That’s a lot of networking

This is a very special week for Milestone Marketing Associates. On Friday, October 1^st we will celebrate our one year anniversary. Looking back, I am amazed by a couple of small but important details – like the fact that I’ve been writing this weekly update for 59 weeks (the first one was on August 17, 2009). Another interesting number is my list of contacts which grew over the last twelve months from about 200 to 1,000 people.

That’s a lot of networking. I would like to thank everyone for their interest in Milestone, and especially all the loyal followers of this blog. Each week I only receive a couple of email or comments about the blog, but just about every week I run into someone who says, “I love your blog and look forward to reading it every Monday.” I can’t tell you how gratifying that is to hear.

On tap this week is a special project. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been involved with a Sarasota Chamber task force on Amendment 4. While I’d rather note use this forum for politics, I am excited to share that we’re working on a series of testimonials videos featuring local politicians and community leaders expressing their stance on this important issue.

I also have a number of interesting events on the calendar this week including today’s Business Ethics Alliance luncheon at the Hyatt, the Manatee Chamber’s T.I.P.S. – Tech In Plain Speak session on Wednesday morning, a networking event with AdFed and the FPRA on Thursday evening, and of course, the Sarasota Chamber golf tournament on Friday afternoon.

Until next week,

Matthew Anderson, President
