HAPPY THANKSGIVING........

DOING WHAT IS RIGHT

As most of you know, I am a huge Meeechigan fan, (was it that hard to figure out?) and what has transpired over the past 72 hours has shone light on a man named Lloyd Carr. Having some inside knowledge of what this man is all about, I find it tough to see him go because he was able to do something at a major university that most others can not — he ran it his way. For the13 years he spent at the university, he stayed true to himself and did not succumb to pressure from outside forces. If a player skipped class, that player could not participate in practice or get his PT. Did this hurt his chances of winning on Saturday? Of Course. But he did not waver in what he thought was right, and he was fortunate to have the support he needed.

I am also fortunate because I work for a company that allows me to do things “right.” If it is raining, I can cancel the event without penalty because it is the right thing to do. 

Hopefully you are in the same situation. Hopefully you can do what is right for the customer versus what is right for your company. It sounds simple, but we all know that it is difficult to do what is right without the support. Most of us have been in situations where we had to compromise the customer, and we all agree it is no fun. 

The bottom line — there are plenty of situations that are “right.” If you happen to be so fortunate, congrats. Be thankful. If not, Meeechigan is hiring.......

 
"Thirteen years ago when I was named the head coach, I took as my guide, the words of Bo Schembechler. He said, 'Be your own soul. Learn to live. If some man force, you take no heed, if some men hate, you have no care. Sing your song, dream your dream, hope your hope and pray your prayer.' And that's what I've tried to do."

PS- The great news is that when you do it right is when the phone rings with referrals and testimonials.

PROMOTE..... PROMOTE...... PROMOTE......

You have figured out your niche. You are unique. It is time to sit in the corner and do nothing. NOT.......

You have to go out and promote. How many presentations or seminars have you given in the last year? How many boards do you sit on? How many articles have you published? Do you have a blog? Are you sending a weekly e-mail to your network. Have you written any books or manuals? Are you doing a radio show or do you have a downloadable MP3 program on your website? Are you on TV? Has any publications written about you and what you do? Do you have your own publication? (Even if is a newsletter)

OR should I ask.......

Who won the World Series of Poker or that matter, the World Series? How about Dancing with the Stars or American Idol? 

You get the point.........

Get out and promote your company and what you do through these grass roots functions and watch your business grow.

PS- I have to take time to give cutos to my 9 year old daughter. She won her speech competition in her class and is competing on Friday in front of the whole school. I listened to her this weekend, unbelievable....... I was way too proud. The morale, the little ones are learning early not to be afraid of the microphone......

Had to keep the Little Meeechigan Man posted, Anybody with that much guts deserves two weeks of exposure....... 

THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING..... Eagle Creek has rounds of golf for your clients, fashionable apparel along with other gifts in the golf shop and we have a few openings for your Holiday Party. Give me a call today to discuss the golfers on your list....
