Even though most non-profits do not promote doing business with each other, it is certainly an off-shoot of membership. When I change cities, I often go to another Rotary Club to do a make-up meeting. It is here that I can find out more about the city and often someone knows people at the firm I will be visiting. I am always happy to get more information.If someone in my
Since 1988, when I Joined the National Speakers Association, I have regularly presented at association conventions, conferences and meetings. In that time I have met some stellar association executives and staff. And, I have had to work with a few that were less than optimal.

The birth of the Zippo Lighter effectively summarizes just how hard business success is to obtain and George G. Blaisdell, the founder of Zippo can only be sumarized as a business inspiration for all entrepreneurs!George G. Blaisdell’s adolescent years can best be described as alternative and strong-willed. Mr. Blaisdell absolutely hated school and decided in his 5th year of elementary school that he would no longer attend. George’s father however tried to force him in the right path by sending him to the military academy but unfortunately lost the battle just tw
