I don't know about y'all, but #HawaiianShirtFriday snuck up on me this week! First full week back for 2024 has absolutely FLOWN by!!
I often get asked whether AGC Houston focuses more on having fun with our events, or getting stuff done in regards to business and programs. My answer is always first and foremost, whatever our members need/want, that is what we should be doing, but then think "why does that have to be an either or question?"
Sure, given the strict choice of only one, I would probably pick to get stuff done. But can't we have fun while we do that?! If you take a look at our big events to start off 2024, that's exactly what we're doing, balancing the business with the fun. We recognize that our members need/want BOTH!! Heck, would I be wearing an aloha shirt every Friday if we didn't wanna have fun?!
Risky analogy coming here...In some ways (the most positively associative way you can think of), maybe we're like a certain hairstyle that's starting to trend again...business in the front, party in the back?!?!

What is it like in ed-tech sales during February? It’s basically like dating in your 40’s.
Lots of nos, catfished by hot leads, and ghosting.
Education folks are generally the nicest around. We are geat people pleasers and hate to say no, even if it’s because funding for the year is gone. 👻
🍋 Dear admins, it’s ok to say budgets are dry. You never know, there may be another option. Tell us. We want to help!
🍋 Dear sales peeps, July will be here soon. Until then, keep reaching out to say hi, ask how we can help, and make lemonade out of lemons.
🍋 Keep celebrating! This photo was taken a few years ago with the best Lulu cheer squad at the Houston Marathon. The guy in last place? He was cheering on the runner barely in front of him.

WHERE DO I EVEN START?
I’m “snow globing”.
Last Wednesday I excitedly drove up to Bolton. The FAB Business Club for female solopreneurs with gumption had a table for 2 days at “Glasto for business” aka The Big Festoon with 👑🐝 Dani Wallace 👑🐝Dr. Jenny Gordon and I were up early to add fun props so that we were the table everyone wanted to be at😂

We just had the best time ever.
We laughed, we cried, we learned, we grew, we sang, we danced. We made lots of new connections and gave out lots of golden tickets.
I’m still processing. Last time I went to this event I was buzzing for 4 months. 🐝
Tickets for next year sold out yesterday within 48 hours of going on sale. I’m glad I took action and bagged 2 tables. I have a few seats still available. Message me for details.
Any event that you feel OK to wear sequins, and dance and sing with disco sticks at 9.30am in the morning has got to be a winner in my book.
What’s the best business event you’ve ever been to?

What is your favorite MISSO memory?
One of my favorite MISSO memories was when we had
the first ever MISSO fashion show! Although I didn’t
participate in the event, I liked how different it was
from the rest of the events and it was nice to see what
everyone put together to showcase!
What MISSO event are you looking forward to the
most, and why?
The event that I am most looking forward to is the
Alumni Mixer because it’s where both past and current
MISSO members come together, providing an
opportunity for everyone to catch up with old friends
and make new connections!
Advice to members:
1. Don’t be afraid of anything! Learn from failures,
adapt to challenges, and use setbacks as
opportunities for growth!
2. Be yourself! Embrace your uniqueness, and stay
true to your values; authenticity is key to personal
fulfillment!
Pick your panel with passion!
Want to take your event to the next level? Here's the lowdown on selecting the perfect panel:
1️⃣ Variety is the Spice of Life: Choose panellists with a medley of viewpoints for a lively and spirited debate.
2️⃣ Keep Your Eye on the Prize: Make sure your panel topics are in sync with your event goals to make a real splash.
3️⃣ Dazzle & Delight: Opt for panellists who know how to charm and engage, guaranteeing a session that's truly memorable.
