Who Has Time for Associations?
Making time pays dividends and here’s how.
You may be thinking, I certainly don’t have time for associations because I’m extremely busy running my business and trying to keep up with all of the work we have. You are inundated with opportunities for new business, challenges with employees, the back office management of your organization, keeping up with technology and a myriad of other activities that keep you working well more than 40 hours a week. Does anyone only work 40 hours a week anymore?
We get it and we regularly hear from business owners that would love to tap into our association but simply don’t think they have the time. However, I would ask you to pause for just a moment to consider how re-prioritizing a couple of monthly to do’s to make room to use the benefits that the Electronic Security Association (ESA) makes available to you, can make a positive impact on you and your organization.
Here is a roadmap to success by just spending a little time with ESA…
