When we give of ourselves, whether it be time, service to others, or money, it is a win-win situation. We are able to help someone and have a blessing of joy at the same time.

When you prepare for a new year coming up, think of ways you can give to others. If you learn something new that helps you and your business, share it with someone else.

Watch, listen, and learn. Be open to all opportunities-- some may even be right in front of you. Think positive about everything, even the challenges that seem to be hurdles.

Think: "What can I do different or better to create a more positive outcome?"

Let's make 2009 the best year ever!

We are excited and thrilled to have Paul Salos as an exhibitor at the January 2009 Dallas Bridal Show. Not only will Paul meet brides and his fans, he will also be performing for the Dallas Bridal Show vendors at our Vendor Appreciation Night on January 24th! Read on to learn about Paul and his experience with the hit TV show, "America's Got Talent."

America voted Paul Salos as the best Sinatra in the USA on NBC's America's Got Talent. His natural vocal impression of Frank Sinatra won the judges and the hearts of America.
