Maintenance Engineering President Curt Kesselring “Tips For A Happy New Year!”

Don’t think about details you can’t control, think about details you can control.

Don’t think about what you can’t do, think about what you can do.

Don’t think about what you can’t change, think about what you can change.

Don’t think about people you can’t change, think about the ONE you can change.

Aim high, be happy and have fun in everything you do.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Maintenance Engineering Vice President Dennis Leno “2012 Goal Setting”

“Think good and good follows!” – Dr. Joseph Murphy

Soon 2012 will be underway. It’s going to be a very profitable exciting year. One way to insure you get the most out of 2012 is to put the most into it. As DaVinci said “Thou, O God, dost sell us all good things at the price of labor.” Another way to phrase that is there is no such thing as a free lunch.

To insure a great 2012, get excited about a goal, then share your goal with your manager. Chase one or more of Maintenance Engineering’s Awards that fire your imagination. Get excited about them and then go after them. Picture yourself receiving those awards at the end of 2012. It will ensure a great year for you!

Maintenance Engineering President Curt Kesselring “The Spirit of Christmas”

Christmas, it’s my favorite holiday. While I enjoy all of the traditional aspects of Christmas and what it stands for, I most enjoy the spirit of Christmas. It’s a spirit that fills everyone during this season and makes it so very special.

During Christmas, we worry less about thing we shouldn’t have worried about in the first place and instead focus on our families, our good fortune and the good around us. Our attitudes shift to become much more positive. We ignore the negative and focus on all the good in our lives. We focus on our good fortune of having been born in America and all of the positive things that have happened to us as a result.

The spirit of Christmas is really the result of everyone’s attitudes becoming more positive during the season. This year, really get into the “Christmas Spirit” by focusing on the good in your life, the positives. Then, hold onto this spirit, this positive attitude and carry it into 2012 and through the entire New Year. It will insure a great Christmas and a great 2012 for you, your family, and your career!

Merry Christmas !!

Maintenance Engineering Vice President Dennis Leno “MERRY CHRISTMAS”

It is almost hard to believe that we have come to another Christmas. It is a time of the year when we recall memories of past Christmasses and celebrations with siblings, parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Yet the best memories are the ones we make this Christmas!

Perhaps that is really what Christmas is about. To tell the good news of Christmas to everyone who will stand long enought to listen to our story. Then spend the next year living the story of Christmas so others can see it in us.

God Bless you and Merry Christmas!

Maintenance Engineering Vice President Dennis Leno “Year-End Goals”

Did you make a promise to yourself?

When 2011 started, did you set a volume goal? Did you promise yourself that no matter what you were going to hit that goal? How have you done with that goal? Did you keep your promise?

Upon asking these questions I have had salespeople tell me it was only a promise to me. It I don’t hit my goal it doesn’t really matter. I believe that a promise made to yourself is the most important promise of all to keep.

The bible has a quote that tells the whole story. “He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much.”- Luke 16: 10

It’s critical to keep the promises made to yourself because that’s where it all begins. As you set and keep your goals for yourself, you will keep them to others.

You have plenty of time left in 2011 to hit your goal. Do it now and keep your promise. It’s the thing to do!

Maintenance Engineering 2011 Christmas project — Eyes of a Child.

Maintenance Engineering 2011 Christmas project — Eyes of a Child. The intent of the program was to give each employee $25 from Maintenance Engineering to be able to purchase and give a gift to a child whom they know who might not otherwise have the magic of Christmas. The program was fully funded by the company unless someone wants to purchase additional gift items above and beyond the $25. These pictures show the gifts being collected, loaded, and a whole truckload taken over to Nokomis Child Care Center and distributed to children with special needs. Thanks to all who participated in this program! Happy Holidays!

Maintenance Engineering Lighting Product Tip “Did You Know?”

Maintenance Engineering Lighting Product Tip “Did You Know?”Leave a CommentDid you know that storing fluorescent lamps on end can lead to hard starting and poor initial performance. Mercury inside the tube can “fall” to the lower end of the lamp during storage. By not having mercury evenly distributed throughout the lamp, the lamp can take longer to start and come up to full brightness.

Fluorescent lamps should always be stored horizontally.

Maintenance Engineering “Christmas Spirit …Pass It On”

My favorite time of the year is RIGHT NOW! Now is the time where we ignore the news and the negative naysayers. Now is the time we focus on the positive in our lives. Everyone is more upbeat and cheerful. And the positive Christmas music is a fantastic change from the standard fare.

As salespeople we all know the power of positive thinking and positive attitudes. When you have it, it’s contagious it infects and affects everyone you come near. Negative people become positive, non buyers become buyers and everyone is better for their contact with you.

This year let’s keep the Christmas spirit past Dec. 25th and into 2012… AND THROUGH THE YEAR! The Christmas spirit is magical and powerful. Let’s continue to pass it on to everyone we meet for the next 12 months. I believe that our small group of positive people can have an impact on our entire nation as the spirit we pass on is multiplied each day and each week by each person we meet.

So…let’s begin by you and your family having a MERRY CHRISTMAS and then join me in keeping AND passing on the Christmas spirit throughout 2012. Together we can impact the nation!
