Early arrivers to NADA 2015

Some of us have the job of arriving early to #NADA2015 and here is my checklist for my bags:

Phone chargers!
Stevia ( they only have sugar and Sweet and Low at conventions )
Extra socks! Feet are going to be hurting, twice the number of socks is a great idea to stay alive for the second part of your day
Smile! It's going to be a jam-packed week so better put that smile on
Extra shirts! Inevitably somebody ALWAYS spills on me
Extra phone! Inevitable somebody USUALLY knocks my phone out of my hand and breaks the screen

That's it, I'm packed and ready for #NADA2015

WIT - What you may not know about this phrase...

Wit is defined as a form of intelligent humor of course, however, the WIT I'm referring to is not that simple. It's an acronym that our partner Microsoft uses alongside many other other organizations and partners throughout the industry. This blog is all about how these "WIT" people have enabled RyanTech. W OMEN I N T ECHNOLOGY At RyanTech we've worked very hard to create an image of credibility, investment and second to none support for our customers. Over the years we've invested time in organizations such as EO ( The Entrepreneur's Organization ), IAMCP ( The International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners ) as well as the MCC ( Microsoft Community Connections ) and participated in the Partner Engagement Board for Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference. All of these engagements have brought value to Me as the CEO and the company as a whole however what's most important about these engagements is that it's taught me to h...

If you had an opportunity to give a room of graduates advice, what would you say?

This would be the most touching opportunity I could ever embrace. I did not graduate college. I did NOT succeed or did I? I did WIN and I did NOT WIN. How does one contradict ones self? Simply through drive and love. Where do you think the name RyanTech came from? Me? Nope! Although if I had a dollar for every time I was called Ryan I'd be filthy rich. This young man named Ryan is my son and he's done an amazing job with life. Working summers, winters and after school time in college at George Fox University where he recently graduated with his BA and prior to that being educated at Modesto Christian School since Kindergarten. He's the best McMillen to have ever been gifted life. He's married to an amazing woman, Cortney, who graduated from Corbin University in only three years and invested time at Oxford. What a resume! From the day he was born I told him "You're going to college no matter what it takes" and he lived the dream of gettin...

Net Worth - the two words

One of the most popular combinations of words used by an Entrepreneur are "Net Worth" and it's become my life goal to PERFECT the combination of these two powerful words. This is NOT about money but about NET WORTH! My thoughts... BUSINESS: In Business, your net worth is all about the dollar amount you have in disposable income after all things are said and done. It's about the footprint you leave on everybody else as you climb to the American Dream of working bell to bell and counting your successes and failures in the experience called a career which in turn becomes a number. When you arrive at your first, second or final goal do you look back and decide for yourself what the Net Worth of all things done has cost you and everyone you touched? FAMILY: In Family, your net worth can be so many different things. Your relationship with your mate or your calculation of how well you DIDN'T mess up your kids and could also be measured by the amount of "co...
