Envisioning the Show!
























At this time of show prep, it is hard to envision how beautiful the show will be. It seems we make a big mess before it all comes together. See you there!

It is the courage to continue that counts!

"It is the courage to continue that counts!" - Winston Churchill

I recently heard that saying and realized very quickly it sums up the spirit of EXPO and the Green Industry. I believe that in stressful times people tend to rally. They like to rally together. It is at EXPO that the Green Industry in the South Central United States comes together. That is a good thing.

The show is coming together nicely. We saw the t-shirt sample yesterday. It is very nice and clean. The color is a light tan. The floor plan for 2010 booth sales has been finalized. Booth Sales will hopefully be active. We also have the artwork for the 2010 show that will be unveiled. It is gorgeous. Th etheme for next year was taken from the 4 pillars that San Antonio has adopted for tehir city - People, Pride, Passion, Promise. That is our show, as well!

Lots of things happening at the show this year. It is a place where courage rallies through the gathering of people. See you there.

PROCRASTINATION

Some people admit they are procrastinators. Others want to deny it. Some people don't have this problem, but find those who do procrastinate a huge source of frustration. I am probably one that falls in between. There are certainly things that I do quickly and without delay. There are other things that you have to drag me to the rodeo kicking to just get my attention.

Websters Dictionary definition of procrastinate is "to put off intentionally and habitually." Wow, that sounds menacing. Although many put off till tomorrow what we know should be done today, we don't.

People all over the country are making money off of the fact we procrastinate. Nike's motto - Just Do It! They'd have to change it if we had already done it. There are speakers I have received information on as well as one I have heard on procrastination. I have to admit I even bought her book. This lady holds webinars, consults, speaks on, writes book about and gets interviewed about procrastination. Good golly - a woman with a cause that makes money.

Well, there is one thing I hope you are not going to procrastinate about and that is registering for the Nursery/Landscape EXPO. You knew that was coming!! Click on the Hot Links button and register NOW, TODAY - not TOMORROW!
