The Power of Optimism
Optimistic people fare better in interviews all other things being equal. That is the simple truth. Most people like people who have optimism, so long as it isn’t exaggerated and overblown simply for effect. Optimism and smiles tend to go together. (See our recent entry http://wfastaffing.com/smile/ ) So there is a double-whammy in the package of…
Read MoreReflections on 70….
My 70th birthday was one of the most interesting and enjoyable birthdays of my life! Reflecting back on my years of life it was hard to comprehend how quickly time passes by and suddenly you are 70 even though you feel like 50! At first I was not happy about the event but as the…
Read MoreCongratulations to this year’s Future 50 class!
The MMAC’s Council of Small Business Executives (COSBE) has just made its decision about those companies that are on this year’s Future 50 list.

Read MoreYou Don’t Need a “YES” Man
This quote from a famous ‘name’ jumped out at me and provoked some serious thought: When two men in business always agree, one of them is unnecessary. ~ William Wrigley Jr. What struck me was the opposite of what the quotation was telling us. If we never have competing opinions in our businesses would we…
Read MoreExperience VS Pay
Experience VS Pay We find the following quotation to be a truism in our business for it is the experience gained that hones the skills that lead to a better income for virtually all of us: In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience.
