As a follow-up to last month’s article, September is for Celebrating, I’ve realized that October should be the sequel. Indeed, as you’ll see from this month’s authors, there are many reasons to regard October as the perfect month for follow-up.
Follow-Up on BCMC
By all accounts, BCMC 2022 in Columbus last month was outstanding! Wendy Boyd from Spida describes it as “awesome” in her article. Tracy Roe from Eagle calls it “the best BCMC in almost two decades.” In the eyes of Rob Bellian of Vekta, it was a “bumper year,” and Tim Kaasa at Panels Plus had many “encouraging” conversations. The team from Eide Machinery thanks everyone for visiting both of their booths, and Rod Wasserman from Wasserman & Associates reminds us all how our industry is like a big extended family.
If you were fortunate enough to attend the show last month, be sure to prioritize your following up with the friends and colleagues you saw there or missed seeing there! Whether you have new business to conduct or simply want to catch up and stay in touch, October presents your best opportunities to do so before we begin the rapid approach into the holiday season.
Looking Forward to Year-End
Now that it is officially fall, it’s also time to consider the things we have intended to accomplish “before the end of the year.” We all know that Thanksgiving and Christmas always arrive much more quickly than we think they will, immediately followed by the new year. Do you have a mental list of things you’ve been expecting to accomplish in 2022? Are there a few more goals to attain or targets to hit? Whether we’ll be relieved that 2022 is ending or sorry to bid it adieu, we have one quarter of 2022 left—let’s see if we can make the most of it!
