Last night was the surpass 100,000 subscriber celebration party, it's mix with happy and sorrow, it was the last working day for our marketing manager, she attended our breaking 50,000 subs party on April 10th last year and got drunk, tonight, she is absent, I choose one great restaurant, and invited a few VIP to it, no one get drunk last night, strange to me, it's really a challenge to achieve 100,000 subs and this business wasn’t a easy one at all.
Managing Editor of EMBA manager came to see me and follow with a 80 minutes interview to be published on a new column in the magazine; when she contact with my assistant, I was very happy to hear from her, we met 3 years ago at the international book fair, at that moment, I was wondering where to go next, I had decided to leave music industry and haven’t make up my mind for my next move, so, we talked and she introduced me 3 of the books, as I am the magazine subscribers for 10 years, I have a strong feeling about her visit; we talked about how a CEO influence others to work with them or even work for them; the conversation developed , then I gradually told her the story of how to retain my hero product at the time when I face enormous challenge inside and outside my company.
lunch with one of our designer from creative team who resign last month, she is very creative and unique, this is why I want to keep the good relationship with her, during the lunch, I know that she is into fashion business on her will, sell her first design skirts on the web and planning to open a boutique to demonstrate her fashion design, not limit to cloths, the finding brighten my eyes, on the way back to office, I bought 10 cake for employees to celebrate the surpass 100,000 subs, I don't like to celebrate the good news and throwing party with mangers only, so, this is a pre-empt thing I did on Friday.
Thursday, we had a press conference to launch our VIP card, a membership / community tools to retain our customer, Platio is the venue pick by our people, it's a mix restaurant, lounge and cigar bar, we invited 2 of our senior customer to join the celebration with us, they take leave from their company and join our press party, the party went ok , this is the routine that we need to do every year -- telling the media your strategy for the coming year, some figures you wish to show, and differentiation project you want to do ;; to be honesty, the views they don't really interested in the news,the better you prepare, the happier your competitor are, cause they watch every move you make and by the new release, you are naked.
Thursday morning I did 2 welcome talk, one senior engineer who share with me his rock’s roll history, we had a great conversation, the other lady who we hire for the process control is very mature, what I share with her is to carefully review or design process is must, but don't falling to a trap that trying to divided everything and find a owner, if things don't overlap in certain way, it will break, check people who willing to do more and allocate he or her the job that you t know their passion will glue the line, seamless only happen in object with no life, don't make this mistake.
