I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

11/29/2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007
If you’re in the U.S. today, odds are you’re at home enjoying the aftermath of a Thanksgiving holiday meal. Let me just say that whether you had a Thanksgiving holiday surrounded by family, friends, or both, I hope it was joyous. If you know someone who doesn’t have friends or family with whom to share this time, please reach out and include them. Chronic loneliness can exact a measurable toll on our mental and physical health. Wherever you are on the globe this holiday season, I encourage you to reach out to someone who might be battling loneliness and connect. It will make a difference to them. Not only will it help get you in the mood for your winter holiday of choice, but it’ll be good for your mental health as well.

11/25/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
Most Saturdays, I take the time to invest in myself. I usually have a couple of books I’ve saved for the day. Sometimes, I watch videos germane to the topics I am studying.

By the end of the day, I have two or three great ideas for my business, my customers, and how I can help them.

But here’s the thing: None of that matters if you’re not focused on your path. I’m going to say it straight: Stay in your lane. It’s the only way you’ll ever find success in business and life.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

10/18/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 Magazine
Occasionally, I’ll intentionally select items for this list that follow a theme. Sometimes, as they did this week, themes assert themselves. The component supply chain and sourcing seem to dominate our coverage this week. We’ve got an update from IPC Government Relations, an interview with counterfeiting watchdog ERAI, the 10 global sourcing rules, a course on AI and machine learning in the EMS sector, and warehouse management.

It’s Only Common Sense: Motivate Your Team by Giving Them What They Crave

10/14/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
The business world is teeming with challenges, and whether you’re in manufacturing, service, or technology, one universal truth holds steady: people are the backbone of any successful operation. If you’re not tapping into what your people crave, you’re missing a massive opportunity. It’s not just about salary or benefits anymore; it’s about something deeper, something that Gregg Lederman outlines perfectly in his book, "Crave: You Can Enhance Employee Motivation in 10 Minutes by Friday."
