Have you ever met someone who successfully worked in over 25 industries? Probably not. Most people will work in the same few industries throughout their lives. While some people are okay with that, others would love the opportunity to try something different, but they allow their fears of the unknown to hold them back from doing so. Anyone who’d like to work in multiple sectors while having success should know it can get challenging at times, but it isn’t impossible. David Reiss Dallas is the perfect example of a self-made entrepreneur with experience and notoriety in 25+ industries!

David Reiss Dallas Offers the Encouragement Other Entrepreneurs Need

When reviewing his resume, it’s easy to see that David Reiss Dallas has decades’ worth of experience in dozens of industries while taking on important roles for companies, such as marketing, management, and leadership. “While I was in school earning my bachelor’s degree, I couldn’t decide between psychology and anthropology, so I majored in both. I started thinking about all the things I wanted to do. I didn’t want to set myself up to do one thing for the rest of my life. Instead, I liked the idea of having a diverse portfolio by holding different positions and gaining experience in various industries,” shared Reiss. “It’s the reason I went on to earn two master’s degrees and a Ph.D. (ABD). I wanted to further my education to do more in life. I’ve learned that once you find your passion in life, it’s good to take that passion and use it to gain success in different industries. Of course, you can’t be afraid to take risks.”

Risk-taking has never been a problem for Reiss, who says he’s always up for the challenge. He wants other self-made entrepreneurs to feel the same, encouraging them to take a step in a different direction to try new things, some of which may seem challenging initially. He applies his professional experience and extensive knowledge to The Mastery Group, a professional group tailored to support and encourage entrepreneurs who want to make a name for themselves. “With The Mastery Group, we want to help entrepreneurs see things from new perspectives and get more information on important topics within different industries, including, “Pull Marketing” and the use of psychology to connect with consumers. It’s a safe space for professionals to learn valuable information and network with each other. The goal is to help these business professionals achieve more success,” said Reiss. “Too many entrepreneurs think that sticking to one thing is the best thing for business, but that isn’t always true. I provide professional training to give these individuals the motivation they need to take that leap and have success in as many industries as possible or, at the very least, learn how to apply what works in one industry to their own.”

 Known as a best-selling author and serial entrepreneur with experience in 25+ industries under his belt, David Reiss Dallas has a plethora of valuable knowledge to offer others. In addition, he’s not afraid of taking risks and wants to show others that the risks involved in entrepreneurship are worth the reward. Serious entrepreneurs can learn the ropes and get the guidance needed when joining The Mastery Group.

Selena Soo (@selena_soo) shares that her team and herself have always been passionate about creating opportunities for deep human connection between our clients and students in our group coaching programs and mastermind experiences.

So when she first started implementing virtual events during the Coronavirus pandemic, we were reluctant, but out of options.

At the time, she had been preparing for two in-person events we had slated — one two-day retreat for our exclusive mastermind group, and our first ever three-day live teaching experience, Impacting Millions LIVE.

Both were going to be held at stunning locations in Los Angeles, and they were so excited to have everyone together in one place. But given the state of the world, they knew they had to make the switch to virtual.

They immediately began exploring different ways we could create the same powerful effect that our in-person events were known for and, in the process, discovered a whole new kind of magic!

As it turns out, our virtual experiences were just as exciting, intimate, and transformative as our other live events—and in some ways, even more so.

Our clients have been obsessed with their experiences, and now these virtual gatherings are an essential part of our programs.

If you’re ready to start hosting virtual events of your own, Selena shares a few of her secrets. 

1 — Breakout rooms 

We host all of our events on Zoom, which has an awesome breakout room feature. This allows us to provide a more intimate experience and a deeper level of support and engagement. It gives our students and clients greater opportunity for direct feedback from our coaches and fosters strong emotional connections.

2 — Built-in movement breaks.

When you’re sitting in front of a computer all day, it’s so important to add in time for movement. Activating your body after periods of stillness gets rid of stale energy and makes you feel more energized, which is conducive to learning. Bonus points if you work in upbeat music with your movement breaks… we love a good dance party over here. 

3 — Surprise gift boxes.

If you have a smaller group, send them a box of little things to enjoy or use during the retreat that will mimic the experience of an in-person event. If everyone in the virtual room is sharing some of your favorite snacks or jotting down thoughts in a colorful notebook just for them, it creates an atmosphere of shared experience and a fun conversation piece. Not to mention, it’s an added surprise that will make them feel extra special!

I hope this inspires you to host a powerful virtual event of your own!
