Can I receive Tile Letter up here in North Vancouver even if I'm not a member.

Did a quick search and couldn't see any where to sign up for the web based PDF format.

Tileletter

John,
Tileletter is free. All you have to do is go to the NTCA website and subscribe to it. You do not have to be a member. There is a misconception from some that if you receive the magazine you are a member. That is not true. But we want to reach out to as many contractors as possible.

hi Folks,
While "Tileletter" is free, you can always donate something to defer the printing and mailing costs.

I recommend that you guys also take time to read some business magazines. You can have all the skill in the word, but if do not understand business principles and sales you are just going to be some-ones slaves.

Its easy to forget that we are also sells people and business owners. If I can't sell myself, my skill and my product (i.e... Kerdi) then I am just walking blind and hoping for the best "give-me" project


I read -
Forbes
Entrepreneur
Fast Company

I read Business Week and Fortune, but the thread title indicates "trade" mags.
