To keep up with my industry we use LinkedIn. So we follow companies that are relative to our business. We review their posts and their relative articles online. We also use Facebook and Twitter.

What I use to keep up with my industry is that I’ve got assistants that pull up RSS feeds and Internet blogs. We check it out. We constantly keep updated and they keep me informed.

I’m probably one of the biggest readers that are out there. I’m really excited about capturing new information. I’m a member of the Strategic Coach. So, I go to that quarterly and that’s a great way for me to keep on top of running a business and disseminate that information to my fellow business owners.

Bonnie Richtman

As an Action Coach, we have access to a lot of information. We have a library that we can go to online. We have a wiki that has all kinds of information on it. I read constantly, I read the newspaper, I read the Wall Street Journal and Crain’s to try to keep on top of everything.

I’m also a big believer of going to conferences. I just came back from the Abundance 360 with Peter Diamandis and he had some great information about the future and where things are going.

I use a pencil and a paper. I use Internet based alerts through Google that give me updates on my customers and on my industry and on new products.

A lot of trade journals for our particular members. Then you can see trends in their industry and changes that are coming up in their industries so that we can stay in front of what their potential needs are and what’s changing in their industries so that we can tailor our products to fit their needs.
