To all our highly valued clients and acquaintances:
As you are quickly closing in for your year-end wrap up, remember this quote??
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
~ Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933, Thirtieth President of the USA)

One relationship opened at a time, one new account at a time = powerful progress.
