Issue #23 Smile Dammit!

December 19, 2008

Welcome back, I don't want to make this entry on MSM focus on the world financial crisis. Lets give it a rest for a week or so and end the week with a smile.
I noticed last week that someone from Harvard University Medical School signed onto my website. I was very impressed with myself until I realized that they were probably searching for “mood swings”.
Who Knew Mood Swing Had Another Meaning?
I guess now I will have to rethink some of my re-branding ideas for a few of my new clients.
For example there is:
Buy-Polar – An ice delivery company
De Pressin – a dry cleaning company in Quebec
ADHD – An advertising production company for television
Anne Garr Management - (She is not going to happy)
I guess that I am back to the drawing board.
Lessons Not Quite Learned.
I noticed on the news a few days ago that one of my faithful readers didn’t quite grasp the meaning of Issue #21 The Truth About Negotiation…I contend that "our ability to successfully negotiate is contained in a good pair of shoes". He may have understood the concept but his delivery was poor.


Please people, the information presented here is powerful. Please read the articles completely.

I would like to leave you with a few words of observation and encouragement from two very wise men.
Robert Heller (one of Britain's most renowned authors on business management) says: "Now that we can all see the disastrous effects of The Cult of Shareholder Value and The Cult of the Chief Executive, let's hope that a new movement - the Cult of Collaboration – can come to our rescue".
Thomas A. Edison: "Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. (We) have always emerged from these times stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!"
Thank you. The Moodswing Minute is now being read by over 1000 business people, broadcasters and marketers from Newfoundland to Victoria BC. Each week the number of readers is the US is growing coast to coast. I appreciate the number of emails of support and encouragment that I have received over 2008. I hope that you will continue to enjoy reading it as I enjoy writing it. Please feel free to pass it on.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones the very best of the holiday season.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah.
Stay in a festive mood.
