A Good Team Makes a Good Product

1203958212_Bill_Farley_picture If you pick up any business book that talks about making a great company, the one thing that you will find in all of them is that there is an emphasis on teamwork.  In fact, it is rare to see a company that succeeds not have a good team behind it.

I was looking today at companies that cater to the health sector.  Specifically, I was looking at companies that cater to the healthy living market and provide a product to fill a need.  Out of all the companies I looked at, one product stood out: Zrii Amalaki Juice.

You see, the product that they are offering is a delicious juice that prevents disease, maintains good health, and helps to maintain vitality.  I was really interested to read about the Zrii formulation team and see how their ideas became a reality.

I found a few good biographies of how their business became the success that it is today - I think I will go read them now and get inspired.




We All Have a Hero

I try my best to keep up with the latest on economic news. It is something that I am very passionate about and it is something that I will continue to be passionate about. I have recently started writing a column for a local newspaper on financial matters. I have had a lot of good feedback on it and I really enjoy writing it.

My column contains a good variety of economic advice, as well as quite a bit of financial humor. I write it so that many people can grasp the point of it, even if they have not studied economics in the past. I write so that all people can grasp the point.

I would have to say my greatest mentor would be Michael Dinich. I would like nothing more than to meet this man someday. He is amazing and I wish to be more like him. I actually try to write my articles in the same style that he would use. He is absolutely brilliant, and yet, even the simplest of minds can understand him. He is my hero.




How to Look Like a Celebrity in Photographs

Posted By Steve on February 15, 2008 @ 11:31 pm

Beautiful, elegant, sexy, attractive - some examples of words that you think of when looking at a photograph of your favorite celebrity.

Looking at the posters of celebrities most people want to have such a photo session where they will be the main heroes. But the other thing is to find a really professional photographer. As a rule, we don’t have time or money for such experiments and continue to admire the impressive posters of Natalie Portman or Salma Hayek. But still you can try and take some interesting photos by yourself. First of all, it is necessary to find the best pose and perspective. Practice in front of the mirror in order to find your best impression and pose.

But one of the most important things is to take as many photos as possible. As you know among several hundreds of photos only two will be perfect and astonishing. Others are so-so. So, there is nothing strange when you don’t like most of your portraits. The thing is that you do it once a year and don’t prepare. Of course, we will not deny that there are people who are graceful by nature. But there are not a lot of them in this world. And I may reassure you that most celebrities also practise before the mirror or with a special trainer… and now it is just their second nature. So, everything depends on you.

The other vary important thing for making you look attractive on photos is the light. You also can take a mirror and compare the reflections you see when you are staying in front of the window, in a dark room or under the lamp. Just try to find the best variant and of course, read more useful tips about such things. Thus, you can create a poster of yourself or of your friend and make such a present. I am sure, it will be better than the posters of some celebrity. Just try!




Start Small, Dream Big

Posted By Misty Mountain on December 8, 2007 @ 1:03 pm

I was browsing around in a specialty store the other day that sells aircraft parts. At first, it just seemed like an auto part store, but if you looked closer, you would see all sorts of wonderful little pieces, used to build and repair aircraft.

The most exciting section of the store was the avionics. I would never have guessed that there were so many intricate details involved in the electrical system of a plane. There is everything from dials to lights to fasteners available. I know where to look next time I want to make a robot costume for Halloween.

The shop also had a small section on building model airplanes. This was definitely a little bit more on my level. I thought that building a model was the perfect start to my career, where I would some day build electrical panels for fighter jets. Starting small is okay, as long as I continue to dream big.
