I’ve been wanting to write this entry for awhile and after our new order that came in last week I finally got around to thinking about it and actually writing it. What I find awesome about the company we contract with, Amway Global, is the fact they have a high standard for the impact they [...]

On the way down to Spring Leadership this year we watched the movie The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith and his son. Will portrays Chris Gardner’s nearly one-year struggle with homelessness.

Next weekend is a major function called Spring Leadership. Think of it as a conference that your work would send you on for some Microsoft Conference or some Oil and Gas conference. A conference that usually would usually cost around $3000-$4000 and really get you nothing but some information on some products you may or [...]
