People always make a similarity between football and fighting a war. You might remember George Carlin making connections between how football is played and how wars’ are fought.
“In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line”. George Carlin
I think there can be a simile made between football and business. They both are very goal oriented. Football’s goal is to score point and business’ goal is to score dollars. Both have many different kinds of players on the team. But if either doesn’t have a plan of action before starting a game, they fail.
In both football and business, along the way the game plan has to be altered and changed. But both are still on the same constant mission. In football they’re mission is to make it to the Championship. In business…well, in business, we have many different kinds of mission statement. Each business’ mission statement is created around its own goals.
Have you looked at your business’ or organizations’ mission statement lately? Maybe it’s time to do that. Reacquaint yourself and your team with that mission statement. Check and see if you’re adhering to the statement or that maybe you need to rewrite the statement.

Community Involvement Helps Your Business!
Dr. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Presbyterian told me this funny story. Yes, Presbyterian’s have a sense of humor, a heavenly humor!
One day a very successful business man who had made it a point over the years to donate 10% of his profits back to the community, came to Dr. K with this dilemma. “Dr. Kennedy” he said. “I am in a situation where my 10% donations have come to a very large amount of money. I am thinking that I need to cut back. What do you think?” Dr. Kennedy replied: “Sir, I think we need to pray about this.” The successful business man agreed. “Yes, let’s do that.” So Dr. K began to pray. “Dear Lord please lower this man’s income to a place where he can comfortably donate 10% again.”
OOPS! Some of you don’t get this joke! Because some of you have never thought about donating back to the community, shoot, that’s what our overburden tax payments are for, right. Sure it is. But giving back to the community has far greater returns. Stop! Don’t think I’m going all religious on you!
There are tangible benefits to giving back to the community. For one thing, if you give enough, you'll be able to use the charitable deduction on your income tax. For another, giving back to the community can raise your business' profile and even bring you more customers or clients.
Many businesses even include their charitable work in their advertisements, potential customers like the sense of being able to combine their pleasure in patronizing a business with the pleasurable sense of helping others.
But lastly, community service is about building a stronger community and a stronger community means better customers!
Let me tell you about a business in the city I live in, Flint, Michigan. Teton Business Solutions. Teton is a company that helps other companies in a multiple of areas; Hiring, tax consulting, payroll, employee training and bunches more. But along with their drive to create quality business solutions they also have a community heart.
I can’t at this time talk about the details of the vision Teton has for our community because a lot of it is still in the making and I don’t think they need or want to be praised for what they think of as a “natural thing to do”, but let me tell you that they’re looking to take what they're good at and using it to help start up a community work serve, a place where the “Homeless” or “Jobless” can go to find work.
WOW! Do you understand what that means to a community? Those folks that are out walking our streets, panhandling for money, filling the shelters, now have the opportunity to get back into mainstream sociality.
What does this do for Teton Business Solutions? Do they get the warm fuzzies from helping others? Do they get their name mentioned in press releases? Do they get the satisfaction of doing something outside their own self interest? Yes to all, but the real payback is that they’re helping our community create better, productive citizens.
Their efforts will reverberate around our town. AWESOME!
Teton Business Solutions is the kind of “doers” this country needs. And it might just be a company your business needs too.

Flint, Michigan Friday! Nothing to Hide.
I’ve decided to write a novel. It’s much easier to deal with fictional problems than real ones.
I had the television on in the background today while I was working at the computer. Somehow the program that was on caught my attention, a show called “All My Children”. I later learned that these kinds of shows are called “Soap Operas”. By god, why hasn’t anyone told me about these shows before! They’re a fantastic cross between reality and fantasy. They have the incredible ability of distorting the truth and cause me to want things that are not possible and to think thoughts that are harmful to my mental well-being. I need to watch more of this stuff!
We had to take one of M’s cats to the vet today. I am a dog man myself; I prefer a good hunting dog like Labrador Retrievers or Weimaraners. I owned a female Weimaraner for many years; my sister and parents both have had one. The Weimaraner is a very smart and friendly dog. I taught mine to go to the mail box, open the lid and retrieve the mail. I also taught her to lift her leg to pee. Guess back then I had too much time on my hands.
M has cats. They’re nice enough animals and I get along with them for the most part. The one cat (Fenway) will fetch a rubber ball and bring it back to you. It’s very dog-like and I have an affection for him because of it. The other cat (Sullivan) likes to climb on stuff and knock things over. He also has the uncanny and irritating ability of getting between you and whatever you’re doing. But it was while sitting in the Vet’s office that the thought came to me;”Just what is being a Veterinarian all about”. After pondering this notion for almost thirty-seven minutes, I came to this conclusion. They’re a person that spends lots of years and lots of money, studying not only human biology but beastialogy too.
I went to the Crim Race, here in Flint, Michigan. It was originally started in 1977 by a man named Bobby Crim. He was one of the first people to begin the activity called “Jogging”. Even back then he had a concern about the lack of physical fitness with the people in the community and was all about finding ways to help prevent illness due to lack of physical conditioning. Many of us just called him a “Meddler” and that jogging was nothing more than bicycling without the bicycle. Others call people like him a “Politician”.
I was living in Flint back then (Now back again after 25 years) and remember thinking “Why the hell would anyone run just for the sake of running” we lived in Flint Michigan, home of the world’s larges car manufacturer. We didn’t need to run; we have huge eight cylinder, gas guzzling automobiles sitting in our driveways that could take us the two blocks down to the store. But now years later “The Crim” is one of the larges “Running” festivals in the country. That weekend the streets of Downtown were jammed packed with thousands of people, some to walk the course, some to run and others to stroll with their families on a short course created just for them. Also, some of the top runners in the world show up here to show off their long, skinny, muscular running legs. If you’ve ever eaten frog’s legs you will have a better idea of how these runners’ legs are shaped, cept without the flippers.
Here’s the site for more information about “The Crim”. http://www.crim.org/
P.S. I also discovered a new TV program called the NEWS. Its all about people telling me stuff that is supposta be important to me, but they seem to “Report” the facts using they’re own personal viewpoint, supporting they’re own personal agendas and they’re own possible financial gain. It works just like a soap opera; distorting reality and causing me to want things that are not possible and are harmful to my mental well-being. I am thinking of subscribing to the “All Nude News Channel”. At least those people have nothing to hide.

It’s as simple as that!
Tech Support: ``What does the screen say now.''
Person: ``It says, `Hit ENTER when ready'.''
Tech Support:``Well?''
Person: ``How do I know when it's ready?''
The other day I was stopped on the street by a camera man and a local news reporter in downtown Flint, Michigan who asked me what we should do about the city lying off firemen. I told them in my Michigan via Florida way; “We could stand around talking about how bad it is that the city has laid off 43 firemen, we can discuss to death the finer points of the Mayor’s decision making process or we can just get to the root of the problem. We need to create jobs that can start people paying city taxes so we can hire back those fire fighters! Oh, and don’t look to the government to create those jobs, that’s just spending tax money we don’t have anyways, we need the local business community to create local jobs, for local working people. It’s as simple as that!”
BUT THAT’S NOT SIMPLE!!!!
OH, YES IT IS!!!
NOW (April 8th 2010) IS THE TIME TO START HIRING NEW EMPLOYEES!!!
Here’s why; there is money available to businesses to help in hiring new staff. Sometime this money can be directly deposited into your business account or other programs create tax breaks for your business.
They pay you to hire people?
Yes, but! You need to want to grow your business! Seem to me too many businesses in town are all sitting around doing nothing but being happy that their doors are still open. They don’t want to take a chance in increasing revenue by spending some cash now for fantastic future opportunities. Those kinds of folks are willing to let the status quo wash over them and soon drown them! It’s the businesses that are stepping up now that is going to get the big returns. It’s as simple as that!
BUT WHERE DO I GO TO FIND THIS MONEY? TETON BUSINESS SOLUTIONS.
What! And miss all the wasted time standing in line at government offices or not getting my phone calls returned?
That’s right! Call, write, email or go to the website of Teton Business Solutions and ask how your company can benefit from their experience in hiring, staff training, finding tax breaks, pay roll solutions and so many other areas of business.
Of course you could just sit where you are, being happy that your doors are still open, that is open for at least a little while longer.
Just press the enter key when you’re ready!
IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!

They don’t want to take a chance in increasing revenue by spending some cash now for fantastic future opportunities. Those kinds of folks are willing to let the status quo wash over them and soon drown them! It’s the businesses that are stepping up now that is going to get the big returns. It’s as simple as that!
BUT WHERE DO I GO TO FIND THIS MONEY? TETON BUSINESS SOLUTIONS.
What! And miss all the wasted time standing in line at government offices or not getting my phone calls returned?
That’s right! Call, write, email or go to the website of Teton Business Solutions and ask how your company can benefit from their experience in hiring, staff training, finding tax breaks, pay roll solutions and so many other areas of business.
Of course you could just sit where you are, being happy that your doors are still open, that is open for at least a little while longer.
Just press the enter key when you’re ready!
IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!

Business: It’s time to Hunker Down!
"Hunker Down" is a great phrase; one that I believe was created in the U.P. of Michigan. U.P. are letters representing Upper Peninsula a designate for the land mass that jets out east from Wisconsin and splits Lake Superior and the lower mitten shaped area most people think of when they hear the word, Michigan. The term Hunker down might not really have been created in the U.P. but it’s where I first heard it used.
"Hunker Down" has a couple of definitions. One is to take safety; another is to focus on the job ahead. My favorite definition is that of the act of a group of people, normally guys, circling around a open, bare spot on the ground, squatting down or taking a bended knee as they discuss and draw out (With a stick as a writing utensil in the dirt) a plan of action. Most time I related this to guys out deer hunting. We would all hunker down and map out the areas we would be hunting being careful not to get one another caught in cross-fire.
It’s time for all of us in business to hunker down.
Gather like minded people around you, kind of like finding a group of guys that like to go hunting only find ones that are looking to hunt profits instead of white tailed deer.
Shelter: Make it a safe place to gather, an atmosphere where you all can be comfortable to talk about your dreams, hopes and ideas. Be willing to talk about your needs; don’t be afraid to talk about the weaknesses in your business.
Get help from other more experienced hunters. Man, I remember my first hunt, being all nervous, afraid of doing something wrong but feeling so much better when the more experienced guys shared information about their times out on the hunt.
Then set about a plan of action! Remember hunkering down is not about holding meetings it’s about getting out and hunting. So set about your plan simply with easy to follow directions.
Let me tell you about the group of people I hunker down with, Teton Business Solutions.
Ron Newton and the people that work for/with him at Teton Business Solutions are the kind of people you want to hunker down with. Because of the modern world we now live in, hunkering down is mostly done sitting around big office desks while we wear business suits and “DO” point presentations instead of writing out a plan of actions using a stick to scribble in the dirt, but the heart of the hunker is not lost on the people at Teton Business Solutions.
These folks create a safe place to talk about your business needs. They are experienced in a multiple of aspects of business; from payroll solutions, hiring practices, job placement, staff training to finding money or saving money for your business. It’s and incredible experience to Hunker down with a group that finds way for you to save money and to afford their services.
Incredible! They find ways to save you money and ways to pay for their services.
Again: Incredible! Teton Business Solutions find ways to save you money and ways that even pay for their services!

Think I’ll call’em and see if they got time to go out hunt’in.
