From Sheep to Sodas: The Early Years of J. Willard Marriott
"A man should keep on being constructive, and do constructive things,” J. Willard Marriott once said. “He should take part in the things that go on in this wonderful world.

Local Store Marketing: New Hope For Restaurants
Local Store Marketing is quietly becoming the marketing option for all franchised restaurant chains. And I should know, I have spent the last 8 years building a company to serve this exact need. I have a few theories on why LSM is so popular, let me lay a couple of them on you right here... Theory 1) In today's world, diner's CRAVE old fashioned service and attention. If a restaurant owner goes out into his or her local village and becomes popular- they will drive business to their place in a New York minute. Theory 2) With money being tight, restaurant owners are forced into being creative and efficient with advertising.

Interestingly, technology makes this personal, customer service possible!

Is there a Place for Destiny in Your Life?
I recently read an article online that asked the question, "Where will you be in 25 years?" then invited me to first consider where I was 25 years ago as an way of introducing the role of destiny in our lives. I found the exercise interesting and worthwhile so I thought I'd share it with you. Where were you 25 years ago in 1983? Me, I was 35 years old. I'd graduated from veterinary college 9 years previously, and I had purchased my own veterinary clinic (a former out patient clinic of a larger hospital) for the rip roaring price of one dollar, which was about all the savings I had at the time. The rest of the purchase price, if memory serves some $26,000 was financed at the local bank. Not long after, the loan that started at 12% shot up to 19%.

THE MERITS OF SCREWING UP
Has there ever been a time when you were told you were a screw up? I have this idea that there is another way to look at this thing called life that may or may not be helpful to you. It is that life is comprised of one screw up after another. Yes, you heard me right! Oh, we don’t mean to but one way or another we do and in my case more times than you might imagine, especially earlier in my life. One of the biggest screw ups, if not the biggest I ever made was to spend too much of my time and too many years trying to please others so that they would like and accept me. This one monumental screw up that sat like a dark cloud over my head for so many years was the main reason for a whole series of screw ups that followed over the first thirty-five years of my life. Yes, you heard me right, 35 years!

Riding into Risk - Only In My Mind!
Many years later after having my children and long after the risk taking years – I re-learned to ride a motorcycle. Only this time the bike was 3 times the size and weighed in at about 487 lbs. I learned not only how to ride it safely by taking a course – but also learned how to lift it – in case I ever fell or dropped it. (which I did a few times!) I rode for four years before we moved and sold the bike. Three years went by before we decided to get another motorcycle.
