Foster Your Greatness
David Foster is considered the No.1 music producer in the country, if not the world. He's worked with every imaginable star in the business. Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Andrea Bocelli & Michael Buble are just a handful of names.
So what are the Hit King's secrets of success?
Use your gifts & do what you love.
"Having perfect pitch is not a key to success, but it is an indicator that you maybe should be doing music. Fortunately, I loved it so much it's all I wanted to do." What do you love? Incorporate your passion into your work, not only will the day be way more fun, but you will more than likely be more successful in the long run.
Don't settle for good. Go for greatness.
"It's so easy to be good. I can be good anyday of the week." Strive instead to do or be the best in whatever you do. If you sell shoes, be the best shoe salesperson in the country. If you are a receptionist, make sure that your voice shines through the phone. Anyone can be good, but those who strive to be great are the most successful.
Keep at it. "in my cockiness, I thought I was going to come right out of the gate with a hit record. I produced three or four albums and they all stiffed. As a studio musician, I went from six figures a year to $ 5,000 total in my first year of producing." But Foster kept at it, focusing on the work and applying what he learned in one project to the next. "I did what I had to do: I believed in myself almost to a point of madness." Believe in yourself. Keep working at achieving your dream. Don't give up!

Nine Twitter Tips for Business
Twitter is so red-hot right now that it's united Shaq and Oprah. It's also so good at attracting buzzwords that I can't decide to call it microblogging service or a social-networking web site. But it doesn't really matter what you call it, or whether you prefer to follow Ashton Kutcher or Britney Spears. What matters is that users are taking to Twitter in massive numbers. And your business should be there too.
Does this mean that plumbers need to start posting messages about what they had for breakfast in order to drum up sink repair business from desperate Internet hipsters? No, but you can and should use Twitter to connect with your customers, clients, and fans in a way that you couldn't do before. For 9 tips on how to use Twitter effectively -- and a few cautions, as well - click here

We Love to Have FUN!
Feller & Friends enjoyed our last event of the summer with the Buckinghams.
We were joined by customers who demo'd Fellowes Personal Shredders, and enjoyed FREE samples from Fellowes, Pilot, Avery & more.
The highlight of the evening was the concert in the park by the Buckinghams singing their Top 10 Smashes, "Hey Baby, They're Playing our Song", "Susan", "Kind of A Drag", & more.
If you weren't able to join us for our Music in the Park events this summer, mark your calendar (pencil us in) for our Stride for a Cure with the American Cancer Society on October 18th!

Paper-less Clip August 09 |
| Greetings!
WOW! Last month I said "Summer is finally here!" Now we're about to send the kids back to school. The patio furniture and charcoal grills are being replaced by yellow #2 pencils, notebook paper and StarWars backpacks. Where does the time go?
We attended our National meetings and are excited to share with you all of the new products coming out. There are new Sharpie Pens, Pilot Frixion Eraseable Pens, New Pop-up Tape from Scotch, new Sure-hook Pendaflex hanging folders and much, much, more! Look for samples coming your way soon!
Feller Business Solutions is blessed to be able to help this month with 2 charity golf outings: The Aunt Martha"s Golf Fundraiser and the Danny Krell Golf Fundraiser. Thank you to all our manufacturers who supported us in these causes with donations for their silent auctions. A few of our employees are also working a booth at the CRC Childrens Carnival mid August - just a few of the ways we try to make a difference!
Enjoy the end of summer! |

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION
Make it more cost-effective and energy efficient
AS IDENTITY THEFT GROWS, COMPANIES EXPOSE THEMSELVES TO
RISING COSTS. When a breach occurs, fines can range between $1,000 and $7,500 per record. In response, more companies are bringing their document security needs in-house to limit their exposure and maintain control.
The HSM shredder line, which is German engineered and manufactured, saves both money and energy and makes protecting private information easier than ever.
HSM shredders offer sustainable benefits over the use of third-party shredding services and can lower your customers' costs by 20 to 40 percent in the first year.
To help keep documents safe from security breaches, HSM has introduced a totally new look for today's shredders. The state-of-the-art Securio shredders feature EMCS (energy management and control system), which reduces power consumption by 90 percent compared to standard standby switches found on other shredders.
HSM shredders are built to last with solid-steel cutting heads, continuous duty motors, and sheet capacities from 5 to 650 sheets. Both strip-cut and cross-cut models shred paper as well as credit cards and CDs.

A Little Help from Friends
Stressed out? Burned out? Just need to have some fun? PINK conference data shows the No. 1 way women manage work-related stress is time with the girls - you know, the ones who make you laugh, let you vent, encourage you to reach for your goals and volunteer to share that tub of Ben & Jerry's. National Friendship Day was August 3rd, so now is the perfect time to pick up the phone and call your (hopefully not too long-lost) girlfriends and plan a night (or, better, a weekend) of wine, laughter, encouragement and talking ... much talking.
"Genuine girlfriends support one another and provide a safe haven for sharing concerns and insecurities," says Melanie McMillan Schild, executive director of Kappa Delta, a national sorority with more than 200,000 members worldwide. "They provide an outlet for laughter, fun and relaxation. They soothe our spirits, boost our confidence and energize our attitudes." |
