came away with, I am sure I will have no trouble getting them to come to

Bus Tours:The tour programs are a great way for
you to work on your business while not working in your business. This is a habit many entrepreneurs struggle to acquire,
and one that is critical to long term growth. Challenge everyone in your
group to find one thing you should try to make your greenhouse, nursery, or
garden center better. If the suggestion from a young team member is not too costly or too risky, follow through by
letting them implement it, monitor and report on the success or failure of their
experiment.

Seminars:With 184 Sessions it is not difficult to
find something of interest to people of all ages. Some advanced planning will
really help engage younger family members. Discuss the sessions that are
important to you and why, but don’t forget to make room in your schedule to attend a couple sessions of their choice
as well. The best way to get them interested in our industry is to learn
about what interests them.
