It is often said, “It’s not what you know; it’s who you know.” When defining your personal and professional success it is critical that you focus on who you know!

Are you surrounding yourself with winners?

Are you surrounding yourself with people who can help you achieve your goals?

Are you developing relationships that align with your purpose and passion?

Are you connecting with people who understand what is necessary to be successful and are able to support your success?

Do the right people know who you are, what your business provides, and the value you can bring to a customer?

Success is defined by your purpose, your action, and your attitude; however your success can and will be limited by the relationships that you create and maintain both personally and professionally.
Here is a great story that reinforces this concept:

Swen Nater an orphan from Holland moved to the United States when he was three years old. He grew up in an American home and as a high school junior; he stood 6′ 11″. One would think Swen Nater was destined for basketball, but he was so gangly and awkward that he didn’t make his high school team until his senior year. Instead of going to college after graduation, like some of his teammates, he went to work at a garage as a mechanic.

However, when a local community college coach convinced the towering mechanic to give basketball another shot several years later, his body had matured. Over the next two years Swen became one of the best junior-college basketball players in the country. He was honored with Community College All American his sophomore year. With two years of eligibility left, several smaller colleges became interested in Swen and each offered him an opportunity to shine.

But his coach decided to take a shot at a higher opportunity. He called John Wooden whose current UCLA team was in the midst of one of the greatest dynasties in all of sports. He said “Coach, next year you have a guy coming in that everybody in America believes will be the greatest player to ever play college basketball: Bill Walton who towered at 7′ tall. The next biggest guy you have on your team is 6′ 9″ inches tall. In practice, Bill Walton is not going to get better because he’s not going to have any competition so give my guy a chance.”

There is no better time than now to jump on the recycling bandwagon. With global warming becoming a serious threat to our planet, it is important that we all contribute to the sustainability of our earth. Recycling can be a bit confusing at first but after doing some research, it is easy to make such a big difference. According to various sources, statistically the United States recycles just about 28% of its waste today, which is doubled from what it was a decade ago. If we all have this information, we all can make a huge difference. Take a minute to read this article and test your eco-friendly knowledge, maybe you will learn something you did not know!

Promotional items like custom trading pins can be greatly helpful in creating awareness about recycling.

What is recycling?

Recycling is taking old materials and processing them to make new products. Doing this reduces the waste of potentially useful products and reduces water and air pollution. Before recyclable materials are recycled, they need to be separated into the type of material they are made of and whether or not they can be recycled.

What can be recycled?

The basic materials that can be recycled include paper products, plastics, metals and glass. These products can be broken down and processed to make new products. Therefore, paper can be recycled to produce recycled paper or plastic containers can be processed to become Frisbees!

How do I know if it can be recycled?

There is an international symbol that lets people know if the materials/products they have can be recycled. Most people are familiar with the triangle of arrows symbol. This symbol denotes that the product can be recycled. This makes it easier for consumers to recycle their old products. Some products do provide additional information. Virtually everything made of plastic should be marked with a recycling code. Not all types can actually be recycled. Types 1 and 2 are widely accepted in container form, and type 4 is sometimes accepted in bag form. Glass, steel (or “tin”) and aluminum are easy to recognize and recycle. Most types of paper can be recycled from office paper to phonebooks, and corrugated cardboard to waxed cartons.

The real truth of the mater is that people really don’t “need” automatic pool cleaners. Thats right! Prior to their being invented, pool owners simply used a screen and a brush on the end of a long pole to keep heavy debris out of their pools and the sides clean.

Cleaning Your Pool Manually

The problem is that it is an awkward somewhat difficult task to perform and it has to be done on a regular schedule. Also an hour a day every few days adds up to well over a hundred hours a week and for most people time is money.

One Of the Best Deals Out There

So in the end, spending hundreds of dollars on robotic automatic pool cleaners that do the work for free for easily over a decade is one of the best deals going out there. But by far the best deal is one of the suction-side pool cleaners that can be easily picked up for less that $100.

If you are a pet owner, chances are that your cat or dog has had at least one accident. Urine, feces and vomit stains are par for the course if you are the owner of an untrained puppy or kitten. There are many ways to prevent pet stains and odor and the wise pet owner will search out information on good house-breaking and litter-training techniques. The diet and health of your cat or dog are also a strong part of the equation. Responsible pet owners are those who are willing to visit and consult with a veterinarian on a regular basis to ensure they are taking the necessary steps to maintain the health of their pets.

When accidents happen, it is important to remove as much of the solid matter as possible. A large metal spatula without holes set aside for only this purpose is an invaluable and inexpensive removal tool. Make sure to label the spatula for pet use only so that it doesn’t find itself in the general population of your kitchen utensils! For vomit and feces, the spatula is effective in scraping the solid matter off in an efficient way. Make sure to have a plastic garbage bag handy to dump the mess into. This method works well even for watery messes and can prevent a lot of matter from soaking into carpeting or rugs.

The next step in pet stain removal is to try to absorb or suction up the liquid matter left over from messier feces or vomit and from urination accidents. To effectively absorb liquid from carpeting or rugs, the best method is to use an old towel or several thicknesses of paper toweling or toilet paper. Layering a plastic bag over the towels or toilet paper protects your hand or foot from becoming soiled when pressing the area to wick up the liquid. It is recommended that fresh towels or toilet paper be applied again and pressed into the spot until the majority of the liquid has been absorbed. The other method of liquid removal is to literally suck it up with a wet-dry vacuum cleaner or a carpet extractor/carpet cleaner.
