1/21/09 Let the Expansion Begin Dear friends and colleagues, We stand on the threshold of a new age. Yesterday's Inauguration Speech by President Obama was an inspiration to me. I encourage you to review a copy when you have a few minutes. The International Herald Tribune published a copy on one page, which I copied into a document for future reference: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/01/20/america/Inauguration-Obama-Text.php The comment that appealed to me most was, "For everywhere we look, there is work to be done." This is the rallying cry for a new economic expansion. Forward- looking companies will begin to staff up now, to position themselves on the leading edge. In this new atmosphere, I know we will all be able to help each other succeed. We will all be part of this economic expansion. Each of us has talents that nobody else has. Each of us is intelligent, creative, and industrious. Each of us has a part to play. We each have a place that nobody else can fill. Today, I look at the market with new eyes. The filters of the past no longer apply. I am looking at companies with the question, "How may I help you?" In every company there is a need, a part that I can play, to help them succeed. I see them succeeding, as I see myself succeeding. I see you succeeding. I see your business growing, and I see prosperity for us all. Sincerely, --David Dull (415) 793-3544 ddull@netcom.com http://www.DavidDull.com Win: I went to the Higher Vision Center for a mid-week visioning circle.
