Well - something that I have learned about "blogging" is that they don't write themselves. I was reminded of this by my associate, Susan Young of Aim Fire marketing, who is doing a terrific job for Winning Communities.
After her gentle nudge, I am back again after a few weeks off.
As I mentioned before in May and June, I was fortunate to have been the featured speaker at the Community Bankers Associstion of Illinois Group meetings. I spoke to over 450 bankers and board members of community banks. They are great people who keep things moving in many of our smaller communities. I look forward to working with many in developing Vision/Action Plans for their cities and towns.
I spoke to them of the importance of ACTION!
As I look at things and how they work in communities, we should always keep in mind 1440!! Those numbers represent the number of minutes in a day. Since we use on average over 400 unconscious as we sleep, it leaves us with about 1,000 to be active. And those minutes are finite. So - see what you can do for your community. There is always some way to make an improvement. Let me know what are your issues and what needs to be addressed.
Thanks and I will not be so tardy again.
