Happy December!
“The days are long but the years are short.” – Unknown How true! 11 months down, 1 remaining in 2022. Yikes! I was in the Atlanta metro this past June visiting team members. I hadn’t met some of the newer members plus I needed to do some in-person training, so I flew out Thursday and […]
Friday Lunch and Yak Session
Happy Saturday everyone! Every now and then, Connect 5000 gathers together via Zoom over lunch and gets to know each other better without talking about work stuff. Because everyone is remote and isolation can occur, it’s beneficial to huddle up and get to know colleagues better, so we did Friday afternoon. It helps build relationships […]
The Traveling Roadtrip Continues
Happy Sunday everyone! And the flights and travel continue! As I mentioned in previous blog posts, I visited Seattle and Portland over Memorial Day weekend with my family. 2 days later I flew with a colleague to Atlanta to visit the Southern Region Team and meet reps who I hadn’t met in person yet. 2 […]
The Southern Region Team of Connect 5000
Happy Saturday everyone! As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently did a family vacation to Seattle and Portland and flew back. 2 days later, Tiffany Miller, my Director of Operations, and I flew to Atlanta to see some Southern Region team members we’d never met in person. We had planned to back in […]
Post Election Results
So to get straight to the point: I lost the election handily. I lost approximately 70% to 30%. It was a fair race and as far as I know, my opponent kept it clean and professional and he ran a good race. In fact, my neighbor brought me 3 pieces of direct mail she received […]
What does running for city council have to do with sales?
Happy belated fall everyone! It’s been a few months since I last blogged so here goes. I live in the Kansas City metro. I specifically live in Mission, Kansas. Kansas City is a collection of several cities on both sides of Kansas and Missouri. The Missouri border from my home is just a few miles […]
Happy Late Summer and Greetings from Omaha, Nebraska!
Happy late July everyone! Last year’s summer was slow and each day dragged out. This summer? Not so much! My kids start school on August 12, less than 3 weeks away! Everyone seems to be literally on vacation, not for a week or 2, but for the whole month! I see the auto-responders from marketing […]
Vacationing and Unplugging As Entreprenuers
Happy Sunday everyone! Over Memorial Day weekend, my family and I flew to Sanibel Island in Florida and enjoyed our first family vacation in over a year and a half. We were gone from the Saturday before the holiday to the following Thursday. Other than keeping an eye on email and Slack and handling invoices […]
Continual Training and Professional Development
Happy Friday everyone! A few weeks ago, my firm finally joined the correct century and moved from IMAP email to Google Workspace. Christy Rogers of Training Umbrella did some remote training with my team and was excellent! Continual education and professional learning are musts in this current remote age of working. I highly recommend her […]
