Sinika - It's mainly geared towards a design/lifestyle blogger's perspective, but anyone is welcome to go. I bet you'd like it!

Fun to read the inspiration from alt! I want to go next year- but is it weird for a non-business person to go? I just love blogging and blogs...

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful comments! I have enjoyed & found inspiration from all the creative people at Alt every year. Lucky for me, it's local, so I can plan on going again next year!

Angela - I know what you mean. I've felt that way at times, too. I think that we won't all be great at everything. But we can all be great at something. Often it might not be the thing we initially set out to do, you know? Also, My friend Carolyn of Carolyn Suzuki Paper Goods recently brought this quote from Ira Glass to my attention. So good: http://lifeasahuman.com/files/2011/08/Picture-5.png

Thanks for sharing your recap and insight from Alt! I think it's really useful for those of us who are just trying to figure it all out, both personally and in the blog world. I hope you'll occasionally post on these kinds of topics again!

Fabulous recap Eva!! And thank you for stopping by my blog. It was so nice to sit next to you at lunch and kuddos to you for asking Ben such a great question! Best wishes to you in 2012. Hope to see you next year at ALT!

Eva - thank you for this recap. I appreciate you sharing what you learned since I wasn't able to attend.

It was so nice to meet you at Alt, Eva! Your cards are so beautiful. And I have to say that this was my big takeaway from Alt, too. So often we do things because we think we should, or other people expect us to, but what really matters (and can often result in great success down the line) is just to be YOU. Hope to see you again! xx

Eva, thanks for these inspiring words. Being true to yourself is always a great reminder. Also, you look adorable!

Thanks for this post! There was so much to learn at ALT, but all three of these little nuggets were things I especially needed to hear. Working on that "Do What You Love" (and delegate the rest) advice.

"Be you"- that is definitely a message that I also took away from Alt. Thank you for the the recap and great reminders...and how fun were those photo booths!

Thanks so much for sharing, Eva!

I'm struggling with where I'd like to take things with my business. Your post gave me good things to think about.

wow. i love the way you recapped ALT! it's just what i took out of it but said much better than i could have ever done. it was great meeting you too!

2012-01-26T15:18:51.064-07:00

GREAT recap! After all of the recaps I've read, this one is truly what I came away with too... After just one year blogging, I feel like being true to myself is just starting to fall into place, and I'm super excited about where that will take me!
THANK YOU for the reminder!

2012-01-26T12:47:49.130-07:00

I follow a lot of bloggers that attended the Alt Summit, and reading what you said was great..however, it doesn't resolve the age old fear that no one will read my blog because they don't like it. It reminds me of being told time and time again when I was little that it didn't matter what I looked like on the outside, it's what inside-and then I went to school and it wasn't true.
At least for a long while. Hopefully that made sense. Was that addressed at Alt? I'd love for you to share!

2012-01-26T09:59:52.490-07:00

Great post! I so needed to hear all of this right now. Sometimes I get caught up in everything I envision for our business, that it's overwhelming to even get started. Thanks so much for sharing what you learned at Alt with us!

2012-01-26T09:19:10.938-07:00

This is such a wonderful recap! You really flushed out the key points of the conference this year :) I definitely need to re-evaluate all three points - this post was so helpful (and I was at Alt too! :).

2012-01-26T08:47:18.070-07:00

What a great re-cap! I wasn't able to make this event, but I'm so glad there's so much coverage on it because it looks like it was well worth the effort of attending!

2012-01-26T08:42:38.269-07:00

This is all such great advice! I was in Sarah Jane's panel also and her advice about delegating really struck a cord with me too. I often get stuck in the mindset that people are expecting me to do it all, when in reality they're just expecting me to do my best. Not someone else's best, but MY best. And Susan's wise words? They've been echoing in my mind since I first spotted her video. xo.

It was great meeting you at dinner the 1st night at Alt. Love this post- I took many similar things away and am working on some goals to start moving toward before I lose momentum! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

2012-01-26T07:14:16.650-07:00

Love this post! Thanks so much for sharing your take on the conference.

One of my goals for 2012 (seeing as it's still a fresh start to a new year) is to take some time to define business goals and vision for the future. I just haven't had time yet! Thanks for the reminder, I should get on that, soon! :)
