What Does 2008 Bring? Helping Hands.

As we are rushing around with our Christmas lists and shopping tasks, we feel the end of the year approaching and are beginning to look toward 2008. Perhaps you have a baby on the way, or a grandbaby. Perhaps you are moving or building a home. Perhaps you are simply going to anticipate the Democratic slaughter of the Republican party during the Presidential election.

One thing is for certain - 2008 is approaching and will be here before you can blink.

I'm taking a break this posting from design and want to help out some of my colleagues this year with their businesses. I am a member of three leads groups. If you don't know what a "leads group" is, learn it quickly. A leads group is a group of professionals from different industries who come together and get to know one another on a personal and professional level. It is the best form of "warm lead" generation you will ever know. We each discuss what we need and who we need to meet to help our businesses grow and then help one another to make those connections. The group provides a bank of professionals that we refer our own clients to helping them to secure competent professional services for any need they may have.

These members have helped numerous people with their financial planning and website development issues. I've used them personally and they are great!

During 2008, we are launching a few new things ourselves.

We will be launching a new site for www.MyOnlineDesigner.com which will have lots of new designer items for the home, as well as an online consultation section for those in need of a single project consultation. Our current site just never really had a helpful interface which meant we just didn't spend the time we needed to developing it very well this year. Resolution accomplished!
