The 2024 Democrat platform calls for the repeal of section 1031. The plan references it as a loophole for wealthy investors. However, it's been around for 100 years because it actually adds to the tax base, jobs, housing, neighborhoods, farming and the economy. Every four years we must remind our senators, congressmen and the president of the math. Dan Wagner with Inland Real Estate Group joins Michael Bull, CCIM to discuss the 1031 exchange, benefits for communities, businesses, and property owners, and how you can contact your legislators to preserve like-kind exchanges on the tax code.  Additionally visit 1031.org for more information.  ShareFile - Secure, digital solutions to simplify workflows and improve collaboration. https://ShareFile.com CREi Summit 2024 - CRE Digital Marketing & Social Media Conference in Atlanta, GA September 11-13: https://creisummit.com/ CCIM + C5 Summit 2024 - CRE Conference Covering Every Area of the Industry in Hollywood, FL September 17-19: https://c5summit.realestate/ Bull Realty - Customized Asset & Occupancy Solutions: https://www.bullrealty.com/ Commercial Agent Success Strategies - The ultimate commercial broker training resource: https://www.commercialagentsuccess.com/ Watch the video versions of our show on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/c/Commercialrealestateshow Follow us at: @BullRealty https://twitter.com/bullrealty @CRE_show https://twitter.com/CRE_show

Cambridge Social Media Day (7th& 8th Nov): www.cambridgesocial.media/csm-day-2019/ Guest and Episode LinksLenka Koppová https://www.lenkakoppova.com/blog @lenkakopp: https://twitter.com/lenkakopp@lenkakopp: https://www.instagram.com/lenkakopp/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lenkakoppova/ https://www.facebook.com/lenkakoppova90  Books:Rise of the Youpreneur – Chris Ducker: https://amzn.to/2Zuqtg9 Other Links:Paralleldots.com: https://www.paralleldots.com/sentiment-analysis Enjoy the Episode - Happy Marketing! www.marketingstudylab.co.uk https://www.linkedin.com/in/petersumpton/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/marketingstudylab/ https://twitter.com/cousinp81(@cousinp81) Intro Sentiment analysis. No not the stuff the ends up at the bottom of a river (science facts). Sentiment analysis is a way to analyse social chatter about your brand. And we have a great link where you can try it out for yourself. But more of that later.  Straight onto our guest this week - who is a freelance social media consultant based in Cambridge, UK, this part is important as Lenka Koppová, helps small, local businesses leverage the power of social media and I’m fascinated to understand how this all works, when we are all strapped for time, let alone running a small business as well as trying to drum up that all important social brand presence. Not only that, why is it so important for small (probably well known in the local area) businesses to have a social presence? Lenka is the perfect person to provide this insight for us. Not only does Lenka run local businesses social media, but she also runs a Social Media Conference, yep you guessed it, locally, in Cambridge. This year it’s being help on the 7th and 8th November so there is still time to get your tickets (link as ever, is in the show notes).   Takeaways - Why should small businesses use social media in there Marketing? Lenka believes this can help to build relationships online as well as offline. Think about it, even though you might be local to a butcher, a baker or a… I’ll leave it there, the chances are you will consume some content online – opening hours, special offers etc, which helps build a reputation locally and this can be done on social. - Time strapped businesses should also find the time to do this, but with efficiency. Have a plan, understand what you want to achieve and most important of all don’t procrastinate or fall down that rabbit hole – There is a HUGE difference between being on social and utilising it for business. - And finally, Lenka doesn't have a formal qualification. As she pointed out, there are so many different ways to learn. And this goes for any type of Marketing Qualification or job role. Reading blogs, listening to podcasts, YouTube, conferences, online training, the list goes on. Try using these for your own research and start to expand your own knowledge around a topic you’re passionate about.   Top Tip – Sentiment Analysis  We're going to do a few things here. Firstly explain what sentiment analysis is, secondly what this actually means and finally why we may have to be careful with the results! So firstly, what is sentiment analysis. Put simply it is a from of text analysis that allow us to workout whether the people we are trying to engage with are saying positive, negative or pretty neutral things about us as a company, our products or services.  The science-y bit would tell us that it is a type of data-mining that measures opinion through NLP – Natural Language Processing, text analysis and computational linguistics. This is then analysed and reveals the contextual polarity of a subject, company, product or service. So what could go wrong!?!?! Well, Paralleldots.com (https://www.paralleldots.com/sentiment-analysis) has a neat little tool where you can test your own statements and what sentiment this creates (the link is in the show notes). The issue here is that the analysis finds it difficult to notice the nuances of some human emotions. For example, I typed: That food was amazing. It even came with a free bug! 90.90% Positive. Full disclosure, there was never a bug. Try it for yourself and let me know your results.  Music Featured on this Podcast: Sleepy in the Garde Lobo Loco www.musikbrause.deCreative Commons License

Over the last couple of years, I've featured multiple guests who were speakers at the Social Media Strategies Summit conferences. Today's guest is the unsung hero behind the scenes of those conferences, Breanna Jacobs. Breanna is the VP of Conference Production at Global Strategic Management Institute (GSMI), a conference and training company. Breanna works to plan, organize and put on The Social Media Strategies Summit conferences three times a year. They’re delivered in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. Be sure to catch the 15% promo code Breanna provides at the end of this post. I've had the pleasure and honor of working with Breanna at seven Summits, both as an emcee and a speaker. For this episode, I asked Breanna to share her deep insights into how to get huge value and ROI when you attend a conference. I can’t think of anyone more qualified than Breanna to share these insights with you considering how many conferences she puts on each year.  View the show notes page: five-ways-get-huge-value-from-attending-conferences/five-ways-get-huge-value-from-attending-conferences

Social Media Conference, Public Speaking, Marketing, Networking, DIY Entrepreneurship, and more with Wesley Hoffman and Corey Smale. Find them on Twitter: The Strangehouse, @thestrangehouse, Wesley Hoffman, @wesleyhoffman, Corey Smale, @coreysmale.  MHH147 -  Wesley Hoffman. Corey Smale. Today's show is brought to you by Casper. Meet the guys behind #STRANGEHOUSEWORKSHOP and @thestrangehouse Podcast. A new kind of marketing conference. Food and brew included. They hired me to speak about my longevity and how I learned to connect with my audience above all else. And that led me down the social media path pretty early on. We started our website MXPX.com on March 19, 1996. In this episode we talk mainly about the event and the business atmosphere in St. Louis. March 11. We also cover the actual planning and workflow that was done to prepare for the event. We get a little granular at times but ultimately we bare out some gems. I'm hoping you agree. We get inside a few deep layers here. I really hope you can get something good out of this talk. I did. I'm always learning new ways to live and think. As I travel I'm always meeting new and interesting people. St. Louis was no exception. Listen and enjoy a look inside the stories that make up our lives. And please send in your comments in the section below or wherever you see me on social media. TOPICS- Delayed flight. City Museum. Food. Drinks. Social media. Songs. I always change my set. So I do things I don't plan. And don't do things I do plan. It's like joy/pain. Bitter/sweet.  MORE TOPICS- Morning routines. weekly habits. Mentioned docs & TV- Viceland- Fuck that's Delicious, Bompton with Kendrick Lemar. Recent Books. Are you an entrepreneur or Freelancer?  I'm a dichotomy. I'm both. But something like a business type can't really define you. We are always making micro adjustments in our lives and in our world view. Business is the perfect example because it never stops changing and common sense is common of reason. A big turning point and catalyst for change in my life was inevitable. But specifically for me it was continued self-learning. Books. Then The Internet. Podcasts. YouTube. Documentaries. Live Performance. I study humans. And writing. Questions. Is exercise important to being happy? What does it do for you? If not, why don't you need it? 2 Pac. Hit me up. Bad boy killas. I work out to shit like that. I get serious about it. But I also think a lot. Solve problems. Ideas just hit me. Hit me up. I'm always writing down lines and ideas between sets. On my phone usually. I look like a teenager glued to my phone. But I'm writing it down cause every time I don't, I forget.  I also work out to songs like, Fat Bottom Girls by Queen. Try not getting a burst of energy with that kick drum pumping and Freddy giving so much of himself. SO music can definitely move you. However, we don't talk about Queen in this episode. Get after it! FREE MUSIC CONTEST- After the weekend I will pick 1 lucky winner from my email list. PRIZE-That person will get to choose 1 of any piece of music off of the MXPX Merch Arsenal. WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

This Week’s Episode I’m sharing 10 tips (plus a few bonus ones, too!) for attending and getting the most out of your first blogging or social media conference. As regular listeners know, this year I spoke at the #WeAllGrow Summit by Latina Bloggers Connect and #BlogHer15: Experts Among Us. These were my first two blogging conferences, and I have plenty of ideas to share! You may be thinking this episode isn’t relevant to you if you aren’t including blogging as part of your business model, but most of these tips are transferable to any conference or event where both colleagues and potential sponsors are in attendance. The tips are: Pack thoughtfully and light Dress for your niche Bring business cards Read ALL of the emails Organize and plan before the event Know your purpose Pad your budget Go the expo (or marketplace or vendor area) during off hours Add recovery time to your schedule Don’t forget to follow up These tips will help you prepare for, navigate, and then get the most value for your business out of the event. But first… Let’s talk about saving money on attendance. The primary reason I haven’t attended blogging conferences in the past is because I didn’t want to spend a lot on registration and travel. There are four great ways to save money on any conference you plan to attend. Register at the Early Bird Rate. Virtually all conferences have an “early bird” rate for people who register far in advance. This rate often expires prior to the finalization of the agenda, so you may feel anxious about signing up for an event that may not focus on exactly what you need for your business. The good news is that most of these events allow you to transfer your registration for a small fee, so you can sell your ticket to someone else after the early bird period ends for a slightly higher amount without losing any money. Use a promo code. Most conference speakers and some sponsors will have promotional codes that provide a discount. These may be a bit harder to find (unless you stalk each and every speaker on social media/blog/podcast before the event), but the savings are generally quite significant. Volunteer. Many events offer free registration to volunteers who may staff registration, the expo, assist with workshops, etc. This option is much more hands on and requires that you do some work! But it can also be a great way to meet people and get on the radar of the organizers before next year’s event. Some of sponsors and vendors may also need help staffing their tables. While these (usually competitive) opportunities are often announced closer to the event, be proactive and reach out to the organizers to ask about available volunteer positions early. Speak. Panelists and workshop speakers are generally provided with free registration (and some events provide additional compensation including room and board and/or a speaker fee). For more tips for getting started as a speaker, listen to Episode 33: 7 Steps for Pitching Your Ideas for Workshops, Presentations, and Panel Sessions to Conferences and Events. And, it goes without saying that you’ll save a lot on travel by attending a local conference. 10 Tips for Attending (and Getting the Most Out of) Your First Blogging or Social Media Conference Once you’ve gotten registration (and travel plans, if necessary) out of the way, let’s talk about the other ways to get the most out of the event. Pack thoughtfully and light As yarn crafters, we often travel with yarn, hooks and needles, works-in-progress, and more. I’m definitely guilty of this. However… You may not have as much “down time” for crocheting or knitting as you expect, You may be picking up quite a few free samples, gift bags, and other items at this event. You’ll need as much space in your bag as possible to bring these goodies home. Don’t forget to bring comfortable shoes, as you may be on your feet walking and standing a lot If you organize and plan before the event, you’ll know exactly what type of clothing to bring for all the activities you plan to participate in. Dress for your niche Dress appropriately for your niche/brand. Fashion-oriented bloggers will need to dress differently from mommy bloggers. As a yarn-related business owner, don’t miss the opportunity to show off your handiwork. Handmade accessories (or clothing) are great conversation starters and help people to recognize you. There are hundreds (or thousands!) of people at these events, so everything you can do to stand out (while promoting your business) helps. At each of these blogging conferences, someone came up to me and introduced themselves, knowing who I was based on recognizing something I made! Bring business cards As an online business owner and blogger, you may think that everything is electronic, on your smartphone, or in the cloud. Actually, a lot of people are still dealing with paper! Here are two bonus business card tips: Design your own cards with a matte back with little to no text. This allows people to take notes on the back of your card, increasing the likelihood they will remember (and follow up) with you. Bring a small pouch for your cards and a pen. While many people use their ID badge holder for their own business cards and those of others they meet, I prefer to bring a small pouch that holds a pen and my cards, with room for picking up other cards. This allows me to always have a pen handy for my own notes. The pouch also keeps everything together once I get home for easier follow up. Read ALL of the emails This is the hardest tip to follow! Most events will bombard you with emails, especially in the weeks leading up to the event. When you are stressed out about taking time off for a conference, it might seem best to skip reading these all together. These emails often include special pre-conference events, opportunities to meet with sponsors, and other activities that may not be on the formal agenda. By deleted or skipping these, you may miss out on a lot! Organize and plan before the event Again, with the time pressures before the event, many bloggers just want to show up and dive right in. As an introvert, this strategy doesn’t work for me as I get easily overwhelmed once I’m on site. Instead, I review the emails and the posted agenda and I create my own schedule. This may include workshops or panel events I plan to attend, meetings with sponsors, meetups, sightseeing, or meals with friends. I create two tiers in my schedule – activities that I must attend (like a one-on-one meeting with a potential sponsor) and activities that I might attend (like a workshop that looks sort of interesting). When I get on site, I’m very flexiblle about ditching those activities in the second category. Know your purpose So, what are you hoping to get out of this event? Understanding your goal in advance will help you focus all of your preparations and your activities at the conference. Some of the main reasons people attend blogging conferences are to: Learn. Are you primarily in attendance for professional development? You may find it important to spend more time in workshops, panels, and other structured activities. Network. Are you primarily looking for other bloggers to collaborate with? You may find it helpful to keep your schedule flexible so you can spend a lot of time chatting informally. You might also want to connect with some people of interest before the event to set up meetings or interviews. Find a sponsor. If sponsorship is your primary goal, you may spend more time in the expo hall and at sponsored workshops, and be more thoughtful about the brands you wear or bring with you to the event. You could also reach out to some of the brands in advance to try and schedule one-to-one meetings. Get ideas for your own event. Perhaps you are planning a local meetup or small blogging conference. In that case, you may want keep a critical eye on the way the event is organized and presented. Pad your budget Conferences can get expensive. If (ahem) you’re also a bit on the cheap side like me, you’ll find it tempting to have a very tight budget. Keep a cushion for a restaurant lunch with new friends (rather than the on-site panel lunch), sightseeing, or to purchase books or other goods from vendors and speakers. If you’re also an introvert, you may also need to skip some of the larger meal events and eat alone, so having some leeway in your budget is helpful. Go the expo (or marketplace or vendor area) during off hours If you want to speak to sponsors and vendors, schedule your visits in the off hours. These will be different depending on the conference, but in general the night before the main conference “kick off,” during workshops or popular panels, and early in the morning are quieter times. Avoid the scheduled “expo break” times, if possible. Add recovery time to your schedule You may be losing out on a lot of work or family time to attend a conference, so what many people do is work up to the last minute and then try to immediately jump right back into the swing of things when they return. If you’re traveling, you may be jet lagged or have a travel delay. Even if you are in your hometown, you’ll find that you may be exhausted after the conference. You’ll probably be doing a lot of walking, projecting your voice in loud spaces, etc. Be sure to add some recovery time into your schedule. You may find that prescheduling blog and social posts for the week of your return will give you some breathing room. Another bonus tip: Preschedule some of your social media activity related to the conference, using the official conference hashtag. This will give you more time to focus on the conference and not on sharing while on site. Don’t forget to follow up Separate yourself from the pack by following up with people after the conference. Build time into your schedule after the conference for following up with potential sponsors, collaborators, and others that you meet. Even if you do one or two emails a day, you will be doing more than most people. Think about how/if you want to follow people you met at the event. I find Twitter lists very helpful because I can keep track of people I met at an event without going over my follower limits.

I have had the pleasure of meeting so many mompreneurs, friends, colleagues and clients via Social Media like twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. But I just got back from meeting many of my online friends in person at EVO '10: The Evolution of Women in Social Media Conference in beautitiful Park City, Utah. Tune into today's Audio Blog as I talk about how to be intentional about networking at live events, and how to use social media before and after the event to build stronger real life relationships. Join Lara Galloway, The Mom Biz Coach, every Tuesday and Thursday at 11:30am ET as she shares mothering tips, business strategies, and the joys and chaos of being a mom entrepreneur.
