It's a bird, it's a plane...wait, it's Thunder over the Boardwalk !

Good morning all...

Mid week events sometimes get me a little behind here . So here we are.... Summer coming to a close and new and exciting things on the horizon for the Fall and Winter of 2018.  Remember to always shoot for the moon, for if you miss, you will land among the stars.....

Many of our locals know that when August Rolls around we get to hear the rolling sounds of Thunder Over the Boardwalk. This is the annual Atlantic City Air Show . It's always and honor and a pleasure to go out and cover it.  This year, along with Lisa Diane Hall of LD TV, and Mijatovic Polanco of Mr. Panting Productions, we got to see and hear it all again.... yes, in the sweltering heat. The heat did not stop many people from all over attending the air show. Appearances by Tony Orlando and the American Bombshells were also part of the festivities. The boardwalk was filled with engaging activities for all to partake in.  T-shirts, fun gadgets, trivia and various things to do graced both sides of the boardwalk as you made your way down to the beach to watch the show.

For the first time, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds team showed off THEIR stuff as you will hear in the interview with Larry Sieg of CRDA Atlantic City.  It's always a pleasure to run into my friends Doreen Prinzo and Karen Martin promoting Atlantic City along with Larry and their respective teams.

Others you will see interviewed include Beverly Beveridge, Vice Pres. at Large of  the Atlantic City Public Relations Council-- Lisa Diane Hall Media of LD TV--  Jocelyn Earle "Sparkle Earle" Vibe 609 radio.   Many other media people come out to capture the fun of the AC Air Show
We were able to get a shot of Nick Pittman, "NorEaster Nick" of SNJ....

Of course we are always on location with Mr. Panting Productions via Marco Panting and Mijatovic Polanco.  They always make us look good.  Sit back and enjoy the video of the 16th annual Atlantic City Air Show.

Make your network work for you !

Good Tuesday everyone. As I doctor a horrible cough that has lasted a month now, I have a little down time  (not really ) to reflect on a few things and am always looking at ways to move forward in a positive direction....

First, let me say a big thank you to all my friends and fans who have helped to take this blog to over 62,000 viewers over the past few years. I find it truly humbling and I feel blessed that you take time to check us out !

Now let's talk about your NETWORK... The phrase I love the most that I've learned over the years of networking is that it is not NET- SIT or NET- EAT.... even though sitting and eating may accompany your networking aspect at the end of the day it is NET- WORK !  This means you have to WORK, hello......

Well how do we do that????   The first tip I can give you after networking for many , many years, is to build relationships. People do business with people they KNOW, LIKE, & TRUST.... When you build those 3 things...the rest will follow.  Your network should not only be your "sales" meeting yet it should also be your extended family. 

Many of you know that I love to network. I love to get to know people and have them get to know me. I've been involved in many groups and organizations and still sit on 3 boards today !   In this post, I want to talk about a particular group of people....that is my SOUTH JERSEY NETWORK  family....

This is a unique group as we come together to really get to know one another...and that is how we help make all of our businesses not only survive yet thrive.....

Once a year, we put on a huge networking event that is open to anyone wanting to network with strong like minded professionals.  In our regular routine, we meet twice a month...once for lunch and once for a "business person social" in the early evening.... We are closing in on 100 members making us the largest group of its' kind on the East Coast.

Here is just a glimpse from our last big event.... this one took place at the Linwood Country Club and I had the pleasure of working with Awesome TV . The 1st interview is with Designer and guest Al Seerville. The 2nd interview is with my husband and  SJN member, Art Korth. (These are short clips)

                                                                       AL SEMERVILLE

For this extravaganza that we do once a year, we provide thousands of dollars of prizes that you can walk away with... food... and the most awesome networking you can imagine. Our last event like this one yielded over 600 people.  Can you network deeply with that crowd ? Probably not, yet you take this time to make a connection and that connection grows into something that takes you to the next level....then you improve on THAT !

                                                                     ART KORTH

"OMG ! How do I get into all that?", you ask.... well I am here to tell you....

This year, Aug. 28th from 6-9 PM  join us at the
GREATE BAY COUNTRY CLUB
901 Somers Point Mays Landing Rd. 
Somers Point, NJ  08244



If you are in the South Jersey or surrounding area, you can get into this event for FREE with a special ticket. It just so happens the ticket is attached here for you so you can come ! WOO HOO!
