The Greatest Show on Earth: Barnum Soars to the Top
In 1836, Barnum met Joice Heth, a woman who would change the course of his life forever. Heth was blind and almost completely paralyzed, but she could still speak, and what she was saying sparked an idea in Barnum. Heth claimed to be the 161 year old former nurse of George Washington. Barnum was intrigued both by her story and by the possibilities presented therein. If Heth could catch his attention, how many others would be lured in by this oddity as well?

Are You Crisis-Minded or Opportunity-Minded
Today, the economic boom has gone. What’s your attitude? Are you thinking “doom and gloom”? Or are you thinking “hidden opportunity”? I believe our attitude and thoughts are a bigger problem than the external economy. An African proverb states it well: “It’s hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your mind.”

Promotional Products Industry History and Overview
The introduction of promotional products dates back around 200 years. They are of the view that this concept was originated when the then President George Washington created commemorative buttons for his campaign which were an instant hit.

Be a Positive Outlier and Change Your World
When you think of it, George Washington was an outlier and so were characters such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Galileo, Mother Teresa, Joan of Arc and Nelson Mandela. Are you a positive outlier?

Excel in Customer Service. Do you Want to Keep or MAKE History?
Recently I had the opportunity to stay a few days in Philadelphia. While there, a group of us decided to have dinner at a unique, historical, tavern. The atmosphere was haunted by the steps of George Washington as his group sauntered outside after dinner while the band set up to play at the ball celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Everything surrounding us had been replicated in great detail. Time was even taken to create period costumes for our "servers" of the meal. They were intent on keeping history. We were so excited and awed to be able to mingle and chat in such an inspiring room---and then came the "yesbuts".

Change or Be Changed
George was 53 when he had his first attack. He'd smoked for almost 40 years, was badly overweight, had an extremely high fat diet, and handled stress poorly. This warning shocked him into joining a smoking-cessation program. George and his wife also learned about healthy eating and improved their diets. Within a few months he'd lost his huge stomach, was very cheerful, and full of new energy. He was a changed man.
