HENRY FORD IS REPORTED TO HAVE OFFERED $25,000 TO ANYONE WHO WOULD SH0W HIM HOW TO SAVE A SINGLE NUT AND BOLT ON EACH AUTOMOBILE HE MADE. Without Henry Ford, our country would not be the America we know today. His obsession with reducing costs and improving productivity allowed him to build the first automobile that ordinary people could afford and led to the construction of a vast network of roads and highways that gave birth to today’s mobile society. It also set the stage for total quality management and continuous improvement programs that are prevalent in the automotive industry today. … (2 comments)

lake front lake arrowhead: Thought for the Day - 10/05/10 05:37 AM
BEFORE WORRYING ABOUT HOW TO GET MORE PAY, TRY THINKING HOW YOU CAN DO A BETTER JOB AND YOU MAY NOT NEED TO WORRY. When you devote your time and efforts to doing your best at every job you do, instead of developing persuasive arguments why you should be paid more for what you do, the pay raises will take care of themselves. When you approach every job enthusiastically in a spirit of friendly cooperation, you distinguish yourself from the vast majority of people whose primary concerns include breaks, benefits, paychecks, and quitting time. Don’t complain about your status or your … (1 comments)

 No Longer Golden -- Jobs Leaving California........
 
 
Even if you do not read this entire post, you ought to scroll down and see what a massive list this really is.  California is no longer the Golden State, thanks mostly to the inept morons in Sacramento and their asinine policies.
It costs a company lots of money to pull-up roots and move, a decision not to be taken lightly.  The majority of these jobs and companies will never come back. The last part tells the story we as a small business deal with every day.

The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. I ordered a burger at McDonald's, and the kid behind the counter asked,  "Can you afford fries with that?" CEO's are now playing miniature golf. If the bank returns your check marked  "Insufficient Funds," you have to call them and ask if they mean you or them .

Their emotions will always get in the way of their ability to think … (0 comments)
