FAST FACT:

In recent TV commercials, the Ford Motor Company is touting the idea that their cars now have the same high quality workmanship as Toyota cars and trucks. This may rank as one of the worst marketing ideas Ford has had since the Edsel. Why would any company state that they finally have achieved the same quality as its major rival? Is it not the idea to leapfrog beyond your competition?

And what does that say to those millions of Ford car and truck owners? That your vehicle simply does not meet the standards of Toyota? If the best a company can do is to match the competition, it doesn’t sound like they are achieving much at all.

Building Self-Confidence for a Lifetime of Achievement

Forcing Your Goals versus Empowering Your Dreams

FAST FACT:

Which 2008 presidential candidate said this about the current energy crisis? The United States faces a fundamental threat to American democracy and a crisis of confidence. The energy crisis gripping the nation threatens the very security of our nation.

Actually neither current candidate has expressed the energy crisis in those words; it was President Jimmy Carter in 1979. Gas price at that time was 90 cents a gallon ($2.69 in today’s dollars).

These countries, mostly totalitarian in nature, can artificially create a crisis by simply stating it may slow down production. With the US importing 60 percent of its oil to meet energy needs that supports the economy and culture, withholding oil according to Carter is the “moral equivalent of war.” Unfortunately almost 30 years later the US still has no formidable alternative energy policy.
