Soul Searching..My Daughter's Heart

There is a lot going on in the world around us lately with the earthquake and Tsunami that devastated Japan. The moon was the closest to the earth that it had been in some 18 years last night if you had a chance to step outside and take a look. I've always thought the moon was the one thing that kept all of us a little closer on this big earth we share. No matter where we are, it's the one thing that always remains the same for all of us and that brings us all a little closer. I guess we were all just a little closer last night. Some say the moon being closer was a possible cause for erratic weather phenomenon or changes in the techtonic plates in Japan that caused the Tsunami. I'm not a scientist, so I cannot answer that question but it made me think or shall I say it made me do a little soul searching.

The most important of life's battles are the ones we fight daily in the chambers of the soul. I think that is so very true.

The innermost workings of my daughter's heart always pulls life into a little clearer perspective for me. The trueness of her spirit and her love are so genunine. Sometimes, we listen so hard for God's guidance in our world of troubles that we don't hear the messages in front of us. Here's what she says:

My heart makes me think of love.
Love makes me think of God
God reminds me of Jesus
Heaven makes me think of angels
Angels bring us love
Love is important
God Loves us
God loves everyone
God is the love in my heart

Trust and Your Supplier in the Industry

In today's economy, working with a supplier you trust is not only neccessary, it is mandatory. The relationships we nuture in business, particularly those where we work with a multitude of distributors is based on trust.

We're not going to be effective if our distributors aren't happy with our products and services. We need to focus on being a part of their solution and not part of the problem.

Secondly, we must foster trust between our products and their business relationships. At all times, we respect our distributor relationships and need to convey our vision of providing products and services that enhance their own individual relationships with business partners. In this way, we become a "building block" to success.

Keeping our business partners/clients informed of new techology and allowing them to get to know us on a personal basis allows us to build relationships based on trust, information and a need to "strive to thrive" for both of us. Mutually benefical relationships are necessary in this tough economy to survive.

One thing I have realized in manufacturing, is that if we wish to thrive, then we must extend this enthusiasm and trust to our customers as well. Linking hands with our suppliers to be successful in the marketplace is one way we can all get ahead. To take a quote from Gulf Crane that I particularly like: "We're all in this together."
