Jim and Don flew down to Palm Beach to attend DNNcon and had a great time networking, learning and soaking up the sun. They also brought back a wealth of information that will be passed on to clients right away.

As the days start getting shorter we start feeling like we are getting less and less done during the day. There are never enough hours in a day to get everything accomplished that needs to get done. This doesn’t mean that we can’t use the time that we have to stay productive. We just need to shake things up a bit. So go on –grab yourself a cup of joe, splash some water on your face, and have yourself a stretch. It’s time to settle in and get some things done. What’s that you say?
