Pup of the Week | 
| |
Do you love dachshunds? They are a special breed, with fabulous personalities, and Rocky is no exception. He is pure bred and is beautiful. He is house trained, and doesn't mind being around other small dogs. He is less comfortable with larger dogs and feels the need to dominate them.
Learn more about Rocky by giving us a call at 310-860-0171 or sending us an email or visiting Bill Foundation.

Most of us aren't thinking about spring, but it pays to be a planner.

You can find 'Drummond's Pink' and lots of other great plants on our

Follow The Mouse
 Like most business owners, I receive several publications about marketing and business, both in print and via email. One that I find particularly relevant is a blog written by Steve Miller called Two Hat Marketing, which arrives conveniently in my inbox.
Right now, Steve is writing a series called The Old Rules of Business That Still Matter. I recently received the third installment and have been enjoying the whole series so much I asked Steve if I could share it with you.
In the most recent installment, Steve examines the importance of first impressions and consistent follow through, drawing on a memorable experience he had on his first visit to Disneyworld when he was a college student. Please check out this brief but informative article and take clues from the old master, Walt Disney. Examine Disney's focus on controlling the customers' first impression, which he felt was so vital to buying decisions. And then see details he employed to ensure that everything the customer saw and experienced, unfailingly reflected the brand.
Some concepts are timeless and will remain valuable in the world of business regardless of what wonders tech companies throw our way. Steve has invited his readers to submit their ideas for old rules that are still relevant and has asked me to invite you to browse around his blog. |
