I took the family out tonight for a fun evening. I asked the kids where they wanted to go and before I could even give them their choices they yelled out Barnes and Noble! I was glad that was their choice because that is exactly where I wanted to go.

We got the jackets on and headed out. It was so windy and cold that I wanted to turn around and go right back in to the house. When we got to the book store I got a call from my good friend and web designer, Lenny. My wife Rochelle and the kids jumped out of the truck and ran in to the book store like maniacs. Lenny updated me on the new web changes and then I headed in to the book store.

I started at the magazines and worked my way to the back of the store where I knew everyone would be sitting. Now I had about ten magazines and seven to ten books. I was feeling really good because some tittles I could find previously I now had in hand,

When I got to the back of the store where the kids section and most of the chairs are I saw my wife and each one of my kids with stacks of books in front of them actively reading. That site brought a nice smile to my face and then the thought came, “How much is all this going to cost?” But we all sat and shared excerpts from each of the books we were interested in and put the books we weren’t back to the middle of the table.

Once we got to the checkout counter the total came to $324.96, wow came out of my mouth. My six year old Khayri look at me and said daddy would you like to put one of my books back? No son I said, but what I felt inside was that all had some great books to fill our minds with.

We hit the book store a couple of times a month like this. I read extensively to try to bring as much value to the businesses and customers that I service. I spend my money and time each day reading and researching so my clients wont have to and I can make the process of you attaining success that much easier. I want to stay on top of all the latest information and trends so we stay up to date.

If you aren’t plugged into someone who will bring you the latest information and you are not spending the money or the time to buy the material then you are doing yourself a big disservice.

Let me know your thoughts and lets get you on the right track before 2008 is over.
