Community

I am thankful that we have people in our community who give so much of their time and money to help causes greater than their immediate needs. From the outside, it might look like being on a board of directors for a local nonprofit might be some kind of privilege. But it's actually just a place to be asked to do more work, give more money and carry the emotional burdens that come from working on hard issues. If you've ever thought "How did THEY get APPOINTED to that board or get that position?" the answer is almost always that they offered to help. Find another cause to add to your list and do more. You might be surprised what else you can do and that it's more rewarding than improving your golf game or redecorating your house.

Promoting business is getting personal

With all of the new online marketing strategies focusing on "social networking" it has blurred the line between business and personal information. I'm not sure this is a great thing for business, when people's sticky lives can get caught up in the business. It can also be difficult for personal relationships, if I send out a business advertisement to all of my online friends they might resent it.

I hope that people understand that it is money, ad revenue, etc that give us access to free services like Facebook, Ning, and Blogger.

With that said, PLEASE COME TO FRONTIER TEXAS! AND SPEND SOME MONEY, TODAY. You'll feel good about.
