Dallas 30DC Team Meetup

As part of the 30 Day Challenge, we’re encouraged to join a team.  I started out signed up for the Dallas are team on the 30DC team forum, but saw no participation on the thread.  With one day to go I signed up for the 30dcSwatTeam, an active, international team with a nice variety of skills with about 10 active members.

I headed out to the place that Karl had suggested for the Dallas team, with no idea who’d be there, if anybody. Worked out pretty well.  There were three guys from the forum there when I arrived, and we picked up one more shortly after.

Karl Johnson did a nice job of writing up the meeting, and we watched Ed’s kick-off streaming video and discussed our ideas, strengths, and hopes, as far as the challenge goes. Karl and I were joined by Eric Bisso, Erik Johnson and Mick (sorry Mick, didn’t catch your last name.)

It was great to put some faces to the names, and actually put together a team of like-minded souls to chase this internet marketing beast.  I think we’re all pretty excited about the possibilities of not only working through the challenge, but developing some friendships among fellow internet marketers. It’s clear that the networking element of this business can’t be overemphasized. Let’s build those rolodex’s.

Since then, Karl’s been doing a yeoman’s job of following up for the Dallas area, and documenting the videos we’ve been watching each day. The Dallas area traffic has definitely picked up, and it looks like we’ll have several more 30DC’ers showing up this week for our next meeting.  I can hardly wait to discuss our progress and meet a few more of the Dallas crowd.
