Have you ever found yourself in a situation that was less than what you
had hoped for? Recently my team and I paid for a booth at an expo that
promised to bring in large crowds and many like-minded vendors. What we
got was far from what had been promised. There were half as many
vendors as predicted. Among the participating vendors, there was an
overall feeling of desperation and lack (which completely conflicted
with the products and services they provide to the public). Traffic was
almost non-existent; approximately 100 people passed through the expo
the entire first day! It was definitely not worth the time and expense.
I had a feeling of uneasiness that reminded me of when I was sixteen
and arrived at a really bad school dance that only a few people
bothered to attend. My mind said "You don't belong here. Don't even set
your booth up - just walk out before anyone notices!" I was scheduled
to speak at 4:00 p.m., but to whom? Only a trickle of people walked in
the door. Who was going to stay and listen to the scheduled speakers?...
