From the Desk of Bob
I am excited to share that sales of my new book are increasing everyday. Not one person has asked for their money back yet! YEAH!
Actually, I think my new book, Home Grown: Seeds of Success, is pretty good, being ever so humble. A lot of years of sweat and blood paid off big time last week when one of our Prairie Beacon subscribers, an 83 year old woman from California, called to order three books-a couple to give as gifts and keep one for herself. She had seen our announcement about the book and called right way. You cannot imagine how she made my day! I was just outright blessed and humbled at the same time.
Note: You, too, can order your very own copy of Home Grown in either a soft cover printed version or an e-book, right here at my online storefront.
A good friend last week encouraged me to send in my new book to Oprah wrapped in a box of "warm fuzzies" and I am going to do that very thing this week. Look out world here I come!
Let me encourage you to tap into your creative potential. This is how I have made a living for over 25 years. In the weeks ahead I will share with you the key concepts, tools, resources, ideas and solutions that I have applied in my life to not only survive, but over the long-haul, thrive.
Thank you my friends who read, so faithfully, the words on these pages each week. You are my inspiration and my motivation!
To your success! Bob

Seeds of Success: Fresh & New Ideas
By Robert A. Prentice
Count yourself very fortunate if you have a good job, a warm safe place to live, and food on the table. There is so much turmoil in our world today and people I talk with each week are getting more and more nervous and concerned.
We cannot allow all this negativity to pull us into the muck even further! This will only destroy our motivations and cause even more distress in our lives.
What should we do in the more positive and forward thinking mind set? Well, how about investing some time generating fresh and new ideas! Actually, this is a "must" for every facet of our lives.
Here are some of the things for which I regularly need fresh and new ideas:
* "Seeds of Success" articles for MMM and Prairie Beacon
* My "From the Desk of Bob" columns for MMM and PB
* Saving money and creating more money
* Selling products and services
* Solutions for my clients
* Parenting our children
* Improving our home, office and properties
* Resolving everyday challenges
While we are actively tapping into our resources to accomplish our goals and objectives and working diligently, new ideas generally start to flow from our minds and if you capture those ideas, write them down, and develop some plans and strategies around them, things begin to happen. Wonderfully powerful things begin to take shape and impact your life in a positive way. Taking action on some of these ideas is the catalyst for change and the dynamic results flow like a river! Remember, if you are doing nothing, nothing happens. So take action now!
Honestly, I believe we all will need to be thinking and behaving in a more creative manner on a daily basis; this may actually become a requirement in the weeks and months ahead in each of our lives.
Tap into your God-given creative potential today for fresh and new ideas that may impact you for years to come!
