After one solid month and over 9300 train miles, I am back in my office. It was a great tour and I really appreciate everyone who worked so hard to make the events successful. I particularly want to thank everyone who organized the presentations, who came to them, who gave me feedback and asked questions, and those who signed up for individual meetings. I was honored by the work and enthusiasm of everyone.
Finally, I would like to thank all the companies who contributed as sponsors–especially Livebooks, Adbase, Workbook, and Paper Chase Printing. Without their financial support it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for groups like ASMP and APA to bring you speakers who can help your businesses both from the “practical” and the creative sides. Please consider using these companies and remember to tell them that you appreciate their continued sponsorship of your local chapters.
Now back in my office, and after having sorted through the pile of mail on my desk, I’m back at my regular work: for those of you on the Free Manuals in Your Email list, you know you got a new one yesterday evening (if you’re not on the list, why not? We never trade or sell our list); a new Creative Lube podcast will be posted before the end of the month (the next in the series on pricing); and I am hard at work preparing my part of the ASMP Strictly Business 2 events scheduled for next year (pdf link)…not to mention working with clients from all over the US/Canada (and abroad). There may even be yet another trip this year…later this year…and I’m already hard at trying to see if I can make that happen.
Stay tuned, as they say.
