PROMISES - DO YOU MAKE THEM LIGHTLY?

Image
There is the promise that the sun will come up every day, whether we see it or not.  There is the promise that air is all around us for us to breath and stay alive. These are true promises. One of the best ways to win respect is to keep your promises. Promises are easy to make and sometimes challenging to keep.  It is not a good business practice to make a promise lightly.  In fact, it is not a good practice for anyone to make a promise lightly. The manager to whom you have blithely promised improved results will not forget it quickly if you fail to produce.  Neither will the associate who you have led to expect a pay raise you can not deliver. Why are we all so quick to make promises? The reason most likely is that it is so simple to do.  Promises are a quick, easy and painless way to motivate people and to get them to do what we want.

I think summer should get a speeding ticket. It’s going by way too fast. But there’s still time to enjoy the best of what summer has to offer before the school year kicks in. Isn’t it interesting how we all seem to give ourselves permission to relax in the summer? Even if we don’t have the opportunity to enjoy a formal vacation, we tend to enjoy more down time. Part of my downtime has been spent indulging in a guilty pleasure: Christmas in July on the Hallmark Channel. Have you had a chance to catch any of the movies? Of course, it got me thinking ahead to Christmas and holiday presents (funny Hallmark does that!). To help you with your holiday planning this month, I’d like to tell you about some of the new items that will be available in our Personalized Gifts store. Much like Hallmark, we will have Keepsake Ornaments available. We are still finalizing the details as to exactly what types of Ornaments we will be carrying, but our laser printer will enable us to personali
