A quick back story on why I am doing this now, I own three small businesses (and co-own a 4th with my wife) in our local area; they are very different from one another which has led me to much research and in the trenches experience in regards to: organization, marketing (from phonebooks to mailers to social media), in person networking, research, and general life management. It is my belief that this blog (along with other bloggers; and things like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook) is an amazing way to be instant in how we learn and how we teach.<\/p>\n<p>The thrill of the journey, the art of networking, the excitement of the chase&#8230;keep me motivated and constantly pushing forward. EVERYDAY is THE day, to make IT happen; whatever your IT is. It is our own destiny to control, but with the advent of blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and so on; we are able to surround ourselves with the support of 100&#8217;s, 1000&#8217;s, and 100,000&#8217;s of people going through the same thing we are, or that reached the place we want to be. How fantastic is that? Okay, I just got re-energized, so I&#8217;m going to go do something productive right now and I suggest you do the same. We&#8217;ll meet back here another time and get some awesome, thought provoking conversation started; until then go grab your day and HANDLE IT!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;there was my first blog post;
