Today is Friday, 15 January 2010 and we are nearly the end of the cruise. This is a full day at sea and we are heading back to Cape Canaveral. We will dock at Cape Canaveral early tomorrow morning and the weather forecast is to be over casted and rainy. Welcome to SUNNY Florida, Right!!!
Since we do not have any more stops, we have a full day of training and information gathering. This morning that started with Joel Therien of Kiosk.ws speaking about hosting and how to pick a good hosting company. The next speaker was Tracey Repchuk who crammed about 7 hours of training into 30 minutes. Needless to say, we were not able to take notes fast enough. Thanks Tracey for putting your information on the ship’s intranet. We had many more speakers and broke for lunch at 12:00. The session resumed at 1:00 P.M. and continued until 5:00 P.M. The afternoon consisted of getting solutions to overcome obstacles people are having with their business. The great thing I learned about this group is that everyone is more than helpful to help anyone that needs help. This is not the typical of off line businesses that are filled with cut throats in any and every business I have been involved within the business arena. What a refreshing way to do business.
This evening we had a Farewell Cocktail Party prior to our last evening meal. We also learned the procedures for tomorrow’s debarkation procedures. Some people may think of this as the end of the journey; however, I look at it as the beginning of my business venture within the internet business arena. The information I learned on the cruise is priceless and the friendships I made will last for years. I would like to thank each person that gave me some advice, tips or inspiration and I would like to name each individual but that list would be too long and I do not want to forget anyone. Having said that, I will just say THANK YOU!!
I will take this opportunity to give a special thanks to Mike Filsaime who made this all possible. I got to know Mike a little during the cruise and I have to say that he is one of the most gracious, giving and caring individuals I have met in my 64 years of being on Earth. Therefore, I have saved the best picture for last of my blogs during the 7 day cruise. The picture is me with Mike Filsaime. Mike, you are the man—thanks!
Until next year’s cruise
me (Roger Neumann) & Mike Filsaime
Go out and make it a successful day!
