Friends, Listen up!  

Really, I am serious.  

Tickets are now on sale for the 2016 Southern C Summit.  They are selling like HOTCAKES! If you want to attend, BUY YOUR TICKET NOW! They will sell out, quickly.  

Do you really need a reason to escape for a few days to Charleston, SC? I do not.  I have marked my cal and booked my room. 

I have said it over and over but, this is the best spent time at any conferences I have attended.  This is for any business owner wanting to learn more about social media, branding, and blogging. The well curated group entrepreneurs and small business owners are beyond fun too.  

If you do not want a bad case of FOMO buy your ticket!
