You know how it is … some nights you lay there in bed tossing and turning trying to figure out how you can increase your sales just an additionally $10k each month to afford that new employee, or maybe to simply stop ending up in the red each month.

Customers And Loyalty Come With Devoted and Enthusiastic Retailing-Part II
Are you going through the motions as you show up at your store each morning. Devotion and enthusiastic retailing involves you the owner and your own enthusiastic devotion to your business and what you want to do that is truly special and unique with your business.

A business with a soul effects the kinds of employees, customers and the relationships you want with each.

Historically, meaningless mission statements have been a joke and most of them never see the light of day, much less being read.

Horace A.W. Tabor, \"Silver King\" and Baby Doe Tabor
Horace Tabor is a true "rags-to-riches-to-rags" story of Colorado's Silver King of the late 1800s.

Because in March we celebrate St. Patrick's day, and the fact that Horace's wife, Baby Doe Tabor, is of Irish heritage, makes this a most fitting article for Mazon's March 2011 newsletter, Building Bridges. Please enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed researching it.
