A rise in Customer Service?
One great thing that I noticed in this Economy is the level of customer service has increased. My wife Mary actually noticed.

Prepared to Succeed
Opportunities are often what we define them to be. Mike McGrail didn't go to church to find a client; he went because he always did. A business plan is useful, but if it's too restrictive, it can blind you to opportunities that you're well equipped to realize.

Lesson #4: Act With Integrity
“Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, once told me something I’ll never forget,” recalled Thomas. “She said the one suggestion she got in life that helped her most was to ‘pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, ‘Make me feel important.’”

The Ten Second Business Plan
Now, finding a truck and buying a truck are two different things. I knew I could buy the truck, but I what I really needed was to justify the purchase to myself and my to wife. I thought about it. Within ten seconds I came up with a business and marketing plan . . . for my wife.

More Than a Gut Feeling
Mary complained to HR and she was sent to a different office for 'better' training. She was unable to learn anything there, also. Her career in the travel industry was short, but expensive. Basically, she should never have been hired. Mary was very personable and she was probably hired on a 'gut feeling' that she would do well.

A Fresh Face in the World: Mary Kay Ash is Born
“Most people live and die with their music still unplayed,” Mary Kay Ash once said. “They never dare to try.” Ash was not one of those people. Raised in a time when few women were in business, let alone successful in business, Ash broke down barriers on her rise up to creating a multi-billion dollar operation. Today, Mary Kay Cosmetics Inc. continues to be a leader in the industry, with outlets in over 30 countries that are staffed by 1.6 million employees.

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". Unfortunately Mary did not action what she had learned. She got caught up in her chaotic life immediately on her return.

5 Simple Ways to Get Back on Track and Have a Life!
Mary is a typical small business owner, she keeps herself busy doing the 'hands on' work. In her case it is doing beauty treatments and she told me she keeps doing this because she really enjoys it. Her clients constantly told her how great she was, which made her feel appreciated. However it trapped her into staying 'on the tools'. Mary had 5 people on her team, and she struggled with letting them handle her clients.

How you can work towards a happy life
Last night, my wife and I watched a movie called “A Simple Plan”. It started with a guy saying how happy he was with his life. He had a good job, steady income, a loving wife and some good friends. He was happy. Then with his brother and friend, they found millions of dollars and from then on, everything went wrong. He argued with his wife and brother. The stress of everything got too much and eventually he burnt the money.

Eliminating People Problems In Your Business
Mary and Ken own a plumbing business employing 9 other people. They used to always complain about how irresponsible their 'boys' were. They wouldn't consistently fill in the correct paperwork . This caused many hours to be wasted by the two office girls and created issues on-site due to basic carelessness. It was obvious that both Mary and Ken were 'too busy' that they overlooked Meeting with your peoplethe basics with their people. They did not communicate with them, hold regular meetings to discuss what was working well and how they can improve and there was no recognition and reward program.

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.
