Moving forward:
That's my theme for today and the near future. There are very few people who are insulated from today's economic issues. We are all feeling it where it hurts. However, the energy required to assess blame, find fault, create hurdles and spread constant doom and gloom drains even the strongest person and organization.
Join me if you are ready to stop the slide, dig in and gain a strong foothold. All I ask is a change of attitude. You have seen it in action: if you expect the worst, a continued downward spiral, partisan fighting and crisis, that is exactly what you will get. On the other hand, if you teach yourself to expect something positive, a healthier bottom line, a balanced economy, differing sides that can actually work together toward a common goal, then you will open the door to those positive changes and positive results.
Let us turn the tide together. I'm here to help you become as successful as you can be. How can you help others as well? What can you do to help your clients? We have our own Economic Stimulus Package: no fees for upcoming teleconferences through March 31. We know that the more you know, the better chance you have of being successful. What can you do as your own economic stimulus for your customers? Your employees? Every little and large idea will help.
Send me your ideas. Tell me what you are doing to stimulate your and your customer's economy. Start small or start big-just start!
I will help you get the word out and we can jump on the bus that is moving ahead and leave all the others behind-which is right where they want to be.
Here's to our success!

Still wondering if it's worth the hassle to obtain a federal security clearance?
The Corridor Inc magazine states:
"BRAC-affected agencies and contractors have already initiated recruiting efforts to find workers in Maryland and they're willing to pay a premium for individuals with security clearances.
For example, a 26-year-old electrical engineer with three years experience and a security clearance can get "a $25,000 salary bump" over a comparable engineer without a clearance, said retired Brigadier General Mike Hayes, director of DBED's Office of Military and Federal Affairs."
To find out more about Security Clearances for yourself and you company, sign up today to attend the Security Clearance Seminar at The Center for Business and Technology in Howard County.
