NOT Business as Usual (WSJ Asia)

Hello everyone.

I find myself reading a lot more of the WSJ than ever now that they seem to be covering golf in a friendly and informative way. As a marketing consultant, I strongly believe in “Relationship Marketing”, even in this Internet age. Of course, I am doing more and more internet marketing through social media outlets, but when it comes to building business partnerships, I still go for the one-on-one.

Anyway…they also give some good suggestions on where to get more info, but I also encourage you to check out “Mr. Business Golf’s” blog and his book, “How to Play Business Golf”.

In the meantime…..work hard, play hard and have fun while doing both…what more is there to life?
