A court ruling over the former Pine Ridge golf course could reshape how Citrus County regulates future development. County commissioners meet Monday, September 21, to consider new rules for altering already-approved projects, with implications that reach well beyond the old golf course itself.

Crystal River High School swimmers recently completed rip current and water safety training, a good reminder as a stormy stretch of weather rolls through. Citrus County Libraries also has a run of upcoming presentations tying together ancient Rome, the Library of Alexandria, and plants from the Ethiopian highlands, and Lecanto High School's cross country team is running with a set of identical mirror twins on its roster.

If you're out today, Brynn's Bytes is parked at the Low Key Hideaway in Cedar Key from 11 AM to 8 PM. Here's what else is happening around Crystal River.

Bad leads. Slow deals. Objections you didn't see coming.

That's not a sales problem. You're selling to the wrong people.

Most founders never stop to define exactly who their product is actually for. So they pitch everyone, convert few, and wonder why the funnel's broken.
