Where are you?

The business community has inclined me to make people aware of something that is very important: BEING ON TIME. Hell, how about just showing up.

It puts a damper on not just your schedule but others too if you decide to cancel. I understand that emergencies come up but you NEED TO CALL.

Here is an article found on Ehow you may find helpful and can explain the steps you need to take to make it to meetings on time.... Take notes.

Everyone has been guilty of arriving late for an appointment and making up excuses for our tardiness. The fact is that being late only adds stress to your life and does nothing to prepare you for a successful meeting, appointment or visit. Even if you're perpetually late, it's never too late to change your ways and learn to be on time.

1. 
   
   Step1
   
   Prepare the night before for the next day. Review what needs to be done on the eve of your appointment and empty out your purse and briefcase of all unnecessary documents that have accumulated there. Pack what you need, and place all the objects to take with you by the door on a hook or shelf for easy access on your way out.
   
2. 
   
   Step2
   
   Learn to rely on your clocks. Your clocks should be your best friends. Set the alarm clock that you keep on your nightstand ahead the amount of time you usually find yourself running late. Buy more clocks and hang them in every room you spend a lot of time in. The constant reminder will help you stay on task and leave the house on schedule.
   
3. 
   
   Step3
   
   Change your bedtime. If you're routinely tired when your alarm goes off and have trouble pulling yourself out of bed, start going to bed earlier. You'll be much more rested and sharp for your appointment the next day and won't be late because you spent that extra half-hour dozing under the covers.
   
4. 
   
   Step4
   
   Psych yourself into being early for appointments. Think ahead of time how much more successful your appointment will be if you actually have time to sit down in the reception area 10 to 15 minutes before your appointment to review notes and mentally prepare. Remember that rushing in late only makes you look scattered and unprofessional.
   
5. 
   
   Step5
   
   Be sure of the location and how to get there. The day before your appointment, confirm the exact address with an assistant, and get directions from him or the Internet or rely on your GPS--or do all three. Review the directions the night before so that you're familiar with the route, and don't leave your map at home.
   
   
   
   
   

"All you need is Twitter....."

Let the truth be known that you secretly play air guitar in your living room to Yellow Submarine when you get home from work, but don't worry that won't have to be the case for long.

With the Rock Band: Beetles version making its debut, it only logical to check out the game for the first time at OKC's September 10th Tweet up.

OKC Tweet up's are a way to meet people you have connected with via Twitter. Usually, you connect with someone online after you have met them in person, but this event gives people the opportunity to meet beyond cyberspace.

 A 140 characters can only be used for so long. This event is the time to meet face to face.

Located on the second floor of Nonna's Euro-American Ristorante, Purple Bar is the scene for this month's meet up. This sheek bar with unique lighting provides a cozy and great meeting spot.   

Twitter has hit the ground running in 2009. The site has recently saved lives in medical procedures, informed people about inclimate weather and even got someone out of jail.  

Guest speakers, door prizes and networking are all going to take place at this upcoming event.

Oh, and don't forget a lil bit of Rock Band action too!

More and more businesses are leaning towards social networking and Twitter is a great place to start.
