Atta Boy

My old boss would say " One ah shit wipes out 10 atta boys"

That is more true today then ever.

We are all under the microscope or as David Arpin puts it " The Fish Bowl".

We are as good as the job we do today.. that is the reality.
The competition is stiff and loyalty will only go so far.

What have you done for me lately?

If you spend to much time patting yourself on the back you will spend less time looking forward.
Your goal is to always to better. Feel good about the job you do and move on.
When you come right down to it , no matter what business or profession you are in we are all the same when it comes down to it.

People will step in and take your job tomorrow and customers will go elsewhere at a drop of a hat. And with the power of the Internet they can help damage you and your reputation...the fish bowl.

So what can we do? Keep at it and do the best you can every day. That was Paul Arpin's philosophy and it served him well.
