Whats Important

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
Dale Carnegie
I was talking with my daughter-in-law (the daughter I always wanted) last night about some friends who are going through a real tragedy right now. Our conversation had me asking myself do I spend enough time on the important things in life. Will people say one day he was a great guy but not be able mention a good thing I did? He was a good salesman(you know they will say that, LOL). Do we spend all our time trying to be successful or just make it in these troubled times that we forget God, family , and others.
What I'm trying to say is that although you may enjoy your work, don't allow it to be what defines you.
I am a Christian, husband, father,grandfather,son,a neighbor and friend that enjoys and works in sales.
What are you? Ask yourself today and try to do something nice for anyone today that you wouldn't normally do. Before you know it you'll be doing two or three good things. You can affect your street, your street affect your neighborhood,your neighborhood your city and so on.

Read the Instructions

My dad once told me that he had a teacher once handout a test and told the class, "Read all the instructions before starting the test". Many of the kids immediately, confident in their knowledge started feverishly through the questions while a few read the instructions,put their pencils down and sat quietly.When those who had confidently answered all the questions finished the teacher asked if everyone was done and then said to the kids, "Let's go over the instructions". The instructions talked about how to fill in bubbles and stuff like that, but finally, the last instruction was do not answer these questions this is a test in following instructions, put your pencil down and sit quietly.
Are we so sure of our knowledge and experience that we feel we don't need instructions(data)to tell us the direction to take our companies. Can you even get that data? I've seen those that thought the gray in the hair assured them of wisdom and those who thought that a degree meant they were brilliant but ignored the market to follow their own confidence and took their companies backwards.

New Technology

Working with the most contemporary technology will give you the best chance to enhance your bottom line. Many publishing systems today were built back in the 70s, before Windows or the Internet! Some have been refurbished, reshaped, and modified to work with a mouse or look nice on the screen, but the truth is they were built 30 years ago. After decades of patchwork updates the systems are crippled with limited scalability and hard to program changes to achieve functionality. Sadly many publishers don't realize they are buying 30 year old technology or that they are trying to enhance their operations with technology that is obsolete! Modern publishers are looking for a system built in the 21st century with current, contemporary technology.
It's time to make the move to IPUB.
