A few weeks ago my son Jerrod and I were having dinner at Corky’s BBQ, the store I sold about ten years ago. Very interesting that my daughter Jordyn is now a hostess there.

I look at my kids and feel like a slouch. Great grades, common sense, involved in the community, incredibly kind and gracious. Oh. Let’s not forget funny. 

Networking has never been my strong suit. As much as I come off as an extrovert, there is a level of discomfort that comes over me in a large group setting. Unless I have a few drinks under by belt and I’m telling jokes, I usually am a bit shy. 

I have clients and potential clients who employ catering sales reps. The amount of catering success these salespeople achieve are all over the board. Some restaurants and catering companies are really able to propel their catering sales with the right rep.

I know what you’re thinking. Hotels? How can I book more catering jobs because of hotels?

For the last four months I have been working with a business coach. The thought of spending more a month on my coach than my mortgage was crazy, but I knew this was just the guy to help me.

April 15^th sends chills down the backs of many people. For some it means a big tax bill and for others an extension is filed; delaying the inevitable. 

As much as we would all like to stay digital and avoid paper, there is no way around it.

Last week I did a webinar with Michael Rosman of The Corporate Caterer. 

Growing up in Memphis, my mother would drag my brother, sister and I to Goldsmith’s department store downtown. The first Wednesday of the month was called Clover Day. It was a one day sale that the store used to get rid of returns, overstock and stuff they couldn’t move.

My father taught me to appreciate wrestling, but my mother showed me how it was done. Women would literally grab items out of your hands. My mom could throw elbows and insults with the best of them.
