Launch It! Business Competition
Over the last two Fridays, I was invited to watch SUNY Oswego’s first student business competition. Launch It! was a program started by two students, Jordan Shutts and Eli VanOrman, both members of the SUNY Oswego Enactus group. [Enactus is an international business organization that promotes education and presentation competition. Visit the main website here. I highly recommend it to any college students.]
Agile’ was honored to be asked to participate! So, we decided to award a year’s worth of web hosting to each of the top three teams. I’ll be posting pictures of the winners, plus some information about their business proposals and the team members as I get the information from them. I was very impressed by many of the teams, including some that didn’t win any awards.
Which brings me to the point I told them directly, and which applies to all my clients and folks who read my books: Just because someone else doesn’t single you out for recognition, doesn’t mean you’re not worthy. Keep going! Don’t quit just because nobody stopped to pat you on the back, or because you weren’t awarded money. Keep working at your business for you, and for all those who will benefit from your efforts.

Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Stephen R Covey
A Year’s Worth Of Social Media Posts
Over the weekend, I started putting together a list of posts for my new intern to put together. I’m having her re-post all my current social media graphics here to my blog, and on Twitter.

- Windscreen
- Neewer mic stand
