Who's Cooking? Dan & Stacy Cataldo

Dan and I were asked by the Wyandotte Patch to share one of our favorite recipes.  Dan selected to make Chinese Dumpling.  This is by far one of my favorite dishes he makes for us.  It is delicious!  Dan was visiting one of our clients  before the Patch came over for the story.  David Reno from Winedotte Wines recommended the white wine to serve with the Chinese Dumplings.  Oh was he right!  The white wine he choose brought out the flavor of the dumplings.  It was so yummy!

Ads merging with Technology

Wow, it always amazes me what technology can do. I like this in the sense that it is custom advertising. I would be gathering all my friends and family to see how the ad would changes according to their features. I think it is a novelty and extremely fun.
The problem I see on the technology side is designing so many ads to really customize it. Some people my take offense if it is too generalized, such as based on ethnicity.
Overall, I am very curious about this and hope to see it in Michigan sometime soon.

Business Networking is a Must for Small Businesses!

We went to a productive Business Networking meeting this morning. The event was hosted by the Downriver and Detroit Business Association with the special guest Chef Brian Ramirez Great meeting and an even better breakfast!

I have been at fault for not networking for our business as much as we should. It's tough to drag yourself out of bed for early morning meeting, or stop what your doing in the middle of the day to go to a luncheon, or even worse, keep motivated at night to catch an evening meeting. But every time I have made it a point to attend a networking event it has paid off!

This had made me realize, as important as it is produce our products, it is MORE important to gain clients so we have products to produce! I am grateful to other small businesses that do attend these meetings. I know they are feeling just as tired, overwhelmed or perhaps unmotivated as I do when attending these meetings. But once you get the swing of talking, exchanging information, my mind lights right up and the motivation and the passion comes right back.

The drive and passion of doing what we do is the whole reason for owning your own business right? Without it, what is the point? So I wanted to express my thoughts and appreciation to DADBA and all other business associations for giving small business owners like me an opportunity to not only claim new clients, but during these trying economic times, to claim my driving passion for my business again.
