Greetings,
Today some of America's sharpest entrepreneurs success stories are so profound. These entrepreneurs started businesses and companies during a slump economy, but grew to be great businesses and companies today. The entrepreneurs of old paved a path for upcoming entrepreneurs today. Great businesses can be built during tough times. In 1939 at the tail end of the Great Depression Hewlett-Packard was created. During the 1957 recession Digital Equipment challenge IBM sparking a high-tech boom in Massachusetts. Sillicon Valley was largely created during the mid 1970 recession, also Atari(video games), Apple(personal computers), Genentech(biotechnology DNA). Mitch Kapor during the early 1980s (another recession), saw an opportunity to create software tools for personal computers that would help businesses be more productive. In 1982 he (Mitch Kapor) founded his own company called Lotus. In 1983 ( the full year) Lotus sold $53 million in software. Also, a recent article by Rhonda Abrams in the USA Today noted 16 of the 30 companies that make up the Dow Industrial Average was started during a recession or depression. Procter&Gamble, Disney, Alcoa, McDonald's, General Electric and Johnson&Johnson are some of the names that became great companies out of a slump economy. I will name a few more businesses that started and grew profitable out of a slump economy, Super Cuts, Cable Vision, Famous Amos Cookies, Oakley, Chili's and Microsoft. As I read and write this is reminding me how God can take a lump and slump of clay (no matter how bad it look), then turn it into something great. God is the original creator. If man can create then how much more can God create and bring into fulfillment his promises. All I'm doing is being his (God's) assistant. In other words "Greatness Can Emerge From A Slump"!! What great things has God done for you? Share it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With Love,

Starting up in a down economy
Greetings,
Starting up a new business in a down economy look crazy. Starting look like a bad decision, one that is hopeless and the idea wont get off the ground. Look is just an appearance. God said I will be the lender and not the borrower. I will be the head and not the tail. I will eat the good and fruit of the land. God will give me wells that I did not dig. God will do just what he said. What am I saying? Now is the time no matter what the economy look like, I will continue on my "Journey 2 viz", a road to success God gave me to walk. What is your journey? Share it with me.
With Love,

The People Behind The Food
Greetings,
The Hartman Group did a report on emerging trends for the year ahead (2009). High quality topping it's predictions, despite economic uncertainty. This report states that consumers will become more interested in foods that seem less mass-produced and higher quality ingredients. There is a gradual shift of communities, families that are (people behind the food) increasingly important as the food itself when it comes to healthy, high quality eating experiences. Consumers will continue to focus on fresh, local, quality products even if they are feeling the economic pinch. Consumers will move towards a celebration of food, healthy eating and better awareness of over all eating. While consumer's taste and preference are evolving in the direction of high quality The Hartman Group do not expect such evolution to be derailed by the economic tumult. People are dining out less, therefore people will have more interest in prepared foods. I am excited about "The People Behind The Food", because it is these people that I will be a servant to. I am looking forward to serving you High Quality Cookies with taste and flavor that you desire to awaken your palate. It blows my mind to think how God has given me such a wonderful market to enter in. It will fulfill my inner-most desire to cater to your pleasure, comfort, and satisfaction for high quality food. Let your voice be heard. Tell me (The People Behind The Food)what is your "High Quality"?
With Love,

Day 13, Cookie History "little Cake"
Greetings,
The word cookie derives from the Dutch word "Koekje", meaning little cake. Little cake date back to the 5Th century Persia (Now Iran), in United States and Canada it's a small flat cake. In England most English speaking countries outside North America the word biscuit is used. Little cakes came over with the first ships to New Amsterdam, it never went home, Cookies are as American as apple pie. We have recipes from the French, English, Germans, Austrians of the 14TH century. The Germans and Austrians bake some of the greatest cookies of all using ginger, cumin, poppy seed, and nutmeg since medieval times. But England became the heart land of the biscuit in the 19TH century and becane the natural partner of the English cup of tea. England biscuits "little cake" are plain and delicately flavored cakes baked to a crisp texture and since 1870 has been sold in hundreds of mixtures and shapes. Many other countries have strong traditions of making and baking little cakes Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Mexican, Italian, Caribbean to name a few. The American cookie (it's name Dutch) texture is more cakey than its England sisters, strong flavors with a heavy emphasis on chocolate and various nuts making it a chewy satisfying mouthful experience. American cookies are made in every region, state, town, and city. COOKIES (like the American apple pie) an American way.
