The first two months of 2014 were busy for a lot of people and cold for nearly everyone. If you were caught up in new business strategies, attending sales kick-off meetings, putting on trade show exhibits, splitting wood or shoveling the front walk, you may have missed some of the blog posts that Susanne Skinner and I published in that time frame.
In case you did, I have put together this compilation of posts from January and February 2014 organized by topic. The Next Phase Blog is about things that interest us so these posts cover a pretty broad spectrum. Light the fire, make some popcorn, put your feet up and catch up.
