Happy New Year Goodbye 2013 - Hello 2014

This past weekend I began my Goodbyes to 2013. leaving the past behind as I step into the future 2014.
My Pastor at the River of Life  Bryan Pace said there were 2 things  we should leave behind.
#1 Unforgiveness as it will hinder what God has planned for us.
#2 Resentment  as it also will hinder God's plan for us.
Let it Go!
and along with #2  Forgive Ourselves and be grateful. Let go of Disappointments.

In August of 2013 I picked up a Daily Mediation Book
The Language of  Letting Go by Melody Beattie.

I have been in the process of Letting go of many things and # 1 emotions that were controlling my life for the last 6 months.

Can't wait to start from  Day1 in 2014 . the September - December mediation  have helped me to make some healthy changes in my life. I am ready for the future, I am sure I will have to daily check for  baggage
that appears in that hidden area of my heart.

What does this have to do with my business.
I believe that with the changes I have made I have also gained a new perspective and hope my clients find
me more authentic  and with new attitudes of responsibility. I want to provide the best in customer service
and deliver what I promise. Thanks to all who have made 2013 a great year & have listened to me when
I needed a listening ear.
 May 2014 be your best year ever. Remembering  that the challenges make us stronger.

Who is Promolady

I love the digital world, little did I know

in 1996 when I started

Diamondback Promotions, llc

the direction that technology would play in my company.  Emails & computers  were slow to transmit  art to the few vendors that had emails  & would take hours. My smart phone has more memory than my 1^st computer and certainly faster speeds. I had dial-up. Today promotional products have expanded & combine multi-media. Social

media & web design & mobile websites.

Video is part of most campaigns. All social media can be combined with promotional items. It is important to have a consultant

Who has the creative talent & is resourceful to get the best ROI for your brand. I believe we are each the brand for the products we represent. Relationship Marketing is a Number One.

To Brand or Not

We are fast approaching the Holiday Gift Giving Season. Do you want to put your logo on a promotional item or give it as a gift.
Brand is important. My most unusual  request was to have Silver Bars engraved with the clients Logo.
Think about who will be receiving the items & the price point.
A fine writing instrument may be engraved with only the recipients name.
Just remember promotional products are a great way to produce memories for the recipient.
Need some advise on what to select. Give me a call & I will save you hours of stress. Go enjoy the Fall Season & let me get creative for you.
Thanks for reading

Just signed up for this blog link above . I am excited to see what is going on around the world in promotional products.

As most of you know I own a  Promotional Products company. Just received this blog from my screen printer and wanted to let the world know that we in Arizona do pull together. I think the guys at Info Screen Printing  are amazing and Kudos to McCreary's Tees. I hope this article lets the world see a different
view of the people in Arizona.   click  to read Together we Thrive
Info  Screen Printing I love you Guys!
I am sure most of us are sad today and have been in shock since Saturday Morning.
If we all remember to Love each other and know that we are all unique people with many different
opinions, and that we can think different but still have respect & love for each other. Life is precious and we need each other. My heart is broken and I pray for each person, that our God can provide  healing for our Nation and the World.  

It's 2011 we are headed for the second weekend of the year. I attended my first Network meeting of 2011 and the speaker for Club e Network was awesome. His topic what economic season are we in.
His name is Carl Gould and you can find him at www.carlgould.com his company CMT Mentors. Carl is a very dynamic speaker who inspired me to rethink my business model. Not that this had not been on my mind for the last few months.

Tonight opening my emails I discovered that Cindy Samuelson has started a blog.
She is an amazing woman entrepreneur, who as a coach will not let you live in a world of excuses.
If you are in the network marketing game, I would suggest making Cindy's blog a read every time she publishes & if you need a teacher, coach, or speaker I highly recommend her.

The Annual
Arizona Promotional Product Trade Show
Where :Mesa Convention Center
263 North Center Street
Mesa, AZ 85201
Time 1PM- 4PM

Where did the last Six months go! Today is the 6 month anniversary of the Haiti Earthquake!
I am sure the time has not gone as fast for my friends in Haiti. Just watched a few minutes of Anderson Cooper talking with former President Bill Clinton about the issues on rebuilding and
bringing in supplies. I don't have the solution, however I find it hard to believe in this Internet age that things move so slow. I have several friends that have gone over in the last few months and find the conditions unbelievable. My friends come back and talk of the resilience of the people and that despite living on the ruble and rocks in tents ( it's hard to call some of the structures tents) they still smile and Worship God and even ask my friends how they are.

As we now have our own environmental Oil Spill issue in the Gulf, how many
people have lost jobs, lost businesses, become homeless. There should be solutions and people willing to try the solutions (alright they are trying once again today to cap the well.) Why does everything move like it is a slow motion movie or in some cases as if the pause button was pushed and someone left the room & forgot they had pushed pause.
When I look at my own needs they really seem insignificant!

My prayers go to the people of the world that are in the mist of chaos.
One solution each day we should all take a few moments and pray for
decisions to bring a relief to people in a lot of places in the world.
( the list of other problems would be too long for a blog)

Watching CNN Anderson Cooper tonight I should think that I would have rejoiced that the T- shirt sewing operations had already reopened and people were back to work. However, when they gave the salary at $4.00 .... My mind went flying ahead until it invaded my brain, this is $4.00 a day and this is above the minimum wage for Haiti. That $4.00 a day is income for a household of 8 people.
I sell T-shirts as part of my promotional products business ......and of course I enjoy finding a great price for my clients, that is until it really invaded my mind that yes I am selling shirts and someone in Haiti has a sweat shop job.
I have respect for Dove Charney, the owner of American Apparel in Los Angeles because he
provides a respectful salary & benefits for his employees. Sure the cost of his products are more expensive.
I am sure there are many other types of business that take advantage of not just Haiti, but other impoverished nations.
Social Justice is needed! I do believe in a free market place and entrepreneur spirit.
I believe in education! I believe people perish because of lack of knowledge.
$4.00 a day and we look at Haiti and wonder why the people were living in shacks.
Do I have a solution? Maybe just maybe we should look at what we are willing to pay for
products.
American jobs have gone overseas and we have high unemployment.
Do I have the answers? Absolutely not!
Will Haiti be rebuild as the Jewel it once was or will the people be exploded even more.

I believe that the Haitians should be allowed to be part of the rebuilding efforts.
The needs are many and the opportunity is great. The need for doctors, nurses, dentist,health care workers, teachers, construction workers, architects, engineers. Those who have come to the US and other countries and received the education in the past 30 years. It is a Now moment
that you can return to Haiti and rebuild and provide the training and education to take Haiti out of poverty into prosperity.
People of Haiti you deserve Social Justice!

Amazing, the people have a Voice! They went out in the snow & cold weather and they voted.
President Obama I hope you stop and look at the decisions you are making and how they will someday determine your daughters destiny and the American peoples. I know you want to make a impact, however Mr. President rushing into some decisions will cause Americans to feel as though they have no choices and these decisions will become your legacy.
I hope you will realize that the people have spoken in a state that you won by more than 25 points. We want change, but we want a voice in the change. I believe that you have a chance to be a bridge between 2 political parties and serve the people of the United States instead of a political party. You do work for us Mr. President and so do the senators and the congress. How about hearing our voices and our concerns.

What about Haiti. Haiti has made news on other occasions, hurricanes, starving children and adults, high crime rates and extreme poverty.
Haiti you have captured our hearts with a Huge Earthquake.
We can no longer ignore your PAIN! As Katrina brought attention to New Orleans and hopefully
all disaster relief personnel have taken the lessons Katrina taught and will respond quickly to this situation.
The memorial to those who have lost their lives should be that this area is rebuilt in a speedy
fashion, with modern construction and technology, clean water ( as many deaths have been due to the substandard water and waste water treatment plants that were in place.
Cruise Ship lines if you have ships you are not using why not consider donating them to house
displaced people.
My prayer today is for the Rescue of people and for strenght for the workers that are trying to restore order.
Tonight in Phoenix at The RIVER of Life
we are having a Corporate Prayer for Haiti.
All that want to join in this The River is located at 4039 East Raymond St. Phoenix, AZ 85040.
May the World come together to help a hurting Island!

Happy New Year to everyone. Was a very busy 4th quarter. Thanks to all my clients and my Networking friends for a great end to 2009. May prosperity be abundant in all of your lives in 2010. May you & yours have the best in health in 2010. May you receive all that God has for you and that you walk out the purpose God has for you.
