Merry Christmas everyone! Had a nice reply from the Green Bay chamber today. THANK YOU for the feedback and setting the record straight. You can see the comment on my tommylog blog.

On the topic of Merry Christmas. Don’t be offended with the greeting Merry Christmas cause its the best saying I have to offer.

So I get the latest edition of the Green bay Chamber magazine, Bay business Journal and there’s the title “30 Local Companies earn top-dog status. Insights on the top 30 privately owned brown county employers. Skimming through the article I see some well-known Green Bay companies… Wal-mart? Georgia Pacific and RR Donnelley? Seriously Local? What the…?!?!?!?!?! Something does not add up? What’s going on there? Please help me.

Lets think about some truly great ideas. Chances are…they aren’t mine So many just killer ideas, Google, Apple, Youtube, Ebay… once right after the other. Look at Apples stock price and then look at Dell. WOW that tells a huge story. Innovation makes the world go ’round!

Please leave comments on the next GREAT idea!

I just received 3 of the BEST thank you cards I have ever received. They all came from the students at Kimberly High School. if you remember, I spoke to their marketing departments a few weeks ago. This is just so AWESOME and the reason why I keep doing this stuff. Truly a humbling experience… WOW!!!!!

So I had this speaking gig in Milwaukee last friday. I spoke tot the Wisconsin Literacy Coalition and it was pretty great. Always great to inspire people to do something they would not normally do. Pretty great. Well after the speaking deal, I met @katiefelten at AJ bombers. Great burger, great fries, great atmosphere and great conversation. And thank you for the card scanner..that rocks!!!

Milwaukee rocks!! Now we just need to get an AJ Bombers in Appleton… Are you listening?

Out of the mouth of 3 year old Emma… “Dad we need to work together on this… ” What a great life lesson. Teamwork.
