Testimonials

"Larry Williams' seminar is helping DJs understand the way the public sees them.  By comparing what we do to other emcees and entertainers, he is opening our eyes to the areas where we need to make a stronger effort to improve what we do.  You may find yourself challenged . . . you'll certainly find yourself inspired . . . but, you will also have a clear understanding of where you'll need to begin working to change the public's perception!"

"If you are looking for ways to challenge yourself and improve your DJ business, Larry's book will give you the kick-start you need. Packed with information, even the most seasoned veterans will find valuable advice and new ways to approach their DJ business.  Two words come immediately to mind when I think of Larry Williams: 'Energy' and 'Passion'. Larry is constantly striving for "betterment" - both for himself as a DJ, businessman, writer, presenter, author and for the industry that he is proud to be a part of."

"After reviewing my notes from Mobile Beat Las Vegas 2008, it was obvious Larry’s seminar offered some of the week’s best nuggets.  When he said, “The customer is not always right, but the customers opinion always matters” and proceeded to show video clips featuring interviews with brides-to-be and current pop culture perception examples to support his thoughts, I knew the other attendees and I were in for a worthwhile session.  

 

In addition to being a well prepared and effective communicator, Larry delivered his thoughts without discounting other points of view and kept a positive tone throughout the presentation.  'Changing Public Perception' was an educational and entertaining experience that will help me empathize with my current clients and future prospects; as you know, this is a key element to many successful enterprises."

"For Mobile Beat Las Vegas 2008, Larry's presentation on Changing Public Perception was amazing and an absolute highlight for me!  Larry is a gifted communicator and I was able to identify with his message on every level.  Giving the clearest examples of just how the public perceives most 'wedding DJs', he gives you every reason NOT to fall into this embarrassing stereotype.  Larry delivers a passionate message that will encourage and challenge, while instantly moving you to take action!"

Curtis Hoekstra - Advisory Board of Directors, W.E.D.Guild™

"Larry has taken it upon himself to tackle the very tough issues of DJ 'etiquette' and 'demeanor' and its effects upon 'public perception'.  He is poised to follow in the footsteps of the highest caliber industry leaders who have come before him to affect change.  An incredibly noble undertaking by an individual who is 'passionate' about this industry!"

DJ Dr. Drax - National President & Executive Director of the ADJA

 

"Larry's seminar presented the ways the DJ industry has suffered from less than professional standards and conduct.  As more DJs adopt higher standards, the perception of our industry will be raised to that of a positive professional career choice!"

 

Brian Graham - ADJA National Director

 

"So…you think the stereotypical tainted image of the Mobile Disc Jockey Industry is everyone else’s fault? Of course it is. Even if you’re doing many things professionally, you can still accelerate your learning curve and hear some refreshing reminders and eye opening revelations in Mr. Williams’ Changing Public Perception seminar that he presented in Las Vegas.

It wasn’t just another DJ giving tidbits of 'meat' to his peers…it was real feedback from the general public. You can argue with another DJ if they are trying to teach you something, but if you ignore what your clients (and potential clients) think about Mobile DJs, that’s not very smart.

Looking over my seminar notes, I now realize that Larry is not just another DJ. He’s someone who wants the best for our industry; therefore, he wants the best for you, too. He didn’t pull any punches during his stellar presentation that included video clips, comparisons, and great tips! These were all wrapped up with an inspirational conclusion and call to action. Of course, he wasn’t talking about you. Or was he?"

"Larry Williams' seminar on Changing Public Perception breathes a much needed life into a subject that has for many, frankly, lost all meaning.  Larry's content is so powerful that it speaks for itself. His fresh approach, hard work and passion for this topic are clearly presented with visuals (pictures, text and even video). He's really outdone himself this time!

My life and business perspective is forever changed after experiencing this seminar. Larry's presentation at Mobile Beat Las Vegas in 2008 left me energized and motivated to make changes in my own business......and without a doubt, is a swift kick in the butt that our industry needs to hear!

This presentation really is a MUST SEE for anyone serious about this industry, their business and their own persona. A first rate example of what should be PRIORITY ONE for every DJ that considers themselves a professional!"

"I found Larry Williams' book , 'Mind Your Own Business', to be extremely educational and enlightening which opened my eyes to many new avenues for my business to reach new heights that I would have never imagined if it were not for his expertise and tremendous research.  

To anyone who is just starting out or even if you have been in business for many years as I have, this book is a valuable resource and can greatly improve your business.  'Mind Your Own Business' is, without question, an outstanding book!"

"Larry, thanks again for a well prepared, informational presentation.  While talking to several people around the room, the comment I heard most was "this is what we need".  Many first time members were impressed at the level of professionalism shown not only by you, but by our chapter as a whole.  I believe your presentation allowed us to reach DJs that would have never considered attending otherwise.  Thank you!"
