Dallas Texas Trip - RV Dealer
Because of my last flight being in the air for 3.5 hours on a 2 hour trip in a middle seat, I splurged the $29 and upgraded to Economy Plus on United which gives you a seat with much more leg room and a few first class left-over perks. My intent was to stretch out a bit and get some shut-eye, but the Starbucks on an empty stomach quickly sent caffeine surging through my veins giving me the feeling that some excited organism is desperately trying to break out beneath my skin.
So, I figure now is a good time to empty my brain of recent events.
I'm headed home from the Dallas RV show where I spent some time with Fun Time RV, one of our RV Dealer's in Texas. Sam Kidd, the owner, is very forward thinking and I always look forward to the brain power it requires when meeting with him and his folks. The vast majority of RV Dealers out there tend to think in terms of the present and are always 'catching up' to where their prospects/customers are ... very reactive.
Sam is the kind of guy that is thinking 1 to 3 years down the road. When is the last time you had a client that was wanting to discuss and plan ahead for where they wanted to be 1 to 3 years from now? He sees 'it' coming. It's alot of challenging work to think forward ... you may not always be right ... there's risk involved ... but I've NEVER seen someone with a multitude of successes that wasn't willing to make a mistake. Playing it safe gives you a paycheck ... playing it forward allows you the opportunity to have your dreams become a reality.
It was just 6 years ago that we started with one RV Dealership as a client. I'd been involved with web development for a few years prior and the opportunity presented itself to develop a website development and Internet marketing service to RV Dealerships. I knew where I wanted to be ... I knew what it looked like ... it's taken alot of late nights, financial sacrifice, and a patient/loving wife and daughters. Have I arrived? I'll never 'arrive'. Why? because where I want to be keeps evolving and what things look like keeps responding to the technology and marketing opportunities that are ever changing.
It's a great life helping RV Dealers develop and market websites for their prospects/customers to research and discover their next personal or family adventure!
Until next time...
