I spent this past weekend with my family and while I intended to write a blog about networking, it never happened. Instead, as the weekend progressed, I thought a lot about the funny things my family says that have turned into our own personal catch phrases.

I urge everyone involved in the various related trades and industries to jump in with both feet and get involved!

“The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time”
I was amazed to learn that this is a quote from Thomas Jefferson! Every ad salesman knows of an account that has stopped advertising, due to the economy. With daylight savings here once again, it is good to ponder the penny-wise wisdom of how we can really save both time and money.
