Each fall 100 matchmakers from all over the globe meet in New York to discuss best practices and industry trends. I have developed a valuable network of industry professionals I now turn to when I need to brainstorm or listen to a new idea. I always come home energized with a zillion new ideas that I want to implement to improve the business.

It never ceases to amaze me how much things can change in 12 months....and we better adapt or we'll be forgotten! Eight at Eight operates as a small-business and we must stay abreast of the trends to stay relevant. I am a loyal subscriber to Entreprenur Magazine, Fortune Small Business, and have joined local Entrepreneur groups to network.

Frankly - I do give a Damn!

Ok so I've fallen into the trap. I was ambitious about starting this blog and keeping our community in touch with what is going on with Eight at Eight. Each week is different and there are always fun developments and observatons to share.

Like all busy business women.....I've fallen off the wagon. But as God as my witness I vow to never quit blogging again. I'm regrouping at the beach this week. World headquarters for Eight at Eight will be working from 9-6 from the hotel balcony, listening to the ocean and catching some rays. Phones are forwarded and wireless works! Cocktails start promptly at 6:01 so if you're in the area please give us a shout. (St. Simons, GA)
