President Obama Raising The Bar For Business

I just watch President Obama issue an executive order banning his White House staff' from lobbing while he is president. He is keeping his campaign promises.

It doesn't even matter if it is enforcable. I write this to take the wind out of the sails of the cynics who want to argue the validity of this order.

President Obama may not be the first to keep a campaign promise, but he is the first one that I remember and that is all that matters to me. He also raised the bar for integrity for everything business. Not just the business of politics. He said he was going to change Washington and he started on "day one."

If wall street would take note, maybe we can raise the integrity of the financial markets. the financial markets are a large part of the problem in this economy.

All business owners may want to take note also. If we run our companies with integrity and honesty, when all is said and done, we may not always make money on every project, but we will always have our integrity. Our employees will look to us for leadership.

Isn't that what has already happened with the new president. America is looking to President Obama to solve the problem in Washington.

To Be Continued...

A Second Time...

If one chooses...there can be a second time.

Happy New Year! 2009 is going to be a great year.

I can't believe it has been more than 4 years since my last [and first] blog post. [That may explain why I don't have a following. Not a recommended practice.] Similar to the first time, I was reading the Official Google Blog about its product releases for 2008 and went I click one of the links, I was asked to sign in. When I signed in, I was confronted with another question, "Would you like to create a blog?" Sure! When I typed in the name of my company, digiGENICS as the name of the blog, it says it was already taken. Impossible! You see, I created the name digiGENICS. I must have been here before.

As a Microsoft Partner, we have changed / upgraded servers and server operating systems and email programs several times since November 2004. We are currently operating Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition R2. [This has been the best Small Business Server operating program since NT Small Business Server, if anyone can remember that one. You've been around for awhile, like me. Which may explain why I didn't remember I was here before.] Where was I - the server and operating systems changes...we must have eliminated the email address I used when I created our blog account. I took a guess, sent it up again on our Microsoft Exchange Server and request a sign in which allowed to reconnect my blog to my Google Account. Google is so smart!

We provide Search Engine Marketing for a lot companies and we use our Google Account for different Google AdWords campaigns, etc. So now each week when I sign into our Google Account, I will be reminded to post something on this blog.

My New Years Resolution For 2009: Blog more often, which means if I post at least one more blog in 2009, I have kept my new years resolution.

Until next time, Ed Podowski, Chief Client Solutions Specialist

I Wish You And Your Family And Your Friends A Very Happy, Healthy, Safe and Prosperous New Year!
