Support your friends/associates

Attended Emilie McKendall's launch of her television show, "Emilie and Friends." It is a TV version of her popular radio show. First guest was Tom Burrell, author of the insightful book Brainwashed. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon that was both educational and informative. It was great to see new friends and to hear the provocative interchange.

Emilie McKendall is one of my favorite folks from forever. I had a lot to do Saturday but was there for my friend.

Great week in Birmingham - BE PREPARED

Always be prepared! Went to Birmingham to ASSIST with a workshop and the person who was supposed to do it was unprepared.

I had to step in and talk for 90 minutes -- OFF THE CUFF!

Everyone enjoyed it but I was sweating bullets. But I know my stuff and pulled it off.

Moral to that story: BE PREPARED -- you never know when you'll have to step up.

Networking

Attending a networking function at a local club tonight and going to the Publicity Club of Chicago luncheon on Wednesday. Remember to incorporate networking into your business MO. And, occasionally review the organizations you support. Determine if there's a Return on Investment.
If not, drop it and channel your money to something else.

Review events, organizations and folks you support every six months and make those determinations.
