I think I have a conference hangover

So it’s been about 1.5 weeks now since I’ve returned from San Francisco from the Elite Retreat. When I was done with the conference, I had hundreds of ideas literally flowing in my head. I was itching to get home and get cracking on them. I sat down and talked with my partner for the fitness site last week and we mapped out some plans for what we need to do to get our site at least to a soft launch. I erased all the details and whittled the site down to the core of what’s needed for a launch. I’d rather launch with all the gizmos and gadgets, but I guess it’s also beneficial to get going and work out bugs.

Ever since that sit down, I’ve just felt a bit overwhelmed and can’t really find one thing to concentrate on. Getting content ready, organizing designers, programmers, logo makers, contracts and everything else that goes into making a new site is extremely time consuming and taxing. All I want to do is get this thing up and start putting content on it, but our designer is taking longer than expected, and producing high quality articles/videos is not easy. I’ve been discouraged a few times this past week and got nothing accomplished for about 3 days. I jumped back into the saddle today and we knocked out some solid videos, and plan on doing some more this weekend.I really just feel that conferences can be tough on you cause they’re like a ramped up energy drink. You have two days of nothing but business talk and you don’t care about anything except absorbing as much information as possible. Everything else in your life becomes a detail. Then when it’s all done, you make the trip home, organize everything you learned, catch up on email, other problems, laundry, rent etc… It’s really a ton of crap all coming at you at once. On top of all that you have a boatload of ideas running rampant through your head and you just want to start implementing them as soon as possible.

You really go from one extreme to another. 10 days ago I was in a room getting personal help from Brian Clark, Shoemoney and Aaron Wall…… now I’m sitting in my room all by myself trying to crank out content and organize business plans. Quite different.

My plan for this weekend is to really focus on 1-2 major things that I want to get done. I’m trying to come up with a new name for another membership site/product site that I’m going to be starting, and also I’m looking to get everything straightened out with the designer for our fitness site.

Conference hangovers – Have you ever experienced one? If so are there any good ways to go about dealing with it??? Or am I just too drunk to be writing this post?
