MH March-ing, Money, Motivation, Movement, Morality and Matthew

Winter will soon release her icy grip on much of the nation. The spring “selling season” is rushing upon us. We are picking up 3 minutes a day of light. The Tunica MH Show will be here in a matter of weeks. As you look at the balance of the year 2015, this is a good time to ask:

  • what will I do to improve my performance?

  • How can we improve the performance of our firm’s results?

  • What are you doing to challenge your own thinking or that of your team?

  • What will you and your associates do to stretch and grow?

Part of the purpose or mission of a good industry trade journal are suggested by that paragraph above. Learn. Earn. Return. Our tag line says it this way, “Industry News, Tips and Views Pros Can Use.” ©

News as Opportunity, Inspiration and Morality Tales

What is news? Lets see what some journalists have said through the years.

Well, news is anything that’s interesting, that relates to what’s happening in the world, what’s happening in areas of the culture that would be of interest to your audience.” 

– Kurt Loder, American journalist

Hard news really is hard. It sticks not in the craw but in the mind. It has an almost physical effect, causing fear, interest, laughter or shock.”
Andrew Marr, British journalist

There can be no higher law in journalism than to tell the truth and to shame the devil.”
Walter Lippmann, American journalist

We cannot make good news out of bad practice.”
Edward R. Murrow, American broadcast journalist

Every serious Industry or Profession has news that impacts it. Every ‘real’ profession has one or more quality trade publication(s). News – good or bad – as well as topics relateding to legal, marketing, sales, management, politics, association, education, image, product development, financing and more are covered by trade publishers.

Knowing what is going on can inspire you, show you threats to avoid and opportunities to capitalize upon. Good trade news can protect or grow your firm’s or a persons understanding, assets and performance.

Our industry’s first and still only Daily Business News (DBN) can be one of those informational tools to help you keep up, be informed and inspired. No wonder it is one of our most read sections of our popular site!

matthew-silver-daily-business-news-mhpronews-comThe negative news can be like morality tales. Don’t do X, or this can happen to you!’ Our long-time DBN writer Matthew Silver plans to return soon to share the industry related news that is going on all around you. I suspect Matthew’s reported more news in 3.5 years than many others in our industry have combined for 10-20 years. So this piece of news is…Welcome Back Matthew!
