Great advice. Simple, but very few companies do this well.

Great article! This is a great company tucked away in the hills of West Virginia. He works hard to take care of his customers and his employees. His innovative thinking and engineering background has created solutions that help his community. They are a fine example of a company on the move.

Great article. I know first hand how serious these situations can be, my son was buried in a cave-in. Thankfully he was o.k., just minor cuts and scrapes. Our company also has OSHA regulations on an easy to use CD-ROM updated with the latest changes.

Thank you for this article!  It’s great to hear success stories of hard-working families.  I was equally glad to hear a story about people in the pumping industry working with the fracking industry.  This is a major boom for the US right now! 

I love to hear that taking care of customers for long-term relationships is more important that a short-term gain.  Great job to Savage,  I wish them the very best for the future growth of their company! 

Nice article!

Hi Jim -

Thanks for writing this piece and giving some background on the businessman.  I know this happens all the time and I’m glad to see you pushed back.  There is a lot of great content that has considerable value. Just taking it is essentially stealing from that value - which someone else created. 

I doubt that businessman was trying to be malicious.  However, there is a whole other world of malicious plagiarism, content theft, and data mining.  I was just talking with someone recently who was trying to quantify the total damage caused to businesses that manage content , classifieds, or even user data.  We’ll see what she comes back with.

Perhaps you can write a piece about the ways businesses or individuals can addresses this issue when they’re the victim.  Like the DMCA, Captcha, etc…

In addition to the section on “Staying in moment”, it cannot be overlooked that the human mind is a powerful tool for fulfilling our desires. It is said, “What you put your attention on, grows.”

If we focus on the failure, rather than the lessons learned and the valiant attempt made, then it will likely grow in our experience, further reinforcing the negative thinking, as if it were justified. Instead, it is the “doom and gloom” that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Some people are very prophetic in that regard.

Better to put the attention where you would like to be and consistently put forward the efforts in that direction. Somehow, some way, that positive persistence draws support, ultimately, from those around us. Success breeds success, and most other people want to see us succeed. Only by moving in that direction will we get where we want to go.

Spend your efforts where they will add to your success, but most importantly, put your attention and mind-set on the goal. It can only grow closer with the greater focus.
