Happy New Year... we made it

2009 has GOT to be a terrific year! After all, we have been guaranteed 'change'!!!!

I do have a few wishes for this new year. Here goes:

~ May this year be your best ever
~ May your health be unyielding and may you afford its tune-ups
~ May our economy resurrect from the 'ashes' to serve Main Street and All Streets
~ May you keep your J.O.B, your home and car, and, of course, may the price of gas keep falling.....
~ May salt be plentiful on icy roads, but limited in yur diet
~ May our 44th President Barack Obama be the BEST our nation ever knew, and his refrain "Yes We Can," be rephrased to "Yes We Did" and "Yes We Have."
~ May our planet treat us gently, with no more violent storms, floods, fires or lengthy blackouts!
~ May all nations be blessed with leaders who have wisdom and compassion for all mankind
~ May we put an end to genocide on Earth; no more Holocausts, Rwandas or Darfurs

~ May we take pleasure in our lives, hear the music and find the tunes to dance!

Wishing you a safe and prosperous journey through 2009.

Small Business Success ~ What To Do

Jim Tracy, President and Founder, America’s Best Companies reveals simple ways to help your business remain competitive in today’s marketplace. - especially during these hard economic times.


* “What can I do for you?” — Just ask your customers this question. One well known organization increased their sales by over a billion dollars simply by asking, “Can I supersize that for you?” If they didn’t ask, you wouldn’t have supersized.

* Form a mastermind group – There are many businesses that have survived past economic downturns and they have advice to share. Form a mastermind group with several of these local small business owners and meet over coffee once a month. Share ideas, network and educate one another.

* Become known within your community — Participate in local parades, become involved in your children’s activities like boy/girl scouts and schools - participate in speaking engagements.

* Distribute a newsletter – Share updates, offer promotions, send reminders and speak directly to your customers while keeping your business top-of-mind for them.

* Every business should have a website – From the mom and pop pizza shop, to the hair salon owner, to the electrician and so on. If you want to attract anyone under 30-45 years old to your business, you MUST have a website.

Opportunities abound and Jim provides many of the key steps to take advantage of these opportunistic times to ensure your businesses survival and continued success.
