Audiences across the nation have been enraptured and enlightened by Grimes and his "Octopus Formula" a model for creating multiple lines of income and a personal brand. The octopus is an animal without a blind spot and Grimes' six point formula -- plan, strategize, move, hunt, adapt and survive -- teaches others to operate at the same level.

The event begins at 8:30 a.m. with a Breakfast and Strategic Partner Fair and concludes at 1:00 p.m. The event is open to the public.

Grimes teaches professionals in the real estate, insurance and financial industries how to diversify their business and create a personal brand. Grimes' passionate teaching is peppered with his famous "Butchisms", which entertain and inform his audiences. "We diversify our investments to minimize risk. We can apply that same line of thinking to our business strategy," comments Grimes. Grimes' formula helps professionals move to the next level by combining innovative marketing strategies with technology such as podcasting, VODcasting, vidcasting, vidblogging and more.

In just a few short years, Grimes has used his business and marketing savvy to go from real estate professional to "recognized brand." He got his entrepreneurial start by purchasing, improving and selling distressed properties and has since established six independent companies, a weekly radio real estate show and a cartoon alter ego, Mr. Real Estate Nerd™ that dispenses real estate advice via live chat sessions.
