A great partnership stems from each side being able to build on the strength of each partner. You have qualities that strengthen our company and that I alone don't have. When you combine those with your great personality, it makes a winning combination. Look out world, here we come! Thanks Trace!

I have worked with many professional athletes over the years-and one thing they all have in common is knowing the self talk they will use when they are losing. You talked about perseverance-this means they know they will have losing days-and they are prepared for them, especially with what they will say to themselves. Those that are not prepared sink into doom, gloom and depression. Thanks for a terrific post- Ellyn Hi Stu-

It would have been fun to meet up in Vancouver... Robson street was packed. Seeing everyone in their Canada jerseys was awesome! All the best.

First, you captured the essence of the Olympic spirit in your comments and your pictures. And the points you related to running a successful business are all too true - some of which I have been lacking lately and you've helped ignite the fire to correct that, so THANK YOU! Second, I want to acknowledge you for the way you operate your business. You really walk the talk. As a customer, I've needed support in the past and was pleasantly surprised to have a complex question answered by you personally. And when your team answers on your behalf, they are always fast, courteous and as helpful as possible. I live in Vancouver and would have loved to bought you a beer while you were here, but alas, next time. Thanks again, Paul Stu, I want to say “thank you” for this post for a couple of reasons.
