Great question, @MariaHarmon! Thanks for sharing your strategies, @SarahGonzales and @EmilyCowan. I go to as many talks, workshops, seminars and presentations as I can. I'm lucky enough to live in the Bay Area, where this is no shortage of events designed to educate, inform and entertain. My local library is a wonderful FREE resource -- I've taken workshops there on everything from online buisness marketing to storytelling to meditation. I love hearing authors and journalists speak, too. Basically, I keep my eyes open for opportunities to hear experts share their wisdom "live" -- and I always bring along a pal so we can talk about what we've heard and learned. Conferences are fantastic opportunities, too -- lots of experts, all in one place!
