BOO!

It's been way, way too long since I last blogged and there is a budding mutiny over that.

One friend says she has officially "broken up" with my blog; another says so eloquently, "What the *#$@@? ... update your blog!"

Glad I'm so popular!

Being popular would be hard to prove.

Being too crazy busy to blog?

Easy to prove.

Understand that I got into this business to run this business from the ground up, targeting up and coming companies to show them how the big companies do it, how they go from nothing to become a well-known, well-respected brand.

Two days in, I got a call from a big company, a well-known, well-respected brand.

In fact, one of America's greatest brands.

And when you get a call like that, you drop everything.

Business plan goes out the window, by choice.

Imagine getting ready to go on a diet and planning your meals, your workouts, your cardio, etc.

Then an old friend calls you up to see if you want to go on an all-expense paid cruise.

Are you kidding?

You go.

You can get on the treadmill when you get back.

You can eat right when the fun ends.

That's the analogy I have for the call I received from Friday's.

It's just an opportunity that you want to take, that you have to take, and that's what I did.

It's also an opportunity that's left me with very little time to do anything else, and that's not a complaint.

It's a choice.

So, my blog, which was intended to be a build-a-business diary has admittedly become less of a priority.

I certainly can't use it to disclose what I've done or what I'm doing for Friday's.

It's not meant as vehicle to divulge strategy.

That's OK, because I'm having the time of my life.

There was a scene in one of my favorite movies, Broadcast News, where John Hurt (?) leans over to Albert Brooks (?) and asks, something to the effect of "What do you do when your life is better than your dreams?"

The response: "You keep it to yourself."

That's not entirely my M.O. but I am having the time of my life working with Friday's and the nature of my relationship is that I keep it to myself.

When the cruise ends, and I hope it never does, I'll dust off that business plan, pick up a Business Journal or two and turn a pile of sand or two into a building.

I can assist companies.

I am hands on.

And the day will come when I'll take everything I've learned and apply it to companies who will be amazed at the ROI you can get with DFPR.

But not today.

Because today is Friday's.

And for the past 3 months, every day has been Friday's.

And the ship is still at sea.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Don't be scared.

I'll be back ...
