Be a good driver!

Yesterday I presented a workshop in Barrie Ontario on networking. Driving there and back (and getting lost in the middle) I was on the road for 8 hours. Not a lot of excitement along the way, but one road sign did stick out and made me think about our book. I didn't have my camera and even in today's world of technology I can't seem to track down an image of it to share, but it said "Be a good driver, check your truck daily."

That fits so perfectly with the analogy we use in the book. "Be a good business owner, check your business (inside and out) daily." When was the last time you did a circle check or looked down at your dashboard?

The Birdhouse Challenge in Jasper Indiana

Matt and I presented a full day of workshops in July in Jasper Indiana. Over 50 people were at the conference. One of the sessions was the Birdhouse Challenge where teams are paired off to live the life of an entrepreneur from start to finish, concluding with promoting their product. In the 70 or so times we have done this session, we have never had a team actually make a commercial...until now. So here it is.

YeeHaw! We're in Calgary

Stop number 3 on the world tour! We arrived Tuesday in Calgary to a balmy 5 degrees and light flurries - much different then the 25 degrees and smog advisory in Kingston.

Tomorrow we're doing the Day in the Life of an Entrepreneur training session at the JCI Canada National Convention. There are over 125 dynamic young leaders registered from across Canada. Wonder what they'll think when they see the costumes they have to wear - not your typical conference training session!

Check back in a few days for some pics and stories about our trip.
