I'm very exited about today's post. After having a regular segment about technology at Robert Cardoza's radio show for the past couple years, and then being on TV a few times, I've been nominated to receive an award in May. The Ultimate Business Leader Award.

The awards event will take place at Sutra Ten Asian Bistro in Costa Mesa. And you should come and check it out. I'm very excited! Whether I win or not, this is a great honor and recognition for my efforts in supporting the entrepreneur community in Orange County. I hope I can continue to mentor you, coach you and provide valuable services for years to come! Please come and meet with me at the event and also get to meet over 400 local business owners and business leaders. The event is going to be great.
