Hey Evolve – One month done in Q4 and we’re buttoning things up for our North America Q4 meeting next week. It’s business plan quarter and I can’t think of a time since I’ve been in the business – 30 some years – where having a plan for what you want to accomplish next year and having team of strong leaders working with you has been more important. It’s time for you to lead strong and it’s your turn to drive your business and your leadership team where you want your business to go. There is big money pouring into and being made in our industry and there has never been as many mature, intelligent, well-funded people & businesses in our industry since it started.
We’re still in the 20th year of Evolve (what was HTG) and I’ve been involved for the past 15 years. It’s amazing how far I’ve seen many of you come in that time. We're going to talk about some of that perspective on Community day in Q4. Even though this year did not go at all like we had planned, I look back at what we were able to accomplish as a community and I think it’s pretty great. I know our team has worked hard to continue to find ways to effectively connect you with each other, along with great content and outside resources to help you successfully navigate this year.
Q1, 2021
Today, I’m letting you know that in North America and EMEA we will be virtual again in Q1. We’re doing what we can to get us back to in-person meetings, but local restrictions and hotel limitations make it impossible for all of us to be in person in Q1. APAC – we’re still hoping your Q4 community day and hopefully your Q1 meeting can be in person.
This Week
There are a few really good opportunities coming up you need to be aware of.
If you attended the first half of our Operationalizing Your Business Plan last week we have part two coming up this week. “Very excited about the conversations and feedback we received from part one and I’m looking forward to part two this Thursday.
We also have exclusive Microsoft 365 training coming up on Wednesday at 11 AM eastern. Get your technical people signed up – there will be some great training put on by Microsoft for Evolve members. Register Here.
Q4 Meetings
Also, a reminder that we’re putting together resources for you to gain perspective as you plan for 2021 on Q4 Community Day. We'll have perspective from ConnectWise with a C-Level panel, perspective on the future of our industry with some of our community’s best forward looking conceiver type people and perspective on Evolve – where we’ve come from, where we’re going, and how you can take advantage of your involvement in 2021.
Thanks again for being in Evolve – stay healthy and lead strong!
