After a winter in Minnesota...
I found this article about a guy who has a jewelry business and the fact that he's in Colorado right now but many other states as well. It documents some of his success but there is an interesting reference to Minnesota in all this. There was a period of time in his life where the article states, "after a winter in Minnesota" he moved to Texas. I think this is interesting that he didn't stay here and it leads me to wonder about what happened in that cold winter of Minnesota. Minnesota can do that to people who weren't used to the rigors of winter, they generally leave. I wonder if it had anything to do with the business climate here which sometimes can be as cold as the winter. But those of us to stay here and make a life here know something that people from other places don't. Cold weather keeps some of the riffraff out. It's as simple as that. No, this doesn't have much to do with Internet marketing, but it does make a point. You've got to find the place where you are most comfortable and can to the best at what you do on a daily basis. There are opportunities here in Minnesota even in the winter that few other places can offer. I'm going to use this statement more often, "after a winter in Minnesota" to dig deeper and to see the role the diversity plays in a life in the north. If the sun was always shining and the air was always warm, would we discover who we really are?
