Why Do I Ask Questions?
| |
Lately I've been asking a bunch of questions. Perhaps, I'm getting more curious in my old age, or maybe it's because I just wonder about stuff.
In this issue, I ask the question, Why? Why get involved? What's the point?
In some ways, questions get you thinking and thinking is good. Isn't it? I've always pondered why things are they way they are. Since I tend to think a bit outside of the box, and look for fresh ways to have an impact in my life and business, asking questions makes sense. Doesn't it?
Why get involved? Being engaged in our industry leads to relationships
and relationships lead to a foundation for a quality business. In the article...Why? I talk about the benefits of being involved. Enjoy.

Why...?
|
Why...be connected? I've often talked about my love of tradeshows and the value of business relationships, which are the cornerstone of a successful business.
I've just returned from the Promotional Marketing Association of Northern California (PMANC) Spring Event. Held in Monterey California. My time spent there defines why I love the Regional Associations and the value of the industry connections we nurture by being involved.
Through the years, I've been privileged to meet many amazing people who have helped me along the way. Rod Brown, from MadeToOrder is one of the industry good guys who has had a strong influence in my life. He's a brilliant man who serves on the PPAI Board of Directors, takes two months off in the summer to be with his family and builds houses for the needy in Mexico.
