Bring your own drum, or percussive instrument, but  if you do not have a drum - let us know as we do have a limited supply that we are able to let participants use for events like this.   Drum Circle  participants simply "play” at making music with a variety of drums and percussion instruments.

Latest Release: h ttps://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DYVVZHS6 Down The Road   (Memoir) A passion project honoring the Brummet & Rotar families by sharing a collection of memories written by family members, spanning 4 generations.    Opening with Dave's grandmother, Maria, who bravely travelled alone from a remote Romanian village to meet & marry a man she didn't know. It continues with the life-story of her eldest son Tony Brummet, a Canadian politician.  Continuing the saga, her second son Frank shares his memories starting with tales of growing up in the Okanagan Valley, where he later raised his children - including Dave. Dave closes the book with an emotional look at how this memoir impacted him, that he would have never known about their lives in this way with out their written tales that they left behind.   Get your copy today @:  https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DYVVZHS6

Today we are continuing the discussion of utilizing 3 follow up activities and how this can be essential if your aim is to gain business success over the long-term. In Part 1 (published Nov. 4th) we discussed what the 3 activities are.  The next step is to ease the workload that yearly follow-ups require, and be ready to receive a lot of responses. By this I mean that if we have offered to introduce them to a contact we need to be ready to do so. If we know that we will be offering interviews on our blog to last year's contacts then we need to have some interview questions ready to send off.  Or if we plan on suggesting projects to collaborate on, we need to have all the information ready for any responses you may receive.  It is helpful to develop 2 draft emails that can then be edited and personalized for each recipient.  https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0845RLK1X One draft email is short, and is meant to show appreciation for past networking activities, or me...

Today in the first of 2 articles on this topic we'll be discussing the 3 types of follow-up activities that every artist, entrepreneur or business owner should employ. Part 2 will be published on Nov 13th.  Some of our loyal readers may recall that we created a few videos on the Brummet Media Channel (YouTube) to help show others the value of taking the time to follow up. Now, keep in mind that the type of follow up you are taking on will depend entirely on what you are managing that month or that year. Perhaps that month you were reaching out to current and potential suppliers. The next month you might be doing a campaign to build on current connections. As such this article is to be used as a guide to help you develop the follow-up policy for your current situation.   Generally speaking, there are 3 types of follow-up: • Weekly • Monthly • Yearly The main rule here is to have a reason to reach out to your contacts without appearing as "spam" or annoying them. The...
