What it is all about...

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

-Joyce Kilmer

Not getting paid

Sometimes you have people who can't pay after the work is done. Luckily most of my customers have been great. I'm going to give them some time before I take other action, but it would be nice if I could just get my fair share for the job I did.

The question is a deep one. Who deserves better pay, the marketer or the accountant? How much are teachers worth? How much is a president worth?

The "Little Guy"

Although I recently professed a desire to export to the Caribbean. True, but meeting a woman who devoted her life to helping sick doggies was pretty inspiring. A few trees but it was a great experience.

New marketing approach

In the upcoming month I will be contacting major hotels throughout Latin America concerning the shipment of plants. I can broker the plants at a better price: we grow the best quality in the world!

Exporting

Since we've been exporting plants all across the world, I realized it makes to advertise with google in the countries where the plants are going. I think this is a great way to make contacts and I am encouraged business will boom.

Things have been incredibly busy for plantsfromparadise!

I didn't take on a project to set up an indoor landscape at the Miami Beach Convention Center. To be honest, it wasn't very appealing to work with the people who charge you to plug in a light. No one had anything positive to say about working at the Convention Center. But it was a beautiful design.

I'm expecting big things from this new ad campaign.
