If you worked for a corporation, this weekend might be a two-fer…half a day off, at least, for New Year’s Eve Eve, and then a whole day on Monday, “cause you had to ‘waste’ your holiday on a Sunday.  So you might be kicked back, getting ready to party, nurse your hangover and watch some football.

But I’m at my desk at 5:04pm on December 30, wondering how 2011 got by so fast!  I could have worked frantically to get in one more sales call, make one more appointment for next week, enroll one more person in the Bermuda strategic planning workshop for the coming year.

Instead, I cruised Linked-In. I found people I had forgotten about, went through my message and invite list (sorely neglected for months), found a whole tribe of people through one connection!!, and invited about 30 people to connect.

Several of them were on Linked-in too (great minds run the same channel?), and responded right away.  I made at least three new connections via real email and discussion, and I’m looking forward to building those relationships early in 2012.  One is a great potential prospect, one could be a great connector, and a couple are people who had reached out to me.

As it turns out, I’m pretty happy with my 2012 business development so far–I got it started in 2011!

And I am going to party, skip the hangover, and snooze through some football, with 2012 already kicked off.  Happy New Year!

This is a good time of year to tend to the little details that have eluded me for a long time. I run a list, often in my head, of little things that I need to get around to.  I’ve spent some time this evening, with the help of my trusty IT team, working with this blog, which has long lain dormant. Now I know how to get into it, how to add members to this part of the Team Nimbus NJ site, and am exploring the nooks and crannies of WordPress.

What small or medium sized project would you like to tackle and finish in 2011?  Time is short…

I plan to post  upcoming events, members comments, video and audio links from Team Nimbus and from clients, the newsletter archives, and other cool stuff still to be figured out.  As members, you will be able to post your own comments, information, links, and whatever we can figure out that will help the community grow and build our businesses.

I welcome your questions and suggestions.

Glad you’re here. I’m looking forward to working with this membership site so it helps all of us stay connected.
