1975

Today I Will be rambling on about my parents. Why...b/c its their 33rd wedding Anniversary. And I'm very proud to see them make it this far. Not like they were on a rocky road by any means, but in today's society its beginning to be common place for people to break-up over anything at any point of their relationship period. I look in today news with Madonna and a-rod, to marriages around my local neighborhood. The very core of marriage and relationship has changed direction, but that's a whole not her blog posting ...LOL. OK back to my parents Bishop T.C and DR.P Cummings today is their day. I can remember watching them growing up and how my father treated my mother. The leadership,firmness, gentleness, the all of the above. I knew as a young fellow that this was the way treat a woman . My mother showed me how a wife should honor her husband , but be her own woman also. She would always tell me come talk to me so you will know how to talk to women. And for all of the women out there who said I missed the mark when came to you probably deserved it. Just kidding my mother put countless time into us. And my father was there every step of the way to make sure we had everything we needed.
In total I can say I wacthed 1st hand a top notch marriage . So I have no excuses when comes to saying I didn't ever get that. My wife will be able to see it in the love that I give her. On today I want to say HAPPY 33RD to my Lovely, blessed, and high energy parents Bishop T.C. and DR.P Cummings.

Love you much Daddy and Mama

Wanted...Marketing lesson 101

I always love to mix my loves together. Today it will be movies and marketing. I had the pleasure of going to see" wanted" with Angelina Jolie. And in the movie I saw something that i thought was a great lesson.
In the movie the guy who played the lead role. Had what i thought was a crappy job, and troubled relationship, and a all around messed up life. Well things started to change for the young man and he began on a journey to where he wanted to be. He went from a zero to a hero . Took control of his life and found out about himself. I'm trying not to give away to much here. For fear some of yous guy's might have check this one out. OK back to where i was going. He started putting himself out there and taking action. After he went Thur some trails and passed on. He made a statement right at the end of the movie. That stuck with me ''What have you done in your life"
It really made me think hum....what have I done to make things happen? Each and every week I deal with small business owners who one reason or not never seem to take action on their marketing effort. Which leaves them at zero. When the lead just sat back on the side lines nothing and i mean nothing happened for here. The sad part he had all the potential in the world to be awesome. Just like you...if your not taking action on your ads, emails, or anything else that would get you one step closer to your goals in business or sales quotes. Then by all means don't waste time get out their make something happen. If its just one email or mail out. Then you have created action to put yourself in better position to make a sale. Or gain a customer.
The next time you see yourself sitting around . Ask yourself " what have i done in my marketing today". Don't let a day pass with out marketing yourself or your business.

Be Blessed
