In a previous article I asked the question, how do we know if we are running our businesses the right way if we’ve never had a formal business education? The answer was that the formal education helped.
I also wrote about getting the most out of trade shows. It is more than the seminars. It is tapping into each display booth. I have written about picking the brains of salespeople who stop by. I have mentioned reading trade journals like National Driller. Many columnists across these outlets relay real issues and solutions. I have discussed the education available around the contractor’s dinner table, between parents, sons and daughters.
