Business Expo at UVSC

I was at the Business Expo held at UVSC in Provo yesterday. I was really happy that I attended this year. I got a free ticket from Funding Universe (an organization that helps entrepreneurs with creating effective business plans and getting funding from investors.) So, it was kind of a last minute decision to attend.

Bill Rancic -- the famous "Apprentice" winner was the keynote speaker for the first day. I didn't get a chance to hear him, but he spoke about having passion for what you do.

I really enjoyed seeing all of the business resources in Utah Valley. There were internet marketing companies (all of whom talked down to me as a woman -- like I didn't know anything about computers or internet marketing -- hmm), but I decided to think of it as funny rather than offensive.

I actually had some new business ideas as I saw what some vendors could provide my current business.

I made a bunch of new contacts, and I even won a really nice Golf Bag from Zions Bank. Yeah! Very cool. So, overall it was a great way to spend my day.

I attended the conference as well. There were quite a few internet marketing companies in attendance, including some I had never heard of before.
