Firstly may I apologize for not posting yesterday? I did post on Saturday a short horror story, The Keys, which I hoped would be enjoyed by all. So the reason I was absent yesterday? I attended a local business symposium, which was informative, enlightening and a great networking opportunity. Hosted in conjunction with Small Business Week, the symposium covered digital marketing, succession planning and recruitment. Here is the agenda if you are interested. 2015_small_business_symposium_agenda The panelists were informed, erudite and forthcoming with their own experiences, which gave the audience a real connection. Questions were answered with honest problem solving remarks. Although I have started a business plan several times, it has never been completed. After this event I vow to complete my plan. It is a vital element in succeeding. I have three freelance leads from yesterday, so a great day all round. Do you attend local business events? What was your experience?
