Fun in the Sun: A Little Rest and Relaxation in Miami




Every year, all managers across the nation are rewarded for their hard work with a tropical vacation. This year the managers headed down to the Eden Roc Renaissance Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida.

Ashley D. Smith, President of Bold Marketing Strategies, traveled to Miami Beach, Florida last week to enjoy some fun in the sun, as well as networking with other managers, assistant managers and administrators. There were many different activities available to everyone including pool parties, jet skis, cornhole tournaments and a dodgeball tournament.

"The talent show was definitely the highlight of my trip," said Ashley. The company put together a talent show to help raise funds for Operation Smile. The acts included stand-up comedians, impersonations of Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” a pianist, and musicians of all kinds. The winner was an opera sing who blew everyone away with her beautiful voice.

Bold Marketing Strategies has the motto of, “Work hard, play hard.” That being said, everyone had a great chance to enjoy themselves but they were also able to do a lot of networking with other managers from across the nation. Ashley said the biggest thing she took away from the trip was, “Opportunity isn’t giving more, but it’s about getting better. People will do whatever to survive, but few will push themselves to get better and become more successful.” 

Business is not only about professional growth but personal growth as well. All in all, the trip was a great success and we are looking forward to see all of our accomplishments throughout this next year and bring more managers along for the next R&R!
