THE BRAND AS JIHAD
Some mornings she would wake up positively dying for a ciggie, and she would think she didn’t have any, and she’d walk angrily through the house only to find that, yes, Douglas had hidden a pack away somewhere just for this emergency. He had seen enough times her mood swing into darkness when she learned there was not a Kent for her to smoke anywhere in the house. Cigarettes, Douglas had quickly discovered, were a reliable pacifier, that major catastrophe could be averted if he made certain there was always a smoke to be had. He also quickly learned that her first two hours of the day were delicate, barometric and tentative, and that she reacted badly to any intrusions in her routine. He took to setting her a place at the table each morning, having the kettle hot, and a cup and spoon and the instant coffee out and ready for her.

County: Smokers Need Not Apply
If you smoke, don’t even think about applying for a government job in Sarasota County.

In Prosperous Periods Promote Tactically, In Down Times Promote Strategically
The chaos of the financial community has proven that the fallacy of their house of cards and smoke/mirrors has finally caught up with them. But that shouldn't depress the entrepreneur who has an idea, drive and ... at least some money!

The same cigarette as me
"He can't be a man because he doesn't smoke [syncopated pause] the same cigarette as me."

Netbooks…The Easy Way to Sell More Service
It sounds almost too good to be true -- a cheap computer you can use/carry everywhere, never have to upgrade the operating system or your apps, with a battery that lasts for ... well a long, long time. Sounds great except we end up leaving all of our work in the beautiful white clouds. The clouds move. We forget which cloud has our stuff and how we get in. Worse, there's a **** storm in the cloud just as we want to get in. Yeah...who knew what grandpa taught our little Miss Sunshine while we were out of the room?? Guess we may end up with yet another device to take along... convenience sure is getting heavy!!!

Three Things You Must Do To Succeed
Just remember, 80% of your competition won't do these things, but if you will, you will smoke them in sales. In fact, you will become a Top 20% producer, and I'll bet that will make your 2011 successful, won't it?

Up In Smoke
Recently, I saw two attractive teenage girls smoking cigarettes. I watched them and it was obvious that they were new smokers. As a father who has watched two of his daughters go through the pains of death trying to quit smoking, I wanted to give the two young women a warning and a lecture. I didn’t do it, because they could rightfully have said it was none of my business. As an employer, I looked at those two girls and knew that it would definitely jeopardize their opportunities for getting some jobs. Many companies do not hire smokers. I looked at them as future parents and knew what that smoke would do to their babies, should they continue to smoke and ever become mothers.

How Good do You Feel?
Sitting on the side of my pool with my feet dangling in the water, bright blue sky over head with whispy white clouds like tiny puffs of smoke drifting along; the sun making my skin feel alive and tingling. As I peel an orange picked off of my tree, I think to myself “How bad is life?” On a scale of things, between this and sitting hours on the M25, yeah not much competition really!

The Attitude of Success
The reality is that successful people, those among us we classify as ‘driven’ have simply stopped making excuses for inactivity. They have pulled their heads out of the clouds and decided to learn how to make the world around them work for them.
