It rains in Portland.
No duh.
It’s one of those ‘facts of life’ of living here in the City of Roses, or PDX, or Stumptown, or Bridge City, or Rip City; gosh I’ve never lived somewhere that had so many nicknames!
At my daughter’s school they fully embrace the philosophy that there’s no bad weather, only bad clothing.
We’re instructed at the beginning of each school year to have her cubbie full of rain pants, a raincoat, and rain boots. And we’re scolded if she ever gets out of the car at drop off without a rain jacket on.
(For Pet’e’s sake it’s just a little mist! But I digress, the rain here is nothing like I’ve experience growing up my whole life in the Midwest. When it rains in Wisconsin and Minnesota you SEE IT COMING and it rains HARD.)
Do I have a point?
Yes.
Does it relate to you?
Yes.
Preparation is 99% of the game when it comes to live events. That’s why I spend a whole module in Live Event Academy™ giving you all the tips and tricks when it comes to preparing. Because when you prepare, when you know HOW to be proactive, you eliminate problems before their problems.
And that’s a beautiful thing.
Make it an outstanding day.

p.s. My favorite live event preparation tip: go early. So simple. So very, very, effective. Show up (or have someone from your team show up) early (like hours early) for every single piece of your event, and ‘advance’ it, check that it’s all going down as you intended, and you’re golden.
