Happy New Year One and All

We are all happy to put 2020 behind us, and hopeful that 2021 will bring us a little closer to … well, to something better. Our businesses and our personal lives have been impacted in ways we could not have imagined a short year ago. Yet here we are. I know that for some, little has changed; yet for others, your entire world has turned upside down. I empathize with those who find themselves in this category. I hope and pray there are brighter days ahead for you.

While few of us are well enough off to help many others, many of us are well enough off to help a few others. And I am certain that many of you have already done just that. I encourage us to continue to find ways to make a difference for a friend, family or business that has been severely impacted by the current events. We support a local outreach, “Second Chance Ministries,” who serves the homeless population in downtown Detroit. I’ve also been thinking about how I might support a local restaurant that is under duress.

So, here’s my question for you as we start the new year. What are you doing? Different that is, or more of. What are you doing to continue to be viable to the people and businesses you serve and that you want to serve? For us, it is a continued narrowing of our focus, and using multiple channels to reach, influence, and impact our clients - and those we wish to become clients. What is it for you?

That is my hope, to catch excellence.

All the Best,

Bill
