I HOPE.... HOPE...HOPE... (INFINITY) THAT I AM COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY WRONG, BUT I GOOGLED IT, AND IT SAID TRAINING ABOUT PROFITABLE GROWTH. What's the number one item on every company's agenda? Profitable Growth. Every Business Is a Growth Business is your one-stop guide to making profitable growth happen. It's a radical and refreshing source of ideas, inspiration, and common sense, all based on the unparalleled experience and access of Ram Charan and Noel Tichy. Charan and Tichy have worked with some of the world's leading executives—people such as Jack Welch of GE, Eckhard Pfeiffer of Compaq, Larry Bossidy of Allied Signal, John Reed of Citigroup, **** Brown of Cable & Wireless, Alex Trotman and Jacques Nasser of Ford, and the senior management of Coca-Cola—who have transformed their companies into profitable growth machines. Every Business Is a Growth Business is a distillation of what the authors and these unique leaders have learned about profitable growth: If your business isn't growing sustainably and profitably, it's dying. Any business can grow profitably. There is no such thing as a mature business. A company grows because growth is in the corporate mindset, created by the company's leaders. The mindset of growth starts at the top, but it must reach all the way to the bottom. Sustainable growth is profitable and capital-efficient. "Broadening your pond," changing your company's genetic code, developing a growth strategy from the outside in, and other unique ideas. Every Business Is a Growth Business includes inside accounts of how GE Medical, Allied Signal, Compaq, Citibank, Reynolds and Reynolds, Praxair, and GE Capital developed profitable growth strategies. It includes "The Handbook for Growth," a highly practical guide that will be an immense help as you and your team develop your company's profitable growth strategy.

I want the largest Tim Horton's Coffee with Half/Half and One cube of sugar... and a Red Rasberry Jelly donut with powdered sugar... I can have all my cheat day foods in my daydream, calorie free...

CaptSpiffy... I personally think your idea is marvelous... and why not send out a request for some honest to goodness ...goodness... you did it right and respectfully... I so agree with the honesty and get right down to the facts... if more people are stand up kind of guys and gals... they would see the amazing potential of such a notion... bring it to life....

Thanks Rudy, excellent read...

I am not taking a formal stance however, I felt that the following information regarding spelling might proove to be useful information. In addition, oddly enough Albert Einstein was considered to be a poor student, lacking the ability to attend to task, remain focused and was in fact brilliant! “In trying to determine the characteristics of good spellers, Savant finds evidence that good spellers tend to be highly motivated, highly organized, and attentive to detail. In her survey of 42,000 readers, she found that spelling ability seemed to be correlated more with personality traits and habits than with problem-solving ability and intelligence.” Reference: The Art of Spelling: The Madness and the Method. by Marilyn Vos Savant.

Ok.... since I consider myself to be a dedicated and proficient lurker, but cant figure out how to change that little thing... Many of us have been here for a long time, and much to the risk of being smashed, bashed and called all kinds of ca-ca... I would hope, and pray that in some way we might use this opportunity to draw close to each other as a group of people who all stand to benefit from a once in a lifetime opportunity, and while we could draw near to each other, like friends and family can and often do, I am only ashamed because the atmosphere in here has progressed sadly in a direction that I would not consider befitting of any one of us. We are all in this together, for the entire duration. I dont speculate, and I am here to glean and grow from this experience. I hope that no-one takes offense to my words, but instead considers how powerful in fact the words you carry are, you can in fact use the words to build up or to destroy. I wont make any speculations, or even attempt an educated guess regarding the rv. Special days are in fact exactly what they imply... I in fact will be celebrating my 29th birthday.... Again..(well ok... a few times again). on November 1st... its a day, I hope my loved ones and friends might treasure as well... take a minute and celebrate each moment. The RV is going to happen, go watch the sunrise, or the sunset, go dance in your yard in the rain, call someone special and tell them you value them. This world is sorely lacking in humanity, kindness, love and generosity. Take maybe just a minute and reflect on what you want people to remember you for. Always. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"

Happy Birthday Bigfoot! I hope that your day is blessed, and that you are surrounded by those you love and make lasting memories. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!"

To cute.... giggling to self[/font]!
