I would personally like to extend my sincere thanks to Desslock, Bec, Chadknowlaw and DonMike for their kind words.
maxpower, I think people are offering you some good advice; one of the keys to success is the strength of the relationships you form. While webmasters events are an excellent way to achieve them, with a little more honey then vinegar, relationships can be made remotely that are solid and mutually advantageous.
1) DonMike and I have known each other for years indeed and first met when I was newbie buying my first content. It was a good 18 months before we met at a webmaster show but long before then, both on the phone and on web chat, as soon I said "it's Harlan from Florida," there was a real and sincere friendship long before we ever met face to face
2) a little later in my journey, I had become an avs webmaster and worked closely, albeit remotely, with that company's Marketing Director - a guy named Joe. We had never met until one day in the lobby of a hotel in Vegas at a show - we recognized each other from our avatar pics. That first encounter turned into something we call PrideBucks and Joe, along with his partner David, are people I today call my business partners and dear, trusted friends. Also at a webmaster show I met a girl named Rainey who about a year and a year later sent me an ICQ saying she was on her own consulting - today Joe, David and I proudly call her our Vice President of Marketing and Affiliate Relations.
The point: boards like this, and of the instant messaging programs and email are a wonderful way network, meet people & share knowledge that can allow you the generate the funds that in the future, may allow you to attend a webmaster IF you choose to. We all have a tie that binds no matter how big or small or what facet of the biz we are in, we all make our living one sale at a time.
Very well said Harlan!
I wish I we had audio so I could play some inspirational music and thundering applause. Excellent post, Harlan.
