Beyond Success – Chapter 10
We are here to be excited from youth to old age, to have an insatiable curiosity about the world…. We are also here to help others by practicing a friendly attitude. And every person is born for a purpose. Everyone has a God-given potential, in essence, built into them. And if we are to live life to its fullest, we must realize that potential. — Kevin W. McCarthy, “The On-Purpose Person“
— An excerpt from, “Beyond Success” by Brian D. Biro.

A wonderful question that automatically shifts your focus from problem to solution is, “What's our true, desired outcome?”
Before you can truly engage the problem, you must first identify the true issue and goals.

Beyond Success – Chapter 8
Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you've done the best of which you are capable.
— An excerpt from, “Beyond Success” by Brian D. Biro.
Beyond Success – Chapter 7
…often a great leader eagerly accepts a position as a follower. This concept has been called Servant Leadership. Servant leaders are eager to do whatever it takes to support the entire team and its most important outcomes. They lead not by position or title, but instead seek to put the most qualified individual or team in charge of specific projects or campaigns. When it is appropriate for them to step forward and lead from the front, they do so without hesitation. But they are just as comfortable to let go and allow others to carry the ball.

John Brandon's Rules for Success
Let go of the old, make the most of the future
Always tell the truth, we want to hear the bad news sooner rather than later
The highest level of integrity is expected, when in doubt, ask
Learn to be a good businessperson, not just a great salesperson
Everybody sweeps the floor
Be professional in your style, speech and follow-up
Listen to the customer, they almost always “get it”
Create “win-win” relationships with our partners
Look out for each other, sharing information is a good thing
Don't take yourself too seriously

Using Amazon Web Services With PHP And SOAP (part 2). In this concluding part, I'm going to spend some time discussing the search features built into AWS, showing you the various types of search options available and illustrating, with examples, how they can be used to improve the user experience at your store. I'll also show you how to link your store up to Amazon's transaction system, by adding support for both shopping carts and wish lists to your site. All that and more, inside! — icarus
