What Areas Of The Summit Are Most Problematic
➡️ Naming your summit
➡️ Contracts
Questions To Ask When Naming Your Summit
👉 Is this copyrighted?
👉 Does it have a trademark?
👉 If someone actually says that it does, what are my rights in this scenario?
👉 How do I handle this scenario?
👉 What are some things that I might want to document?
What To Ensure In Your Contracts
✔️ Make sure that your contract is legal in the state that you're in, but also in the niche that you're in
Dealing With Challenges With Contracts
➡️ How you're going to use the person's likeness and voice and offer
-
It varies sometimes state by state, even country by country
-
In some states, you can't record people without their explicit permission
➡️ Share it with the expert to make sure that they're okay with it
➡️ Some may want a certain fee or something, that's a piece that you want to be mindful of
➡️ Make sure that the platforms that you're sharing them on that the experts are okay with that as well
Challenges Summit Hosts May Experience
👉 Self-doubt - Am I good enough?
👉 Making sure that they have a summit that's appealing enough that people say yes to being a part of it
👉 Making sure that what it is that you're offering is actually meeting a need and that it’s standing out
👉 Thinking about how can you position what it is that you're offering in a way that's really relevant to what's happening in the world
How To Overcome These Challenges
✔️ Think about what people need and want
Final Piece Of Wisdom From Jackie
“Just go ahead and get your message out there. I cannot tell you how much of my life I've really missed out on just waiting and feeling like I'd needed to get it perfect. And so just knowing that even if you're doing a summit on health and there are all a thousand summits that Mark talks about are happening this year on health, you could still have a voice and have a place and do it in a way that's completely authentic to you. And that makes a difference for someone that never would have been impacted in that way. So just know that you have a place that you belong, that you have a voice that needs to be heard and needs to get out there.”

I want to end this episode by saying,
"I believe in YOU & YOU can do this."
Summits are by far one of the most powerful ways to quickly grow your list, launch your platform & make more money! (Even if you are just getting started).
Don’t get caught up in Analysis paralysis, because the world needs to hear your message & there are people who are waiting for you to help them.
So just get started. Imperfect action is always better than doing nothing!
