Among the other highlights of VISION 2008: • A look at the “7 Irrefutable Rules of Business Growth,” by Inc. Magazine senior consultant Steve S. Little. Among his rules: Everyone needs a reason for getting out of bed in the morning, and it is not about money. “It takes many forms, but one thing is certain: Wealth accumulation is not a sense of purpose of business growth leaders,” Little said.
• A two-part presentation by business consultant John Brandt, of MPI Group, educated attendees on “Creating Value - Swimming in a Profit Pool.”
• A final morning session presented an “Economist's Vision” by Dr. James Smith, of Parsec Financial Management and Western Carolina University. Dr. Smith told attendees how they can project the winner of the 2008 presidential race and also predicted that the stock market will be at record highs by the end of the year.
• Table-top displays filled a hotel ballroom for the two nights of networking receptions. More than 20 companies - along with the six Visionary Award finalists - took part in the displays.
