The little things

This past week was my daughter's first birthday. It was a busy week as my family traveled back to Arizona to celebrate June's first birthday with our family and friends. Amiss all the stress of the party coming together, getting things ready, and decorating for the party I lost sight of the "little things" I normally do so that my love and affection is shown towards my wife. I've been married four years now, and I'd like to think I know a thing or two about marriage. So I'm going to share some advice on the subject of those "little things" in a marriage.

• Don't ever go a day without saying "I love you."
• Don't loose sight of what's most important, your wife. 
• When you are tired, and don't want to help decorate anymore, do it anyways, your wife will appreciate it and take notice. 
• After a long day, give your wife a foot rub, (this will go a long way!)
• Offer to change the babies diaper, without being asked. 
• Cook a meal, without being asked. 
• Take out the trash, without being asked. 
• Pretty much anything you do without being asked, will go a long way!

While this list isn't all encompassing, these are a few things I noticed this last week that I could have done better, and it would have gone a long way. Learn from my mistakes, by doing these "little things" you will have a happy wife and happy life!

Video Conference Meeting

This past week I experienced video conferencing for the first time. It was an eye opening experience. I was able to meet with my consulting group members without having to travel and without having to meet in a central location. The ability to meet with whomever you'd like just with the touch of a button is a very powerful tool.

I did learn that this new tool can be a very keen asset in a professional setting. No longer is there just a phone call or email to communicate with customers, now there is another avenue available, video conferencing. It was an ah-ha moment making this realization, and I hope to continue using this style of video meeting in the future. The convenience for all involved make it an essential option for all businesses to have for there customers and employees, and I'm surprised it isn't used more often.

What is your experience with video conferencing? Are you a believer in this new mode of communication for businesses?
