Because of my involvement with my in-laws business (www.lapointedrainage.ca )  I have being versed on a brand new industry that is…way different from anything I have experienced.

I was at a Drainage convention last week and it was bizarre.  For one I didn’t understand anything anybody said because the lingo of this industry is new to me and second because none of the presenters had any knowledge of the basics of presenting.  This made for long presentations and too much coffee.

What is there to say about the drainage industry except it’s misunderstood if not completely unknown from the public in general!

I think 4 days away on business once in a while is actually a good thing for an entrepreneur.  Traveling permits me to think beyond the day to day or the evident issues and really work on planning and the ideas germinates in my brain.  The fact you also don’t have to deal with human resources also removes a lot of the clutter.

It is also a good reminder to enjoy your time with the kids as you miss them so much.  I am pretty sure I am good for another 3 months now!
