Annual Activity

This is another comment on the subject of "How Much Work"
How many times have you heard about an event you wanted to attend or participate in as an exhibitor, but found you had missed the deadline, or it is too short notice?
Plan Ahead! 
Annually, look at "Hallmark Dates", Community events, Business events, and your networking groups, and schedule them  in.  Decide what you want to do with them, and time line them and schedule the timeline.
You can assess the big picture for maximum effect, you will experience fewer missed deadlines and avoid the last minute scramble and better assess your effctiveness.
This gives you the opportunity to schedule more appropriate activities and increase your bottom line.
