Eric Rozenberg

Your title is the quietest voice in your network.

As small business owners, our network rises with our character when no one is buying.

I watched a President's Club winner go from champagne to severance in one email. Big logo. Loud title. Thin network. Two months later, the only thing that was calling back was the echo.

I also watched a mid-level rep with no fancy title change companies and fill her calendar in two weeks. She hosted a small roundtable every month. She shared honest field notes. She introduced smart people to each other with consent. Her reputation traveled faster than her business card.

Here is the unpopular truth. A network built on job titles collapses the moment the title changes. A network built on value survives every reorg.

Your network is more than your role. It is proof of work outside your payroll. It is the room that remembers you after your badge changes color. It is an insurance policy for your pipeline and your identity.

If you want to grow your event business and your relationships require a calendar invite to exist, you are one action away from irrelevance. The market rewards connectors who create value without a pitch.

Practical ways to build that kind of network today:

Be known for a problem, not a position. Teach the market how to think about that problem.

Publish your field notes weekly. What you tried, what you learned, what failed. Make it useful and specific.

Create one valuable introduction each week with clear context and mutual permission. Track outcomes and follow up.

Keep a give list. Three people you can help right now with a brief teardown, a reference story, or a resource.

Ask for advice before you ask for access. Then report back with results. Close the loop.

Own a recurring ritual. Office hours, study group, book club, and customer panel. Show up even when attendance is small.

Send gratitude with receipts. Name the specific moment that helped you and how you applied it.

Stop collecting titles you would not invite to coffee if you lost your quota tomorrow. Start building friendships that still return your call when there is nothing to buy.

If your network knows your craft, your generosity, and your follow-through, you have leverage no downturn can erase.

Growth starts when you walk your talk. Here’s how leaders evolve from doing to leading. 📈 ✅

In events industry, the to-do list never ends.
But here’s what I’ve learned after decades in events and business:

You don’t win by doing more.
You win by doing what matters most.

Protect your time. Prioritize the needle-movers.
That’s where real growth comes from.

Strong operations = sustainable growth.

Lisa Gregory shares key lessons on building event services operations that fuel capacity, consistency, and success.

A must-listen for every event professional aiming to scale.

#EventBusinessFormula #TheBusinessOfMeetings #EventPros #EventOperations #BusinessSystems

Lisa Gregory said it best:
“Scale comes from systems, not sweat.”

If you’re still relying on effort alone, you’ll eventually hit a ceiling.
But when you build systems, you build freedom, capacity, and consistency.
That’s where real growth begins.

Bill Gallagher likes to  cross-polls from hospitality to tech to construction - he pokes at your defaults (“Why that way? Who does it better? What’s the parallel?”), 

And suddenly, the thing you’ve been wrestling with has a new path forward.

Before 30, Bill Gallagher helped grow a division to $550M—then realized the checks didn’t match the headline. Minimal equity. Fewer real friends than he thought. A bigger ego than he knew.

So he walked away and started from zero: renting an office, buying a fax machine, chasing cross-cultural marketing work, and learning the difference between influence that comes from a logo…and influence you actually own.

It’s a story about status vs. substance, and how a humbling restart can forge a smarter leader.
