High Point Creative - The right words for your next project

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life ... have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Steve Jobs

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That's what little girls are made of.

Bethany Hamilton

Winter 2015

In the words of John Lennon, it's nearly another year over and a new one just begun. Before we start remembering to write "16" instead of "15," we end the year reflecting on all we have created [PDF] and all the people like you who make it so enjoyable.

We are also thinking about those who have struggled this year. To help them start the new year stronger and in honor of our relationship with you, we have made a donation to the following organizations that are close to our hearts.

Children's Hospitals and Clinics offers clinical programs specifically designed to treat and support kids
White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation's Angel Fund gives students and families funds to cover expenses like winter coats, school supplies, food and even temporary housing
YMCA Camp Widjiwagan helps young people build leadership skills, gain confidence and explore extraordinary places through wilderness travel and environmental learning experiences
Jeremiah Program provides one of the nation's most successful strategies for transforming families from poverty to prosperity two generations at a time
Friends of the Ramsey County Library strengthens, supports and advocates for the library system to promote literacy and foster community

Here's to a wonderful holiday ahead for you and yours. Thank you for being in our lives.

If you slept through Black Friday in a tryptophan haze and somehow hit the snooze all the way through Cyber Monday, fear not, there are still deals to be had for the holidays. We like the coupon site and app RetailMeNot for easy savings on tons of big-name brands.

Prefer to stop thinking about the mall and start focusing on the heart? The heart chakra is said to be a powerful energy point, and using it as the focus for quiet contemplation can help nurture acceptance, love and compassion.

Here's one place to start, with a simple guided meditation.

Word Wise

What Will Tomorrow Hold?

It's fun to see all the predictions that pop up this time of year to guide us into the future.

Some are silly. But some point to trends and technology that will likely become business as usual in 2016 and beyond. Here's one more. (We like #9 in particular!)

Compelling Messaging for Customers and Investors

One of the projects we've taken especially to heart this year has been helping Minnetronix hone its messaging to prospective customers as well as potential investors. That up-front investment in strategic messaging work has enabled them to efficiently update their communication tools, including launching their new website just in time for the company's 20th anniversary in January.

Making Your RFP Response Stand Out
December is a busy time for our clients. Many are rushing to finish projects before the end of the year. Some are trying to squeeze in just one more deal by responding to a request for proposal (RFP). If you happen to be one of those people, here are some tips [PDF] to help as you gather that RFP content and put it all together in a smart, compelling package.
