Success Tip – An Ice Cream Success Story

Saturday, January 30th, 2010


An ice cream success story.

Recently, I devoured a pint of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.

Actually there is nothing unusual in that. I love ice cream, especially Ben and Jerry’s. My daughter, Robin, used to taste their many varieties of ice cream before they hit the open market. She lives close to their factory in Waterbury, Vermont. I still enjoy taking the tour although Ben and Jerry are no longer there. Their beginning and their follow through is a true success story.

I think that most ice cream, and all of their ice cream is delicious. Ben and Jerry’s is made with natural ingredients. The local family farmers who supply the milk and cream do not use hormones. The chocolate chip cookie dough, my favorite, took them 5 years to perfect. They add gobs of dough. This is a necessary indulgence.

Success-Tip on Opportunities

Thursday, January 28th, 2010




Life seems to be filled with difficult situations. I always say that I like to turn them into opportunities. Recently, I saw this quote by Donald Trump and it had a great connection.



“Opportunities are never lost, just found by those who clearly see the power of trends and timing.” Donald Trump

Success Tip – Planning

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010


In business, there are many reasons for success.

Our team believes that success is about planning. All of the dreams, ideas and good work habits are necessary companions in the quest for success.

However, in a business of your own, all of the pieces have to fit together. Solid planning is the key.
