…and the best part is you won’t have to go buy a ticket at the movie theater for this because on August 14th, our annual convention will be taking place in Pleasanton, California and it’s absolutely FREE! This will be an event nobody will want to miss!
Two times per month (sometimes three) we schedule and conduct our staff meetings; each department makes their presentation on current projects and updates everyone on where we are and where we’re going. Sometimes the meeting is not too much different than what we all talk about in weekly emails, but it is still good to get to the table and get some belly-to-belly time in.
Since last 4th of July to now, there certainly have been a tremendous amount of changes, sacrifices and new challenges in this country, in our businesses and our personal lives. And, there are certainly going to be many more before things turn around. However, on this 4th of July, we must remember to put all of our own personal issues aside and celebrate the accomplishments of all Americans throughout history, and even now, who have helped create this great country. We need to remind ourselves of the 56 men who signed the “Declaration of Independence” and gave us this incredible freedom we have today. We must commemorate all servicemen and servicewomen who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and continue to so we can sleep at night without fear; so that we can continue to be entrepreneurial and prosper; and more importantly, enjoy the freedoms in making our own decisions in life. Remember this as you celebrate Independence Day with family and friends!
