Comparing Walmart success to the US Government-run failures. Interesting to the last note. 1 . Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day. 2.

If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test! Lot of truth here! If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down. If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!) If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about

thomas.ieracitano@gmail.com has left a new comment on the post " One Special Kid ": I was most impressed by his presentation at a previous Bear Den Meeting. Malcolm had articulated with a great command his health situation and the procedure he was about to undertake to the Bear Den of Pack 440 of Hahira. His buddies listened. I was impressed by the words and manner by which he talked about his current situation and the medical procedure he was about to endure. He is doing great and just from his ATTITUDE, I am confident he will endure and this will prove to be just another speed bump in his long prosperous journey in life.

Before we can figure out how to brand yourself, let's first establish what personal branding is. We use this definition: "The process of uncovering and marketing your core competencies to meet an audience's needs, resulting in your financial freedom and fulfillment." Understanding how to brand yourself in order to work a job you love involves these vital steps: • Uncover/Develop your personal brand • Establish credibility • Establish niche involvement • Establish visibility • Create your career toolkit Uncover and develop your personal brand Uncovering your personal brand is your first step. Your brand is how people think and feel about you. Uncovering your brand through self-discovery and soul-searching must happen before anything else. Only after "discovery" does developing a personal brand make sense. Developing your personal brand does not mean that you are creating some fictitious image. Actually, it is the opposite. It means figuring out who you really

Consumers Have Changed The Game Popular social sites like Facebook , Twitter and Myspace have allowed consumers to change the game in the automotive industry. Dealers across the country are scrambling to set up social sites that potentially connect them to their customers. I have begun to notice a trend that automotive dealers have placed their focus on selling and not connecting. Dealers are traveling in the right direction, yet they are all on the long wrong to success. Consumers actually like the ideal that they have the ability to connect with their local car dealer on Facebook, yet dealers have failed to establish a real relationship with their buyers.  We as dealers have a tradition of trying to recreate the wheel, social networking became popular long before the automotive industry decided to jump on the band wagon. Pushing the needle to increase sales is the long road to success for dealers; we have failed to recognize the processes and procedures that these social site

Down the Road Motors Unfortunately, turn over in our business is an all-too-frequent occurrence. We had a controller who worked for us for a number of years then suddenly announced one Friday that the following week would be his last. He was a popular employee with a great personality and conversed as easily with the dealer or upper management as he did with any other employee in the store. So, his departure was considered a loss by most of the staff. Having been asked by his new employer not to reveal where he was going to work, he responded to everyone's inquires with "Down the Road Motors." When the day of departure arrived, a cake was ordered and served in the employee lounge. Good-byes and best wishes were offered by those in attendance, which included the majority of the dealership employees (all except those who were planning a special going-away surprise). As the controller prepared to leave, the general manager wished him good luck and assured
