I used to have a very similar mindset. I was always looking for people to provide value to me, but never wanted to pay for it. I only wanted to spend money on consumable goods. Heck, just this week I was grumbling about paying $5 to go to an entrepreneurs meetup in my city. That's right $5! Unsurprisingly, between some of the people I met, the knowledge I gained, and the free drinks provided it was more than worth the mere $5 sticker price. I understand you have a business you are trying to fund, but have you considered that some of the information and connections you make at this conference could cause your business to grow 10x bigger and faster than if you didn't go? You could be standing in a room with people who have their business where you are trying to take yours. Do you think they are there because they want to talk about the weather and fantasy football or to be a resource for those who are trying to get where they are at and to meet like minded people? You know the answer. Is that really an opportunity you want to pass up? I only started reading this forum a few months ago, and I'll admit I'm very much still a newbie compared to most the veteran posters. I can tell you this much though, I am not going to miss out on going to this conference. Too much value to pass up on. Do I have the money for a $300 conference, a plane ticket from Virginia, and a hotel room for 2-3 days? Heck no. But I'm going to find a way to come up with that money. The biggest thing I've learned from this forum is provide VALUE and the money will follow. This conference will undoubtedly provide the value that is well worth the incurred cost. Don't be dumb. Invest in your future.
^ this.
Every year.
There are a few people like you there every year. Every single one of them walks away with a changed life.

Also, every year there are people that post that are all "I'm so down..." and then time rolls around, and they fade to gray.
Time will tell if you are one of them.
