LETTER FROM THE EDITORS
Hello !
Welcome to the spring 2024 issue of Business Growth Connections Magazine . Featured in this issue , we have an article from entrepreneur , author , and former professional boxer George Foreman . In our exclusive interview on page 10 , Foreman reveals his eye-opening rise to fame , the impact his fall to earth had on him , and how he got back on top , followed by his biggest lessons and how you can stay resilient in the face of adversity . Whether you run a small business , manage a department , or are a leader in your community , you will get inspiration and practical advice from this legend .
Now , with this being our fourth issue and the one-year mark for publishing our magazine , we just want to come back to our “ why ,” the reason we continue to invest in this every quarter . Our purpose with this since the beginning has been to educate you in all things business , which we do through exclusive material based on tried-and-true concepts . We have applied many of these concepts to growing our own business , so we know they can work for you .
To that same end , we also have some speaking engagements lined up for this quarter where we will speak specifically on IT concepts like cybersecurity and how to grow your organization using technology . We just spoke at the Kentucky Public Library Association Conference at the end of March , and we ’ ll have more events coming up in April , May , and June . The dates and locations
will be announced online on our social media pages , so if you ’ d like to attend , make sure you ’ re following us there to get notified of where and when to go .
In other news , we have something exciting to share , specifically with our current and future library clients and any organization that manages public-facing computers . Because these computers are often difficult to manage and secure , as well as to maintain user privacy , we ’ ve developed a set of software and best practices to make these computers better ! We call it PAWS — Public Access With Security , a nod to our favorite pets ! We are super excited about this because public computers are always a huge challenge and historically haven ’ t been managed well . This will help fix that and make them more manageable and more secure , a great combination !
Let ’ s leave it there for now . Thank you for reading and to everyone who has provided us with such valuable feedback on the content here . If you have feedback , please reach out to us directly and know that we always love to hear it .
Enjoy the magazine . All the best ,
