Having participated in an Advisory Board, I know how much service and guidance Make-it-Fly provides entrepreneurs by giving them a forum to gain the wisdom, tools and accountability to have their businesses excel. Therefore, I had high expectations when I attended the Entrepreneurs Embracing Change Conference. My expectations were exceeded! Every speaker gave me critical, proven ideas that I could put to work immediately to improve my business. Maybe more importantly, the content we were given reminded me of some critical business-building principles that I had forgotten. Make-it-Fly has been extremely helpful to my wife Cathy and me as we continue to improve our 15-year-old company and how we deliver our service to clients. I look forward to attending the next conference. Thank you for the work you do.

“There was an incredible wealth of materials and great speakers at this retreat. It was like going to four different seminars on finances, the Internet, marketing and sales all rolled into one!”

Mark Turner
Aspen Creek Landscaping, Inc.

“The Make-it-Fly retreat was loaded with goodies. I went with the intention of getting one or two great ideas for adding SEO to my website. I got more than two ideas that I could implement straight away and also received an easy-to-do sales idea, a great marketing tip that I can easily implement and an easy-to-use formula for my finances. It was really tough to decide which speaker to see because they were all fantastic. I bought the videos so that I can watch again the presentations I saw and to watch those I had to skip during the retreat. Usually, it's great if you come away with one or two great ideas/techniques. Right now, I have at least 15! I’ve already implemented five of them.”

“What a great day of learning from local experts! I walked away with two or three tasks from each session that I could immediately perform to increase the efficiency of my new business. The day went by so fast, I wasn’t ready for it to end.”

“The Make-it-Fly Fall Conference offered one of the best-organized, most information-packed days I have ever spent. An incredible array of twelve speakers in four break-out sessions were offered, and it was very difficult to choose one over another. Amy Graham took a necessary but often-neglected subject—business finances—and presented it in such a way that I felt she was speaking directly to me. Dick Bruso’s subject—Creating an Authentic & Dynamic Brand—had a lot of very useful information in a 45-minute presentation. I highly recommend that anyone who can spend a day should take advantage of it if it’s offered again.”

“Wow! I have only attended some Make-it-Fly events and I am absolutely blown away. About four months ago I started my own business. Over the last few months I have learned quite a bit, but nothing compared to what I learned when I attended the Entrepreneurs Embracing Change conference. Not only did I meet the most innovative, intelligent, caring, successful entrepreneurs on the planet, but I also learned some simple little things to do that will make a huge impact on my business—immediately. I learned how to get more visits to my website with little to no charge (thanks to Mike of seOverflow), which is huge if you have ever done pay-per-click advertising; how to be more intelligent with business finances and spending habits along with the goals you need to set for yourself (thanks to Amy Wayz to Wealth LLC); how to introduce myself and what I do to strangers in a more exciting, fun way to get more clients (thanks to Marty of PosiDyne Group), and how to make my business and me stand out better than my competition by developing my very own "brand” (thanks to Dick of Heard Above the Noise). The knowledge I gained and fun I had is worth thousands of dollars! If you have a business of your own you must check out Make-it-Fly because they will help you get your business soaring! I can't wait to learn more and am looking forward to achieving amazing success with the help of Make-It-Fly. “

“The Make-it-Fly Entrepreneurs Conference addressed issues like Internet presence, networking, accounting systems, presentations and growing revenues so participants could harness practical business methods and secrets. The format provided an opportunity to customize the information to your needs via the experts presenting. Take advantage of the next one!”

Bill Eck

“At the conclusion of the conference, I was glad I wisely invested time to gain valuable insight into the rapidly changing landscape of business and the need to creatively adapt. I walked away with resources I can immediately implement and timely advice from a wide spectrum of experts.”
Ruby Mayeda
Dream-Tank

Thanks for a terrific experience. The entrepreneurs’ event was really something special. It was not easy choosing which four of the twelve breakout sessions to attend. I guess, that was because I couldn’t have made a wrong choice. Every session I attended was to the point, immediately useful and professionally delivered.

The format of the sample presentations was very effective. I also appreciated the 15-minute breaks between each event. As with all Make-it-Fly events, much of the value is in the conversations with other Make-it-Fly members. Friday was no exception. I made two connections, each of which alone was worth the price of admission.

I am looking forward to the next conference and will surely be on the early signup sheet. No one should miss the opportunity for this concentrated education and first-class relationship building.
