Embrace Soft Skills

       You are the model for the behavior of your workforce, and their attitude is a barometer for your business.

       Your attitude will be reflected in the attitude and enthusiasm of your employees. You will know if you are grouchy or lazy by looking at the attitude of your employees or other people around you. If you are creative and adaptable t

hey will be, too, making them more valuable to your business.

       Embrace soft skills like patience, kindness, support, and adaptability in yourself and your employees.  Soft skills are the collection of attitudes, habits, and actions that guide us in how to live our lives vs. hard skills which come from the training we need to get the job done.  You do need both in equal amounts to become successful.

       If you embrace flexibility and an open mind great thoughts will come to you; if you are stern and standoffish they probably won't.  If you treat your staff the same way they are likely to become creative and more productive, too.  Being adaptable and taking advantage of new ideas may lead you in new directions that hadn't even crossed your mind and open a whole new world of opportunities.

   Consider a new idea every day and adapt the ones that may show some potential. A new twist on an old system may be the key to unimaginable success.

Looking forward to meeting new people and having new experiences! "Life is a vapor and it's fading fast. Like the morning paper, it ain't gonna last. Flowers will wither like the morning grass, so savor it while it lasts. The future will soon be the past. So live each day as though it may be your last." --
Stan C. Countz, lyricist, Life is a Vapor.

Your Money - Your Life

       You can save a great deal of money on your medical expenses by having your Doctor write new prescriptions for you for generic equivalents. 

        The patents have expired on a lot of common medications so they can now be formulated by other companies.  The decrease in cost often reflects the R&D efforts that have already been paid by the first manufacturer.  Your Doctor will know if a generic medicine will work for you as well as the brand name version and can give you new prescriptions that will make a big difference in your medical costs.
