Yeah! I went to JV Alert Live! Here in Vegas and it was great I picked up a couple of golden nuggets. I let them do the talking and I did the listening.

I will tell you a TRUE STORY about how I became a good listener so before you scroll down and see all the pictures below I suggest that you read this story first.

Ok! here we go! As many of you know that I always talk about, here on my blog, that I was born and raised in the Philippines and growing up was great! I had everything I needed and my parents were doing great financially as well.

Actually my parents ran two night clubs (in Subic Bay) back in the early 80’s till the early 90’s when the US base was still in the Philippines and these night clubs were just blocks away from each other and I like the one versus the other because of the music, back when I was a teenager.

So I hung around this night club (the name is East Coast RockThe Most) a lot just to observe the way everyone was dancing. This night club was exclusively for service men on the base.

I remember it was pretty new too and they spent so much money on the lightning for the dance floor.

There was a laser light that drew names on the wall also there were lights that were synchronized to the music so that when it was loud it created a raining effect it was pretty cool.

It was a three story building and you could see the dance floor when you looked down from the balcony. There was a pool table, jazz room, arcade (My Fave at the time) and a snack bar.

Anyways one Saturday night I went with my Dad to the club, he managed everything there himself and when we got there man I loved the music (I think one of LL Cool J songs was playing), the beat and the crowd were really getting down!!

So my Dad and I went straight to the office and he ordered me some French Fries (again my fave at that time, I limit fast food now a days) my Dad went out to do his rounds you know check everyone the bar crew, receptionist, and checking the night Sales and so on.

I was still in the office eating my french fries and watching TV too! When I finished I started to go out and walk around and most of the employees knew me and were saying hi to me.

They’re like my family because my parents treated everyone as a member of our family that’s why I felt at home and comfortable going there.

My favorite spot was the third floor where I could see the dance floor below and watch everyone dancing and I’m not gonna lie I picked up some new moves Ha! Ha!

As I was watching everyone just having a good time and having fun, the music was really great and all of a sudden the DJ started playing a very slow, horrid song and everyone just left the dance floor and I said “WHAT?” “Why did they do that?”

Everyone was having a great time then they threw in this horrible song and no one wanted to dance anymore. So I was in a hurry to find my Dad and I wanted to let him know what this DJ was doing.

I finally met up with him and I said, “Dad I need to talk to you real quick” so he took me to the office and said, “What is it son?” and I told him, “You need to talk to the DJ to keep playing good music because your losing business. (thought I was smart)

I saw everyone just walking off the dance floor because he put a terrible song on!” My Dad started laughing and I said, “What’s so funny?” he said, “Son come here I will show you why!”

So we went out of the office and we were both looking down from the third floor and he said “Look we need to play at least three horrible songs a night” and I said, “But why Dad?”

His reply was, “You see if they keep dancing all night we’re not going to make any money because they’re not going to buy any drinks or food so we need to break up the momentum.

Since they’ve been dancing they’ll be thirsty and a little snack will help too so they’ll go straight to the bar and get themselves something to drink and get some food from the snack bar.”

As we headed down to the snack bar he sure was right because there was a line of people waiting to buy some snacks and everyone was just talking, eating and drinking and my Dad said, “You see, now you know why!” and I was blown away.

I mean my Dad’s a pretty smart guy and to this day I still remember that and the moral of the story is if you just shut up and listen you’ll get a couple of golden nuggets.

That’s why when I went to JV Alert Live people came up to me and I let them talk and share their ideas with me and at the end I picked up a few great ideas.

Anyways, here are the pictures taken from JV Alert Live! That’s Willie Crawford and I.

I talked to him and hung around with him the whole time. We went to lunch together everyday for the past 3 days and had dinner the last day with his wife and my family (my Wife and kids).

I’ve known Willie Crawford for five years now, he helped me out when I was just starting out with NetBizReview.com we did an interview together 4 yrs ago.

I was a little embarrassed when it was his turn to speak because as soon as he opened his mouth he mentioned my name and used me as an example because I bought all his books (in the past) and he was saying that it was good to read up on anything that pertains to your business and so on…
