Businesses and individuals come on and share with the listening audience how they deal with these barriers and turn them into opportunities. We want to highlight companies who are creating 'best practices'. Also, businesses who have learned to be more lean, and more profitable can share their outcomes with others in the business community."
Raskin and Adams both agree they have the right chemistry and mutual respect for each other, as well as mixing in some humor, to make this show a tremendous success.

Prophet Share - Seasoned Professionals Sharing Trade Secrets
|
Prophet Share, Inc., formerly known as the RI Small Business Recovery Program, has emerged as an excellent example of what has become internationally known as "a sharing community". In simple terms, "a sharing community" removes duplication that doesn't add value and concentrates on things that do add value. Through participation in Prophet Share, talented business owners and trainers (prophets) no longer have to individually own projection, video and recording equipment. Nor do they have to rent expensive classroom or hotel space in order to share their talent and experience with their peers. As the result of this "penny-pinching" sharing approach, Profit Share, Inc. will be able to bring high-quality business training to the Rhode Island entrepreneurial community on a meager budget of less than $25,000 annually. In the past thirty two months, the Recovery Program provided peer-to-peer training to over 7,000 business owners and entrepreneurs. With the collaborative efforts of experienced business leaders and teachers, Prophet Share, Inc. is expected to greatly add to that number.
To register for any of the free seminars below, please go to www.prophetshareri.com/events. Any questions, please call Dave Nash at 401-447-8000. All events will be held at the Centerville Seminar Center, 875 Centerville Rd, Warwick, RI - Building 2, Suite 5.

The Power of TrustWhen it is all said and done, when you have done your work, done it well and "tilled the soil", there is one thing left to do. That is to trust that what you have done will bear fruit. Trust is an inner knowing and a "focused surrender" that things will work out.
Martin Luther King Jr.wrote "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase" and Ramona C. Carroll wrote,"Faith is putting all your eggs in God's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch."
There are steps to take to take in the faith and trust process. First you must take the right steps to your path of success. You must have a vision and a purpose and use the skills, disciplines, strategies and techniques, and not just a few times. This is a continual daily process of "planting the seeds" and setting the impressions in your mind.
If you waiver with doubts, you weaken the link and path to a successful outcome. You may have to take additional steps if you feel there is more to do to insure success. But trust is an internal process based on faith, strength, intuition, passion and a true knowing that what you are doing is right and will have the highest and best result.
Results are all around us. Every successful step you take along the way to you goal is a proof that what you are doing is working. This builds trust in yourself and in the process. And when you take a step that does not work, you can re-evaluate and listen to your intuition to take a different step.
Everything that we do is a learning process. When you can trust and have faith, something greater happens. The worry, fear and panic diminishes and you can enjoy the process and our lives more fully.
Sincerely,
Patricia
