It's a Miracle

It was a sad weekend for our industry as we learned
of the death of our old friend and mentor Jim Rohn.

Jim was referred to as the world’s foremost business
philosopher because his wisdom was so profound, yet
so incredibly SIMPLE.

He was the son of a simple farmer which is probably
why he so valued the lessons in the seasons of life.

Jim also believed in Miracles.

Actually, Jim believed that everyone has
a part to play in every Miracle.

He would tell this story of “The Garden”.

One fine day a young man was walking past a garden.

It was ill attended and overgrown with weeds.

The young man undertook the care of the garden
and over time as he tended it, it grew and flourished.

One day, a passerby saw the garden and commented…

What a beautiful garden God has created.

The young man, a little puzzled and dis-jointed by
the remark, thought…

Yes, indeed, if not for God’s Miracle of the seeds,
the sun and the rain, the garden would not grow.

However, the young man pointed out…

You should have seen this place when God was taking
care of it by himself :-)

Jim’s humor was his hallmark, second only to his
profound storytelling.

His message was quite SIMPLE.

Miracles are a Team Sport.

They are NOT accomplished alone.

There is a part for YOU in every Miracle.

Jim is gone, but I think God is Smiling.

Jim took what God gave him and he created Miracles
all over the world.

RIP Jim, your BEST work is just beginning.

We Love YOU for being Our Miracle.

never to soon.

To say I am Grateful for You and
for all that you do.

Is It A Trick or a Treat???

Marketing in our current business environment is a
"Tricky" thing.

To quote Seth Godin in the Purple Cow, your clients, customers
and potential business associates can see your marketing message
coming from miles away.

Most consumers have "Blinders" on and are "Blocking" messages
at an even greater speed than ever before.

And...This doesn't have a thing to do with the current
economic climate.

James Ray author of "Harmonic Wealth" says that there are
400 Billion Dollars in ASSETS flowing through the Universe
on a monthly basis.

There IS "Money" to be spent, but consumers are choosing more
wisely on who they spend it with.

Is your Marketing Message a Trick or a Treat???

Are you trying to "Trick" your customer into an offer,
an opt-in or a sale???

Or...Are you "Treating" them to a show of Appreciation???

Are you Sending to Give with no expectation of getting
anything in return???

This is the New Generation of Appreciation Marketing.

Studies have indicated that consumers want to be Recognized,
Remembered and Rewarded.

Treat your customers with Acknowledgement and Appreciation
and watch your business GROW in Gratitude.
