Hello everyone. Happy rainy, Daylight Savings Time Sunday!!! Star Promoz had a successful GRAND OPENING, Madison Steak House was packed, BIG TIME week of networking coming up ... Lyn's Gift Shop, Teresa, Evantz & Dean, The Hispanic Network, 2 Panera's and LOTS more!!! Hope to see you @ Savannah's, gotta love The Sexy Salad,LOTS of events, LOTS of info, LOTS of good things happening, LOTS of opportunities to IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!!! Let's get to it ...
YOU ready? Let's Get It On!!! ...
Networking events, email blasts, high search rankings, quality info, 516Ads.com & 631Ads.com would rate high in all categories. BUT, when it comes to the success of your business, all these tools pale in comparison to your hard work and determination. We tell you this because when we say that the importance of Google, Facebook & Twitter for most businesses is exaggerated, it's nothing personal. Getting to the top of Google (brilliant) does not make your phones ring off the hook. Facebook (we love it) is far more about friends and fun than it is about business. In some cases it can do harm than good. Business success is seldom easy. It's easier to Tweet than it is to make a cold-call. It's easier to post on Facebook than it is to go out and canvass perspective clients. Too many people hide behind the web. You need to mix things up. A combination of on-line tools, people to people warmth and of course, your relentless efforts!!! You have to get out there and make things happen!!! Go to sleep, wake up, do it again!!! You ready? Let's Get It On!!!

" Last night's event was awesome!!! Made 6 new contacts." Thank You - Jo
“I was impressed by the quality of the people I spoke with, the ease in making connections and the affability of the crowd. I also believe that it was organized professionally and I will be back. ” - Mark
" Great job last night. Excellent energy in the room. Madison's is the most gracious of hosts. Collecting supplies for local vets-it doesn't get much better then that. Our local elected officials and those in Washington should attend a 516ADS & 631ADS event to see how local business people get things done." - Steve

Great Stuff/ The Pinewood Derby ...
Some things are far more important than networking! So when Mike Diaz told us he wasn't going to be able to make the Madison Steak House event because it was the Pinewood Derby weigh-in, we totally understood. The pinewood derby is a racing event for Cub Scouts. With the help of parents, scouts build their own cars from wood, plastic wheels and metal axles. Let's just say the competition is serious!!! Mike and his boys put together an amazing 'Bobsled Mobile', far more impressive than the block of wood w/ wheels that we used to enter Our bet is this Mike Diaz & son’s entry is bringing home some awards! We'll keep you posted!
