Episode 51: Why Virtual Isn’t Enough: The Real ROI of Being in the Room
Episode Summary
In this episode, I’m sharing why virtual just isn’t enough—and why in-person events have been one of the biggest game changers in my business. As a former middle school teacher turned seven-figure entrepreneur, I didn’t have the flexibility to travel and speak at conferences when I first started. So instead of waiting for someone to invite me to the stage, I created my own. Hosting workshops gave me the confidence, content, and connection I needed to build my brand—and it can do the same for you.
I’m walking you through the real difference between virtual and in-person experiences, including the live coaching, immersive focus, and powerful networking that only happens when you’re in the room. If you're trying to decide whether attending or hosting a live event is worth the investment, this episode breaks it all down.
I also give you an inside look at the 7-Figure Bestseller Summit—an exclusive, one-day workshop where I’ll personally coach you through writing your book and building a monetized brand. If you’ve been feeling the limitations of Zoom and you're ready for real momentum, this episode is your invitation to get in the room.
Key Takeaways:
-
In-person > virtual: You can't replicate live coaching, energy, or connections in a breakout Zoom room.
-
Experience creates transformation: Attending live events collapses your learning curve and increases execution speed.
-
Immersion beats information: Virtual learning often leads to procrastination; in-person environments allow for focused implementation.
-
Strategic networking happens in hallways: Some of the most powerful collaborations and contracts are born during lunch breaks, not during keynotes.
-
Not all events are created equal: Choose experiences with fewer speakers, more access, and a clear framework for action.
-
Jasmine’s recommendation: Every entrepreneur should host at least one live event a year, even a small workshop, to build authority and connection.
Memorable Quotes:
“Virtual gives you information, but in-person gives you implementation—and transformation.”
“I got tired of waiting for someone to invite me to the stage… so I built my own.”
“You can do more in one day at a focused, in-person event than you can in weeks at home.”
