Two Events in Des Moines
We don't do politics here. We do share with you some interesting items that will have an impact on your business and we call those consumer trends. On Monday, in Des Moines, there were two events that will shape the business climate. Members of the GOP met to listen to a number of candidates who may or will be seeking the Republican nomination to take on President Obama in 2012. J.

Meanwhile hundreds of union workers and their supporters packed the Iowa Capital Building in support of the Wisconsin Workers and to voice their opposition to a number of bills working their way through the legislature. We'll share some footage of what we saw...

Relationships & Business
Here is the question: "How well do you cultivate and maintain the relationships in your professional network?" If you remember, just last week we talked about having a system in place to communicate (outside of social media) to boost your professional network relationships. Looks like that and this might be good advice. Here is the response from several hundred business people to the question above:
- 45.9% - I respond from check-ins from others but don't reach out myself;
- 44% - I regularly reach out to check in on others to see what they are up to;
- 5.8% - I reach out when I'm looking for a job;
- 4.16% - I reach out when I can help connect two of my connections.
