TECHNOLOGY? Really, ABSOLUTELY
Recently I attended a luncheon in honor of new members to the organization. Several generations of women, many of whom I grew up admiring were in the room. One of the discussions was about technology. Fifteen years ago no one at the table would have had a cell phone, but today? The question is how many cell phones do you own?
Technology? As a baby boomer, I consider myself "in the game". I am a Blackberry advocate and user. I have taken a BIG bite from the Apple(R) and frequent the Internet regularly. Yes I 'm IN DEEP.
I am not apologizing, I am celebrating! In the game of life I have the ball and playing hard. My philosophy is when I die all my tanks will be on empty! Right now I just let the station with a full tank.
As an entrepreneur it is my duty to be "IN". I provide party planning services across the generations. I can talk with the Millennials (18-30)and have "game", and I can also talk with the previous generations because of my life experiences.
Technology helps TD Sanders & more get the party started. At a networking event there was no music, which equals no atmosphere. I have a black leather backpack that I take everywhere and in it lives MY iPad and all of the accessories. I connected to the amplifier, turned on my Pandora(R), which I subscribe to so there are no commercials,and the party was started! TECHNOLOGY!
I am limitless and ready to get the party started for YOU...

$$ of the Party, more than you think
Ms. Executive you are having a ten year anniversary for your company. Where to start? Call your Administrative Assistant and ask him to pull this together in 30 days. He has a list of to do's for the corporate monthly meeting, the next department meeting and the report for the sales numbers. Now add to that list planning the anniversary celebration!
Your Administrative Assistant is great, and his salary reflects that. Let's say $30.00 per hour. What is this going to cost for the anniversary celebration:
TO DO / HOURS TO PLAN:
plan the guest list 1.0
design the invitation 1.5
secure the venue 1.5
plan the menu 1.0
find a caterer 1.0
plan decorations .5
shop for decorations 1.0
drive time .5
distribute the invitations 1.0
Social media blocked access by companyfind mementos to give 2.0
order/get mementos 1.0
get extra table cloths 1.0
drive time .5
store does not have colordrive to 2nd store .5
set up the room 1.5
pick up balloons 1.0
balloons pop in car so you have half as many as you needed
check with caterer .5
meet the caterer on site 1.0
greet the guests 1.5
check for ice for drinks .5
help caterer breakdown 1.0
clean up room 1.0
return room to purpose 1.0
Total time spent by your Administrative Assistant 23 hours.
You could have hired an event planner for $700.00-$1000. BUT, you saved money because you did this in house RIGHT?
Not only did your Administrative Assistant get it done, but the caterer was his favorite Aunt and something was not quite right about that potato salad. Half of the balloons for the event did not make it from the store. Your needed sales reports were delayed by three days. The final bill for all the party supplies totaled over $400.00. So by doing this event in house your cost was $1090.00 and you saved money from using the event planner?
Think about all the "man" hours used, the non matching colors for the decor and remember the potato salad? Is that the memory you wanted for your company's tenth anniversary?
