CES 2010 – Look Good, Act Assured, Play Loud
It is so easy to get swept up in the excitement, the presentations of CES. This year was no exception because there was an event-wide feeling that things are improving and that the PC, CE, communications industry has not only rebounded but is set for a number of years of solid growth. Watch the presentations and it is almost easy to believe that the world really does evolve around us. There are still challenges mixed in with the opportunities. There are sound ideas and products amidst the noise and sometimes it is difficult to see which products and product categories will be immediate hits and which will take months (or longer) to gain traction. We looked at them all and give you a different look at which will rise to the top...and when. It's still Shapiro's Greatest Show on Earth.

How to Beat a Sales Slump
Have you ever experienced the dreaded downward curve or slump in your sales? Most of us certainly have. If you’ve been through it, you probably have a clear recollection of that lump in your throat, adrenaline-pumping moment when you realize that you need to scramble if you’re going to make your sales goal or quota. The feeling can be overwhelming and can set even the most seasoned salesperson into panic mode.

This is both a serious and valid question! "Why" not you? "Why" not now? What's in your way? What's keeping you from achieving all of your dreams?

More Than a Gut Feeling

Stop Procrastination and Take Action
Mary was a 'gunna'. She was 'gunna' do this and 'gunna' do that. Unfortunately all she can and still does do is talk about it. She won't make a decision. Money wasn't the issue, after all she had invested thousands of dollars attending an American guru's week long "life changing" bootcamp. She thought that would be her "magic lifechanging pill".

Sam and Mary Lauderdale, Mary of Puddin Hill
I was inspired to write about Mary of Puddin Hill's company in Greenville, Texas for Mazon Associates, Inc. December 2011 newsletter, Building Bridges as our company purchased client Christmas gifts from Mary of Puddin Hill for the second consecutive year. Surprisingly, it just so happened that Mary Lauderdale's 86th birthday would have been on December 1st, the original date scheduled for publication; thus, a quick edit reflected this change. Most of this article was written from internet research; part from first-hand knowledge from their daughter, Pud Kearns; and from other research. I hope you will also be inspired by reading about this company.
