Happy June, everyone!
(This is a half-professional-half-personal post.)
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, small business owner, head of a team, or whatever label you want to use, it is tough to unplug and disconnect.
Over Memorial Day weekend, my wife, kids, and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in Jamaica and spent six days there.
It was wonderful to decompress, unplug, and stop and smell the air and roses.
Along those same lines, Anne Lamott noted that “almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.”
I agree! My company, Connect 5000, survived just fine without me, and I was able to create some lasting memories.
There’s always work to return to, but my family ranks first!
Cheers and blessings!

/in General /by Ray RueckerPodcast Interview with EAG Group and Jeff Randolph
/in General /by Ray RueckerHappy Saturday everyone!
I recently was interviewed on EAG’s podcast here in Kansas City.
EAG’s website is https://eagadv.com/ and their specialty is marketing and advertising to small business firms.
They can help with strategic services, creative creation, website development, content creation, and digital and traditional marketing services, among other things.
I’ve known their CEO, Michele Markham, and staff members, Brenda Heffron and Jeff Randolph for quite some time.
Here’s the link to the podcast and less than 20 minutes long! Enjoy!
Happy Veteran’s Day!

/in General /by Ray RueckerHappy Birthday, USA!
/in General /by Ray RueckerPatti Mbachu: Senior BDR Extraordinaire since 2010!
/in General /by Ray RueckerHappy Sunday!
I met Patti initially sometime in 2010 and I interviewed her in person at Panera Bread.
She was my FIRST employee back then and has been with me for the most part since.
There are a couple of breaks here and there but she’s been with Connect 5000 most of the time.
Patti used to live in the Kansas City metro but moved to Omaha to be near her kids and grandkids.
I drove up to Omaha last week to celebrate Patti, her upcoming birthday, and her wonderful 14 years with us.
Cheers Patti!
