Blu News
NEW CONTEST - In the spirit of Mother's Day, we are giving a $300.00 gift certificate to www.smithandhawken.com or www.potterybarn.com to a "mom".
Take a photo of your mother, or have someone take a photo of you! One of your children must be in the photo or one of your mother's children must be in the photo. Put a can of soda somewhere in the photo so I can confirm that you "just took the photo" Due to many requests that some people may not see their mom until Mother's Day we are going to change the deadline. The NEW deadline is midnight ON Mother's Day and the winner will be announced on Monday May 14th sometime. Email your entry to kailee@bludomain.com. The hundreds of entries thus far are so precious.
. Blu will be promoting peaceful solutions very soon. Being honest is the only way to be successful in any industry. Blu will continue to say " we are in the midst of growing pains" and we continue to work for the next 6 weeks on curing those growing pains. We aren't interested in the shortcuts.
Any business is a process and we have resolved that you are never going to get things right all the time. There are going to be moments when you slip, just as there will be moments when you make real progress. The key is to accept the process. I believe the reason most people fail to reach the finish line is because they confuse a setback with a failure. A setback isn't a dead end: a setback is just a learning curve on the journey to success.
Our team is is composed of amazing and valuable characteristics: dedication, compassion, hard work and faith.
Stay tuned for the NEW Blu. Don't confuse growing pains for anything but that. I'm thrilled, excited, and can hardly sleep.
