From here to a star

Look! Up in the sky.

Look! Up in the sky.

Goals. Realistic goals. Impossible goals.

Goals are necessary for direction. And if they’re not impossible, how will you know just how far you can reach?

1. Make your goal specific.
2. Give it time.
3. Remind yourself daily of your goal.
4. You’ve got to believe in it.
5. Roadblocks do not translate into failure.

It’s not rocket surgery.

PS. Are you getting it yet?

Do you have a plan on how to get there?

“The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. You can’t blow an uncertain trumpet.” Theodore Hesburgh

That sure is some green grass.

Inviting atmosphere. Quality service. Great people.

These are phrases you hear when consumers are asked about why they shop at a particular store that might not be the closest or most convenient location for them.

Better yet, how far will you go to provide these?
