Happy Thanksgiving

Seeing as I haven't posted a blog in well...a very long time; Thanksgiving seems an appropriate time to play catch up.  Abacus has been very busy the past few months.  Pauline and I hosted a booth at the Clark County Event Center Holiday Showcase this weekend.  This tends to be a large part of where we spend our time during the off season - at trade shows and networking events.  It's a good thing both of us are outgoing and enjoy these functions.  Both Pauline and I love to study people and find out what makes them tick, what they like, what they don't like, and what they are looking for when planning their next event.  More than anything else we find they want to enjoy themselves and they want to feel cared for.

Don't we all?  Want to enjoy ourselves and feel cared for?  I mean when it comes down to it, aren't these two very basic ideals?  Why do so many people miss this in business and in life?  Why do we complicate things?  What limitations are we putting between ourselves and enjoyment?  Are we surrounding ourselves with people who make us feel cared for?  Are we doing business with people who make us feel cared for?  Even if details are missing or things don't go perfectly - are we cared for and better able to manage the disruptions?

This week as Thanksgiving approaches Pauline and I want to thank each and every one of you for your words, your encouragement, and your continued support of our business.  We also challenge you to enjoy yourselves this holiday season.  Take time to take care of one another and require that you surround yourself with others who take care of you in return.  Don't settle this year.  Make a decision to enjoy your event, your holiday party, and the season.  I am committed to making time to enjoy myself and making time to blog about this enjoyment more than once every 6 months!  I am too busy and I will focus on making that time.  I hope your Thanksgiving holiday is filled with pleasure and care.  Happy Thanksgiving from Abacus Event Rental!!!
