The SECRECT to Relationships – People often ask how I ended up with 5,000+ in my rolodex. The best answer I can give is if you enter a relationship for what you can GET, that is a transaction. When you enter a relationship focused on what you can GIVE…that is a relationship!

Quote of the Month – The two most important days are the day you are born and the day you find out why. (Mark Twain)

Job Report – We have moved from a position of “talent surplus” to a position of “talent scarcity.” The top candidates are gainfully employed. They won’t take a lateral, and demand compensation above market rate. The best candidates have multiple opportunities to choose from – it is no longer a buyer’s market. If you have a tough role to fill, contact The Godfather at mwayman2@cox.net.
