Well it has been a couple of days since I blogged - I am attempting to improve (especially now that people I know have been made aware of this blog). I have been on the road for the last couple of days doing a GroupThink (I read this term somewhere and think it is great). I got together with two guys I respect a LOT - Steve Riat from Next-tech in Hays (his blog is listed to the side) and Mike Fafinski from Syand Corp in the Minneapolis area. We got together to really do a deep dive on a white board on cloud services (some people refer to these as hosted, but cloud sounds so much more impressive) and how to offer those to our clients. I am amazed and in awe of how Mike and Steve work in with numbers. They are incredible and I hope that maybe some of their smarts wore off on me. We had a great and very productive 24 hours.
I know that if I want to increase my success I need to associate with successful people, and can truely say I did that in depth this week.

Thanks for the compliment. Back at you. As for the Groupthink thing, I am concerned:
Groupthink is a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas. During groupthink, members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside the comfort zone of consensus thinking. A variety of motives for this may exist such as a desire to avoid being seen as foolish, or a desire to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group. Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty, irrational decisions, where individual doubts are set aside, for fear of upsetting the group’s balance. The term is frequently used pejoratively, with hindsight.
I hope we did not do this?
