasant, whether you’re in the booth or walking the aisles.
1. Remember that “your feet are your friends”, so simple foot care is a priority before you subject them to long stretches of stress. Get the pedicure. Protect any injuries you may have.
2. Wear comfortable shoes. Not old ugly comfortable shoes. Nice, polished professional comfortable shoes. Never new shoes. Make sure your socks or hose fit properly in the shoes - lumps and bumps rub blisters.
3. Your shoes should be appropriate to your attire. You just look funny in a business suit and big white running shoes. Note - often you will go straight from a trade show to seminars or receptions, so plan outfits that can be worn for an extended period.
4. Never Ever take off your shoes in the booth. Tacky, tacky.
5. Women & Men - take a minimum of 3 pairs of shoes of varying heel heights which are comfortable to you. Use inside lifts. Change shoes at least twice a day.
6. It’s important to keep your posture erect - shoulders straight, head up. When we’re tired, we have a tendency to curl over, dropping our head and shoulders. The simple solution? Bend your knees slightly - that throws the spine back into alignment and re-balances your posture.

Hello againToday we want to talk about where you can find affordable resources. Important things you need are information and software, and a few other bits and pieces to build your business (you also need products, but this will be covered in a separate article).

How much more fundamental can you get than this? As a business, non-profit or association manager, if you don’t get your most important outside audiences on your side, you will fail.To me, failure means key target audiences that don’t behave as you want them to. For example, capital donors or specifying sources who look the other way, customers who fail to make repeat purcha

You can’t build a reputation on what you are "going" to do. Henry Ford Everyone procrastinates in their own way. For some, procrastination results from the belief that there is always one more bit of information that will really make the case?or, conversely, really undo the case. They resist taking action for fear that they’ve missed something

8. When it just gets to be too much, when your dogs are really barking, here’s my favorite remedy. Just before bedtime, soak your feet in warm water. Rinse in cold water. Massage your feet, ankles and calves with Ben-Gay, Tiger Balm or other such product. Put on an old pair of socks that you’ll throw away the next day. Sleep and you’ll have refreshed feet for another day of walking, standing and talking - and walking some more.
