I'm working. But before we ring in the new year, I wanted to thank you for helping to transform my thinking.
Whether you know it or not, every Cater-Hater reader has helped me to see powerful new possibilities for my business, my work and my personal life.
As the founder of Carlo At Your Service Productions and party writer for subscribers and Internet surfers at the Cater-Hater, I've been able to meet, interview and build relationships with incredible party designers, thought leaders and authors.
The best part is, I've had the honor of introducing YOU to a few remarkably talented party industry insiders (and their useful messages and provocative book concepts) through my Conversation Piece series.
If your email messages, comments, and feedback are an accurate reflection of "how I'm doing", then I'm especially pleased because I've had no expectations. As a matter of fact, there were days when I wondered if anyone was even here, reading Cater-Hater.
You've kept me inspired when I felt like quitting, educating myself to know more about what you've needed and wanted when I felt out-of-touch and that I didn't know enough, laughing at myself which may have come across as entertaining, and working to stay informed as much as I can about parties - in order to challenge your assumptions about the entire party business and anything else pertaining to it.
In 2010, my goal (and intentions) are to build on what I've started, bring you even more inspiring party industry people, and to introduce you to the most transformative and useful party ideas as I can think of.
Remember to use what you've got and work it!
When you set your sights forward, to get what you want - it doesn't have to look perfect or be perfectly packaged to be good.
Let's have another great ride. Thanks again.
Wishing you nothing but the best and a Happy New Year!
