Retail mega store Wal-Mart, located in Cornelius, Oregon opened up on the 11th of August. While the entire process of establishing the mega shop kept the townsfolk informed, no one knew of its exact official date of opening. The people at Wal-Mart wanted to keep it that way until they were certain of the establishment of the shop and wanted to stay free of the speculation that usually surrounds the opening of mega stores.
The opening of a store like Wal-Mart has an effect not only on an individual buyer but also on the economy of a city. Home owners and individual shoppers can get everything they need in one location. Every need is satiated under one roof, whether it is a kids backpack or an oven that needs to be replaced, an individual can never leave the store without a trolley full of items. For the city however, a giant like Wal-Mart signifies employment, increased consumer traffic and increase in the local as well as national GDP.
Since people come in from different parts of the state, businesses en route to the store also notice higher traffic. Local businesses get the opportunity to serve visitors from other areas which in turn helps them increase their earnings. While the consumers and the city are at the receiving end of the bounty that is Wal-Mart, another store opening for the parent company means a sensationally large addition to the turnover of the mega house.
The relationship is mutually satisfying and hopes to serve people at both ends. While the townsfolk of Cornelius are now happy their five year wait is over, city officials hope it can bring some relief to the town that is certified ‘severely distressed’ by the state.
If you believe everything the news media puts out about the economy, business and Americans’ finances today, you probably have a fairly bleak outlook for the near future. Local news broadcasts foretell of business closings, foreclosures and falling stocks.
The picture of America may not be as bad as the media paints it. News media outlets have been twisting stories to raise ratings for generations. The old adage “if it bleeds, it leads” is a common phrase in news rooms. For instance, stories on the evening news about health and wellness are not very uplifting; but Americans are living longer today than generations past. Neither are prescription drug side effects as terrible as the media makes them out to be. The positive benefits of these medications far outweigh the side effects in most cases. Science has come a long way and American health has reaped the benefits along the way.
Many Americans are making great home buys at huge savings because of the foreclosure rates. Additionally, large numbers of workers are furthering their educations as a result of unsuccessful job searches. More people are returning to churches or finding alternative routes to spiritual guidance, building stronger communities and closer families out of new hardships.
These may not be the perfect scenarios found in the typical American dream, but they are some positive points and situations coming out of an economic downturn. America bounces back and fights to win. Americans are resilient people. They pull together in hard times and support one another during times of loss.
If more media broadcasts and printed news would find the positive points of view in these times of trouble, Americans may better be able to build their morale and pull themselves out of financial trouble.
There are millions of people in America who currently practice Pilates, and literally thousands of instructors teaching them how to do so. One of the primary target demographics are well off businesspeople who lead an active lifestyle. As such, more and more Pilates studios are trying to stay in the region of luxury hotels. As one example, the Mark on Madison Avenue and 77th Street is just a pleasant five-block walk to Uptown Pilates on Madison and 72nd. Uptown Pilates is just one of many new studios tactically positioning their business location to accommodate luxury oriented travelers.
The term “Pilates” refers to an exercise regimen developed by German-born Joseph Pilates. He suffered from several ailments as a child and overcame them through exercise. He moved to England in 1912 and was placed in an internment camp with other German nationals during World War I, and there began sharing his knowledge of exercise and its benefits. After the war Pilates worked well at rehabilitating returning veterans. In 1926 Joseph Pilates came to the United States and taught the program until his death in 1967. Since that time, the workout concept has blossomed.
Joseph Pilates started out with a series of floor exercises, and later added several pieces of equipment and more exercises for each piece. Some instructors have followed that precedent and added more aspects. Names of different parts of the Pilates regimen, as well as names of pieces of equipment, have changed over the years. As a result, not all instructors present exactly the same version.
Uptown Pilates is just one of many studios opening up around Madison Avenue. Many a luxury hotel New York is positioned close to several such locations. Each instructor is certified (some hold multiple certifications) and can probably trace their instructional “genealogy” directly to Joseph Pilates. There are also studios located on the west side of Manhattan and in Sag Harbor.

“Thanks to all the Meeting Planners, Speaker Bureaus, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter Followers who have supported me. ” – Simon T. Bailey
ORLANDO, Fla. – With job satisfaction in the U.S. at a 22-year low – 55 percent of employed Americans are dissatisfied with their job – it`s not surprising that motivational messages are valued by meeting planners as the most appropriate keynote categories, according to a recent survey by Meetings & Conventions Magazine. “The American workforce has spent the past 24 months in a perpetual state of fear and panic, and it`s taken a tremendous toll on employee engagement,” says Simon T. Bailey, author, speaker and personal mentor/coach (www.simontbailey.com). “It`s time for organizations to develop an internal stimulus plan to re-energize their people.”
Organizations like Microsoft, Dell Computers, Proctor & Gamble, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Society of Human Resource Management Association and others have retained Bailey often over the past 24 months to motivate employees and re-ignite their organizational/ personal brilliance.
And while some leaders are focused on energizing their employees, Bailey`s concerned about a mindset he`s begun detecting in some business leaders – the notion that having or retaining a job should be all the motivation an employee needs. “Organizations that are focused on maintaining high levels of productivity should be troubled by the low levels of job satisfaction, because it has a very real effect on the bottom line,” says Bailey, who was selected in the same meeting professionals poll as one of the industry`s “Best Keynote Presenters ever heard or used” along with notable presenters like Colin Powell, Bill Gates,Tony Robbins (www.tonyrobbins.com), Sarah Palin (www.sarahpac.com) and Zig Ziglar www.zigziglar.com).
Bailey is spending considerable time on the road this summer sharing his motivational insights with organizations, including BizReset – a full-day seminar for businesses and consumers August 10 in Anaheim, California. (www.bizreset.com/oc), and a presentation at the ASAE Annual Meeting and Expo August 21-24 in Los Angeles.
“Simon spoke at the 2010 Association Forum Annual Meeting in Chicago, and delivered a program that was such a draw that extra chairs were brought in and attendees spilled out into the hallway,” said Christie Tarantino, President and CEO – Association Forum of Chicagoland. “Simon`s positive message continues to resonate with our attendees.” Bailey`s book “Release Your Brilliance” is also receiving accolades this summer as #17 of the Top 100 books being read by Corporate America, as reported by 800 CEORead.com, and #33 on Amazon`s Top 100 Motivational Books.
