Hiatus: A break or interruption in the continuity of a work...

I'm about to take a hiatus from posting to this blog.

I have several clients that I want to pay close attention to.

I'll be delivering our new offering, RainMaker Clinics.

I'll be very involved with our Executive Luncheon. If you know a CEO or top executive that should be invited, please let me know. Please don't have them try to register without being invited, first.

I'll be preparing for my Networking vs. Not Working Seminar at the New England Business Expo in addition to halping to man the booth and work the show that day.

I'll be taking a vacation in North Carolina with Elaine.

I'll be attending the Boston Business Expo, OEM New England, and Build Boston in addition to the normal compliment of after hours, committee meetings, etc.

In addition to that, I'm concerned that I'm becoming addicted. I find myself saying, "That's bloggable." several times a day. I wake up in the middle of the night remembering that I forgot to write about something. So, cold turkey, until Thanksgiving. (Get it...Cold turkey...Hot Turkey Day?)

I will, however, continue to read the blogs that I read and comment there. I'll also be monitoring comments that are made here and emails that are sent. As a matter of fact, if you write something that's sales related and either send it to me via email or post it as a comment, I'll promote it. So don't go far! I'll be watching.

Hi, I'm Rick Roberge
"Hi Rick!"
....And I'm a blogaholic. At first I started out as a casual blogger. Then I started to blog with friends. They were trying to be supportive, always sending me topics. It's not their fault - they didn't know about my problem....

  I am very impressed. Here we are, nearly two weeks later, and Rick is still off the blog. Cold turkey! I didn't think it was possible.

    I have been tempted every day, sometimes several times a day, but if I gave in, what kind of example would that be? You never know who's watching and what effect you might have.

Perhaps it is time for you to write a book! If you are waking up dreaming about what you forgot to write there must be a book in there somewhere! I want recognition in the book when it comes out.

  Thank you, Sharon, but I really doubt that I'll ever write a book. Regardless, I'll probably always recognize you!

Rick, can you tell us the time of your seminar (and the Dave Kurlan seminar) at the Expo? I don't see times yet, but I'm (we're all?) looking forward to it!

  I don't think that the Chamber has finalized the schedule yet. You can check here http://www.newenglandbusinessexpo.org/seminars.html, or call the chamber and ask when they will be, or just do what I do....Go to the Expo for the whole day and go to the seminar room when they announce that it's time.

  I'm conflicted! On one hand, I'm not supposed to disagree with my mother, but if I agree, then she's wrong!
  
  OK. I guess she's wrong.
