I decided to share what will be a fairly short post (not really fitting the criteria of how the experts say one must blog, because I don't think every piece of material can BE 1000 words), since this seems to be a fairly simple, basic topic. The reality however, appears to be that while many of us charge forward enthusiastically with plans and ideas and good intentions, a lot of us also fail to communicate well. Holding events within your community, advocating for public activities or planning a town-wide festival for example, are essential steps for building a thriving downtown or destination - and yet some of the smallest misunderstandings can have ripple effects of enormous proportions. (I should probably note here that I am a big believer that respect speaks volumes, and that careful consideration of one's attitude, tone of voice and style of conversation can be extremely useful).
I have this tendency or knack (or weirdism, perhaps), to read an article or blog post and immediately spot a sentence or two which leaps out and gets my attention. The part which jumped off the page at me in this article is what I think many towns and cities often forget about; the scope of responsibility for holding an event. Failure to communicate is something that irks everyone - and yet it seems to be the number one culprit which can not only leave a bad vibe among local residents but shuts the door to future plans. It is imperative then to not only promote your activities but to assign equal importance to the areas of maintaining excellent communication with the goal of striving for a long-lasting business partnership.

"The real problem, however, isn’t that the town didn’t do its job, but that people tend to think more about the revelry taking place, than they do about respecting the place where revelry occurs".
Perhaps we need to be more mindful of others; talk more to understand their reactions and work towards solutions which benefit all parties involved. NOT paying attention to such situations only builds resentment and a feeling of being overlooked, but "with respect all things are possible".
Thanks for reading this ultra short and sweet post. I hope you found some useful thoughts here today.
Have a great week!
