From the Desk of Bob

Great News! I just pulled off 45 pounds of body fat over the last 90 days. I am feeling great. I have another 100 pounds to go. I want another 50 pounds off by Christmas. I will keep you posted.

Let me know if you have any connections with associations or groups who need a keynote speaker for a conference. I love doing these kinds of meetings. I have done hundreds of keynotes over the years. They are always an incredible experience.

We are celebrating 25 years of operating a business here in South Dakota. I am just so stunned by the huge number of years. Where did the time go? I sure want to keep operating for another 25 years.

We had a great time in Redfield, South Dakota last week working with the employees of the South Dakota Developmental Center.

I am also still doing a lot of one on one consulting with persons who want to improve their business. Let me know if you want to do some creative thinking with me.

Cheers, Bob

Attitudes to Live By

"When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it." –W. Clement Stone

"Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas." –Henry Ford

"I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work." –Harry S. Truman

Seeds of Success: Live with Enthusiasm

By Robert A. Prentice

Approaching life with a spark of enthusiasm is one of the most natural things I do. Please, allow me to explain. Most people get out of bed in the morning and exclaim, with a grumble, "Oh, I have to go to WORK today..." I decided years ago I was going to treat each new day as a blessing. That is when I also decided to approach each new day as if I was going to FUN and to really enjoy each new day with a spark of joy, a belief that I would overcome each challenge and obstacle with a positive attitude, and find a creative way to take the negatives and turn them into positives.

Whenever I have a project to complete that is not all that enjoyable, I simply take action on the project instead of putting it off. Take ACTION and you will become more enthusiastic, and in the process, you find that you can accomplish so much more!

Living life with an enthusiastic smile, and sharing this joy and happiness with others is like giving a gift away. It makes you feel really good. Positive people attract more positive experiences to their lives. This is the real benefit of the decision to live life with enthusiasm. You can change yourself; you can even change others; you can have a positive impact on your family, your community, and your world. The rewards of living enthusiastically are incredible!

In closing, let me share one of my favorite quotes. Conrad Hilton of the Hilton Hotels once said:
"Enthusiasm is the little recognized secret of success."

On the Sunny Side of Life

The math teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention in class. She called on him and said, "Johnny! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?"

Little Johnny quickly replied, "NBC, CBS, HBO and the Cartoon Network!"

*****
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!".
