Some Good Advice

I received some input from a close friend and client.  I'm glad he told me this, I wanted to try and clarify my stance.  Here is what he told me.
Hey Aaron,
I would say to not be only negative. Look at both sides of the equation.
A 'doomsdayer' will run off most of his customers eventually.
A negative outlook gives negative results.

Hopefully, my response will clear some of this up.
I'm not trying to be "negative", but realistic.  If, as a nation, we continue on the path we are on, it will lead to terrible results.  My hope is to try and get people to stop doing the things that will cause this.  I believe our country is great and will continue to be.  I'm sorry if I came off that way.  I believe there are positives out there, once we clean up the current mess.  I will post all the positives I find.  Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it.


With that said, I will make it a point to always have something positive on the blog.  In my research, I found a pretty cool site called Happy News.

I don't think our military men and woman receive enough of our praise.

A great business promotion, helping those less fortunate, in the St. Louis area:
It was a year ago that Panera converted the Clayton restaurant into a nonprofit pay-what-you-want restaurant with the idea of helping to feed the needy and raising money for charitable work. Panera founder and Chairman Ronald Shaich said the café, operated through Panera's charitable foundation, has been a big success, largely because of people like Thornton.

***I also want to clarify something.  This is a place for me to put down my personal thoughts and ideas.  I do not represent the outlook, recommendations, or opinion of Raymond James and Associations.***
