How Doug Found the Military Seminar

I asked Doug the thing I ALWAYS want to know - when I hear about a new client, new opportunity or something innovative - "How did you find this seminar?"

True to form for Doug, he had his radar up and operating. I have learned over the years that entrepreneurs tend to make their own luck. I have heard the often repeated lament (from those who never seem to find the gold while mining), “Jack or Ellen is just lucky!”

Hogwash.

The Jacks and Ellens are engaged and have a “can do” attitude. They always ask the next question, they go to ONE more networking event, they follow up with excited clients, and ask who these clients know that they could be introduced to, and they never, Never, NEVER get discouraged over the long term. True, everyone has a day or two when things get the best of them, but the Jacks and Ellens always get their focus readjusted on the half full glass, and then move forward. Discouragement is yesterday’s news.

For Doug, it was being on the Chamber Website and just checking things out, that made this luck happen for him.

A lot of time is spent at Chamber functions, yet how often do you log onto their website for activities and events that come up at the last minute, or are simply posted there? When Doug logged on to his Chamber website, he noticed that there was a seminar announcement and a registration link. Click, click, click and he was off to see "Uncle Sam"- oriented contractors.

Doug will report on his findings next week.

Stay tuned.
