Helping People Help Themselves

Wow it's been a week since my last entry. Living sure gets in the way of making entries. I managed to play about 27 holes of golf last week, and hope to go out tomorrow with Russ and some other guys at Aubry's. I've not played there, but I've read about it.

We did sing the National Anthem for the Pirate game on Sunday. That was an awesome experience. We did well. It seems the crowd held of cheering until we sang the very last note and chord before they cheered. (It seems they often start to yell and cheer before groups finish the song - but not on Sunday.) Several people said "That's the way the National Anthem should be sung." Cool.

We're getting ready to host an open house for our new business venture at the Sheraton Four Points on Thursday night. (Several of us are part of a team.) It's going to be quite an event as we give away a dozen or so "free cruises" to the people who come and like what they see and hear.

Today I went to the Cranberry Networking event sponsored by the Chamber and lined up two more people to attend. It's a win/win event as people learn about the great trips at wholesale prices and also about the great business opportunities for people to do on a part-time basis. They can create a supplemental source of income with a little effort on their own time schedule. And there are lots of training materials to help a person get started. We're loving it. check out www.aiello.worldventures.biz if you want to see and hear more.

I've been reading two new books: Never Eat Alone is one on relationships; Thank God It's Monday! is about having fun in the workplace and how to create a culture of fun where you work. So much fun, in fact, that people look forward to going to work on Monday! HA! Good stuff.
