Spring time is here, that means cleaning is near
Spring is officially underway. But with those May flowers comes the dreaded Spring cleaning. Yes, it’s that time to once again get our homes back in order. Everyone knows I’m certainly a fan of a cleanliness, but I’m thinking that even our companies could benefit from a little metaphorical Spring tidying as well. Here are […]
Southern Hospitality: Miami Beach
The Forbes and Bloomberg Businessweek lists are great sources, but for me, some of the greatest business inspirations come from our very own backyard.

Here, at the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce, we’re continuing to come up with ideas to better our businesses and community – and funding is […]
The Gift of Giving
Time to finalize your wish lists – the holidays are here. I always love this time of year, as it reminds me of all I have to be thankful for. But why reserve gratitude for the month of December? Wouldn’t it be great if everyone maintained the warm-and-fuzzy holiday spirit year-long? Spirit is the backbone […]
