It is estimated we humans make an average 2000 decisions per day. Everything from what we will wear,what we eat,which weather report we watch. Incredibly all seem to be consistent with a pattern or habit we have developed. The average person will live about 72 years,depending on gender. This translates to 26,280 days of life if we reach 72 years. Based on the 2000 decisions a day concept we will make 52,560,000 decisions in a lifetime. If you are indecisive deduct some.Most of these decisions of course will be trivial,habitual,uncomplicated and uneventful.How many of those and the thought we put into them will be our life story?Sadly many of us allow other people and circumstances to write our epic journey on this planet.Many of us barter our chance at freedom and independence for a sense of security.Society as a whole is conditioned to accept submission to the current mind set as the true path to happiness and fulfillment.Maybe we are just overwhelmed with the enormity of the decisions we must provide. Possibly this is the reason we have for turning our decision making over to those prepared to do it for us.What a burden we es

When I met my husband Blair Osborn in 1975, I had no idea that our chance encounter would fuel a 30-year partnership in life and business.As marriage and business partners, we understand that stress, aches, pains, and other consequences of busy lives give us all pause to seek more relaxation and rejuvenation in our lives. Making time for both is essential for us and the customers we are committed to serve.Through countless ups and downs over the years, there are several skills vital to the smooth functioning of any partnership. In no other endeavor is it more important to understand and master these skills than in a business relationship with your spouse. To follow are our hard won lessons that will serve others seeking to get into business with a marriage partner without sinking either the marriage or the business in the process.Commitment is the cornerstone. When Blair and I started our business, most people thought we were crazy. Still, we remained committed to our mission and vowed to stay with it. We quickly discovered that running a business required knowledge and resources we hadn’t yet acquired. We were generalists on a straight

Remember That Brand? Well It’s Back! One would have to travel to the back woods of the Appalachians or perhaps to the cave dwellings in the Southwestern canyons to find anyone who has not heard of Viagra. Viagra, the market-leader of male erectile dysfunction prescription drugs, continues to occupy valuable space in the mind of the male consumer. What is so enchanting about an erectile dysfunction pill? How does Viagra have such appeal when it is the focus of late night comedy and radio morning shows? As consumers we seldom question a successful product. (Or maybe we just would rather not have to address or explain male erectile disorder more than we have to).The consumer is exposed to a pill with a split personality. Viagra lives a double life: one of in-your-face comedy and one of universal solution. Despite the advertising that continually tests our comfort elasticity, Viagra’s brand works harder than any other “miracle drug” to be accepted by the tempestuously self-conscious male population. Viagra’s branding adheres and accommodates to the male population as a whole, not only to males with sexual difficulties. Viagra evaluates precepts re

Do you have an idea or vision for the future? Does your idea fire you up and excite you? I am not talking about an ordinary level of excitement, I am talking about burning passion to see your idea turn into reality. Do you believe in your idea? More importantly, do you believe in yourself? I am talking about serious faith in your idea and your ability to turn it into reality. If you don’t, you probably won’t.Someone once said: “If you can think it, you can achieve it” I would add to that statement: “If you believe it”… and the most important “it” is you. Ideas are a dime a dozen but you are one of a kind and if you don’t believe in your abilities to get the job done, how will you ever achieve the level of success you dream of? Notice that I didn’t say “deserve”… nobody deserves success. While some fortunate people may inherit wealth, the vast majority of people earn the exact level of success they deserve. It’s the old wood stove concept: Put in a little wood, get a little heat. Put in a lot of
