From the Desk of Bob

Greetings!

I am just back from the most incredible trip to Las Vegas, the third time this year by the way. Mostly all business. Some sun and fun of course too. Sure was hot! Met some of the most incredible people in the conference and expo. I met hundreds of folks serious about business and making their lives even more profitable and successful. They were eager to learn and build their lives and businesses for the better.

It is also so good to be back in South Dakota with all my friends and family. Vegas is always a nice place to visit but there is no place like home.

Have a profitable week. If I can help you in anyway, please call me. I am at your service.

To your continued success! Bob

Life Attitudes

Napoleon Hill: "It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed."

George Sheehan: "Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be."

Albert Einstein: "Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value."

Coco Chanel: "How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but to be someone."

Seeds of Success: What is Success?

By Robert A. Prentice

Some people refer to success as having full checking and savings accounts and a great retirement plan. Some people believe success is judged by how fast and fancy one's boat or pick up is, or how big their house is. Some people think that success is having the latest and greatest computer and accessories. Some people hope to find success by earning a college degree or some other prestigious award, or by getting a promotion at work. Some people see success as having power and the ability to do whatever they want to do. Some people feel that success is picking yourself up when you have been knocked down or being able to prove to others that you are somebody. Of course the list could go on and on, but the truth is, a lot of people are just plain confused about what success really is and how you achieve it.

While we have tried to find success in these things, we ultimately discover that success cannot be measured by things at all. Success, my friends, can only be measured in our relationships with others. What kind of relationship do you have with your parents? How about the relationship you have with your children? Can you tell me are you building healthy and positive relationships with others on a daily basis in your life with your neighbors and co-workers?

When you are about to take your final breath on this earth, I cannot imagine you will want to be surrounded by all your toys. I know I don't! We will want to be surrounded by all those that love us as we have loved them. This is true success. Striving to find success in anything else is as false and temporary as a mirage. I want my life measured, not by my checking account or the accumulation of things, but by a different kind of wealth. Precious friends and family are more valuable to me than all the gold and jewels in the world. When a person finally understands this, then and only then, have they found the true meaning of success!

On the Sunny Side of Life: SOMEBODY WASN'T LISTENING IN SCIENCE CLASS!

Q: Name the four seasons.
A: Salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar.

Q: Explain one of the processes by which water can be made safe to drink.
A: Flirtation makes water safe to drink because it removes large pollutants like grit, sand, dead sheep and canoeists.

Q: How is dew formed?
A: Certain areas of the dessert are cultivated by irritation. Then the sun shines down on the leaves and makes them perspire.

Q: What is a planet?
A: A body of earth surrounded by sky.

Q: What causes the tides in the oceans?
A: The tides are a fight between the Earth and the Moon. All water tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in the fight.
